Dolphin updated its iOS app bringing a number of new features and usability tweaks. Version 6.0 comes with quite a few changes, including:

  • Swipe Right for Open Tabs – Quickly swipe right to access all open webpages.
  • Search Bar right on Home Screen – You could search in the URL bar, but why not try the sleek new search bar right above Speed Dial?
  • Speed Dial goes Circular – You can jump to speed dial’s colorful circular buttons and background by clicking the home button at top right.
  • Reformatted Bookmarks Bar – Sync/edit/delete and add new bookmarks by swiping left.
  • Expanded Menu Bar with Settings on Bottom – All page and setting options can be accessed by clicking the menu icon to the right of the Dolphin button on bottom menu bar.
  • Access Sonar and Gesture with the Dolphin Button – Toggle quickly between Dolphin’s two signature features.
  • Link options – Open page in background, save link to downloads or copy URL by long-pressing a hyperlink in a webpage.

To celebrate the new release, Dolphin is also organizing a small contest inviting its users to win a camera-equipped quadricopter, Parrot AR.Drone. In order to participate, you should follow @dolphinbrowser, and tweet one reason why you love “flying with Dolphin.” Click here to start. Good luck! ;)
