This displays the need for more download categories. >250,000 doesn't cut it when apps are being downloaded millions of times.

I tried it out myself. Browsing noticeably slower than the stock browser. Homescreen seemed cluttered. Flash playback about the same as stock with adobe. My conclusion, no notable benefit over the stock browser, uninstall.

I agree with you about the download error. I had to disable it as my default temporarily so I could get an update for Trillian.

I've used this for some time. When Skyfire can play a video it works much smoother than with the Adobe Flash player. It usually is not choppy at all and the quality is certainly not as good but at least it's not choppy either. If your not using wifi, Skyfire is the way to go for watching flash videos. Works with youtube and pretty much any site…and I mean any

IMO, Skyfire runs flash videos with practically no latency or skipping, but you can't control the playback (ffw or rw). Also, the drawback is that it doesn't always capture all flash videos on some websites. I used it heavily when on 2.1.

Now i'm on the original droid, stock 2.2. The latest Flash is quite choppy, although I can control playback. It's a tough call. Smooth video or integrated choppy video with playback control...

I'll stick with the stock browser on D1. I don't like using any of the alternatives because they all seem slow and clunky.

I have never like the Skyfire Browser at all. I'll stick with XScope and Dolphin HD. But, I might as well redownload it and give it a second chance..

I use it as my default browser, and I'd have to say that it is decent for flash content. The only problem is that there is no option for higher quality. Usually the videos look very grainy on my Dx and aren't fullscreen. However, I still use skyfire as the default since I'd rather be able to play the videos poorly rather than not at all. Another plus for skyfire is that it has a quick option to load pages as a desktop or mobile device. This is fun to switch on and off depending on connection type.
