Re: Finally, a browser that's faster (and better) than Opera Mini

Wow,

Skyfire fans....heh. I'll have to give 4.2 a shot again. However, I swear that whenever I use SF, I have to wait a considerable amount of time before scrolling around or i'll have the 'unloaded' checkered screen show up everywhere....

Later,

Matt!

PPL who want flash vids arent on www.Youtube.com but www.Redtube.com and are adicts so they have to have the flash.......j/k

Each browser has its own advantages and disadvantages. I still use PIE+ sometimes.

Re: Finally, a browser that's faster (and better) than Opera Mini

Netfront is a good browser v3.5. Although, it does this double layering thing while loading webpages, really annoying. It will load the web page briefly, then load it again, and sometimes reload pictures, and it really sucks if your on a slow connection. (If you use it a lot, you probably now what I'm talking about.) And there is also another annoyance. Since our Mougls dont have great program memory, if you view a large page, a box will appear saying insuffiiecint memory etc.. But I still use it time to time.

Re: Finally, a browser that's faster (and better) than Opera Mini

As much as I like Skyfire, I think it has it's disadvantages.

While it does load pages very quickly (probably the fastest for me) it is constantly rendering the page. Once I'm zoomed in, any time I scroll around it has to render it, and at times it becomes very slow and cumbersome.

Although, I do love it for the video, and the simple awe effect when you show people.

I haven't messed around with Netfront enough to give it any valuable input on it.

Re: Finally, a browser that's faster (and better) than Opera Mini

wow all these Skyfire fans... I like Skyfire but only for flash videos like for when i go to myspace but thats it. Scrolling on it sucks and it'll take forever to read 1 page on this forum. Opera Mini is great for text sites like this. And Opera Mobile is in between those two which makes that an almost perfect browser. I havent tried Netfront since my Mogul but i will give it a try again.
