Maybe I just haven't used it enough to find pages where it doesn't work right.
There are four things that, if fixed, would make this the best browser that I could expect to see on a PPC:
- No "stop" button
- No way to view+copy the URL of the page you are currently viewing
- No way to save images
- No way to click on a link and "save target"

Agreed. Skyfire is a great browser missing some simple basic functionality. Here's a couple of things I've found:
Skyfire doesn't give you the option to make it your default browser. If I click on a link in email, it opens my other installed browser. I had to do a regedit to make it the default browser.
Even when I did a regedit to make Skyfire the default browser and clicked on a link in email, it would open Skyfire, but only to the Skyfire start page, it wouldn't actually follow the link.
Also, if I put my Mogul into sleep mode, chances are Skyfire will be closed when I turn the phone on again. (That could be a Mogul/WM issue though.)
