I honestly uninstalled it after a day, cause i figured i must have done something wrong. Ill give it another go.

Usually when a site doesn't load correctly in Netfront or if I get the error, I give it a go in Opera Mobile. If that doesn't work, I just give up on that site. It's rare that a site won't be navigable in either one or the other, so they are pretty good at complementing each other.

By the way, have you seen this video?

The official promotional video for the new Toshiba Snapdragon device. I mention the video because they show a new version of PIE - and it looks incredible. It looks even better than the version we've seen in some Treo Pro videos.... I can't wait for THAT browser.

Honestly, the Iris browser isn't that bad... It doesn't have the image loading problems of Opera Mobile, that's for sure.

I have Opera Mobile 9.5, PIE 6, and Iris... If they'd just make Iris a bit zippier and give you a way to get rid of that annoying preview window, I'd use it over Opera...

Wow, thats looking nice. I read yesterday that Htc will be throwing in with snapdragon, and have a device with it, released this coming fall. As much as i dislike pie, when all others fail, i always go back to it. Pieplus gives it a little more functionality also. It's nice to have a choice at least - pie, opera mini, opera mobile, netfront, skyfire, iris, ucweb, bolt, picsel, and hopefully fennec today

I haven't used Netfront in a long time. I may give it another try just because of this. Thanks.

I was wondering what mobile browser everyone is using, i am using the sprint stock version of opera and its good but i know there could be something better out there and was wondering which version everyone else was using. thanks.

Im Using the Opera browser thats in Merdins Rom and for watching streaming tv shows i use SkyFire.

Fennec is still not ready to be out with the big dogs but looks promising. i honestly cant remember when the last time i opened up internet explorer, its just not on par with opera IMHO

I use Opera Mini for on the go browsing, I use Opera Mobile for sites like ppcgeeks, and I use Skyfire for Hulu

opera mini-Mostly
skyfire- Video site
Bolt- some site display better then in Opera.
Oc6web?- This and bolt are faster on load times.

opera mini, opera mobile. netfront was ok,but now mostly using opera mini.it is fastest,and i like that i can use d-pad for scrolling page.i use it in combination with pocket tunes 5 or pocket player (listening my favorite online radio stations Martini in the morning and penthouse.fm) in background.
