Firefox for Android, new domain.

Posted by Jared (aka Evilpig) October - 21 - 2009 - Wednesday

Due to the recent issues with the site, be sure to goto http://android.teamriot.net to get here. I will purchase a new domain soon. OpenAndroidAlliance.com works for now. Also I just found out that Firefox will be out for Android soon. Would be the BEST browser to use!

In the mobile browser wars, Webkit-based browsers seem to be pulling away from the pack. Don’t count Firefox out yet, though, because the CEO of Mozilla says that Firefox has put together “the most advanced mobile browser,” and it’s due to hit Android phones soon. Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox, is based on Firefox 3.6, which is a generation ahead of the current desktop version of Firefox. As CEO John Lilly told Om Malik of GigaOM, this browser does “everything – Javascript, CSS, Flash, SVG, video and audio.”

Like the desktop version of Firefox, the mobile version uses the AwesomeBar, which provides quick access to bookmarks and browser history, right from the address bar. Mozilla also plans to support add-ons for Firefox’s mobile version, which would make it the first mobile browser to do so. Add-ons might be the sole factor keeping Firefox competitive on the desktop. In the mobile space, they’d give it an edge. Along with Android, Mozilla is also developing for Nokia’s Maemo OS, which isn’t too widespread in the US, but is growing in global popularity.

Mozilla makes its mobile move, brings Firefox 3.6 to Android originally appeared on Download Squad on Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:00:00 EST.

About us

As you all are probably aware Cyanogen has been sent a Cease and Desist order. We can use this opportunity to get everyone come together and create alternatives to Google\'s apps we are calling on anyone with experience who is up to the challenge to set this straight and out \"Android\" Google.

This however is not about getting back at Google or who was in the wrong in the C&D. This is solely a project about distributing a *Flavor* of Android that is fully customizable and does not rely on Google or other copyrights...

As of now the goal is a Rom (No google at all) that we can make calls from and text. I would like all apps to be developed in house so it is easy to get in contact with the developer if we want to make any changes or get in touch with the original developer to make sure they approve.
Thanks for the support!
