Firefox 4 for Android: Desktop-Like Browsing for Your Phone

Formerly known as Fennec, Firefox 4 for Android devices is among the most feature-rich mobile browsers to date.

For all the rapid improvement that both Apple's iOS and Google's Android have seen, one thing about both mobile operating systems hasn't changed much at all: their browsers. True, their technical underpinnings have been refined. But featurewise, they haven't evolved at anywhere near the pace of their counterparts on PCs, where the competition among browsers is never-ending.

That's one reason why I'm in favor of browser competition being as healthy on smartphones and tablets as it is on computers. On iOS, that's not going to happen anytime soon--Apple doesn't permit full-blown browsers with their own rendering engines in the App Store. (Ones that use the Safari engine, such as the excellent Atomic Web Browser, are permissible; so is Opera Mini, which does most of its work on Opera's servers, not on your phone.)
