That's where Firefox is needed on the mobile and even more specifically ad-blocker. It's silly that other browsers either don't include such a feature or have to rename it to "content blocker" and make it cumbersome to use. Browsing on a smaller device with limited bandwidth and screen real estate screams "I need an ad blocker." Who wants to wait for a bunch of flash ads and scripting to load in that environment?</p> Markus is right on about add-ons.

That's a waste of time. Anyone that truly wants a web experience will have a touch or qwerty interface. The number of phones limited to strictly numeric buttons is sure to dwindle as people upgrade to smart phones.</p> I hope by innovation on devices they aren’t spending lots of time trying to figure out input methods on numeric keypads.

How many Nokia 810s are out there in the market? And has one really seen the finished product to say that it “rocks” I have it on my Nokia 810 and frankly, I am not ready to jump to those conclusions. Maybe it looks better because the one Nokia bundles is a cumbersome beast.

Fennec, an alpha version of the mobile Mozilla browser, is the best of all browsers I have installed on my Nokia N810 touch device. It feels like the real Firefox, since nearly everyone of the valuable Add Ons works and I can install search plugins.

Especially the Adblocker makes me happy, as well as the tabbed browsing. I also run the other mentioned browsers on my S60 and Windows Mobile devices. None of them is as great as Fennec.

Until now Fennec looks like the PC version of Mozilla, which already makes me happy. But when it gets Aza Raskin’s user interface it will be nearly perfect. I can’t wait to install it as Alpha or Beta version.

Webkit and Opera mobile are also great. But what really rocks is Mozillas versatility.

The touch stuff is easy to see, and obviously makes a great demo, but we’ve got even more going on under the hood with performance (especially JavaScript) and memory that are going to make the Firefox mobile experience strictly top-notch.
