Who likes what, and why?
Dolphin hd. Tabs, addons, gesture support, rss recognition. Just an all around great app.

I still find myself using opera mini more often than not. Could be because I just got so used to it with winmo. But out of the others available, I really like xscope (paid ver) Its very fast and I love all the options and extras, like the task manager and themes.
just curious, anybody whos used both dolphin and xscope, which is better in your opinion?

What browsers has best streaming support? I read that skyfire converts on the fly, but didn't seem to work for me.
I'm really liking xscope as far as the interface goes, i tried Dolphin HD as well as the dolphin HD 2 beta, but it just seems to me that xscope's interface is more feature rich
I really like the native HTC one. It's faster than the others. I think.... On my Blackberry I used Opera Mini, but here the HTC is faster. Not perfect though. Some input text boxes don't work, so I have to use Opera for that.

XScope is great.. probably moves about twice as fast for most lookups compared to the stock browser.
i tested opera, steel, dolphin, dolphin hd, and xscope. been using xscope RELIGIOUSLY since 1.5 on my moment, now glad to have it on my evo. fastest one, chrome style setup, and themes are a bonus
Running the froyo rom and having tried the paid version of xcsope (it looks hideous even with the themes I've found ) skyfire, and Dolphin HD i find the stock browser to be the best overall, the only thing thats driving me nuts at the moment is not being able to easily change the browser id to desktop without digging into about:debug every restart and not being able to go full screen.

I like xScope .. Has a nice one-finger-zoom! (doubletap and drag up to the right)
flash on xperia x10
there is a browser that supports Flash for x10 xperia?
skyfire browser will be flash compatible but its still in closed beta so u cant get it yet.

Flash player and pinch
Android 2.1 will have flash player? but pincy?
The new firefox browser is suppose to have flash 10 to but it's not out yet
An early build of Firefox Fennec is available but it requires 2.0 or 2.1 to run. I downloaded it anyways and it wouldn't install.
I use Dolphin on my phone. And I really like it.
It shows the pages better than Opera does imo.
Opera is loading pages quickly, but they do not look good when they are loaded...
Skyfire 2.0 (Beta) was just released on the market. Works beautifully, is fast (as it's server-based like Opera Mobile), and can natively be set as your default browser.

Awesome! I used Skyfire to watch hockey games stream in Flash! Now I can keep up with the NHL playoffs when I'm out! Thanks for the heads up!
EDIT: Got it! Can't wait to test it out!
Skyfire 2.0 all the way!!
I don't think skyfire works on android 1.6?
at least I can't find it on market with x10
You have to download the beta version to your sd card and install from there.
Theres a thread Somewhere on here with a link

Been trying xScope. Man it's fast, and the UI is pretty good as well.
Original samsung browser wont work very well. What browser should i use?
I've been having nice results with the Dolphin HD browser so far.
Dolphin hd 4.0 and firefox mobile
Firefox Mobile for me, feels very fast but the fonts seems blurry sometimes.
Dolphin HD. Has the option to add AdBlocker... among many other add-ons.
I'm running Skyfire for the moment, it seems faster than the stock browser. I rried Dolphin as well but Skyfire seems a bit more stable and faster to me, but I have no benchmarks to back up my impression.
Dolphin HD all the way
Tried FireFox two days ago, but it was slow loading pages. The stock browser and Dolphin HD loads 50-80% faster.
Firefox mobile is fast...but the fonts are blurry because it takes a while to render especially if zooming.
Skyfire didn't seem as quick for me when zooming in.
I still ended up going back to Dolphin HD... I love the gesture support and use more of the add ons like shake to switch tabs, etc. I also think their interface is uch more refined
I use xscope, fastest browser for android, dolphin is way too bugged for me

Xscope is way faster than dolphin, it has less bugs, and it can sync his bookmarks with the stock ones, which is a big plus for me, as I use the bookmark widget of launcher pro plus.

