Usually every GPRS enabled mobile comes with an embedded web browsers.However they are just vanilla flavored browsers which offer only basic web browsing.You may not be able to browse your bank’s site just because it doesn’t offer encryption.In this web 2.0 era everybody wants to work on Internet seamlessly independent of the device used ,i.e. any web page should look, feel and work in the same way in a PC/Laptop or mobile .
Searching for a good mobile web browsers, I came across some very popular browsers like Opera mini and some of the less known like Tea shark.Some of the browsers were paid ones.But here I have listed only Freely available browsers.
