Oceanus Web Browser is the ultimate web browser for the iPhone or iPod Touch. The browser makes browsing super easy and intuitive while using many of the advanced hardware features that are available. For example, you can use the device accelerometer to scroll your web pages simply by tilting (ie. Tilt down to scroll down or tilt up to scroll up). Or you can use tabs that are designed like they are on the desktop browser to quickly and efficiently create/delete/switch tabs. Or you can simply type a few words of a URL (or website name) and Oceanus will search for that URL in your bookmarks or history (if any available), similar to Safari, in order to make URL loading as simple and efficient as possible. Oceanus is the ONLY browser that is ALWAYS introducing bleeding edge features that redefine the mobile web experience.
Oceanus 3.0 Advanced Feature: URL Filtering. Use regular expressions to filter unwanted web pages or web page subcomponents. You can use the filter to block ads, set up a parental control or even block images. Neat, huh?

Customer Reviews
Kvetch
The closest thing to a desktop web browser you can put on your iPhone. Well worth it!
What can I say..
So I told you i'd give you 5 stars if you added picture save and you did...
BUT NOW...
-The app is stupid slow..
-And It also reloads the tabs when you re-visit instead (friggin stupid annoying)
-next.. You guys went from a cool icon to pure gayness!!! Maybe you should give US the option. (the original icon was cut off at the top though!! Fix that too!!)
For now I'm deleting the app due to the fact that Safari makes it look like you ride the short bus... I'll check back occasionally.
Thanks
Outstanding but still lacks just one crucial feature...
My previous review indicated that the Google mobile apps (Reader and Gmail) didn't run in Oceanus. That has now been fixed! Excellent. This is really an outstanding browser replacement as it adds a really nice auto-scroll, tabs, full-screen view, etc. All that said, it is surprising with a browser this full featured that the ability to search for a word on the page isn't included. If that functionality were there, I'd give this 5 stars.
