Lightweight and fast
Fuelhog
I have an older iPad, and it has trouble even running newer versions of Safari. I tried Ghostery because it was much smaller and used less resources. I was surprised to find that it is a fast and capable browser, and the ability to block tracking is a bonus. When I switched on all the blocking options, most ads disappeared completely, which is what I wanted anyway. Now I don't have to find and update an ad-blocking plugin. Nice job.
Amazing, but Crashes Constantly

Now, let me just start by saying that this is the best browser for iOS I have ever used. The ability to easily clear cookies/cache and block ad trackers really cuts down on my data usage and is something no other browser in the App Store has been able to deliver (minus jailbreaking, which is nigh-impossible nowadays). This app has entirely replaced Safari and Chrome as my mobile browser, and I don't want to switch back any time soon. But then this update came along. The previous update (as of the date if this posting) had fixed the crashing issue that made other versions quite frustrating to use. But now, with this next update, the crashing seems to have returned. After about five to ten minutes of browsing, or whenever I hit the back button, the app crashes. Brilliant. Don't get me wrong, I love Ghostery, both the app and the Chrome extension, and I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon, but if the developers cannot fix the crashing issue I will certainly reconsider. That aside, Ghostery is definitely worth your time and is one of the best things to ever happen to the App Store, period.
