When i browse some sites come up as mobile when they shouldn't
example... Myspace.com always comes up as mobile... And mobile view is off
any help? Cuz skyfire kills my battery much
there's some tweaks around on the forum somewhere to disable that. do some more searching adn you should be able to. it involves going into the about:config settings
Anyone have any tweaks that SPEED UP opera mobile? I use a combo of opera mini (FASTEST BROWSER ON THE FUZE!), skyfire, iris and opera mobile. it's ANNOYINg. if only opera mobile were as fast as mini...sigh

yea i use a combo of skyfire, opera mini and opera mobile
never tried iris yet
but yea i had to change a few keywords in my search... found it, thx
ive tried the settinngs listed in the thread, but none of the user agent spoofs work, i've tried every number from 1-9 i believe, soft reset with each one tried, most stuff still come up as mobile.... or should i just go ahead n not use the stock rom......
i use to flash roms to my herald ll the time, but i kinda started gettin used to the stock roms, if so, whats the best rom for the herald thats close to the original?
i know it was just announced but has anybody gotten the app yet? its supposed to be going out to carriers and oem's, not us consumers(yet). im hopoing someone leaks it quick! or does someone already have it? if so please share
really? were? site? >_> I DONT BELIVE YOU lol
http://www.androidcentral.com/opear-mobile-available-android-you-cant-have-it-yet
somebody has to leak it 1!!!1
apparently chances of that are low... but!!! now theyve announced that opera mini 5 is coming soon!!! anybody have that yet??
I was using Opera Mini 5 beta on WM6.1 and it was good, but it felt a bit too mobile. Every page I went on was loading in mobile mode, an sites with flash never loaded properly for me. I had a slide out keyboard, and I am sure it was a beta issue, but it was forcing me use the on screen keyboard. It was decent, but on a 2.8in screen felt very cramped. Opera 10 beta on the other hand loaded a bit slower to start up and web page loading was noticeably slower. However, web pages loaded more normal for me. That was on WM6.1 on a decently speedy device, on Android things could be a whole different story.
well i think either one, will be the best browser for android so far. mainly i like it because of that amazing speed in loading pages! even 4.2 is fast and i'd use that except the UI is horrible...
Opera mini5 (beta) was the best browser while I was using winmobile devices!
The interface was clever, the way it handled tabs was genius, it was sooo damn fast and the fact that you could go back in your browsing history without the browser reloading the page from the scratch was damn useful. I so hate that on the android browser (well, on actual browsers in general).
I'm really looking forward to the android-version but I'm afraid it won't support the hardware-keyboard of my G1 =(
So, is there any compelling reason to use Opera Mobile 10 over the Android browser? Will HTC flash work with Mobile 10? I can see a reason to use Mini 5 as that is a fast browser, and is fairly light. However, I can't see any reason to use Mobile 10 other than preference.
Well, if Opera 10 should support a double-tap to zoom feature I will for sure use it over the android one. I absolutely dont like those 2 zooming buttons floating all over the content which only appear once I start scrolling.

Sorry not to get ot, but we took care of the stock browser a long time ago, check it out: WWW.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551119
To the op, this does look like it might be pretty nice, how ever always been happy with the modded stock, or a hero browser. Any idea on what phone is gonna have this as oem firest?
Opera 10 for android looks amazing. if you watch the video preview of it. Right now the best browser for android is the Dolphin Browser though. .. ooh and windows mobile people.. Skyfire is the only way to go.
Which video are you referring to?
Maybe I am not really getting it but what advantage does Opera Mobile have over the Android browser? I loved Opera on my WM device and I can understand using it based on preference. However, with the Android browser working the way it does, isn't it a bit redundant? Or again maybe I am not getting it?

The browser has better support for CSS/HTML/JavaScript...
You can see the differences between the browsers on:
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/css.html
and
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html
Please note that the Nokia E66 browser matches the new Opera 10 beta the most. The other version is 9.5 which is already a year old. I'm really waiting for a Opera 10 release on android, since the android browser has some shortcomings when you want to create mobile websites (I shall spare you the details).
I guess I will have to try it out when it comes outs to see the differences. It's to bad they don't add the proxy features of Opera Mini on Mobile.
is it out yet?! :[

its the speed!!! look do this
go to the market and download the current opera mini 4.2
once installed get a timer or something and go to any website(including this one if you want, just make sure you go to exactly the same page)
time it
now go to the same page with the android browser.
you should see a HUGE speed difference. im not exactly sure how opera does this, but i heard once it has something to do with a compression method that opera uses that makes pages load very quickly!
all in all, i have no idea how opera does it, i just know that its FAST. and definitely faster than the android browser. i really dont care that its opera i just care abuot that speeeeeed!
Yes, I agree about Opera Mini, but I am referring to Opera Mobile.

well supposedly also opera mini is made for any mobile phone? i think. but opera mobile is made spcifically for more advanced smartphones. like you cant use opera mobile on some cheapy flip phone. but you probably could use opera mini on it. i THINK. im probably wrong or idk i dont really care i just want a better browser than the slow android one. either that or the faster 3g from tmobile.. but i think even then the browser would still be slow..
Having tried alot of different browsers through the span of my cell phones I believe Opera Mini is the fastest but it may have to do with the mobile view of the websites.
Dolphin is also very good.. I like that its theme able and its relatively fast.
I'm also anxious in the official release of Opera Mobile 10... it will have other features and will be most likely fix the problem of opera mini loading pages as mobile and not full version as in a desktop or laptop would display.
Hi, what is the best app (performance and compatibility) for browsing the internet "on the TG01"?

