Macworld lays out 5 Safari tricks for iOS 8

Worth a read, even if you already know most of these.

One quibble, though.

Sometimes you don’t want the stripped-down mobile version of a website. Google’s Chrome has long had a “request desktop version” option, and now Safari does also.

To access this, give a gentle pull down on the menubar to see two new choices: Add to Favorites and Request Desktop Site. Tap the latter and the page will reformat, usually presenting itself in desktop glory.

I believe you need to tap in the menubar so you are editing the URL, which will bring up the favorites popup. Tap in the favorites popup and drag down to reveal the Add to Favorites and Request Desktop Site choices.

Other than that minor point, this is good to know.
