I've been using opera on the htc diamond but I notice that it just keeps crashing when I try to go onto some sites like logmein. I use to be able to go on most of these sites if memory serves when I was using my vario2, but I can't remember what browser I was using.
In my experience Opera mobile is the best I ever used, and works perfect on my Uni
Opera Mini!
Opera Mini 4.2. Opera Mobile cannot hold a candle to this one - yeah the Mini is server-side cached, etc. but doesnt matter because the render fidelity is pretty good for almost 90% of the browsing experience.
SUPER FAST !!! SPEED SPEED SPEED!
Another vote for opera mini here. I do 99% of my mobile browsing on it. It may be a bit limited feature-wise, but for simple navigation and viewing there is nothing faster.
Check out Shiranmotha's all-in-one cab installer.
For me Opera Mini is the best browser for ppc.
skyfire is pretty decent
I actually use both Opera and Skyfire. Opera still has some bugs on some websites. But i mostly use Opera because of how fast it is Skyfire takes too long to load a website.
Just installed opera mini but is it just me or does it allow you to zoom in when using the htc diamond circle button?

Is there a way to put a real web browser on the sda?
If not ,what phone will?
Is firefox mobile good?
The closest thing I've seen to a real web browser on a Microsoft phone is the Picsel browser for the touchscreen phones.
It can't hold a candle to iPhone's Safari, so I've been told.
Opera mini can show pages like that. The only problem is that some scripts are disabled. Other than that pages look more or less the same as they would look on desktop. It also reduces the amount of loading time.
Other browser was Microsoft Deepfish, but there is not much news about that one.
sda?
Will any of these browsers work on sda?
Just interested in streaming the site "slacker".com
Are they safe?
2nd on Opera Mini, its great and amazingly fast. It makes mobile browsing awesome esp once you get to know the shortcuts, and esp when you like to go back and forward through your history a lot. Its soo damned fast at that. Just make sure you get Mini, not Mobile.
ohh streaming is another story...I know there are some streaming video options/flv options. I just haven't kept up with those options. I'm sure if you did a search on playing youtube, you'd come up with something.
But if you could deal w/not using Slacker.com. These two sites are formatted for mobile use and work excellently in Pocket IE.

Radiotime has real radio stations and a really cool format that allows you to change stations and genres using your joystick.
What's the best web browser for HTC touch pro? Unlocked with a customer ROM on it, but it just came with I.E. I really liked the opera mobile browser previously on the phone, but I wanted some input. If opera is the best, where is the best/newest/fastest version of opera mobile avaliable?
on experience Opera mobile 9.5 or 9.7 is the best browser
check the official thread here:

opera mini is my favorate...
The new Opera Mini 5 beta looks pretty awesome.
Definately Opera Mini 5. For sites that use AJAX and other script-heavy technologies, Opera Mobile 9.5 (or 9.7, test it first on the device as its buggy).
In my experience, best is Opera 9.5 as provided with a lot of current (cooked) ROM's. Fastest is Opera 9.7 with Turbo enabled. This is being shipped with some of the newest ROMs (Tom Rhodium Manila 2.5 Build 23016 v1.0 for example).
Of course is Opera Mini. It's the most popular mobile phone web browser in the world. I use it on my diamond 2. It's awesome! And it's my favorite.
With Flash support IExplorer
Without Flash support Opera (mini v5 beta/mobile 9.7 beta), iris Browser v1.19 (but I don't know if it's free too)
Skyfire is only QVGA and NetFront is outclassed by previous browsers

