Interesting, I liked the interface..I'm kind of confused; outside of Flash video, is there a big difference from the stock browser?

Is it supposed to be ultra fast, pretty interface, highest definition, something like that? Forgive my ignorance; I'm new to all this stuff.

Thank you for the question and for trying Skyfire! Skyfire 2.x is not a browser as much as it is a “cloud service” that boosts the performance and features of the native browser on any device. When you download Skyfire 2.x as a consumer, you get everything your default browser would do, and more. Our goal is to enable our user's to watch all the videos they watch on their favorite desktop websites on their mobile device. We are adding support for new sites each day.

While I use the stock browser for day-to-day use, Skyfire is great for watching videos such as the Daily Show and Colbert Report directly from their sites. Great job, Skyfire dudes!

While I agree Skyfire isn't fast/reliable enough to replace the stock broswer, I dont think it is that bad.

I used it on a Hero and found it to be a good backup browser specifically for video. The stock browser is my go-to, but there are times when I can't watch a video through it and I will just go directly to the site with Skyfire if I want to watch the video bad enough.
