[Guest Piter1225]

Using it right now, fast as hell, wish to use it with lag-free eclair rom.

[Guest Seth Cold]

anyone tried in donut? i was about to downgrade...

[Guest Piter1225]

I'm using on donut, like I said - fast as hell

[Guest Quipeace]

I'm still waiting for opera mobile, but I suppose it's worth a try right <_<.

Tried it uninstalled it

For me nowhere as good as the stock browser of Dolphin. I tried a search from Opera Mini 5 for a youtube video and even though a Thumbnail was shown, wouldn't play the video, also did not njoy the browsing experience IMHO a step backwards, I'll await the full version Opera Mobile xx.

(running vanilla ROM 1.5)

The idea is it chews less data and loads pages faster.

That said it runs brilliantly on donutand is great for browsing when you havE terrible reception or 2g

[Guest kylenk]

There appears to be no integrated way to close the app? Anyone got a solution side from killing it externally

[Guest AcerDroid]

It is hella fast! loads pages faster than on my desktop using google chrome. Thier compression is great!

You can use Home++, a great home rrplacement and the task manager/killer is integrated there so no more external or additional apps needed to kill a program.

[Guest kylenk]

Not really a fan of home ++.seemed a little buggy. Im running Advanced launcher from xda forums on stock aus rom. Couldnt run better. Guess il use a third party task manager to kill it til they fix this

[Guest Mythrix]

It works quite fast!

But I'm using Dolphin on 1.6 with the multitouch kernel, which really makes zooming a lot handier.

Well I guess doubletapping for zoom might work too... will definitely test it out a bit more and see if I might want to use it as the main browser. I also recently switched back to Opera as main browser on the PC, so I could use Opera link for bookmarks and stuff. <_<

[Guest m4ss]

perfect... smoother... but how can i close ?!!! If I close with "back" hardware key it won't close... :-(

[Guest bais]

When you tap on settings (the tool icon) isn't there an Exit button?

I've installed it. It has a really nice feel to it. I'm liking it. Adding multi-touch would make it perfect.....but lack of it isn't a show stopper. I'm not a pinch/squeeze fan anyway.

Press the Home button. It will die a natural death when a later task needs the memory and the system kills old ones. Or use a task killer to kill it if you're in a hurry. But Android doesn't really need a task killer. The system kills old apps as new ones require memory. Where people run into trouble is allowing too many apps to start themselves up in the background for updates / notifications. Keep a lid on those via their settings and you almost never need a task killer.

If you want to clear History, then touch the History button and Clear All. Then press Home.
