Sidefari is a web browser designed to work alongside Safari. It utilizes the Safari View Controller to present a "mini" Safari experience within other apps, offering features like content blockers and enhanced privacy.
Key features include integration with the Safari View Controller, support for content blockers, an "Open Modally in Safari" extension for in-app browsing, and the ability to display two websites side-by-side on compatible iPads.
The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. This means some advanced features or functionalities might require a purchase.
Sidefari is compatible with iOS 9 and newer. For the side-by-side browsing feature on iPads, specific models like iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, iPad Pro, or greater are required.
You can use the "Open Modally in Safari" extension, available in iOS 10.2 and newer. This extension allows you to open a Safari-based window directly within apps that support sharing website URLs, providing a more integrated and private browsing experience.
