what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

ok, i know of 3 browsers. The default internet explorer, skyfire and opera 10. I dont care for internet explorer, i us opera 10, but is there anymore out there and which is the fastest, plays stuff like Hulu and more options.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

No there are not more browsers like skyfire.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

for just regular browsing nothing beats Opera Mini5 in my opinion. super fast and multiple tabs.
Ill attach it if you wanna try it out.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

IMO opera mini is def the best for regular web browsing
skyfire i believe is the only one with built in flash that can play videos (?)or is atleast considered the best available for clip viewing

i think opera 10 is a mixture of both. not as fast as mini and has flash lite

here's a pretty good browser, UCWEB 7.0: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=105404

i had a serious lag with any other apps while skyfire was running in the backround

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

Opera Mini is the freaken best! IMHO, of course lol. Though I get better "real" speeds when testing IE VS Opera 10, I assume the speed would be the same in Mini if there was not proxy in use.

tonite i gave mini a chance 5.0.3521 to be precise & at first thought it was cool but i was having trouble posting on the mobile version of this site. i would reply & nothing would show up & back button dont return me to the page with my text like the versions of opera im used to. then i re enter it all & again. then all my text is gone but 1 sentence ... idk but if its not gonna work with m.ppcgeeks correct then it aint for me. lol .. i want the version of opera that was with my 6.1 sprint stock rom back but idk what it was

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

guess im one of the few that prefer the old fashion IE.. by the time opera loads im already on google typing in the search and hitting enter.

for long term browsing maybe i'd pick opera, but for quick stuff i stick with IE.

I love PIE for browsing wap sites. Nothing beats it! :headbang:

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

thanks for all the replies. the only thing with IE is every time i google something it always redirects my search saying its not trusted or something like that. anyways i like opera 10, nice zoom options, plenty of tabs and alot of settings plus i like the fact that when i download something it alows me to min. it also i can look at past downloads.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

whoops found my IE never used it though just use the default opera that comes on the phone or opera 10 or skyfire.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

I mainly use UCweb 7 and Opera Mini 4.2 and once in a while skyfire.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

I too am a heavy UCWeb 7 user. Absolutely love the "night" feature which adjusts screen brightness for less eye strain. Very kewl.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

This.

Opera Mini 5 = unparalleled in terms of quick, convenient browsing.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

I totally agree, but don't you have the problem where google redirects everything when you use IE for some reason??

I don't have that annoying problem with Opera (although I'm not sure why it would be any different??)

My vote has to go to opera mini 4.2. I don't like opera mini 5 because it has a problem with loading blank pages. Especially with facebook mobile. About 90% of the time i try to read the comments on someone's status, it just loads a blank page. Opera mini 4.2 never lets me down

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

I dont use IE anymore but I think I had this problem also. I think it is a google setting problem and not an IE problem. What I did was set IE to view as mobile and not desktop. Then I went to google.com and when it loaded clicked on settings under the search bar. Then clicked on format web pages for your phone to off and then saved. Believe that solved the redirect issue.

I use OperaMini pretty much all the time now. Wish there was a way to remove IE. Its just wasting space for me now.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

Thanks for the info mcop10, I'll give that a try.

I use OperaMini also, but as sebo said IE is definitely faster to just do a simple Google search, I never use it for anything else.

Re: what r the diff web browsers for TP2, and which is the best?
 

Mini 4.2 was my all time favorite browser for a long time but it's not perfect either.

I had constant problems where it would not connect to a link I had clicked on & simply reloaded the current page instead (it did it constantly on PPCGEEKS). A lot of other people reported the same thing & there was no fix ever posted for that bug.

OK, that fixed the problem.

Thanks again, I love this site.......
