What a load of rhubarb
Well, unlike the authors, I have been using Opera 10 on Android for over a month now. So , what is with the strapline "Opera Mobile for Android: Nearly there!", or is there some airbrushing of history going on that I was not informed about and we have jumped straight from Opera nothing to version 11.
SkyFire: breaks end to end SSL encryption. Not that you can reasily find it in the T&C on their site without looking a little.
Opera: again, breaks end to end SSL. Easiest to use (expect Firefox), fast and stable.
Chrome: I have no idea what it does with SSL.
Dolphin HD: Fien to use, but rather clunky.
The problem I have with the majority of these browsers is that they often proxy the connection to their site, apply some formatting, and then spit it back, decoding the SSL connection en route. I won't use these for PayPal, Ebay, Amazon or my bank! Maybe I am asking for trouble?
I use Firefox on Android. Yes, its there. It works pretty well, and I prefer it to the above. I don't know if the content is proxied via another server, but all the sites I visit send unadulterated pages back. The UI is far better than the afore mentioned ones.
My 'droid has a 4" screen and a res of about 800x480. Its an Samsung Galaxy i9000 and can handle full web pages as well as a footballer's wife can play with his balls. It does need the pages reformatted.
