could the slow panning be due to alot of people on this new release?????? The server getting overloaded?????? Or once ya page is downloaded completely does that not matter??

MAYBE THERES a 1.5.1 right around the corner, skyfire updates it enough..lol

This version is still blocked by Hulu. I figured Skyfire would have added a way for you to have the browser appear as IE or a newer version of Firefox so it wouldn't get blocked by Hulu's servers.
Does anyone know how to change the User-Agent string in the HTTP request for Skyfire?

Guess I'm one who's not as impressed as the op. My graphics,pics and font are not sharp and actually fuzzy around the edges. Some sites don't let me in at all. Not a keeper, waiting for the next upgrade.

Ok, as I've been Alpha testing Skyfire since its' beginning and the 1.5.x builds for some time now, I'm curious as to whether anyone has noticed that auto rotation is now built in. To me, that was another positive improvement that I have not seen mentioned yet!

Also, I personally feel the browser is much snappier when scrolling and zooming then it was in the initial Alpha builds. The servers are taking a pretty big hit today and I'm sure responsiveness will continue to improve. As I know that is always a focus.

Open Skyfire hit settings and check off "Set Skyfire as default browser"

I've tried doing it this way but then when I go to internet and launch browser it's always opera any ideas?

The interface and display are much better, but as mentioned above, the speed leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's even slower than Opera 9.5.

one good thing about this compared to opera is on opera when you go to youtube you can't view it like you can on your computer like look at people's channels. On skyfire you can do that.
