First, if you're using a Redfly, Skyfire doesn't seem to work (maybe there's a video driver conflict because both Skyfire and Redfly display an on-screen cursor). Too bad, because that might be the best of both worlds. Second, read Skyfire's terms and conditions carefully. Because this is a proxy browser, they can monitor a lot of your browsing history.

I still go back and forth on which I like better - Skyfire or Opera Mini.

I can concur that it's a killer mobile browser! Flash support is great. As part of the beta program… I can concur that it’s a killer mobile browser! Flash support is great.
