Canopy Tweak for iOS 7 Brings Dozens of New Features to Safari

Canopy for iOS 7 is a new tweak available in Cydia that brings dozens of features to the built in Safari web-browser on your iOS device.

Canopy introduces a recently closed pages option to let users open any webpage that they might have accidentally closed out of. In addition, it lets users prevent the navigation bar from hiding when scrolling, a feature that was introduced in iOS 7. Other features include translation tools, an updated action/share menu, and much more.

The following is a complete list of all the features Canopy adds to Safari:


● Recently Closed Pages (the native implementation from the iPad, so it knows not to remember in Private mode, remembers the page's back/forward history)
● Option to prevent the navigation bar from hiding when scrolling
● Long press on Bookmarks, History items and Reading List items to:
-Copy the address
-Add them directly to Reading List or Bookmarks
-Share them on Facebook, Twitter, Email, iMessage/SMS
● Paste and Paste & Go inline in the address/search bar
● Translate any page from the action/share menu
● Open in Chrome added to the action/share menu
● Add all open pages to Reading List or Bookmarks folder & Close all open pages
● Open Safari settings by pressing the gear icon in the Pages View
● Open Canopy settings by long pressing the gear icon in the Page View
● Open Safari from Safari settings and Canopy Settings
● Long press on the View Pages button to open a new page
● Long press on the Bookmarks button to add current page to bookmarks or to
reading list (option in settings)
● Swipe Reading List items to reveal button to Mark Read or Unread
● Insert search and address suggestion into their respective text fields without Going/Searching (like in Chrome)
● Change Home screen web clip settings (fullscreen)

As with most tweaks, can configure options via the Settings menu. Canopy requires iOS 7 and currently does not offer iPad support. You can purchase it in the Cydia Store for $1.99.
