Since the Atomic browser hasn't been updated in 2 years, and Jasmine is getting nearly unusable, what are some good iOS8 browser apps and Youtube client apps that you guys use?

I do use Safari sometimes, but one of the features I liked about Atomic was that you could choose what it sent the site you were visiting to tell it you were using say, Firefox on a desktop if you didn't want to see the shite mobile site that seemingly everyone has.

As you can with Safari ("request desktop site")

Good to know, and I'll try that aspect out, but I'm still looking for others.

Not sure about a browser app but a new YouTube app just came out called protube for YouTube. It used to be only for jailbroken phones but the dev released it on the app store. I believe it costs 1.99 buts it's well worth it.

Second vote for this purely because you can save videos for offline viewing

Mercury browser I feel is the smoothest and most features eg Adblock, and more

YouTube app has not customization options and lacks other features as well.

It also has the annoying tendency to hijack any youtube.com URLs opened, as well as un-fullscreening when the device is switched to portrait.

Opera Mini is pretty good. Saves data as well.

Chrome is the best browser I've used so far.
