Abstract
During the past few years the web has changed and something which has been developed primarily for desktop computers can now be accessed from everywhere using portable and mobile devices. However, these new devices have some serious limitations in terms of screen size and computational power, just to mention a few. In order to display web pages designed for desktop-sizes monitors, some small screen web browsers provide different approaches for this problem – however, these approaches have limitations. In this paper, we have performed tests to five different small screen rendering web-browsers (Pocket Internet Explorer, Minimo, NetFront, Opera, Opera Mini) while rendering some relevant web sites.
