Safari on the iPhone is fast, useful, and, admittedly, a little boring. There are plenty of third-party options in the App Store, but since Apple forces them all to use WebKit, most of them are essentially Safari. That hasn’t stopped one indie developer from trying to make things interesting, though.

Create your own Safari extensions for iPad and iPhone (Shortcut Sunday)

Greg De J's Quiche browser is unique, engaging, and fully customizable, down to every button and toolbar you see in the interface. You can take advantage of this to make the browser much more functional, such as adding a button dedicated to private browsing in the toolbar. Plus, it has plenty of color and layout options to explore to really fine-tune your browsing experience.

You can build the entire UI from scratch, but it’s better to start with one of the presets. Go to the Settings page and you’ll find the Toolbar Gallery option at the top. Here you have a ton of options. You can stick with the traditional Safari style, with an address bar on top and buttons below, and customize every part of it. Or you can choose to hide all the buttons behind a menu and rock a super minimalist browser interface.

Once you've chosen your starting point, go back into the settings to customize the theme color, toolbar layout, address bar style, menu button, and context menu.
