Is there a way to redirect web clips so they open in the Puffin browser.

I would like the ability to redirect web clips to open in Puffin instead of Safari. Working in Education forces us to utilize many flash based sites which doesn't work in Safari and forces us to laptops instead of iPads.

Is there any work-around that would allow the link to be altered in any way to redirect the link to open in Puffin instead of the default Safari browser?

You can kind of do this by putting puffin://WEBADDRESS as the web link. For example

puffin://http://www.bbc.co.uk/

This will open the webclip in safari but then prompt the user to open in Puffin.

Edit: Be careful with Puffin as it's basically a hosted browser and doesn't usually follow the school filtering system. Might be worth using Puffin Academy.
