Favorite Browser? (Opera, Native, Bolt)

[StormTrooper89]

IMO:

Opera:
Pros-
Speed
Tabbed Browsing
Speed Dial
Interface looks Nice
Cons-
Cannot select where to type or edit sometimes
It clicks if you touch something, as opposed to actually clicking it
Does not keep zooming when you click
Just hard to use in general

Native Browser (BB Browser)
Pros-
Easy to use
Use of BB button
Easy to select text
Great Bookmarking/Google search on Home Page
Easier to use in general
Cons-
Slow on some sites
Looks very boring
Bolt:
I have not used yet


I would like to know everyones favorite and why so I can decide which one I should pick and stick with.

Bolt. Try it before making a pick and stick commitment.

Why not search for the thread that already had this poll and post there.

And OM 5 beta for me, can't live without it.

I've tried earlier versions of bolt and opera, but i always come back to the native browser. it may be slower, but it works best unfortunately. :/

Tried it and it was ugly. and slower than bb browser lol, at least for my device. i might try it again but it sucked lol

Opera:
Pros-
Speed! (rendering and going forward and back)
Tabbed Browsing
Speed Dial
Interface looks Nice
Easy to use
Smooth scrolling
Great Mobile view formatting (autoscales well)
Saves Passwords
Syncs with Opera bookmarks
Has a useful download manager that works in the background


Cons-
Cannot select where to type or edit sometimes
Limited zoom capability
Scrolling is not fast
Is not detectable as a BB device
Links sometimes circular reference (not real often)
Does not animate gifs
No flash capability
Does not allow suretype in portrait for web addresses


Native Browser (BB Browser)
Pros-
Scrolls smmothly once rendered
Can zoom in and out very well
Great Bookmarking/Google search on Home Page
Easier to use in general
Animates gifs very well
Cons-
Slow, especially any full site
Looks very boring
No flash capability

Bolt:
Pros-
I have not used yet
Some flash capability built in
Works very well on full sites (ESPN Fantasy Cast)
cons-
Scrolls very clumsily
No zooming
Not the most accurate link selection (has a goofy arrow)


Bottom line, I use Opera 5 beta 2 all the time. Its very reliable for me, and it gets the job done. The rendering, and speed are the most important thing.

I agree. I hate some things about Opera, like the selection and zoom. And I don't like that when you open some links on your device it uses BB Browser. (maybe I don't know how to make it default browser ?) But it is MUCH, MUCH faster. I hate that both BB BRowser and opera both default to mobile view on a site, can't view some stuff. Frustrating. But overall, Opera gets the job done like you said.

If I have a problem I need fixed I would do that, but whats the point of a forum if you just look at previous posts for everything. And i'm interested in new opions, with updated browsers, not old opinions....

Opera Mini 5 Beta rocks. Once you get use to the interface it is much better than the native BB browser. Very fast.

My favorite is the native browser, but the Opera 5 Beta 2 is soooo much faster but harder to navigate.

Exactly how I feel. I love the interface on BB Browser, but not a fan of the speed lmfao

[joaquinx]

When will Opera come out of beta? Opera, Bolt, and native are all poor. I'm looking forward to the new native browser and hoping that it will be much better and faster

[blkbryluva]

I use the bb browser when I have wifi but if not I use Opera mini 5...

[an_icon]

[DUKDIKz]
