Hi:

I just recently bought an Iphone 5 C. Everytime I use Google, it won't let me log into a certain website for work. I've had no trouble getting into this sight on any other computer. Also, Google doesn't seem to do well with pop-ups.

My questions are:
1. Do I need to enable cookies in my web browsers, and if so how?
2. Instabrowser was recommended as a good browser to put things in an easier-to-navigate format. However, it uses google search, so I'm having trouble logging into various sites. Can anyone recommend a browser that isn't google-based and handles pop-ups especially well? Safari does okay, but not great in my experience.
3. I use the select gesture of swiping up or down to make a selection. Is there any other tricks I should know? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Your feedback would be especially apreciated. Thanks.

when you said you use google, do you mean you use Google Search, or Google Crome? Also, have you try using Safari?

I've tried both Safari and Google Search. Is Google Chrome any better in your experience?

If you get the manual, you'll find a complete section on Safari. I don't personally use the browser all that much, so can't make a suggestion, but that section might help you understand and solve problems. I also think using Safari is a good way to start, due to design and you are using an Apple device, until you have it pat.

I don't use Google search since ios5 , can't speak from the experience. i found little different from Chrome and Safari. I'm still trying to understand the issue that you have. I never have problems with Safari to be honest. Swipe up and down to select is an option. But again, depends on your specific need and what you need to do to select text. Unfortunately, i can't give you any specific suggestion unless i can see the example of the website itself.