Any one manages to get the full bbc iplayer site workin over 3g?
Not the mobile version. I keep being redirected to the mobile site and then It states can not stream over 3g. I try to switch the agent to desktop then bbc states that my phone is not supported :s
This is on both stock browser and also Dolphin HD
Just downloaded Firefox 4 beta 2... just released.... it seems to be MUCH faster than beta 1 which I only tried yesterday. Rendering of text and zooming is quicker also. I can't seem to sync with the desktop version though....

Does it support Flash yet, though? If it does, I'll take another look. Otherwise, I'm trying to decide between Dolphin HD and xScope 6. xScope is a lot prettier, with the glaring exception of bookmarks, which it handles horribly - generating a sort of dynamic web page to list them rather than having a proper UI. No bookmark folders either.
I can't find any speed comparisons between Dolphin 4 and xScope 6, but subjectively they don't feel much different.
anyone know if there is a way to get the tabs browser on the sgs captivate? the tabs browser has the windows button next to the address bar and would be more convenient than stocks. (need stock due to some weird rendering issue with some sites)
Mate its just the stock android 2.2 browser with a few minor and mostly cosmetic changes.
But I've found its considerably slower (in opening web pages) than the browser on my 2.1 milestone.
Xscope6 is the best choice for me
Another vote for xscope. Its the best designed browser in terms of usability, speed and features. Would love to have plugin support though. I would consider switching to Dolphin HD if the interface wouldn't be so ugly (and oversized). Looks like an mp3 skin from 5 years ago. The fullscreen toggle in xscope rocks as well.
is there a way to trick websites to think that you are using your computer and not your android. for example when you goto megavideo it takes you to some jobo games web. or when you goto sidereel.com to watch tv shows it only shows you links that you have to pay to watch while when you access it using computer it lets you surf megavideo and videobb links (free).
is there a way to fix this?
Try the skyfire browser available from the market. It handles in-browser video very well.
One great browser which allows you to browse the full desktop versions of sites is called Miren Browser, in the market. It's free and has a pretty nice interface.
I use dolphin hd... It gives you an option to switch between desktop and mobile.

Thanks guys i have dolphin hd browser but i have the same prob.
Ill try others see if that helps
EDIT:
Miren browser worked the best. With my prob. Better then skyfire and dolphin hd.
Ps. Opera mini is the fastest browser, but there is no exit button and will run in the back eating your ram.

+1. It's really nice that you can set the user agent.
How can i make browsing on the STOCK browser be more smooth, orietation/ pinch to zoom, watch flash content easier, and mostly scroll~
Any particular reason why you want to stick with the stock browser so bad? I've had much better luck with Firefox and Opera
mostly because its the one im most comfortable with and like it plays flash the best... but im thinking bout trying those browsers out
i know this is old thread but skyfire is a good browser to use
I've tried them all.. I like ninesky

I prefer stock over everything. Maybe the KI3 leak today will be better.
I am a huge fan of uc browser. Anyone else tried it?

Which of these browsers lets you watch flash videos in full screen? I've tried dolphin mini and ninesky, but I can only watch them in-page or via an outside app (ie moboplayer).

To make your stock browser really awesome:
Open browser
Type in url section: about:debug
It should refresh and go to homepage
Then go into settings and now you should see a few more options
Go ahead make sure enable plugins is always on
This should make the stock browser amazing

I've enjoyed using Opera Mini myself. Now if we could only get adblock support for firefox, I'd switch in a second.
My stock browser is running smooth with Ravers Beautiful ROM

uninstall it after downloading a real browswer
Has anyone noticed a huge scroll lag in their current browser of choice. am using Miren browser but it got to a point that is bareble usable. And don't think I noticed this issue on the first day I had my new tablet. Opera seem to be the only one with a smooth scroll but I wonder if its related to the tablet or what .

Miren does not work well on HC tablets. The stock browser is okay and other browsers utilizes stock engine is fine (Dolphin, Maxthon).
Opera is smooth too.