Well I've tested a few and it's gotta be Opera 10. It does everything flash wise (well as far as flash goes on phones), but the thing which annoys me is the way you can't get word suggestions on it so it kinda sucks in that way so it's not the perfect app for me, but the only one that does everything else.
Skyfire is good, but can't seem to get reliable flash support in my opinion.
Btw, does your question include the running of java applets?
Are you sure about word suggestions? I had the same problem with my first Opera 10 browser, because I had to use their keyboard ... but I installed the newest version, and now I was able to use my own keyboards ... running WM6.1

I'm positive. If I use IE, everything is fine, I can get word prediction suggestions and also can press enter instead of having to click search eg.
in google, but in opera 10, nothing, no word prediction suggestions and no hotkey support like enter. Any (word) suggestions? Would really appreciate it as I love Opera and I use it as my primary browser. Because of this problem, I'm thinking of changing to another browser such as skyfire, but would prefer opera though.

I use HTC Build Opera Mobile 9.7
Very battery friendly, uses less RAM. And imho faster than Opera 10.
It integrates with other HTC apps, i.e - youtube,
for EDGE, use Opera Mini
I have the Net Front Browser 2009 from a Japanese T-01A if you want it.
No .cab, just copy the files to your Windows folder.
No flash but it's extremely fast, good quality and very easy on the battery.
All menus display in English if on an English rom.

I'm new to Andriod and now have a Desire S.
I'd like to get peoples feel on what is the best browser on this phone and why.
The stock browser, Opera or opera mini?
I've always used Opera on WM before.
You can try either Skyfire or Dolphin HD. These can be downloaded from the Market.
On Desire S its the stock browser.
So fast and light.
opera mini work fine with https sites

Dolphin is a piece of spyware. Google it.

Stock browser is good. But if you are watching your bandwidth try Opera Mobile or Mini.
Edit : oh man, this is an old thread.
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Depends on network speed and coverage. Good speed - use the stock browser. Fast and light. Bad speeds - use Opera Mini. With its data compression named Opera Turbo even on 2G sites load very fast. But there is no flash and its not based on webkit so esp. mobile sites look different (e.g. Facebook) than with stock and other webkit based browsers.

opera mobile...but dolphin HD is good too!!
Stock browser...its perfect..if u use mini the pages are soo malnourished.....

Huh, I'd never actually used the stock browser before, I've had Dolphin since I got my phone. After reading this thread I tried it out, and it's so much better!
I use opera only for open a https sites the original browser can't open it (exchange for example)

Opera aint too bad really. Its fairly fast.
Firefox has some nice features, but its dog slow.
I do tend to just end up using the stock browser.
Opera here, I find it much faster than dolphin

In my opinion the best browser is Opera Mobile. In case you do not have any FUP limits and internet is fast.
If you have FUP limitations or/and slow internet connections, better is Opera Mini.
I personally like maxthon browser for usability ,ninesky browser for general use because its webkit based so its pretty reliable, and xscope for shere speed
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
maxthon browser is the fastest i've tried so far
and you have a lot of options
This is all going to be about personal choice, however, i've tried,
Dolphin HD
Opera
Firefox
Maxthon
and a few no names
However, the best, once you get used to it is the stock for me. Easy less polluted with skins and themes. You just need a browser to act as a Webview not to take up valuable screen space, and for me the stock one does the job well.
my two cents
Opera Mobile for me - I find the option to change user agent between desktop and mobile very useful...
Miren browser is the only browser for me.
I tried switching to other browsers because it's development has stopped, but none could match it for me.
It's fast, customizable and highly functional.
Prior to ICS I was always using Opera Mobile. It's a very fast and comfortable browser. I also tried out Dolphin HD which is in fact a good browser but I stayed with Opera
Now on ICS I prefer Android's stock browser as it's fast and quite stable. After mdj fixed the egl bug (in his early ICS versions) Opera simply became unnecessary.
What is in your opinion, or a proven fact, the fastest browser for an android phone?
Also JW in anyone knows, how do I switch between 3g and 4g with my HTC snesation, i cannot find the setting
There is no switch. You're getting really fast 3g that T-mobile labels as 4g.
Probably Opera Mobile... Although, the stock MIUI, and CM Browser have been VERY fast for me...
I think Opera browser is the fastest one on the Android phones
Agree Opera Mobile FTW

I do believe that mozilla firefox is out. may be onofficial but if you used to their inteface that may be of interest
+1 to Opera. And you can always swich Opera Turbo ON on slow network connections or to save data transfer.
As far as I see Opera Mobile (not mini) is the fastest browser on my GT-i5500 with CM7.1
opera mobile indeed i also think netfront life browser
i use the xscope..THIS is simple ans fast..
