It is hard enough to browse the Web using iPads and iPhones because of the smaller UI and keypads compared to laptops and PCs.

This cydia tweak speeds up your browsing speed remarkably; especially that of Web Browser Apps like Chrome, Facebook, twitter etc. This tweak achieves this browsing speed by adding a JavaScript called JIT (Just-In-Time). It is the same JavaScript that’s used in Nitrous Cydia Tweak to boost the speed of browsing experience. The only existing Browser that comes with this JIT by default is the Safari App from Apple. Apparently, someone made it unavailable to use for all other Web browsers but Safari so that it can be above all others in browsing speed.
