GREAT Web Browsing news: Opera Mobile 8.65b, Minimo 0.2 and first Deepfish beta out!

[srmz]

I have installed the Beta 4 today but I am having a major problem.

The browser closes by itself after I have browses two or three sites or if the browser does not close it freezes the device.

I have installed on a I-Mate Jasjam running WM5. Anyone else with this problem.

Best Regards

So, if the Opera mini supports showing the full webpage and then zooming in, why even deal with Deepfish? The thing that really bothers me about Deepfish is that from what I understand, you go to a website, it is actually proxied through a Microsoft site that takes a snapshot and sends that to your phone.

I would guess that it is probably a bit faster than something like Opera Mini, but I *really* don't like the fact that all of my web connections are being proxied thru M$ and that thy basically have access to my entire browsing history, etc. It also means that entering in UIDs & Passwds go through them, which also bothers me...

Uh? What are you talking about? You do KNOW that OPERA proxies every site you visit with Opera Mini too, right?

So as far as technically being able to keep a record of everywhere you visit is as easily done as Microsoft's service.

Where do you get this info that Opera proxies every site? I have sniffed the packets Opera sends and it contacts the actual site not an Opera proxy.

No, it doesn't. It fully uses a proxied connection; otherwise, it couldn't be able to GREATLY reduce the bandwidth usage.

I got the info from not only the Opera website, Opera Mini review and also the Service agreement that you have to go through before you even hit the Opera homepage.

Notice that I said Opera Mini, right?

Yes, she may be referring to Opera Mobile, not Mini.
