skyfire sucks so bad i deleted it and not gave it time of day since.
they make big deal about it playing embedded video but i've seen it play the most basic video at about 5 frames a second, stick with opera mini and default browser both are much better for symbian than skyfire.
skyfire might be good if your a winmo user but its not even top 3 on S60

I'm not sure if you've used 1.5, but opera mini can't handle flash.
"Skyfire 1.5 has two advantages over other browsers: Its ability to play video within a page, and its ability to handle large Flash applications such as the homepage of Disney.com, a 50 megabyte Flash app."

Havent tried skyfire on the n900 but seems completely unecessary
Skyfire is little more than firefox running on a remote server with vnc or some other remote desktop protocol streaming audio+video or at least thats what it was last I tried on s60

don't use winmo but my opinion from using both browsers on other platforms is they are both far from perfect and there is better alternatives on the OS's i use.
when comparing though it might be good to remember one is a beta which offers desktop like browsing and other is a full release mobile mini browser what does flash badly and pre-renders everything via a proxy gathering all your data on there server

Its very similar to the built in browser, but Fennec isn't ready for prime time yet. And Skyfire sux. Going through proxies and needing a sign in at one point. I liked S60's OSS Webkit browser alot, and only the N900 browser is better, imo.
What is the official name of the browser, anyway? I'd heard MicroB became Maemo Browser. What is this called?
