Skyfire is by far the best browser out there. Even in beta, it performs better than any other browser I've tried.

go to the website skyfire.com and sign up. But don't count on getting a beta for a couple months

1+ for Opera Mini... but I have a feeling that Skyfire will surpass it.

Skyfire is simply NOT usable right now... it basically turns the whole web page into an image, which means as you scroll, it has to redownload parts of the webpage again and again and again. Even if the web page has zero plugin usage on it, it still takes FOREVER to scroll down the page...

That said, I use Opera Mobile 8.65 for just about everything. It really doesn't perform well if your ROM uses less than an 8MB page pool though but with an 8MB page pool, it flies. MUCH faster than PIE and works on a lot more sites.

Opera Mini is cool as long as you're not reading or posting to forums... or downloading... or sometimes logging in to sites...... But when it does work, it works very well and its by far the fastest browser for the PPC.
