Hi Guys..
I have installed Fennec.. Mozilla's offering into the Win Mo browser market...
has anyone else tried it out at all? at first glance it seems quite good but unsure what pitfalls there are to using this.
Ta
i tried it, but its not finished yet. nearly nothing works and its very slow.
i'm waiting for it too, but mozilla is making verly little progress on that.
you should really try opera 10 beta 3, its the best browser for the hd2
at this time, i think!
No! Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 is the best browser! It's soooooo fast! Much faster than Opera Mobile (no matter what version)!
not tried a nightly of fennec for a while, been watching the progress of the maemo version though.
Maemeingast everyone is entitled to their opinion, personally I think mini is a pile of java poo

LOL
And why is that?
(Just interested in why some people don't like Opera Mini eventhough it's so fast and even has the same interface as Opera Mobile.)
had a look at the latest 1.1a1 nightlies, (both 1.9.2 and 1.9.3)
and it's starting pretty fast (after the first time it takes ages during setup).
Pretty responsive now with moving around etc now which i a huge improvement, but still can't get it to load a website!
its also not cleaning up properly i dont think.. for example it wont restart unless you soft reset

I'm not really struck on opera mobile 10, don't like java very much, and dislike intermediate server rendering of what I'm looking at
at least teh opera mobile has an option to turn "turbo" off
fwiw I love opera desktop. 10.50 is ace

I've been waiting for the SkyFire Beta since like early April, and tomorrow I'm getting my AT&T Raphael... If anyone has an extra beta release or doesn't like it that much, I'd greatly appreciate the donation. Thanks.
Skyfire is designed to work on QVGA devices only. Only resolutions as high as 320x320. It will not work on a full VGA phone.

Well, considering other members have posted about using it on their diamond, don't tell me it won't work. They did say the zoom function sucked because it was designed for a QVGA device, but don't say it won't work at all.
..............
I would. But I just love Skyfire too much :]
It's not all that great though. The only cool thing about it is the GUI and the flash support. Otherwise it's a pain in the ass to scroll. I'd rather scroll web pages with Opera. I only use Skyfire for Flash ;]

LOL ! I only use it for Hulu!
I thought they were going to release a Window Mobile version at the end of 2008. Hopfully they will release it soon.
I heard they were supposed to be releasing a limited beta. I was really looking forward to seeing what it was like. I kind of just forgot about it though.
FENNEC beta
I use it on Nokia n810 internet tablet. Recently updated again.
Now supports noscript extension, nothing more... and the fonts look crappy... I'm waiting for foxmarks to work, favourites and password synch would be perfect.
Opera has something similar but it's payant... grrrr
It is not bad anyway but no where as near to perfection as opera 9.5 on win mobile.
BTW the internet tablet is not that good browsing internet and touch screen can get better.
Now have touch hd 3.8 lcd.... it rocks and makes more things pleasant to do on a mobile phone
i am eager to try out fennec too. to bad i sold my n810 because i hated the browser har har. i guess i am going to have to wait longer
sorry double post. but check this out. i know someone has the skills to build it. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Bui...ructions#WM6.1_Emulator_Images_IMPORTANT_NOTE
In short, there will probably be a public version built with the Touch Pro in mind next week.

Windows Mobile
We are targeting a Milestone release for the first week of February, targeting the HTC touch pro.
We are two patches away from the meta goal of building from trunk. The tools changes have review from dougt, and are waiting for review from ted, who has promised review by the end of the week. NSPR changes are waiting for review from Nelson, who asked for and received a patch against NSPR trunk

people will love you if you can build it fast and release it. i think it is crazy that people have built it and not released it as a bin.
crap the touch pro i hope that when they release it it supports qvga devices.
yeah I want it for my xv6800.
well pm if you can get a cab. thanks in advance.

