the apk and some screenshots
let me attach the apk and some screenshots here..

We're new to Android but we're very determined to create the best browser on Android!!! Guys, feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions.

Looks pretty good guys. Downloading it now to check it out. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work y'all.

thanks alot iAmTheTrueUI...... test it out and let us know how you feel about it.. =)

Glad to See Maxthon ...
Bringing their innovation to mobile! Downloading now and will take it through the paces.

I like it. Scrolling feels a bit choppy on long pages, no other issues that I can see so far.

Looks similar to Miren Browser.

Is it a webkit based browser?
Wasn't the pc version mostly a shell on top of IE?

Miren is a good browser. But I think Maxthon Mobile is at least as good. Maxthon also has Super Gesture, which makes browsing much easier. Also, don't forget favorites syncing from your desktop and other cool features =)

Yes the mobile version is a webkit based browser. The PC version has dual display engine, which is based on both Webkid and Trident. =)

Nice interface! Ill give it a try. Good job!

allow it to be seen as a full pc desktop browser not a mobile version otherwise i LIKE it...

Downloaded on Xperia x10...pretty faster even on GPRS / EDGE connection...Good job...Thanks for the wonderful browser

Full desktop and it will be great

And a dark skin would be nice, since Gingerbread (which everybody wants) is all about darkness

Ouch, need that to be available. Is that on the short term roadmap? Should be a pretty easy feature to add.

I love new stuff like this. Downloading it now.

I'd like to see the desktop UA as well. I'm having issues using the YouTube mobile site. When I click on a video, it does not launch or ask me how I want to play the video. The full website works flawlessly. Overall, a very nice browser.

Opera Mobile 11...good

This browser is definitely better than default browser. Fast, flash support, and it gets 100% on acid3 ( http://acid3.acidtests.org ) test.
Finally, I found a right browser for Galaxy Tab.
I have to agree for the most part. Its definitely much faster and smoother than anything else I've tried. I would classify it as the best if they would implement an exit button and different fonts.

Works like a charm for me to with almost everything. Youtube work perfect for me.
Have just encounter one wiki page that became realy screwed up. But i justed used the stock browser to read on it.
It crashes every time I try to play a streaming Flash game from mlb.com which is a real shame considering it looks very nice in every other aspect and it very responsive.

For people using Dolphin HD, how does it compare to Opera? I've just gotten used to Dolphin and I would prefer not to have to learn the interface of a new browser...
Tried Miren and Skyfire and didn't like them, but may want to give Opera a try.

Dolphin HD was my primary browser, but now Opera Mobile is. The changes are significant but very welcome and easy to get used to. In fact it enhances the experience in my opinion, but there are issues. For one, it needs an exit button and there are some strange font issues when playing flash video. It also needs a way to import and export bookmarks. Even after those shortcomings, browsing is quite fast and very enjoyable. But this is just my opinion. It costs you nothing to try this out so give it a shot. You might like what you see.....or not.
I would highly recommend Firefox mobile (Version 4)
It supports all of the above and has multiple-language support (such as Arabic/Hebrew and other non-latin RTL characters) and one of my favourite features is that it keeps all of your settings, your bookmarks and even your open tabs synced with your desktop or anywhere else you're running Firefox v4

It doesn't support flash yet so that's a deal breaker for me. I'll revisit it when flash works. Hopefully it will become as good as the desktop version.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
I tried Firefox 4 as well, because I like it.. In principle. The result after synchronizing everything was that it took more than 1.6GB (reported by the OS in My Apps). I then unchecked history sync, and it came back to a few megabytes over (aka around 86MB), but it then stopped bringing my bookmarks over from the desktop. It's also rather slow in operation (compared to it, Opera is blazing fast).
That said, I'm looking forward to the next release, so far it has been going in the right direction. JavaScript performance in Firefox is stellar, the real speed problem is with page rendering, but it has been getting better. It's still a decent browser though, and it compares well to the stock one (juuuuuuust a bit slower, but with add-ons and lots of goodies)

Opera called that Opera link. Syncs bookmarks, notes, quick dial. Open tabs... nope, but that would've been a deal breaker for me since on the desktop version I usually need at least 500 mb just to open Opera lol. It's a feature that's been there for quite a long time now.

