Opera Mini 6 and Opera Mobile 11 now available

It's in the settings. Turn off the Navigation bar and it'll auto-hide (sometimes only when you scroll a bit).

Ahh yeah found it. Definitely replaced the default browser. Just does so many little things that are helpful.

Opera 11 is pretty nice. I really appreciate pinch-zoom.

Honestly though, I have become hooked on Firefox Mobile's interface. But Opera just replaced Dolphin as my "I need to look at some random Flash site" browser.

Opera Mobile has always had pinch to zoom, that's only new for Opera Mini 6.

The more I fiddle with Firefox the more I think it still needs some work. The interface is definitely slick, but the whole package is just so slow. They've got the money and knowhow to turn it into something great, I just don't think it's there yet.

Good to know. I couldn't try any previous Opera Mobile on my Nook Color as it would crash.

Yeah, its not there yet. It loads web pages quick and it has smooth scrolling, but it lacks Flash and it eats RAM like no tomorrow.

With that said, the slide left look at your tabs, slide right back and forward buttons absolutely ROCK on a widescreen tablet. It makes every other tab implementation on every other mobile browser pale in comparison.

And in Firefox syncing and Firefox extensions (some needed day 1) and there is a lot of potential.

I actually like it alot. I think I prefer Dolphin slightly because Dolphin mini has that crisp feeling and for some reason just feels better to me.

Opera Mini does show a ton of promise, and I do think that I'll keep it so that when my internet is weak, I can switch to it and still nef.
