what web browser are you using?
 
ok so i bought a treo pro. im coming from a touch pro. now im having a problem finding a good browser that i like. all the ones that i have tried have there advantages and disadvantges.
im mostly using iris browser
my problem with it is that i have to zoom in to read the font. yes i can double tap but it becomes to big. i do like the smooth scrolling and the webkit engine plus basic flash sites play.
i also use netfront 3.5
my problem is that it takes to long to render big sites and often crashes when going to heavy scripted and image sites (no not porn) but i do like that the virtual canvus feature and the ablity to choos how you want to render it. netfront also has the smooth scrolling
ie6
another browser that works good for certain sites and has the smooth scrolling feature but its super slow. sites take forever to load and sometimes stall out in the middle of rendering it. yes there is that hack that takes itr back to PIE but you lose the smooth scrolling feature. with out doing the hacks or add ons it sucks at scrolling.
offical opera mobile.
loaded it once but it has that stupid screen scramble when you first load it. havent tried any of the tweaked ones let . but didnt like the whole scrren fuzzing out.



has anyone else tried any other web browser that have worked out decent on the pro](*,)

I use skyfire for normal browsing, and IE6 for mobi sites(banking, twitter). I like skyfire the most

Yes it does. But the browser still doesn't compare to the capabilities of skyfire or opera. W/ IE6 you still need to do way to much scrolling around to see what you want.

I use PIE for mobile browsing and Skyfire for sites I need to see in native format.

What exactly am i missing then because if i go to a page with any sort of flash i get an error message something along the lines of "this device does not support flash"

Checked options and properties with no mention of flash and when i go to the flash website it says my device is not supported.

Please explain.

This actually is working very well for me, too. And I have the tweak that takes IE back...gives many options.

Am I the only one using Opera Mobile? Works well for me! I haven't tried Iris on this phone but I tried it on my Touch Pro before I sold it and it was pretty cool, but not enough to use full time.

Hey darren do you like posting a cab for the latest Opera. Thanks.

I am using the latest Iris (they recently updated it). I find it more stable than Opera Mobile on the Treo Pro.

Re: what web browser are you using?
 
The latest version of Iris rocks. I like it much better than Opera, Skyfire and needless to say IE (all of which I tried on my Treo Pro).

UCWeb FTW

It's like Opera Mini and Mobile combined...but more Mini, lol. Very fast and great options.

For me it opera mini 4.1, skyfire 0.9.9.3, for forums and chat rooms...I really prefer opera mini over all...Then IE for mobile banking etc...

waiting for google turbo mobile browser to be released for wm phones...

Are any of you guys having memory issues with all the browsers. I am thinking of getting a treo pro tomorrow, but i know that the memory is pretty low.

info[]box1 05-02-2009 06:04 PM

Re: what web browser are you using?
 
install the web browser and pretty much everything you download to your storage card...when you buy the phone have a 8gb sd ready to go...I havent experience any memory issues yet...program will maintain between 52
to 27mb avaliable space...

just install everything to micro sd and you will cool...

I'd like to know this as well. I'm having issues with Mini and my Treo Pro, it either won't run at all or when when it does it freezes immediately.

Re: what web browser are you using?

You have a working Opera Mini cab? Any chance I could get you to send it to me? Puhleasse? ;)

I tried Opera 9.7 but it didn't have a zoom slider anywhere I could find so I uninstalled it. Thanks.

Re: what web browser are you using?
 
i just search my device for the opera mini .cab that i used...and cant locate it at the moment...but go to treocentral.com and look for a similar discussion bout web browsers/treo pro...that where i got it...once i find it ill post .cab anyway...
