There are some cool new features in the work, which will be available shortly after the release of iOS 4.2.1! However I'm still thinking and tweaking the iPad version of fgBrowser.
I'm very happy to announce: fgBrowser 2.6 is finally released!
[INFO Compatibility]
Some users reported a glitch with formular data. After filling one field, the browser gets unresponsive to links or other formular data. This is a compatibility issue with the 3.0 iPhone OS It's a bug which should be addressed by Apple with an 3.0.1 update.[/INFO]
Instructions how to setup your private fgBrowser 2.6 bookmarklet:
manually install:
1.) Launch Mobile Safari (on your iPhone)
2.) Surf to "google.com" and make a new bookmark of google.com
3.) Go to your bookmarks, touch "edit" and touch on your newly created google.com bookmark
4.) This will bring up the edit screen. Put there "private multitouch" as a title (this text is up to you)
5.) The very important part:
In the URL field type in exactly the next bold line
6) After that you may return to the bookmark screen
7) From now on, if you like to send an safari bookmark to fgBrowser, just surf to the site with safari, bring up the bookmark screen, and tap on "private multitouch"
8) This will close safari and brings up multitouch - fgBrowser. If everything went OK you should see a short flashing "+ bookmark added" sign
I dedicate this release to the one and only MICHAEL JACKSON!
But the Private fgBrowser 2.6 update is still in review und should be available soon! It features also the "touch loading indicator icon to STOP loading" and some iPhone 3.0 improvements. Currently if you are using 2.5 on a prior 3.0 device everything will work fine. With 3.0 AND the PRIVATE version you will encounter problems following some links. This issue is already fixed in 2.6.
I'm currently emailing with apple about the AutoFill feature. Hope fgBrowser will soon utilize this one.
6) After that you may return to the bookmark screen
7) From now on, if you like to send an safari bookmark to fgBrowser, just surf to the site with safari, bring up the bookmark screen, and tap on "private multitouch"
8) This will close safari and brings up private multitouch - fgBrowser. If everything went OK you should see a short flashing "+ bookmark added" sign
As usual, if there any problems just send me an email.
"fgB Private Room - a multitouch fullscreen web browser". I hope you enjoy the new features and improved speed. I've changed the name so everybody knows that they do not have to shake their lovely iPhones for fullscreen browsing.
Some people asked for a "private" one, and why there are 2 versions of fgBrowser:
So let me explain: It is hard to make a private browser and a "history" able browser in one app. Not because it would be hard to code. Noo! It is hard because you (as a user) can't really distinguish if you are now surfing private or not. So if you wan't to surf to some adult sites, just start fgB Private. For all other sites just use your normal fgBrowser!
so long.... spread the word :-) /UPDATE
Thank you for so many very good reviews. I wanna say thank you! You guys blown my mind away! There is also a review at a Swiss blog (in German language) : http://www.iphone-blog.ch
I hope you spread the word, about a really handy gesture fullscreen browser, which replaces now for so many people around the world, after only 2 weeks in AppStore, the old "default" Safari.
"make things as fast as possible to use in a very convenient and cool way..."
I've prepared the next update (2.5) already. It features a "scroll to top" function like everybody knows of safari and speed improvements as well (again ;-) ).
