    Posted on January 23rd, 2010 anphase 7 comments

    Tested on the Sam­sung i8910 Omnia HD


    Major high­lights

    Opera Mobile:

    1. More fluid browsing
    2. Bet­ter User Inter­face and elements
    3. Tabbed brows­ing

    Sky­fire

    1. Bet­ter home screen with social media integration
    2. Faster browser load times
    3. Sup­port for flash/ajax scripting/javascript

    …and both of them are free, You can down­load the browsers at these links:

    Down­load Opera 10 Beta 2 here

    Down­load Sky­fire 1.5 Beta here or by direct­ing your mobile browser to http://m.skyfire.com

      I agree, the Opera expe­ri­ence is way bet­ter, I have to rely on apps like the Youtube app to watch videos. Sky­fire still has a long way to go I think, but it’s get­ting there.

      Have you used the Turbo mode while load­ing pages using Opera Mobile? Coz as far as i know Sky­fire com­presses the pages before send­ing them to the mobile, whereas Opera loads the full page on the mobile with­out com­pres­sion. How­ever, server side com­pres­sion can be done on opera mobile using the Turbo mode, which would speed up load times on Opera Mobile. A more proper speed com­par­i­sion would be between Opera Mini and Sky­fire, coz they are sim­i­lar .
      Great video by the way :) .
