Skyfire and Opera Mini are Tested to be Reliable Browsers for Android

Skyfire Android Browser

There are many browser applications that are available for the Android platform. There were six browsers with the largest user. There are Skyfire 2.0, Opera Mini, Dolphin HD, Mozilla Fennec, Android 2.2 Stock, and Android 2.1 Stock. Well, yes roughly how is the performance of the comparison between those six browsers?

There are some steps for testing those six Android browsers, with some aspects, such as, testing speed, navigation, and overall performance.  Android browser is tested by two methods. They are 'the Internet live loading pages' and the method of 'saved or cached pages'.

In the first method (live loading pages), it turns out that the winner is Skyfire 2.0 browser. This browser can open 'new' web pages, that have never been accessed before, with the fastest time of 8 seconds. However, for the second method (saved or cached pages), it is found that Opera Mini is a champion, with a record time of just 6.1 seconds to load the pages.

In addition for the Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 browser, through the first method, it is recorded that a browsers Android 2.2 is better with an average time of 11.3 seconds. Meanwhile, for the second method, the results are in contrast. It is found that 2.1 Android browser is better, although the difference time is very small.

At least that's all the test results of six popular Android browsers. The Skyfire 2.0 and Opera Mini retained the best position. Sure, the difference is only a matter of a few seconds. However, for Internet access, a second is considered to be significant difference.
