iWebBoost este un tweak lansat in cursul acestei seri in Cydia, iar cu ajutorul sau putem imbunatati semnificativ viteza de incarcare a paginilor web folosind browserele terte sau aplicatiile precum Google Chrome, ori Facebook, care folosesc webview-uri. Functionand intr-un mod similar cu tweak-ul Nitrous, iWebBoost implementeaza suport pentru Nitro Javascript pentru aceste aplicatii terte ale App Store-ului, iar fiecare dintre ele va functiona la fel de repede si de bine precum browserul Safari al sistemului de operare.
The answer is simple: Apple denies them access to one game changing technology – Just In Time Compiling. Only Apple’s Safari is allowed to make use of it. But without JIT-Compiling JavaScript is much slower. All the speed gains of Chrome are consumed by this disadvantage. It is what makes the Facebook App so horribly slow. There is no reasonable advantage for the user to not use it. Apple just wants this advantage for their Apps.
iWebBoost este disponibil in repo-ul BigBoss al Cydia si nu va afecta decat aplicatiile care permit navigare pe internet.
