FireFox for Droid?

[Droid Junky]

Anybody been testing this??

My buddy has been trying it out since it was in alpha. It has improved a lot but it is massive. He says it was 43MB installed. Not sure what they are doing with all that data. It isn't nearly as quick as most of the others. I will try and have him let you know his thoughts himself.

Thanks. What Browser would you guys suggest?? Or should i not worry about it until after i root the phone?

Why settle for just one? I use more than one browser on my PC, and just like there, different browsers have different strengths. I've got dolphin, skyfire, and the stock browser.

My vote is for dolphin. I've tried all of them and this is the one that keeps me coming back.

Right on, thanks for the help guys. I just got my Droid today so im still doing a lot of research!!

Also, i don't mind using several as i use Chrome, FF and IE on my Lappy and Desktop but i would like to know what my options are and what ones seem to be working the best atm!

I just reread your post, that does seem a bit bloated???

The stock browser works great for me!

i installed it and found out how much space it took up.

it was slow, painful, and buggy so i took it off.

Ditto for the slowness of FireFox. The sync feature would be nice if it worked, but for me, it just kept continuously processing. I also can't believe the size of the file. I'm completely satisfied using the stock browser.

And to think i almost installed it!! I don't get why they would even attempt to release something so early...

Dolphin ftw!! Been running it all day and I lurv it!

They just released the new version of Firefox for Droid. It has a much smaller footprint now (17M, down from 43M), and is supposedly faster and with many other improvements.

It is still slow as hell. It took 7 min to load the droidforums.net website. All the others(except skyfire) did it under 2 min. This was with crappy reception just so you know. Skyfire was excluded from the test because we were too lazy to get it.