Was using Dolphin HD too, but I just tried Opera Mobile 11 and I kinda love it. And it's free!
I am still sticking with skyfire. Fast, supports flash. Opera performs poorly on symbian mobile.
I've found Opera to run silky smooth on my tab, except for youtube. They look absolutely terrible, stuck in ultra low res mode or something. Only flaw with the browser.
Annoying as hell regardless.

Web Browser Invert Colors Bookmarklet

I was looking for a solution to invert browser colors on my Epic4G. I look forward to a day when Cyanogenmod runs on the epic so I can use the modded browser with "invert colors". Dolphin HD's "Reader" addon was close, but it added padding to the browser on my Epic.
So... i decided maybe a javascript bookmarklet could do what i wanted. turns out, it did.
This has only been tested in the Android 2.3.4 stock browser. To use it, copy the code from the page linked to below into the clipboard and add a new bookmark, pasting the code into the URL box. Give it a name like "Invert Color". Then when you're viewing a page you want to invert, open the bookmarks menu, and click the bookmark.
http://tonymuka.com/js/
You still have to click the link for every page you browse to for now, but perhaps somebody knows a better way. I did try to contact Dolphin for info on writing Addons, but it doesn't seem very open. I haven't used firefox mobile too much yet, but maybe there is potential there...
I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, and since it might work on any device with a browser that supports bookmarklets, i put it in general. mods should feel free to move it with my thanks!
Enjoy!
does this work on wp7??

It should work in any modern HTML compliant browser that supports javascript in bookmarks. You'll probably have to copy and paste the javascript into the bookmark and give it a try. Please let us know if it does I tried this weekend in Dolphin HD on Android, and in Mobile Safari on Apple's iPad2 and it works there too.

Glad to hear it works in mango!
Unfortunately i don't know a way to make it permanent, i think the browser would have to allow such plugins to run automatically every time a page loads. (like a greasemonkey script, etc)
If you send a link to a page that wont invert I'll check it out and see if i can fix it. If it has a background image or flash there's not much i can do without removing background images altogether...

or make an entire new browser and upload to marketplace for free
Tony, thanks for this. It inspired me to think about a more permanent solution using a web filtering proxy. I have proof that it would work, but I don't have the skills to develop this further. Would be great if you could take a look at this and see if you have any thoughts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17960461
Browsers that support web storage could probably do it.
Also the one browser I know wont have a problem making it permanent would be Opera Mobile, because it supports user javascript and css like the desktop browser does.
claimui, great idea, i'll check it out!
yareally, i'm an old opera fan, but haven't fallen in love with the mobile version despite several attempts... gotta love the user js and css though- didn't know you could use them on mobile too!

Yeah, it's not quite as friendly to do as the desktop browser, but you can set the userjs/usercss locations and such in opera.ini and mod whatever you like.
I semi wrote an informal tutorial on it in a thread for opera mobile in the forum area http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=9373312

Pardon me, but this is rediculous! How do you justify accessing your private site for a "bookmarklet" over 90 kb in size running and incorporating parts of several versions of jQuery??
I put it to you that this is spyware! Swapping foreground and background colors is a oneliner in any version of this bookmarklet, doesn't need any external sites, runs much faster and doesn't have privacy issues like this garbage!

Hi Tony M
Just to repeat it here:
Put the javascript in a gesture activated bookmark in dolphin hd for ease of use.
I also found this gem on css sheets with opera mobile.

(Links)Google Chrome Beta Android 4.0 devices

It's been rumored for some time, but now it's finally here -- Google Chrome has landed on Android. Android 4.0 phone and tablet owners in selected countries can now grab a beta version of Chrome from the Android Market.
Chrome for Android expands on the stock ICS browser with faster performance and speed-boosting features like the ability to pre-load web pages, and a brand new tabbing interface. Tabs are now handled through a card-like interface, allowing you to flip between open pages, seeing more of the sites you've got open. Familiar features from the ICS browser, including incognito mode, and bookmark sync, have made it across to Chrome for Android too.
There's also a big focus on maintaining a consistent browsing experience across multiple devices, so you can send pages between desktop Chrome and mobile Chrome right from the menu button. We'll be diving further into Chrome for Android in a our hands-on feature. In the meantime, we've got screenshots, an official Google video and the Market link after the break. Note that you'll need an Ice Cream Sandwich phone or tablet, and live in the U.S., Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Argentina or Brazil to use it.
news from.. androidcentral (thats not a banning offence is it? )
Links for the APK.

