So, it seems to be on most of the tech websites so I thought I'd give it a try, downloaded the apk, installed...44MB !!!
So after moving a few other apps to SD to make space I gave it a whirl, my thoughts so far:
- Slow/jerky to scroll
- Pinch to zoom very flaky
- Text when first rendering a page is barely readable, no other browser does this?
- Sync for desktop is flaky. You click bookmarks>Desktop bookmarks>I then get 3 blank folders, one looks to be the ones you havent put in a folder, one is empty, the other is my proper bookmarks.
- Pressing menu gives some info on the domain, not settings or a further menu like every single other app in existence does. You have to slide left then click the tiny icon for that.
When logging into sites I frequent I do like how sync gives me username options & populates the fields. The problem is that this is just a feature, it could probably be incorporated into other browsers.
Overall I think it pretty much sucks, I've been using Dolphin HD which (apart from the problem with clicking links that are at the top of a page ie Giz/Lifehacker/erc) I'm happy with, pretty speedy & customisable.
So has anyone else got opinions on Fennec?
