Zaurus Web Browsers

[boggsml]

What are some of the web browsers that people are having success with on their Zaurus.

I know that NetFront comes with the C860 and I\'ve seen some references to Opera.  I wonder if anyone has tried Mozilla, etc?

I have opera, netfront and konq installed under sash rom 1.65 (or 1.70).
I notice that opera seems to mangle the names of ipks so they don\'t
load right (if you tap-hold-save) ... netfront loads\'m right to the installer,
if you don\'t save first.

I prefer fullscreen in opera most of the time.

I have Opera on the Sharp 1.0 ROM for the SL-5600 and love it.  In my opinion it is the best browser on any handheld platform.  

I haven\'t had the ipk problem.  I just click an ipk link (not tap and hold) and then I am presented with a dialog for what to do with the file.

I\'m running Opera on my 5500 (with tkcROM v1), and generally I like it. It\'s reasonably fast, and the multiple windows feature is handy.

The download feature is less impressive for me personally, as you don\'t seem to get much choice over where exactly you want to save files. I normally choose \"Copy link location\" from the tap-and-hold menu, open the terminal, change to the desired directory and enter \"wget [URL]\". Long-winded, perhaps, but it works better for me, and you get more information as the file is downloading.

I also really don\'t like the lack of support in this particular Opera for \'media=\"handheld\"\' when it comes to stylesheets, as this means I can\'t get the stylesheet optimised for PDAs, when I visit sites which specify them (ironically, including Opera\'s own site).

Other than that, though, Opera does the job for me, and I\'ll probably stick with it as long as there\'s not a more capable option.

I also do the wget trick... since when I save the files, the package installer says that the name has been changed.
