Puffin Web Browser is another remote connection app that displays most Flash content, although not as well or as consistently as Photon. Its full-screen video option works well and offers the promised smoother video, unfortunately it didn't work on many common sites. Using the app is frustrating, because it is always streaming content and does not resize the remote computer's screen to fit the iPad's screen, which means that to see all of a website, you have to scroll in all directions.

DISCLAIMER: Puffin Cloud Browser is NOT a web browser.

Puffin Cloud Browser is the client app that accesses the cloud server which runs the web browser. The Puffin client app and the Puffin cloud server do not communicate in HTTP protocol and the data exchange is not in HTML format. The Puffin client app is like the remote desktop client and the Puffin cloud server is like the remote desktop server. Puffin Cloud Browser gives the audience the illusion of a web browser but it is not, in reality, a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser can only "display" the web content rendered on the cloud servers but can't "render" the web content itself on the client devices.
