Top three mobile phone browsers
Although mobile web browsing is a recent phenomenon, there is already a good range of mobile browsers to choose from when you buy a smartphone. This is impressive considering what happened with PC browsing – Internet Explorer was the only choice for quite a few years before the likes of Firefox and co came along to challenge it.
Mobile browsers are built especially for mobile phones, taking into account the constraints (and possibilities) offered by the format. It’s worth checking how your site works on all of the mobile browsers out there, especially when you’re launching new content. It would be a great shame to have a fantastic new page up, only to exclude all of the users of say, Opera Mini, because you hadn’t done a few simple compatibility checks.
Here are three of the best mobile phone browsers around at the moment:
1) Opera Mini. The most popular mobile phone browser available, with 20 million users and growing. This browser comes ready installed in most of today’s mobiles and is the one most people have their first mobile internet experience with. With excellent compression and the ability to play online video, it’s the go-to browser of choice.
2) UCWEB Mobile Browser. A mobile phone browser that’s very popular in the East, especially China, but yet to saturate the Western mobile market. Now available in 6.3, as opposed to Opera Mini’s 4.2, so it’s obviously a fast-developing application. This is a great one for security, with a password manager at the heart of its features. There is also an advanced search function, tabbed browsing and an email service to benefit from.
3) Teashark. An interestingly named browser for sure. It seems simple at first – it’s only available in one format, JAVA MIDP 2.0 – but this is actually a really clever choice. This simplicity allows Teashark to work on every mobile phone. Compared to Opera, it has a cleaner interface and start-up page and it also offers a full text select and find text function like its PC-based counterparts.
