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.
What’s fishy about add-ons?
Oh, I just mean the promise that they’ll work. The report is that they’ll require some tweaking, but I think it’s unrealistic to expect (or say) that all add-on functionality will be present in the mobile thing. Of course, they said no such thing :)
Its been quite some time Mozlila announced it but still it lacks compatibility with some of the popular devices
This is an alpha release … not beta
I wonder how long it will be before Google releases a comic for Chrome Mobile.
I’m screwed anyhow — what the odds that this will be released for the iphone or through cydia?
Exactly 0.00%.
Opera mini for my old sony ericsson was amazing, and oddly enough a far better browser than the crash-tastic Safari for my iphone.
I think that mobile browsing will be the 2009 business. I’ve always used Opera Mobile on my HTC Diamond but with Fennec… i’ve bought a N810 for using it…and remember to join the fan club! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41742498821
