Dolphin HD Browser...Anyone try this?

Hey guys,
I downloaded the Dolphin HD Browser last night (free version) to try it out on the X. The features of this browser are amazing and is easy to use but it has horrible lag. Anyone else experience the same problem as me? Or is this just how the program acts? I uninstalled the program because it was just that bad

We don't disrespect the Dolphin Bro! LoL...
Its due to all the extra goodies so its worth the few milliseconds of diff.

Lol...sorry ...I wasn't trying to disrespect just wondering because the browser is way better than the stock one on the X

Slow??? Not at all for me, if anything its faster than the stock browser. The one thing i have noticed is it trys to load the majority of the page before it displays it.
Dolphin hd Being able to disable the notification bar = my default browser.

Dolphin HD Best Browser Confirmed!

To be honest dolphin is the sh**

Don't mean to be a hater, but I didn't quite get it. I was always an Opera Mini fan on WinMo, so I quickly put it on my X, but it doesn't seem to support pinch to zoom.
I downloaded Dolphin, and while it does support PTZ, I don't quite see where it's better than the default browser.
I'm willing to listen though. Educate me.

Even with pinch and zoom, its not that good. With opera it formats the text so you can read it straight down with dolphin I had to keep scrooling left and right to keep reading. Opera in my opinion is the better choice.

Dolphin does that too. Opera Mini?? I guess if you like seeing only the text on a site.......
Dolphin is best becuase A: It hides the notification bar, B: you can swipe left or right to get to the adress bar instead of going all the way to the top of the page. and C: its generally better at rendering pages than the stock browser.
and I used to be the BIGGEST dolphin hater back in the day. It has come a reallllly long way since then. Tried Xscope but that thing while having alot of features was buggy to the max!

Wow...I guess I started on a very touchy subject for some of you . The load speeds on the browser itself are fine, it's just the menus that were lagging for me. I will give it another go after we get froyo on this thing.

What browser do you use?

Just looking to see what browser everyone uses,I've tried a few different ones and haven't found the "perfect" one yet I like the sync feature that firefox has to sync my bookmarks and tabs,specifically the "real time" sync of pages I have open my PC. But for some reason firefox is real laggy on my bolt,Does any other browser have that?

Miren. It's insanely good. I set flash plug-ins to on demand, location off, and its amazing. http://market.android.com/details?id=cn.miren.browser

Firefox on a bolt... Wow. Firefox has been slow and funky on any android phone I've owned.
I agree with the Miren browser suggestion. I've been using it for many moons.
You may want to try out XScope too. It's a speedy feature filled browser. I purchased dolphin xd and used it for awhile, but once I found Miren, I uninstalled the dolphin and never looked back.

Love the stock browser the best.

Dolphin mini is fast.

1. Dolphin HD. I love it.
2. I sure thought Firefox would have been better. It looks and feels great but it is SLOOOOOOOOOOW.
3. WTF doesn't Google have a mobile Chrome browser? Seriously?

I use skyfire. It's a pretty good browser.

+1 to that

Miren
Minimal, easy flash, good looking, no stupid gestures
.eschew obfuscation.

Opera Mobile

I've tried them all and while all have some good features I finally landed on xscope...

I use Miren or Dolphin HD, I just can't decide between them.

Opera Mini on 3G - Opera Mobile on wifi.

been using dolphin hd, but guess I'll give miren a chance.

Google made the stock browser ;-)
I use stock browser if it's AOSP, but I hate the Sense changes to it so I use Dolphin on Sense.

after playing with Miren for a bit, definitely a nice browser. Don't know why all the browsers want to be light blue or light green though.
Only thing seems missing is private mode.

I vote for miren too. I thought the new FireFox was supposed to have a private mode, but don't see it.

I would love it if they eventually pulled it out as a Market app like Maps and Voice so Sense users could have the option of using it.

I like this idea. The sense tabs view is pretty cool though. I like the pinch out to tab view. One of the very few things I miss on aosp.

It on you. I prefer Dolphin and Stock browser. But you can choose Chrome as i said, its your choice.

Ill advice you to use Opera, so far the best browsing experience i had on a android device. <3

I use Dolphin HD

Dolphin mini ftw!!!!!!!

