indeed FF would be a great feature fo the iphone/ipod touch. simplifying its mobile demands to reach apples requirements is next to near impossible do to the fact that mozilla would end up wanting a pay cut from it all and apple isnt down for that. safari is a web browser with limited access points for “hackers” if you will unlike IE and FF because microsoft and linux has always been in compitition for best OS that the open access points are the least of their worriea at this point and apple realizes this and wants better over all so safari was created. you can try to mod mozilla for iphone but it wont happen. i do wish you luck to those who are trying tho.

the biggest advantage i could see is plug in support wouldn’t you love to have the ability to use flash content besides youtube

If by not “brilliant” you mean someone who uses gay to mean crappy, then I completely agree with you.

Still, if you got the skills to port it, then go for it!

Tell me about it! Everytime you’re trying to surf a regular website with Safari in WAP HTML &
there’s “too much” Java on the page, it crashes. Apple just wants all shares of the big future videocontent pie for itself! Competing browsers could supposedly circumvent copyguards & encryptions…they’ll have to come around sooner rather than later, though. Where’s the hihat hack in the meantime?

I’m not a “brilliant iPhone hacker” lol
But I’m working on porting firefox to the iPhone in my spare time , I hope apple has the guts to deploy it when it’s ready
Let’s face it , Safari is gay , and it crashes a lot
I’m adding some of chrome features that i liked too

i love safari but i want firefox on the iphone so that way there would be competition and advancement i mean apple has no reason to upgrade safari at all because there is no point, everyone will be using it

35% IE?!?! I can’t believe that many people are still using it.

I think the major advantage would be browser competition spurring innovation.

This isn’t huge news but we have a ton of Firefox users on this site.

Little interesting tidbit: Last month 40% of our traffic was Firefox beating IE at 35% and Safari at 20%.
