What web browsers do people use? Ive been using opera mobile but it is annoying how when you scroll down on the page it scrolls from link to link. Is there anything in which you can move around the page freely? or am i using opera wrong?
thanks
I personally wouldn't mind a browser such as the safari browser.

Yes, just drag the page around with the stylus rather than using the d-pad.
Try Netfront. I have installed it yesterday and happy with it.
I love Opera Mini - by far the best IMO.
I want skyfire, but I have yet to get my beta invite.
Well Opera mini for me is so far the fastest browser. I try netfront 3.5 and I must say that I like the zoom feature really much but a bit slow.
I've been using NetFront for about a month and it's been meeting my needs. I agree that it's a bit slow at times (zoom activities and loading), but my guess this is due to debug code rather than a core rendering issue.
I'd like to see another drop from NetFront, so if you have problems please provide feedback on the NetFront website.
opera mini got my vote. I love how speedy it is. By far the best.
I have opera mobile not mini and i think is a great browser the download manager is great not like the IE that sometime damage the files when downloading . . .
Iam using Opera 9.5 beta love it!!
And waiting for skyfire..

I tried that but I had the following problems:
1
Sometimes the results are so massive you get lost
2
You are often left flat with no results at all
3
As a middle aged man you can have problems with the Campus Police.

Haha. Reminds me of vijay's naked chicks post. (Which I loved so much I've added it to my sig)

did you change the original link to collegeboobs or is that a glitch in vB?

Ok, I did but im using Opera mini, so i have no status bar. Thats my excuse, and Im sticking to it.
hey when i go to the opera mini site to download it doesnt show the kaiser as an option... how/where did you guys get it?
Here's the one I use. Not sure which one I downloaded from the site, it is a bit of mess.
Thanks

Opera Mobile Problem
I've searched around and haven't found anything relevant to this. When i last flashed to a rom and went to install my Opera mobile cab i had not problems but i cannot access a secure website with it now. Maybe I'm just stupid and have a setting wrong but i haven't be able to find it. Any help (including redirection) would be appreciated.
I tried installing opera mini and it doesn't appear on installed programs, neither it appears on file explorer...

Open the Java application in "Applications" it should be listed there. Then use the search function or hit up google to find out how to make shortcuts.

opera mini is better!
the browser does look ok but opera IMO is smooth.

i agree, i'd prefer to donate once it's been tried
it doesn't even allow you to use a trial version first. If its that good i doubt it'll go for only 14 dollars.
Yeah, well, I bit the bullet and bought this. At least on my Tytn II with original HTC ROM, this software is a dog. Runs way too slow to even be remotely usable. I sent an email to them asking for a fix, or a refund.
have Opera Mobile 9.5 ;D it runs great and is the same like these ****
I dl'd Opera 8.65 and it runs the same as this program...is there something I'm missing?
I emailed them asking about a trial version and they responded that one should be available next week.
Guys, this is merely a touch UI for PIE.
Have upload opera 9,5 (its a beta version but runs great)
http://xirror.com/spread/42241753/Opera_Mobile_9.5.cab.html
guys a rather limited demo version is available from the site, they have also added a note to say that touchflo may slow down the operation of the browswer anyone have a cab to enable/disable touchflo easily ive tried searching the forums but to no avail
If you want a _really_ good browser, I suggest you to try Netfront.
It's the best browser for Windows Mobile.

Opera Mini is really bad... Opera Mobile was pretty good (on Windows Mobile atleast).

I have to disagree. I found using ie explorer on my mda vario and even other windows mobile devices painfully slow. Once i tried opera mini i never went back. Web browsing on my mda vario with opera mini is still faster than the g1 with googles browser.
Dont get me wrong i love googles browser and the browsing is no where near as slow as what my vario was. But when opera mini comes out, if it works ill be using it.
The only downside to using opera mini i found was somewhat buggy downloads on occasions and not being able to copy links. Also on forums where you click images to enlarge didnt work.
Opera mini might even save you on battery since it reduces how much you have to download.
Its in the market now, opera 4.2 beta! Still it isnt as good as 3g internet of g1.
Stock browser much better
why even release something that isn't as good as the browser that comes with the phone?
I had a samsung instinct (sprint) and the stock browser was so bad (along with every other feature of the phone, except voice searching... still waiting google!!!) that this opera mini would have made the instinct feel like you've switched from a 56k modem to cable.
for the G1 on the other hand, this app is about as useful as 2 @$$holes (I guess 2 would be very useful if you were a porn star ). Still no imbedded flash and slower than stock, what was the point opera? Embarresment? Is the full version going to be that much better? I mean compared to beta, can't be much worst.
I'm sure the newer pda/smartphone/ppc users will revel in a commercial company converting a dumbphone program for the G1 (which shouldn't be dumbphone program compatible!!), but if you've been around the block with these gadgets (I've been around since original tungstens) then you'll understand why I am ranting about the flood of useless apps.
i couldnt agree more santos alot of the market apps are pointless makes g1 and android which is so great look bad
opera mini is aimed at people with limited download allowance, or who dont have 3g. i wouldnt use it because 3g in my area is great and i have a 10gb allowance. so might as well use it.
i think the browser speed of the G1 is phenominal, its just a shame its not as smooth as on my iphone 3g - certainly i find it a lot less convenient for quickly googling things. im hoping the Cupcake update will see me move away from the iPhone entirely but i feel im drifting off topic a little here...
anyway - for those that need it Opera Mini is the app they dream of; for those that dont it is a pointless application.
And to those who install it to save their batteries, well maybe you should think about whether this device is really for you.

