Review : Skyfire - my new favorite iPhone web browser


What took me so long to discover this gem?? Well, suffice to say, I was actually a bit sceptical at first to switch from the in-built Safari browser and the Opera browser. Safari was still preferred at first due to its nativity to the iPhone. It ran at blazing speed. Of course when i visit any sites that have tonnes of Flash video content (especially those that ran predominantly Flash videos), Safari just simply does not work. At least not until all website decide to adopt the HTML5 format, then we will see richer content on our iPhone Safari.

My use of Opera was because back in the good old days when I was using a Nokia phone, Opera was the best browser available compared their Nokia's pathetic browser. I use it still purely because of sentimental sentiments. Also, it is good to see some Flash (static-ized) adverts here and there on some website that makes the site looks a little more complete and not handicapped. Of course, Opera also offers a very intuitive tab system that lets you switch between pages easily (unlike Safari, which is quite cumbersome).
