Are you using Skyfire browser for Android?







If you are not using the Skyfire 4.0 browser on your Android, and you are heavy into the social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, you are missing great social networking features and other really great features.  What is amazing to me is that I have been using this browser for nearly a year, and I learned about most of the features below just recently.


This is the smartest mobile browser I have seen.  Be sure to slide the Skybar so you can see all the icons.  You can go into the options to hide any features that that you do not want to appear on the Skybar below.


Skyfire Skybar
Facebook - View your entire Facebook page.
Twitter - View your Twitter feed.
Like - Like web page right from the browser.
Fireplace - Filter view of the Facebook newsfeed of posts that have a clickable link.
Finance - Keep up with what is going on in the world of finance.
News 
Sports
Ideas - Explore related ideas from other sites
Groupon
Sharing - Share in several different places (Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Gmail, text message, etc.)
Google Reader
Popular -  See what is popular on Facebook, and you can like or share from the browser.


I love the search bar. When I search an item, underneath the search bar are icons that allow me to discover more information.  I can see what is shared in the form of video and see what is being shared on Facebook, Twitter, and more.


Download from Google Play
For  2.99, you can enable the optimized video feature which compresses video decreasing amount of data used by 75%.  I started out with the free version of Skyfire and then upgraded for 2.99 which enabled me to watch much more high quality video across the web.

Well, most of these great features that I love anyway went right by me.  Check out this browser, and let me know below the features that you like the best.
