Final v. of Opera Mini 4.1 out & Tietokone publishes desktop browser speed comparison
The final version of Opera Mini 4.1, one of the best Web browsers available, has just been released; see THIS for more info. I’ll post a detailed multiplatform review in some days, after having used it for some time on all my three mobile operating systems.
Finnish computer mag Tietokone has just published a summary of their desktop browser speed test published in their (offline) papermag. Currently, I only have access to the online summary (while I'm a paying subscriber to their mag, it hasn't arrived yet). I'll let you know when there's anything else of interest in the article as soon as I receive the offline version - it's promised to be pblished tomorrow (which means subscribers living in abroad receive it shoon thereafter).
They state the current desktop Opera 9.5 b2 is considerably faster than both Internet Explorer 8 b2 and Mozilla Firefox 2. It's only Apple's Safari and Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 5 that turned out to be faster. It has also turned out to be faster with both normal- and Flash-based contents.
I've always preferred using Opera to IE on my 15" UXGA (1600*1200) Thinkpad because, even as of IE8b2, Opera 9.5 has far better zoom-in capabilities (which is essential on an UXGA or WUXGA 15" notebook), particularly when zooming into forum pages; not to mention its standards compliance (see my latest reports HERE).

Whats the best browser for ppc

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?

titanium plugin for opera mobile 9.7

can somebody create the above mentioned? opera 9.7 is way better than the new IE.

opera and zoom

Hi,
I have the following problem. If I thouch the screen softly and preform semicircles opera zooms out and in.
Does someone have this problem too?
Because it's really annoying if I want to scroll, opera zooms out...

I heard that Opera supports "gestures" but I thought that was only for the Desktop and Wii releases of Opera... they may have ported it over to mobile.
though I can't seem to replicate this problem :S

Opera 9.7 support Zoombar. Any ideas with Opera10 and Opera Mini5?

differences between opera mobile and opera mini (WM native version)

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?