Opera Mobile if you use a lot of Touch Screen and turn off the G-Sensor stuff that automatically orients screen (which seems to do it at the least random movement sometimes).
I personally prefer Opera Mini only because it's more kb shortcut friendly (as opposed to touch my screen I like using the kb for quick favorites and other functions)
UCWEB is best for me, faster than Opera... Skyfire if you want to browse YouTube.
Hi to all
I bought HTC HD2 two days ago and i don.t know why i Can not watch movies from youtube using the opera.???Is that possible.?
use the youtube application in start/youtube
opera 9.7 does not support flash the way it should but they say opera 10 will
If you want a browser with full flash support (YouTube and everything), get Skyfire.
It's not better than Opera overall, but it's nice to have different options that cater to different needs.
in hd opera when a you tube link was clicked you tube application used to get autolaunch ...
but this never happens in opera of hd2 ..........
but in internet explorer you tube link open in you tube application ............
so any work around for opera of hd2 to launch you tube application when you tube link is clicked ..
Youtube works in Opera and it is fully functional (plays in the broser, with full screen and zoom function), you just need to activate it with a patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Also allows to play videos from other Flash-enabled web sites.
I don't recommend Skyfire unless you are in the US.
Skyfire uses servers to give you the content and they are often slow, from the wrong country (DRM issues) or just not available.
You can test skyfire, but for me it didn't do the trick.
Can some one tell me what is the best internet browser with pinch touch, or should I just keep opera and get a tweek?

Best browsers, but both without pinch to zoom: Opera Mobile 10 (stable, smooth, reasonably fast) and Opera Mini 5 Native WM (some bugs, smooth, incredibly fast).
You can add pinch to zoom for both apps with BSB Tweaks, but not natively. It will not actually zoom the webpage, but rather the whole application!
Ok mate thanks for that.
keep the one you already have..
Yeah I am going to.
i like skyfire!
Opera is the best IMo...but Skyfire good for certain flash video websites
anyone probably noticed that android isn't really smooth in browsing unlike the iphone or the wp7...
and there is a simple reason for that! it is the rendering technique of the page.
iphone/wp7(and some new android phones like the sgs2) simply view the internet as a photo and when you zoom or scroll it is not a problem for the device to maintain 60 fps, 1 render(unless you zoom) and then you have no problem moving it.
However, android(stock browsers by google or others found in the play market) uses a different technique they actually show you the web as it is! means it shows you the vectoric form of stuff instead of rasterizing it into a big bitmap.
hence android is CONSTANTLY rendering the web when you move it so it is very hard for a simple device to load and maintain a nice and steady 60 fps(or even 20).
solution: hey why dont we make android do the same?
oh yes you can do that! and even better than the iphone does(the iphone will freeze for 1-5 seconds if you zoom in and out rapidly on heavy sites like yt and other desktop pages android don't) Opera mini does that
and perfectly good!
so every device running android can be smooth as well by using opera mini (next)
(not mobile... mini... mobile uses vectoric graphics too)
pros: ultra smooth! and you still have this fast android scrolling!
cons: no flash(par wth iphone). and sites load as mobile by default and might be shown wrong due to sever compression...
you having a big and powerfull device? you dont have to do this... just get boat browser and you will enjoy fast and vectoric browsing... without the cons of raterized browsing.
boat is the complete browsing experience imo...
btw in boat you can pan and zoom togather with 2 fingers(unlike opera and other browsers)
HAVE FUN!
The server-side website compression of opera mini makes the pages look terrible.. but maybe that's just me.

nope.. thats totally true.
opera makes your browsing experience worst.
Try Opera Mobile.
It doesn't need server side compression yet it is as smooth.
nope

didnt encounter much of problems... only in some rare ocassions(full yt and sites that have moving bars as the yt bar of playlists)
otherwise opera mini does the same as ios safari.
but scrolls android fast one fling for a page not a fling for 0.1 page.
btw in opera mobile you can disable that... in mini not...
also i gave you the boat browser alternative in case you dont have a super slow device...
i wish they could just make opera mobile or even boat browser with the mini's rendering engine!
no it's not...

its not smooth at all and wow i just loooove black blank screen on my device!
or that it doesnt work on ics or that the last update ruined it(wanted to dl it again and see if its smooth... apparantly it ruines the web surfing completely!)
all i see is white screen with opera mobile and than black screen with status bar...(used to work fine but not as smooth as the mini... not same gpu accelerated rendering methods)