I keep going back to Dolphin HD. Guestures, tab options andbeing able to "swipe out" bookmarks and plug-ins do it for me.

Opera should be fine, no problems with that.

Was using Miren Browser but I wanted the slide out menus like Firefox has, so switched to Dolphin HD (because FF has no Flash).

Tried them all out and so far it's Dolphin FTW!!!!

I like maxthon. Just my opinion

opera is good..no problem with that..

Dolphin for me as well. But it's a matter of taste, you need to try them out and see which one suites you.

Dolphin HD is the best by far. I tried all of them and Chrome is too featureless right now, also does not support Flash.

Dolphin HD It's fast and I just like all the customizations it offers

I'd say Chrome

If Flash isn't a need, then Chrome is pretty awesome (or Fire Fox, or Opera), but I need flash, so I use Dolphin (mini on the phone, HD on the tablet).

Puffin is actually a pretty good browser!

awesome browser - dolphin beta

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.lab.en
im an avid user of boat browser but since ive upgraded to cm10 there has been many UI inconsistencies and things that do not work. i tired out dolphin beta and while it's a large download it's the fastest ive used soo far.

So.what's the difference.between this dolphin beta and dolphin hd with the jetpack add on for html5?

i tired the regular dolphin and it was sorta laggy and ate up alot of battery. this one seems super fast, could just be placebo but i urge you to try it out.

I've been using dolphin beta for awhile. Imo, it's one, if not the fastest browser on the market. I don't use any other browsers except the stock one when I need it to play flash. Highly recommended.

I've been a Dolphin user for a long time. I'm curious, what's the deal with Dolphin Jetpack. It's sort of like a plugin, but also a separate app? It sounds like it installs with its own icon that you have to use... or something. I haven't tried it out yet (obviously) as a few comments seemed to say they had problems with it.
Edit: Also, I assume Dolphin Beta is sort of like their version of nightlies?

I've been using dolphin since it's first release and it's still the fastest around.....IMHO. I tried Dolphin Jetpack and it loaded web pages super fast. Only downside is that it ate up too much battery. Since there isn't flash support on DB I've been using Holo Web Browser found here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891975). It's just as fast if not slightly faster as Dolphin is and plays flash wonderfully.

i tired holo and didn't like it. im super picky about my browsers. as soon as boat fixes the issues ill probably be back on that.

Quickest browser?

Hi,
I'm fed up with Chrome browser on my Nexus S. Way too laggy for single core.
What is the best lightest, quickest browser for Nexus S now?
I have tried Dolphin but don't really like the layout. Prefer something minimal similar to Chrome but with no lag.
Is boat browser still going? I remember that from a few years ago.
Any recommendations appreciated.
I'm currently trying out Helly Bean FYI.
Cheers.

Stock android browser works best for me.

PS. Stock is the best one for me as well
Me Gusta!

I am a bit of a purist, and have used the stock browser more than anything else. I do like the smoothness of Opera and the quickness of Opera Mini, however Opera is so large, it can be slow, and Mini doesn't support flash. A few weeks ago, I tried Naked Browser, and it has become my daily driver. It's minimalistic, which I like, and quite quick. Only thing I don't like, and this minor, is the icon. So I simply change it to the stock browser icon (Holo HD launcher), and I'm good to go.

Firefox is the way to go.

i use opera mobile... what is the difference between mobile and mini?

i found the default browser of Cyanogen/slim bean really fast ! Not only because of loading time, but also with the side-pie system !:good:

Try Naked Browser. It is very light and doesen't look fancy but it is by far the fastest i've ever tried.

That makes two of us! (Did you notice post #8?)

I'm using Opera Mobile. I found the stock browser was okay, but lacked something that I can't remember now. Mobile also supports Flash. I will give Naked a try though.

Sadly, i didn't!
Believe it or not, but i don't like the Naked Browser icon so i changed it to stock browser icon too.

I gave naked browser a go in the end but just didn't like it. Didn't seem any faster than stock to me and that address bar looked awful.
So it's stock for me. Seems to combine speed with slick functionality.

I'v been using One Browser. Not sure if it's faster than the Stock, but it's been doing a good job for me so far.
I remember Opera Mini been fast too.
