I tried the Skyfire browser back when it was in beta.

I didn’t like it then, and quickly discarded it.

Yesterday, I decided to give it another chance.

Same results.

I downloaded the latest bits, and installed it on the LG eXpo.

First portend of things to come: at first use, for the very first time on this very capable smartphone, the LG multitasking applet asked me to shut down one of the running apps. And promptly froze!

I had to do a battery-removal reset.

Trying to replicate the error, I loaded the same apps that were running prior to the STOP event, and started IE mobile. No issue.

I restarted Skyfire and, it generated the same fault.

Reset the eXpo, and without running any other apps, started Skyfire. It worked.

Next issue: you cannot set a personal start page.

Furthermore, you have to create an account to make changes to the home page!

On what planet is that, you know, a good thing?

Then I tried to connect to this blog.

The woeful browser would NOT load AbsolutelyWindows!!!

Erh, Fail!

I have deleted the browser from my smartphone.

If only I could delete my extremely bad experience with it from my consciousness!
