If you are going to a site like redtube, then you have to use skyfire. I find that viewing ANY streaming video in skyfire is a PITA. It doesn't automatically fit to screen--and you can't do it, even if you want to. Chances are, if I am watching a video, I want to actually see it. Not some tiny square on an already-tiny screen. If you zoom in, you get a whole new level of annoyance--with parts getting cut off/etc.

Maybe if they improved the zoom/panning features, it would work better, but that's been my experience so far.
I'm still playing around with skyfire and so far I pretty much agree with the above. It's nice that it has flash but I think youtube is the only website I frequently go to that has flash. And I think I like the youtube client better.

After about 15-20 minutes using skyfire, the zooming/panning is pretty annoying. If it had the d-pad scroll it might be less annoying, but I think I'll be using opera 95% of the time.
