What browser do you guys prefer? I've tried Webviewer and I hate using Java apps on the ngage, they run toooooo ×××× slow.

I've tried opera and netfront, but to no avail they work alright.
I'm just wondering which ones you guys prefer?

My pick is Netfront, but I forgot about Avantgo as well. Not paying for Opera when I got Netfront free. Plus, I don't know about Opera, but the cache for NF can go on the card.

I've never tried Opera, but I've heard good things about that browser. Netfront is stunning!

Opera and Netfront both have their strong points.
Is it just me, or is Netfront -slightly- faster?

i have never heard of doris..is it good tutrle?

Posted by: BowLoFTurTLe

its ok but i cant compare becuase i haven't used anything else. i think its older software because it refers only to the 7650 if any

Posted by: twisted_mind

I have fond memories of Doris (not the dorky pic of the girl,but the browser itself)

Its the best n perhaps the only html browser the 36xx and older(7650?) ppl can use without running out of memory

used it all day on my 3650... now Netfront's the one !!

I find Netfront to be a bit quicker to load/render as well. Perhaps it's because it loads pictures as you scroll to them and not all at once (at least in its default setting).

On the flip side Opera can do multiple windows. I've never tried in Netfront, but never read that it could. Can it?

And since Netfront is no longer giving itself away for free (darn, I missed that too

) and you have to pay for either, Netfront is less than half the cost of Opera.

They're both excellent browsers. Haven't had any problems surfing with either of them yet. I just wish both of them would page down/up faster. Pushing down only goes like a quarter page. I'm used to my old hiptop's full page page downs. Ah well, I'll get used to it.

when i tried them, Netfront is WAY faster (welll only tried it for a month since fido got free wap

)..opera is not bad too....but its just lag sometimes

i always hated that girl.

Netfront seems to be faster than Opera. I use Opera to connect to secure sites only. Like banking, eh.

R u really THAT desperate??

Anyhow, although I have got both Opera and NetFront on my 6600, I still use the defualt builtin services browser. To me it seems faster and renders the page more nicely. The only drawback is that can't run it at full screen.
