Our iDevices have at their disposal a powerful, fast browser called Safari, but we are not talking about a browser that offers us all the functions we need, but about a simple browser that does its job quickly. Because users want more, in Cydia the browser appeared Procyon which includes a lot of functions that can prove to be extremely useful for anyone. Among them we count: a download manager, the ability to open any tabs we want, the implementation of web GL and nitro Javascript, a system that automatically saves tabs when closing and reopening them, the ability to use fullscreen mode on the iPhone, plus many others :
- Smart Omnibar With Suggestions as you type – The browser recognizes if you want to go to a url search
- Download Manager – Notifications pop up at the top of the screen for download events, and view detailed progress in the download manager
- Tabbed Browsing with unlimited tabs – Open as many websites as your device's memory can handle
- Nitro – Accelerate Javascript Up to 3x as fast
- WebGL – View GPU accelerated 3D graphics
- Full Screen Mode on iPhone – Rotate your device into landscape, and use every pixel on the 3.5″ display to browse the internet
- Bookmarks – Save a single page for later
- Sessions – Save all your open tabs for later, and reopen them with one tap
- Homepage – Set your favorite website as your homepage, and the browser can automatically open it when you launch it
- Restore last session – When you close the browser, it saves the tabs for you and reopens them when you reopen the browser in the advent that the browser quits
- Back and Forward History – Hold down the back or forward button to view the list of websites backwards or forwards
- Pull to refresh – Why Tap when you can pull?
- iPad Support – Use a desktop-like version of the browser on your iPad.
Procyon is available for free in Cydia in the BigBoss repo.
