Safari is the stock web browser on the iOS platform, and love it or hate it, the jailbreak community has come up with countless ways to customize it for the better.
One of the latest releases to benefit the Safari web browser is ajailbreak tweakdubbedSafari Plusby iOS developeropa334. This tweak brings a host of new configuration options so you can customize Safari any way you see fit.
SafariPlus covers a wide band of features, ranging from aesthetic to functional. It adds a preferences pane to the Settings app where you can access all of the options in one place:
There are five different sections, including: General, Action Addons, Gesture Addons, Other Addons, and Color Settings. We’ll show you each of the sections in the outlines below:
In the General section, you’ll find a number of general options for improving the user experience in Safari. Among the things you can do here are:
Action Addons
In the Action Addons section, you’ll find all of the following options:
Gesture Addons
In the Gesture Addons section, you’re able to apply and utilize various kinds of gestures in the Safari app. Those include:
Other Addons
In the Other Addons section, you’ll find a couple of miscellaneous options, including:
Color Settings
In the Color Settings section, you can colorize the Safari app by configuring custom colors for both normal and private browsing mode. Among those, you can configure colors for the following UI elements:
For each colorization option, you are presented with a color picker, which means you may pick from an infinite pool of colors instead of a list of predefined colors. This is great because it lets you get in between certain colors and get the exact color you’re looking for.
Overall, Safari Plus is a high-quality tweak worth grabbing. It has a lot to offer in a free package, and I was surprised to see this wasn’t a paid tweak when I first laid eyes on it.
Safari Plus can be had from Cydia’s BigBoss repository and the developer has alsoopen-sourced the tweak on GitHubfor those interested in learning more about how it works behind the scenes. Worthy of note, the tweak works on alljailbrokeniOS 10devices.
