How is your opera mobile performance?

Opera mobile on the desire z is rapid, the panning is so quick and renders as it zooms for quick reading. The performance isn't as good on my friends evo 3d and I'm concerned I might not take much of a leap forward in browser experience with the note if it suffers like the evo 3d.

The browsing experience on Ics isn't that great yet and poor for opera mobile compared to GB, so I'm also looking for a phone that will perform well with ICS (I presume the note will)

Does anyone have any footage or general comparison conclusions between the different browsers on the note?

Thanks in advance.

I own a note. I have tried every browser I know of, and opera mobile is still my day to day driver. Its smoother than anything else when loading big sites like engadget (not the mobile version) and I really enjoy the way it renders fonts.

I am no expert on this, and do little browsing on my phone, but when I do, OM seems the best of all. I especially like that reflow of text to the screen. That seems to work regardless of what else may be on the screen, which is great (meaning I do not have to think).

Regarding performance, it certainly works fast enough for me, but I am not a speed junkie.

I too find OM to be the best for my needs. Primarily the pinch to zoom with auto text reflow is crucial to me and none of the others seems to have this feature. Some websites do not allow pinch to zoom whereas most do.

One issue I have with OM is when I am on a website is that it closes every time I switch from portrait to landscape. Every time!

When I launch OM again, it goes back to the webiste I was trying to view in landscape.

Is anyone else haveing this experience and is there a way to fix it?

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that is not the fox.

I hate opera and dolphin and firefox and stock. I can't wait for the ICS update and use android stock or chrome.

I used to use Miren Browser but can't find it anymore in the market.
