Opera is way better for everything other than porn. I have both installed on my HD2 but Opera gets used for just about everything, then IE for the odd site which comes up with the mobile version on Opera.....and Skyfire around 1% of the time.

I use sky fire for flash content and to watch youtube videos without having to open up the separate application. opera for everything else and for everyday browsing. opera has ben optimized on this phone while I find sky fire still has a lot of bugs that need to be ironed out such as slow pixilated scrolling and some pages not opening at all. if speed is your main concern, sky fire is faster if the page you're looking for opens. altogether, I really have no complaints about opera on this phone besides its lack of flash capability while at times sky fire has me frustrated and resorting back to opera when its pages fail to load. I have both saved to my quick links as I find I use both very often.

Opera is faster indeed. But for me, Opera freezes alot.
I got the fixoperaflash update, so maybe thats causing the problems.
It happens alot when zoomed in and panning around sites, with some java or flash stuff on screen.
Anyone else got this problem?
