Firefox Only? - About xda-developers.com

Is this xda developer forum firefox only?
How cam I cannot load the images correctly if I am using chrome? (Actually IE doesn't work too, but I don't care about IE)

Works fine for me in Chrome. Try reinstalling chrome?
It might be your internet connection, or the speed of your pc.

IE7, 8, Opera & Chrome all working like a charm

Haven't had any issues using either IE, Chrome, Opera or Firefox. Currently using Firefox as IMHO is the best.
Chrome still has compatibility issues with a number of things, but works fine with XDA. Ensure that you haven't blocked images or anything else in your Chrome settings

I've viewed this forum through Chrome, FireFox, IE, Opera, and Safari on both Windows and my Mac and haven't had issues. Ironically enough if I tried to load this forum via WinMo and Opera my phone crashes. But that's WinMo for ya

Opera Mobile 10 final: XDA pages browsing perfect too

I wondered if Mozilla would ever come out with a mobile browser! I gotta check it out.
to me really ... it looks dull .... no like cool graphics,,, no 2008 and beyond look... but it has no flash ... no disrespect.. to you or mozilla but i excepted better from them but who knows .... maybe its only a beta or something
it is beta...
but come on what would you expect from an aplication on a mobile phone... what about the graphs of opera or IE are they much better...
hmm how does this differ from the older versions? because ive 'used' them and it was awful.
first time i tried it, it wouldnt even start, second time in interface was so difficult to navigate...
Is there a smartphone version of the browser, too?

I would assume that they are talking about a smartphone browser! Opera mini is a smartphone browers and we are a forum for smartphones

Yes it can be used on smartphone as well...
I just installed it twice; it is able to istall on the device, but it is not able to be used. The browser loads up and I cannot navigate with my cursor or joggr pad thorugh the browser.

I would assume you try it out first before making comments.
I have downloaded it serveral times. And the Mozilla site and FAQ hints at this being a ppc based browser.

i have tried it and is working purfect.... i wouldnt make a post with out a reason... and is very stable as well...
I have too on my dash with 6.1 and am not able to browse or use it. it loads up but i cannot navigate through the browser to select anything. hence why i bothered to ask questions
minimo "works" on Windows Mobile 5 and later devices, both pro and standard. the seemingly un-navigable interface can be operated with buttons, but I can never recall what does what and it always just starts doing weird things, after a lot of struggling.
After reinstalling it about 7 times it finally worked by using the soft buttons to navigate through. However, not stable at all to browse at least on my device.
It takes forever to load and closes when underload. Opera Mini FTW.
kept crashing.
It has promise on a ppc. It looks too much like a touch application. Opera Mobile works much better as a full web browser for the Dash at the moment and Mini for quick viewing.
seems like its causing my phone to crash because its a memory hogger by far.
Never got darn thing to load
After installing Minimo would always hang up. Pity as I love Firefox,(but I love Opera too) On puter I use Opera for all research ect in English and Firefox for Portuguese. My vote is with Opera Mini

What is the best OPERA for the Tmo Dash?

I have seen people talk about the Opera Mobile and the Opera Mini, I loasded the Opera mini I think fromthe opera web site a while back and it was really sluggish at best.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

i use opera mini for normal browsing and skyfire for flash and if i cant get a site to work on opera mini. i find opera mini real fast
For Excalibur the best option is Opera mini
But here you can find all Opera Mobile versions:

Think 8.65 was the last release of Opera Mobile for SP?
Oh the question best Opera? can't beat having both,
Opera Mini: fast as &*@&, low on data.
Opera Mobile: very similar to PIE but a hell of alot more secure, tabbed browsing
Skyfire: only real plus is flash & lets ask how often do you realy use it for flash, rendering of pages slow, screams beta all the way.
PIE: Delete the shortcut so you never accidentaly yap it
I use:
- Opera Mobile 8.65
- UCWEB probably the best server side browser out there, faster then Opera with way more options and the next build will allow flash so it makes the slow and clumsy skyfire useless.
- Opera Mini is nice but UCWEB while still in Beta works better, has more features and is simply the better choice.
- Skyfire is ok, but way to slow and buggy, its always going to be a beta product
Has anyone tried the new opera mobile 9.7. Does that work with smartphones?
But more specific the Excalibur?
Opera Mobile 9.7 doesn't work with SP, 8.65 is the last version that will work unfortunately.
I do like Opera Mobile but wish they would keep improving the version for SP, they seem to be ignoring us, even if it's just some minor improvements - like hot keys to zoom in and out instead of having to go through a menu.
On a day to day basis I use Opera mini, or if I need access to an Intranet then I use Opera mobile.
Skyfires crashed on me multiple times, opera has done be amazingly well as fasr as browsin as a normal browser and not mobile, but it is good for both. Ive been impressed while using it with social networks.
wow just tried ucweb, while it doesnt display web pages as well as opera mini, the speed is either the same or a bit faster. what impressed by the most is how little it uses ram. only 1 to 2 mb! very impressive. and tabbed windows!
gonna have to try UCWEB!

