Makes news easy – Start Up! Browser (Ad Blocker) Review

Basically a browser with hundreds of news-oriented, mobile site bookmarks. You can arrange the icons of these bookmarks on a front page, and even add your own. Blocks most ads on the mobile sites. Toggle the controls off to free up screen space, but you can still navigate back and to the home page even with the controls invisible. At times slower than Safari. The only real problem I have with it is that it feels unresponsive because when you tap an icon, it doesn't darken long enough to give you a sense that you've made your input. Also, the address bar doesn't turn into a progress bar as in Safari, so even though there is a small spinning wheel, you don't know if the page is really loading until you see it happen. Minor nits to pick include these: I would like to be able to omit the Instapaper, iTunes, and "Apps" buttons. Sometimes links from Google News don't launch properly. Can't open multiple windows.
