Windows Mobile browsers: Full comparison chart
Menneisyys at Mobility Site did a (very) detailed comparison between every available Windows Mobile browser with the benchmark set as the iPhone’s Safari. Opera 9.5, Skyfire, Opera Mini, Iris, Internet Explorer 6, Pre-6 Internet Explorer and NetFront, all in their latest versions were put to the test.
Since the benchmark was Safari, Menneisyys included in his comparison only finger friendly browsers, and he used the Pre-6 Internet Explorer with SPB Pocket Plus that adds finger scrolling on IE.
The comparison covers stuff like, Real-world rendering tests, Scrolling-related tests, Input, Stability, Full screen and VGA support etc.
As for a definitive winner, I am afraid you have to read the comparison chart by yourself to come to a conclusion, since this is just a comparison and not a competition. It seems though, that most Windows Mobile browsers outperform Safari in most aspects, especially in Stability tests, Memory Management and of course Copy/Paste functions.

If you mean the last link, that is Menneisyys’s site. It does have annoying ads, but I do not know about malware.

Feel free to change the original, temporary http://menneisyys.741.com/ link to http://winmobiletech.com/012009Browsers/chart.html in the original article – now, my DB backend started to work again and I no longer need to rely on free webspace providers.

It is now fixed – just follow the original chart link; that is, http://winmobiletech.com/012009Browsers/chart.html
Sorry for having had to use a free Webspace provider to host it for some time – now, my backend is working.

I think I’ll wait until a final release before making any final judgements, rather than judging the results from a hacked version.

Toast to that. Why compare the unnoffical version of the IE 6 browser with offical stuff?