Opera Mobile 10

Anyone using Opera Mobile 10?
I've purchased HD mini for 3 days only.
But, I've problem when using Opera Mobile 10...
My device will hang when using Opera Mobile 10 for a while...
Don't know the problem come my device or Opera itself...
I dunno man... my opera 10 works fine by me but I`m using Russian version of the program.
If you install opera 10, will the sense page with the opera browser still work?
suggest to reinstall the opera
Opera 10 works fine
I suggest to reinstall this programm.
Or try to close all other programms through Task Manager before starting Opera 10.
Good luck.

Yes.
I choose... not to use Opera 10 as default browser.
hey guys...it works fine our for me pinch-to-zoom doesn't work!!! :-( any solutions????
as far as I read Opera Mobile 10 does not support multitouch yet for the HTC HD Mini.
You cannot select it in the phone browser for easy install and if you just download and install version 10 it doesn't support it. I switched back to 9.7.
Same here downgraded to 9.7, opera guys are strange in 9.7 they support pinch-zoom in ver.10 they don't...
Actually, I find it moore convinient not having pinch-zoom on opera 10. For one thing, some pages require you to pinch zoom on specified-non-clickable areas if not, zoom gets over-done in some rare ocassions. In opera 10 you can just set the tap zoom to 100% and everytime you tap a page it zooms to where you tap. When you tap the zoom out button it zooms out. Plus the interface looks nicer. Cheers.

Best Browser for X1?

I've used both IE and Opera, and it seems that IE is a lot faster (I always thought opera was supposed to be the fastest).
The browsing speed of my xperia, combined with the horrible keyboard doublepressing letters makes it a useless piece of junk to me for internet uses!
I had a better time using my X1 as a wi-fi router and reading manga on my iPod touch using its opera, it was amazingly fast (pages load within 1 second), however on the X1 itself, it would take FOREVER.
My top 3:
1. Opera
2. Skyfire
3. Internet Explorer.
Opera 10 for me. As a 'bit on the side' I also keep Picsel, it's a convenient browser and all-rounder for opening all sorts. At the time of me getting it a few years back, it was a semi-legal Samsung port that was protected better than White House. I loathe IE and never ever use it.
opera 10 is far better than IE, , much faster too... i wont mind having that IE that's faster than opera
browser
Hi there, I have experimented with many browsers, and the one browser i have found to work the best is Skyfire. I couldn't log into my banking webite due to many javascript and all sorts of funny things, and skyfire was the solution. I also use the others, as I have found that some work better than other. I don't think there is a master solution, but a question of experimenting and finding "horses for courses"... my 2 cents worth ....
Anton
There are many threads like that here. Use search little and you will see.
Also there is no clear solution to this answer. Everyone have different best browser.
For me, that is Opera 10.

I have Opera 10 on my X1 and its not bad, however I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get www.tvcatchup.com working on their phone yet ? The browser keeps telling me that it needs flash so I installed flash light for windows mobile and it still come up with the message that it needs flash..
You won't get full flash on WM. Your best bet is to wait if they release Android 2.2 for X1, but flash would still be super slow and choppy.
My vote goes for Opera Mini (the .cab, not the .jar). MUCH faster than the std. browsers

I know that one.
I am currently using Opera Mobile 9.5 but it sometimes crashes my phone when you first launch it or close the program.
So what is the best lite Internet browser for the X1?
opera 3.0 mini hand down !!!

