Does deepfish use the Microsoft-servers to generate a website that can be viewed with Deepfish? If you take a look at this screenshot you see that another ip than mine (84.*.*.*) has accessed the www.myip.nl-website...

If we look up the ip-address we see that the ip is from a range that is owned by Microsoft: http://whois.domaintools.com/207.46.220.83

Do they really tunnel all traffic via their servers in order to create good working websites for DeepFish?? :confused:

Grtz, Bortk ;)

yes!
deepfish does not render the pages on your device.
it is similar to opera mini's proxy server, which renders the pages before sending it to your device.
the advantage is, that this allows devices with poor cpu performance a fast web browsing.
deepfish's alpha isn't fast at all, but with further development it should become much faster! it looks like that deepfish just downloads an image from the deepfish server and displays it with clickable hyperlinks. that shouldn't be much hard work for any cpu.

for example on my xda neo device 50% of page loading times is to download the data via gprs and the other 50% the device renders the page when using opera mobile.
that means that 3G or 3,5G can not speed up the browsing speed for 100% on such a device.
but opera mini or a finished deepfish could do that.

Okay, thats a great explaination! It's indeed a good solution for mobile devices to browse the web. It 'll only cost much server bandwidth / cpu resources for the proxyserver that's being used... :cool:

Thnx for your reply! ;)
