iOS 8 - #4 - Mobile Safari, Sharing & Extensions - Preview

In this episode I take you through all the new features in Mobile Safari.

Most of the changes in Mobile Safari are "under the hood" but there are still some welcome changes to the UI and how it works.

I also take a look at two third party extensions - Pocket and 1Password.

Pocket is a free service (although there is an optional premium service), that allows you to gather together web pages, videos, etc to read later. The new Pocket Extension allows you to share web pages directly from Mobile Safari into Pocket, and even add tags. No more struggling with difficult to install bookmarklets!

1Password is the fantastic password manager application and they have produced an extension that allows you to access your usernames and passwords stored in 1Password and enter them directly from within Mobile Safari. In this segment, I also demonstrate the process on the iPhone with the added benefit of using TouchID to authenticate with 1Password - the way of the future!
