We’ve seen Fennec in an early form before, but apparently the new beta alpha is much more featured, and the promises being made for Mozilla’s mobile browser are going to really shake up the scene if they follow through.
Mobile browsing is getting better and better, although my G1’s built-in one is too slow, Opera Mini is a little weird, and Safari is too limited. Firefox aims to hit all three where it hurts, being fast, easy to control, and open to expansion. Add-ons for Firefox are supposed to work for Fennec eventually, which sounds fishy but would be totally awesome.
Mozilla is looking at a major release for as many mobile platforms as possible, including things like e-book readers. How sweet would it be to have a full-featured web browser on a Kindle or eReader-type device? Hopefully that’ll happen sometime in the next 6 months.
any word on the mobile firefox being available for palm OS so long as we have the javaVM crack installed?
Just as long as it has flash, the add ons dont make it slow, and it is fully touch capable.
Skyfire is pretty awesome, even if the interface changes in the new beta are a bit fumbly. If they could just curb its horrific battery appetite, it could be a real contender.
Wow, having Mozilla add-ons (or some sort of lightweight version of them) on a mobile browser sounds too good to be true
