All these while Safari has been the dominant browser for iPhones and iPads, as it comes default with the devices. But if you’re one that’s rebellious, you would’ve already downloaded an alternative browser for your iDevice. One browser that’s considered good for these iOS devices is Opera Mini, and now here’s a new version for the larger iOS device, the iPad.

Opera has announced the release of v6.0 of its Mini mobile browser, which now has support for all iOS portables, including the iPad and iPad 2, plus a specific shoutout for the iPhone 4′s retina display. The overall design of the web explorer has also been freshened up, with a “new look and feel,” while a social sharing function will let you blast URLs into Twitter and Facebook directly from the app.

Additionally, the new version includes the ability to load tabs in the background and improves support for non-Latin alphabets like Arabic and Chinese. Get yours now at the download link below.