Disclaimer: have not checked it out.
oh snap thanks where did you find that? i am putting it on my ipaq emulator right now to see what we have.
well it on on the emulator when i try to launch it it does not launch.
actually it launched after quite a while but the picture was kinda distorted then it locked up.
that cabs 22 mb
yeah it is. any chance you have a vga device to test it on? or do you know of a windows mobile emulator that does vga?
edit yay it works on my tilt. too slow to be useable though.
kinda works on touch HD
I tried it this morning on my touch HD, it insyalled fine, launched fine (after quite a long time) but :
-It takes half of the screen
-It doesn't display the virtual keyboard so I can't enter an adress to test it ...
Wait and see the next version
A new version is out: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1903

Skyfire is good but opera mobile has that better edge, guess we'll have to wait till we all get it to judge it!

What do you guys think about Dolphin browser?
I personally didn't like Opera on my Android. I found most webpages didn't load properly and it was difficult to enter forms etc.
However, it did run quite a bit faster than other browsers.
I have since switched to Dolphin, though a tad slower than Opera, it seems to be quite reliable at loading webpages properly. It also has a ton of cool features.
I've not tried Skyfire.
Cheers
Guys, he wasn't talking about Opera Mini... He was talking about Opera Mobile which is a more fuller browser for our phones.
Op, you said it was just announced. Do you have a link to the article about the announcement?
Oh my bad, didn't know there was a difference
http://www.androidcentral.com/opear-mobile-available-android-you-cant-have-it-yet
It wasn't just announced. Opera announced it quite some time back. However, currently it is available on to OEMs. They haven't made it public yet due to unknown complications.
I'm testing dolphin browser right now,not bad,but can't play flash either,anybody knows a browser that can play flash?
opera mobile, lol. skyfire can do some flash video, but not real flash
xScope GL is the best browser for me, try it! It supports one finger zoom.. niiiiice ;-))

Which is the best&fast browser for android
plz tell your review
Doplhin Browser
I have tried a bunch of them and my favorite is Opera. I like the Dolphin HD browser but I hate those wing things it has. I always activate them by mistake.
opera mobile fast-cool with wifi connection...
Miren Browser...
opera is amazing for phones and still pretty good for tablets. i like dolphin but its just so buggy on my tablet, although the pad/tablet beta versions not too bad now

I've used most browsers and think dolphin is the best. Opera is buggy for with with loading flash and images sometimes, but dolphin always works.

Dolphin HD is the most best in my opinion. It's fast, easy to use, easy tab swich and nice look. Im using it with Motorola DEFY.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Opera mobile on the desire z is rapid, the panning is so quick and renders as it zooms for quick reading. The performance isn't as good on my friends evo 3d and I'm concerned I might not take much of a leap forward in browser experience with the note if it suffers like the evo 3d.
The browsing experience on Ics isn't that great yet and poor for opera mobile compared to GB, so I'm also looking for a phone that will perform well with ICS (I presume the note will)
Does anyone have any footage or general comparison conclusions between the different browsers on the note?
Thanks in advance.

I own a note. I have tried every browser I know of, and opera mobile is still my day to day driver. Its smoother than anything else when loading big sites like engadget (not the mobile version) and I really enjoy the way it renders fonts.
I'm terribly sorry to hijack the thread, but do you find as fast when enabling Opera Turbo on 3G?
I am no expert on this, and do little browsing on my phone, but when I do, OM seems the best of all. I especially like that reflow of text to the screen. That seems to work regardless of what else may be on the screen, which is great (meaning I do not have to think).
Regarding performance, it certainly works fast enough for me, but I am not a speed junkie.
I too find OM to be the best for my needs. Primarily the pinch to zoom with auto text reflow is crucial to me and none of the others seems to have this feature. Some websites do not allow pinch to zoom whereas most do.
One issue I have with OM is when I am on a website is that it closes every time I switch from portrait to landscape. Every time!
When I launch OM again, it goes back to the webiste I was trying to view in landscape.
Is anyone else haveing this experience and is there a way to fix it?
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that is not the fox.

I glued to the new dolphin beta right now!

Hi !
"New" Dolphin Beta ? Which one ?
Thanks.
I think UC browser is quite nice using it daily.

I hate opera and dolphin and firefox and stock. I can't wait for the ICS update and use android stock or chrome.
I used to use Miren Browser but can't find it anymore in the market.
I am happy using 2 of the browsers
1. SimBrowse ( My own Developed one)
2. Firefox
They keep me alive for most of the time, and I am happy using them
