Re: The Best Browsers
Opera Mini.

Unless I'm totally missing something, I don't see how Opera Mobile is even in the conversation.

I just ran a quick test over a wifi connection, it took 3 seconds to load ppcgeeks.com on Opera Mini and 15 seconds to fully load on Opera Mobile.

Opera Mobile is just very slow to me. Am I totally wrong on the times or are you Opera Mobile users just accepting that that's how long things take?

On pages with lots of graphics, the difference is even greater.

Opera Mini renders pages for me very well. Tabs and flash aren't going to work, I can always open something else for times where that's needed, but 90% of the time, I'm checking some info out or reading a forum, etc.

You can kind of make Opera Mini the default, but using this here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384271

Also, for those of you voting "Opera", you need to specify Mini or Mobile.

Keep in mind that both Opera Mini and Skyfire uses server side rendering so it is always going to be faster then Opera Mobile which does not.
A more fair comparision would to compare Opera Mobile with Netfront or PIE

Re: The Best Browsers
Why is it not a "fair" comparison?

If Mini and Skyfire renders pages properly, who cares what they do to make it faster?

That is true... The fault against Mini is that it limits how much text you can input into a box... I believe it's 256 or something... Not fun if you are trying to post a reply on this site... You are right though... Mini is a great web browser...

Interesting. I've never run into that issue (I probably haven't tried replying here, though I'm replying on my desktop now and the url isn't anywhere close to 256 chars), though I could see that being a minor problem if you frequently use a site where the URLs are set up that way.

Re: The Best Browsers
lol.. I guess I had a crap Opera Mini build.. lol.. When ever I tried to input text in the 'Quick Reply' box, it let me only input 256 or something close to it.. I also had issues with trying to download files.. I always had to open it to IEM and download it from there... Oh well.. What I prefer in Opera Mobile over Opera Mini is the Tab features... I agree Mini is way faster, but Mobile will never be that fast until it is server-side rendered..
