Industry Praise for Skyfire

In particular, I think that Skyfire has a chance to displace Opera on a ton of feature phones as the default mobile web browser. The mobile web browser also uses a proxy system to deliver richer Internet content to handsets while minimizing bandwidth and I generally like its interface better than Opera.

Information Week - April 8, 2010
Skyfire is an extremely light weight mobile browser that has two major strengths. First, it side-loads everything from the Skyfire server. What that means is that when you request a web page through Skyfire, it loads that web page on its own servers first - faster than your phone ever could. Then it optimises that page to display the best on your particular model of mobile device. THEN it sends it to your phone.
