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

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:

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.
Hello,
I love my HD2 (ROM-Version 1.43.407.2 GER) but recently I have some problems with the preinstalled Opera...
1) When I surf e.g. to E!Online.com my browser opens not the original page but the German one. And it's not only the localized page but it's although the WAP page. This is especially stupid when I klick on the links in the E!Online Tweets - then again, the to be opened page is not the desired one but a localized WAP page which of course does not contain the wanted information.
2) I know Opera cannot play Youtube videos (at least not without using the FlashFix, which I have not installed so far); nevertheless there is a preinstalled separate Youtube application which works fine for me. And I know that there is Skyfire which handles Flash but has no multitouch - I installed it but like Opera more... Is there any possibility to open Youtube links or embedded Youtube videos in blogs from Opera with the external Youtube application (due to the fact that I would like to watch it fullscreen)?
Do you have any ideas how to handle one or both of my issues?
Thanks in advance!
DW!
Nobody?
To answer question 2: no it's not possible
I've searched and haven't found a good comparison between the differences between Opera Mobile and the WinMo native version of Opera Mini. I know that Opera Mobile can access websites w/o "opera turbo" whereas Opera Mini cannot i believe. Does anyone know any other differences or know where to find a good comparison?
Is there any way to change the useragent in Opera Mini so that it displays full pages insted of mobile versions ?
