[Electronics-talk] Safari: Help and/or Better Options?

[Steve Jacobson]

Christine,

I do not claim to be a web browsing expert with IOS, but I think that some of what you are experiencing might be due to the VoiceOver interface and not necessarily Safari.  This is not to be critical of VoiceOver, 
but the touch interface seems to be more problematic for some of us when needing to interact intensely as can happen with serious web browsing.  I have heard that some like Chrome better on IOS but have not 
tried that.  However, I have found that when needing to do some intense web browsing, the use of an external keyboard is very helpful.  If you are going to do a lot of browsing, it might be worth considering trying 
a separate bluetooth keyboard.  Also, a braille display provides methods of interacting with the phone beyond reading braille that you might find useful.  If you are considering a braille display at all, this is an 
additional benefit to be considered.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
