Best Browser for XV6900/Vogue
 
So, I have been trying a few different browsers. I have been unable to find that perfect browsing experience. IE Mobile supports flash, but everything else about it stinks, its so slow I can't stand it. Skyfire is pretty decent but supposedly not a secure way to browse. Opera mini is very fast, awesome browsing experience but does not support flash. I really wish Opera Mini supported flash, I would consider that problem solved.

Anyone find the perfect browser or a combination of plugins that works best?

opera mini\skyfire for flash.

i ususally use opera mobile 9.5 build 15954, but i would probably use opera mobile 9.7b2 if it worked on my phone. Supposedly opera mobile 9.7 can accelerate browsing like opera mini does. In addition, there are different versions of opera mobile that have flash enabled but i doubt any of them are as good as skyfire at it. If you are running an old 6.1 rom then i think the flash video bundle will work with tcpmp but i havent tried that out in quite a while. Lastly i still do use opera mini for a few things like if i need a quick google or search, the built in opera link is nice and i really like opera mini's rss feed reader the best, for quick causal reading.

So i use Opera mobile 9.5/opera mini/skyfire in that order

if you want to find the version of opera that is right for you here is a good place to start

the arthor of the thread is trying to get all available versions in a single place.

and the flash video bundle is here

Lastly i have tried picsel and i liked it, it is not as good at text resizing and page layout as opera mobile but it was very smooth and easy to use, no flash though. If you want to try it, try and find a cab using google

+1 for Opera Mobile 9.7 You can set up to use accelerator in the options and it acts just like opera mini. Pretty fast. The accelerator still has some bugs with it but it's only in beta.

Opera Mobile 9.5 is very nice and full featured, but Skyfire is still the #1 on my phones, but it is a close 2nd place for Opera mini. I tried Bolt but could not get it to load successfully. If Opera Mobile 9.7 is faster I may switch back and give it another try.
Picsel mentioned in post #3 comes standard on the Samsung i760... the version on the phone is not well liked by i760 owners. I didn't mind it, but I don't use it.

+1 for skyfire. It's the easiest to navigate, manipulate, and search...the search bar doubles as either a search bar or url/www navigation, displays flash, and is fast. Downloads are a breeze; I've been using it since it was in beta, now using official release.

I tried opera, just didn't like it. I'm sure it has its advantages.