You said it all in one question. I agree.
Well so Opera sucks really bad most websites i go to the fonts too damn small to see is there a fix for this or another browser i can download?
Wow Scott,
Welcome to the forum. What a pleasant post from such a new member.
Well let's see... perhaps you would prefer the new IE in 6.5. You could give that a try. There is Skyfire. Several seem to like that. Oh, you might also try to do a search. Amoung the issues you are searching for, you might also notice, perhaps, a slightly elevated degree of decorum as measured against your intial entries.
Happy hunting.
Doug M.
sorry for the abrupt post most of the forums i go to for whatever are to the point, and can be mean to the newbs... i will search but i may need to take the phone into the store because the internets not working like i should even with full bars.

You could try Iris Browser....and most builds of opera have a zoom feature so the font wont be as small...
NOOB??

it's the other way around for me, IE8 is getting to my nerves.
what is your Opera version anyway? I believe you can use 'one column' view to eliminate too small fonts.
wondering when will Google/Mozilla make their browser avails for mobile devices.

When I zoom in I lose word-wrap so there is a lot of horizontal scrolling to be done which is a pain so I would rather see the font larger than to zoom.
I get really fed up with it sometimes.

Try updating to a different Opera Mobile build, when I zoom in on mine it word wraps correctly.
another to say update your opera the newest work fine just remember to zoom in. my text wrap is fine
also if you want to use iphone sites use iris browser and skyfire for full flash videos and such
and whomever asked about a mozilla browser there is actually an alpha build its called fenec but supposedly isnt up to par yet but its being worked on
anyone else tried the new fennec mobile browser from mozilla? Just gave it a shot today. still an alpha release, i believe. could turn out to be a decent browser, but still a little jerky gui, but it seems to navigate to new sites quick enough.
Here is the post with the cab.

WTF. I love Firefox on my desktops, but I doubt I'm ever going to use it Mobile.
I tried it the other day, I think it sucks.
I do uses FF on my PC though.

Has anyone tried this yet? Been using since last night and I have to say... wow. It's what the android browser should've been. Opera 10 was smooth, but this is even better with flash support now. Runs buttery smooth (iPhone like... smoother than any other android browser) even when I'm underclocked to 800mhz =)
Yes, better than the laggy stock browser, more smooth and support flash, for me the better mobile browser with safari.
you know yes....! Opera - need to be original browser in Nexus S
I'm liking it a lot more.
Tried it and uninstalled within half an hour, word-breaking for Thai characters looks terrible. Super lag compared to Dolphin Mini & stock browser...
I dont seem to get any reactions to anything I touch on webpages:S?
Wait reboot and fix permissions sorted it...BEST BROWSER TO DATE! I use the psx scene site as a benchmark which one dolphin and stock lags like a *****! On opera its perfect..very very smooth!

I have to agree. Opera 11 is awesome. (click for browser shootout)
dude is fantastic! !!!!
Thanks for this! I was wondering how to get the full engadget site to show. =)

I've just tried the V11 and ... WOW :O
Absolutely perfect, lighteningly fast, no checkerboards at all, no lag, etc... The fastest browser I've ever seen.
The best mobile browser ever!!
Thanks to Opera team for this fantastic work on Android.

that's true!!!! I hope Cyanogen gonna change original stock laggy browser, for beautiful and performance Opera 11.
I love this browser as well, but some of the pages don't look like they should. Like m.db.no and mobil.aftenposten.no. (these pages are in Norwegian, but you'll see what I'm talking about). Any tips? I would like the mobile version, not the desktop one.
Edit: the m.db.no seems to be working as it should now, but what I wrote still holds true for mobil.aftenposten.no.

It's the old-mobile version of Google. You have to change your user-agent to default Android browser or iPhone browser etc. to see proper mobile version of Google.
what should I put for the user agent in the opera:config to get the android user agent?

Ya that is quite nice. I've used previous versions and none of them were quite perfect but this might just do the trick. Its quite a nice piece of kit, if I'm honest. I use Bank of America and can't use their mobile site in my area or even load their full site on the standard browser for reasons unknown to God himself but this using the spoofing lets me do just that which makes it completely worth its weight in Gold.
The lack of a user-agent preference in the settings area is a big downside. The browser's fast, but that's a setting that should be easily accessible. Going to the config page address and what-not is a pain in the ass.
