Looking for 'true' multi-tab browser for iwantisk :p

Posting here since this is OOP topic probably as this is more of a question regarding multi-tab browser for iOS device (mine is iPhone 6+), but I ask the eve community ehre because t I need it for is to do 'true' multi-tab slot machine from iwantisk.com on my iOS device, so it's :somewhat: eve related... erm yeah. :p

Here are some of my experiences with trying to do multi-tab slots on iPhone 6 Plus and the reason why I say I'm looking for 'true' multi tab browser.

1. Safari/Chrome/Firefox for iOS

I can run multi-tab instances of slot machines, and it works for the first minute or so. And then it seems like the non-active tab goes into 'pause' mode, and does not keep spinning. It seems these browsers only continuously stream & interact with the iwantisk server when the tab is active (on view), and when I'm doing things on another tab the 'background' tabs go on pause mode and does not continue to spin the slots

2. Split Browser (from Savy Soda)

This works very nicely, and I can actually see the multiple tabs of slots running independently in real-time as this browser allows for split screen view of each tab & constantly updates all tabs. However, it shows some strange behaviour after a minute or so into multi-tab slot machines - some of the tabs become 'synced' with other tabs, and eventually I get identical spins on two or more tabs (but I only get the winning ISK once - so basically one tab is mirroring another tab instant of being a 'true' independent tab). I tried MANY times to make sure that what I was seeing was not co-incidence of same spin results. I try pausing a tab or two for few spins and re-initiate the auto spins at different time intervals, but after some minnutes or so, two or more tabs will start to mirror each other again. So I don't feel that this browser can really handle multiple instances of slot machines at iwantisk.

3. Dolphines browser

Now this is the only one that I found actually 'works'. If I have 4-6 tabs of slots running, I can switch tabs ramdomly and verify that all slots are spinning independently - so this is what I guess I could call 'true' multi-tab streaming/interaction with the server, each tab working independently. However, the problem is that if I run multiple tabs for extended periods of times, some tabs 'die', as in become unresponsive and I cannot open those tabs any more even if I click on the tab. It seems that the browser stably supports multi-tab up to 2 or 3 tabs at maximum. If it goes over that, some of the tabs eventually start dying/freezing. Not sure if this is browser problem or my hard-ware (iPhone 6 plus) problem.


So my question is, if anybody knows a multi-tab browser for iOS device that does what I want to do - true multi-tab slot machines on iOS device. If there is hardware issue, as in limitations of iPhones in handling such multi-task processes, I can seriously consider something like more robust hardware such as latest iPads or even iPad pro. I play at iwantisk more than enough to justify the cost of such investment (lol).

If android has easy & definitely working solutions, there are many cheap android devices I can get too, so that would be an option too.

But obviously my preference would be to find the right browser that can do what I want to do on iPhone 6 plus (to be upgraded to iPhone 7 plus later in the year probably). I don't mind paying for APPs if they work so it does not have to be a free solution.

If anybody has successful experience of multi-tab slots of iwantisk on a mobile device, please do share your experience and it would be very much appreciated!


Thank you in advance.