can i get the cab that's free?? i feel opera is better!!!
i am using the one called UC browser , its very good , fast and reduces GPRS traffic , i used to install opera mini with my p1i and p990i before , and it was better than UC and much more effective with the traffic reducing , but with my X1 , the only opera mini wich can be installed is the Opera mini 5 beta , which unfortunately doesnt support Arabic symbols ....
the opera mobile browser ( not mini ) consumes GPRS data like a monster , and is not economic at all
UC Web - Wonderful browser open 10 or more tabs!
UC Web is a wonderful browser I have been using. Both on the PPC and WinMo Standard. Can open lots of tabs (have often opened about 10!) and not restricted to 3, as in Opera 10.
Has proxy based compression to reduce data usage, if needed. Unlike most, have prefered it over Opera, Opera Mini, Teashark, IE, Skyfire etc. Though for some specific uses one may want to use other browsers, UC Web has been my default browser for a long time.
Also very suitable in downloading stuff.
I'm using Opera mini beta 5. It's really thumb friendly, fast and snappy.
My favourite browser for everyday use is opera 10. It's fast, displays most sites correctly and I like it's user interface.
For all sort of flash based sites I use Skyfire but I cannot use it as my standard browser because of the lack of tabbed browsing and the chessboard issue.
My default browser is Internet Explorer since I frequently use programs that rely on the default browser and I experienced some problems when I changed the default browser to Opera.
In china we use UCweb
Opera mini 5 is the fastest one then opera mobile or IE.

Which internet browser should be used?!

Hey guys, so as far as I know, most people use the Opera browser and that the IE browser is really slow. But I also found the Skyfire browser, but I have also seen mixed reviews on that. On my PC I used Google Chrome (which I love!), anyone know if Google is going to come out with a WinMo browser? (Yeah, I know that they have their own OS but thats not the point). Thanks!

They seem about the same to me. Though I can't get opera to work when on wifi.

Yeah, It used to work great for me about a year ago on my BlackJack II, But over the last year it seems to have been getting slower and slower, and buggier to boot. I thought maybe it would work like a breeze on the tilt2 having a faster processor etc... but seem to be the same old mess. Sometimes it loads up really fast, others it times out, tells me no connection, or just forgets its loading a page. Seems to be pretty hit or miss if people still have a good experience with it.

No, they are not. They only did that for windows desktop to pull people into the google experience on the desktop so they will be more willing to switch to chromium OS. It's the same "marketing" strategy that apple uses when they force safari and quicktime on you when you install itunes. But Google plays nice and doesn't install itself behind your back.
I pretty much just use Opera 9.7. Seems to work as well as anything. If you're looking for something like Skyfire (compressed proxy based browser) Opera Mini works pretty well, standalone version linked.
Opera 9.7 for me too. I prefer the scalable zoom over the 2 fixed zoom levels of Opera 10.
Once in a while, I will use Skyfire. A few sites seem to render better on Skyfire then Opera. But its Opera most of the time for me. Opera seems to be faster, and has a better zoom control.
IE is amazingly slow on my phone.
Skyfire FTW!!!
Opera 10 is working awesomely for me
Opera Mini 5 with the embedded Java package that someone here on XDA put together.
Mini is SO MUCH faster that Opera Mobile. Not even close IMO. It also seems to render most webpages better.
Skyfire is ok, but I tried an older version which was a bit buggy, not sure if their latest releases are better.
If you want to see flash then Skyfire for sure. For other things I use Opera 10.
@ those using Opera 10: anyone successfully got the zoombar working. I thought I read somewhere about people working on this? I find 10 faster but as previously mentioned, control over zoom is needed.
I've been using SkyFire for about 6 months and I have loved it, BUT!!! the past couple days it has been total crap. They say they are fixing it on their forums... We will see... Opera it is for now.

Opera 10 only have 2 zoom levels built-in (no scalable zoom), so the zoombar isn't going to work. I don't believe a hack is possible, since there is nothing there to hack (no scalable zoom to link the zoombar with).
Thanks for all of your opinions. I might try Opera Mini out when I get back home. But ill probably just play it safe for a while, in regards to Skyfire.
opera is a nice browser but it's pretty slow in my opinion. I have yet to try opera mini so I may give it a try. So far my fav is skyfire because it's the fastest that I have ever used. I think MS should just buy skyfire and put it in their windows mobile. It may help them to sell their windows mobile phone>
anyone know if our zoom bar can work with opera mini? One of my problem with skyfire is the zoom bar not working with it.
