Re: What is the WORST browser ever?!?
heres my take on the browsers i have tried
Opera Mobile.....
UPS = Best overall browser, nice finger friendly interface, speed is getting better, auto text reformat, smooth scrolling and zoom, download manager
DOWNS = however its way buggy with flash content and somewhat of a memory hog
Skyfire.....
UPS = Fast, full flash support..... thats it.
DOWNS = Sharpness leaves much to be desired (blurry rendering overall), no true VGA support, slow rendering while panning, slow scrolling, annoying big bold text in messaging sites, annoying zoom
IE8..... (isnt IE6 thew one in the palm pro and IE8 in WM6.5????)
UPS = Very nice page rendering, stable flash support, auto text reformat
DOWNS = slow and laggy
Picsel.....
UPS = Best looking browser of them all when it comes to UI, smoothness, animations, zoom
DOWNS = Thats just it... it looks awesome but page rendering is really inaccurate (cut off, blank pages, etc.) no download support, no flash, really slow etc. (its the best to show off to your buddies but other than that its useless)
Opera Mini.....
UPS = fast fast fast, easy readble text, best for quick browsing and forums
DOWNS = no flash, no downloads (that i know of) originally made for dumbphones so not very useful except for quick browsing and reading
NetFront..... (sorry no review, hated it and uninstalled in less than 5 minutes)
UCWEB..... (same as above)
Mach5.....
UPS = Lots of potential, flash support with its own player, smoother and better rendering than skyfire, VGA support, fast
DOWNS = trial only for now, hong kong servers
Fennec..... (LOL)
PIE.....
UPS = great for mobile site browsing (thats it)
DOWNS = slow slow slow, keyhole view of the web, lots of delays, no panning support, horrible UI
Iris.....
UPS = Slightly faster than opera, smooth scrolling and zoom, best page rendering of all the above (accurate and sharp) stable flash support, mouse cursor, text reformat
DOWNS = No adjustable zoom, zoom delays when text reformat is on, needs a major UI makeover (no finger friendly and easy access controls) memory hog, no real full screen mode
Best Browsers IMO
1- Opera Mobile (best overall)
2- Iris (very very close second)
Worst
1- PIE (glad that fase of WinMo is over)
2- Fennec (i know its alpha but thats an embarrasment)
Hope this helps.............
