The line between mobile phones and full-fledged computers is becoming
blurred more and more every day. According to a study released by ABI
Research, by the year 2015 over 3.8 billion mobile handsets, or roughly
60 percent of the world's mobile phones, will come with some type of
mobile browser. Just because a cell phone comes with a mobile browser
doesn't mean that the stock browser is your only option for surfing the
Internet, however. There are a number of alternative browsers for
Android, iOS and BlackBerry devices, and you can change your mobile Web
browser directly from your Internet-enabled smartphone.
Instructions iPhone
Tap the "App Store" icon on the iPhone's home screen,
followed by the "Search" icon at the bottom of the App Store application
window.
Type the name of the mobile browser you want to download,
then tap "Search" to search for the application. Opera, Mercury and
Mango are a few of the Safari alternatives available on the iTunes App
Store.
Tap the name of the mobile browser you want to install. Tap
the "Free" button, followed by the "Install" button to install the
browser onto the iPhone.
Tap the new browser's application icon on the iPhone's home screen to launch the browser.
Android
Tap the "Market" icon on the Android device's home screen to launch the Android Market, then tap the "Search" icon.
Type the name of the browser alternative you want to
download, then tap the "Enter" button. Dolphin, Skyfire and Steel are a
few of the Android mobile browser alternatives available on the Android
Market.
Tap the name of the mobile browser in the list of search
results, then tap "Install" to install the browser onto the Android
device.
Tap "Menu | Settings | Applications | Manage Applications."
Tap the "Browser" option, followed by the "Clear Defaults"
button. The next time you attempt to perform a task that requires the
use of a Web browser, you will be prompted to select the new default
browser. Select the mobile browser you installed to set it as the
device's default browser.
BlackBerry
Select the BlackBerry browser application on the BlackBerry device's home screen to launch the browser.
Navigate to m.opera.com and select the "Download Opera Mini"
link to download and install the Opera Mini browser onto your
BlackBerry device.
Select the Opera Mini browser to launch the application.
Tips & Warnings
You cannot change an iPhone's default Web browser without first jailbreaking the device.
As of March 2012, Opera Mini is the only BlackBerry browser alternative available.
You cannot change a BlackBerry device's default Web browser.
Some BlackBerry
applications allow you to highlight a link, press the "BlackBerry"
button and select the "Open with Opera Mini" option to open the link
with Opera Mini.
