Ryan,

iPad has a mobile version of the Safari browser which can handle *most* HTML 5/JavaScript the web throws at it. If the chat uses something like Flash or Java, neither of those are supported.

Depending on how they do the chat, she could always see if there's an iTunes app that supports it.

Sky fire is a good browser.

But will it work with web sites with a live chat

Depends on the site/chat setup -- if you give us a link we can check.

Thats not answering his question......

they already allow you to install 3rd party browsers...

And this is why I avoid anyone on this site who's status ends in "ewbie"

Yeah, you could have totally skipped that last comment.

I've been searching for this same solution. Atomic browser is hit and miss as far as playing "everything". I'm gonna try skyfire next.