File name: com.android.chrome-1.apk File size: 16.19 MB
Mediafire - thanks CoopZor
http://www.mediafire.com/?9olix3kac8z9tzy
downloading now.......will give feedback after giving it a good run out through out the day
edit: but then again maybe not. 3 fc already, scrolling either works really well or it starts to shake like mad.
its fast and i like the layout and transitions when it works though - not sure if my miui ics rom could cause any of the issues but its not really useable at this point.
By default it's only for ICS so that market won't even show it on HC or less.
Has anyone tried to side load it on Honeycomb?
I tried, no go.
Eureka it works!
Fairly stable for me. The only crash I had was with something like 7-8 tabs open (all XDA Prime forums, plus a few chrome blogs, LOL! I like it. A LOT! And typically I am hard to please, especially where browsers are concerned. There are way to many Android browsers out there that are acceptable, but not outstanding. Each has their own little tweaks and claim to fame, but under the hood they are ridiculousy similar. Let's see, I have had on my Prime, at one point or another:
Stock. Works well. So well it bores me, LOL
ICS+ A nice set of enhancements. I use it more than the stock webkit browser
Dolphin and Dolphin HD - I like, don't love it. A bit TOO slick, and some things frustrate me. It will be better when the HD catches up to the small screen version, I think
Opera Mini and Opera Mobile - What can I say. 2 solid browsers here. Mobile is a keeper. [
boat browser - Not imopressed, other than speed, it was buggy. removed.
Skyfire - I LOVED this one on my phone in early releases it was amazing. When Skyfire decided t charge me to see flash, I decided to cut them lose. Too many alternatives. It's not THAT great.
Firefox - a HUGE let down, but everyone expected magic here. Didn't materialize.
Maxthon. Very cool new browser.Jury still out on this one.
That's right off the top of my head.
Anyone know how to make the tab "Stack" appear in chrome, or is that only in the phone version, because we have the real estate to see the tabs. If so I am disappointed. That was chromes one big trick pony, and I was excited to try it. So far I can't see the button in top left to enable them, just a new tab button. Anyone?

good review.. I pretty much agree with all of it.
but I do use Maxthon a bit.. I am just comfortable with it..
and for some reason it opens pages a bit faster for me as I use VPN a lot out of here (China)
I've been running Chrome on my Nexus S for a few days now. It's amazing. Makes me wish I had ICS on my TF101. Fast, smooth, great interface. Massively better than the stock browser.
Google has basically made it official that, once it's mature, Chrome will be replacing the stock Android browser - but apparently only for devices running 4.0+. (see here)

Best Browser

What do you guys think is the best Browser for ICS or jelly bean on this device?
I had been using Xscope and really liked 2 features.
1. I could save my favorite sites on my computer as an html file and then just open that file on xscope and I had them all ready to go. I had roughly 60 sites, other browsers dolphin, opera, android could not do this.
2. My favorites would then be saved on my homepage in a "speed dial" like mode where I could just scroll and click on the site. I loved this because it was simple to use and looked great.
I would like a browser that could do this. I would also like a browser that could play flash on sites fairy well? If possible? If it happened to be blazing fast, that would be great.
Sites that I use
twitch.tv
espn.com
firstrowsports.eu
chess.com

IMO Chrome on phones sucks. I'm using it on my desktop/laptop and I love it. But as far as browsers for my mobile devices I go with Boat browser. It's simple, clean and bug free. It doesn't have the option to import bookmarks from other devices though, but I have few sites that I actually bookmark.
As far as Chrome syncing to the phone, just install an add-on to your desktop called Chrome to Phone.... you then install an app called the same thing on your phone and you can send ANYTHING you choose too(as long as you can open it in the browser) to your phone and have it automatically pull the webpage up or start a download etc...
I've tried literally every single browser there is multiple times. I've tried beta versions, lite versions, and everything in between. I've come to the conclusion that almost every browser for android absolutely blows. Seriously. They blow. The only good ones are ICS+ and boat browser with boat being the one I use. The rest are laggy, clunky, uncustomizable wastes. Chrome doesn't even have double tap to zoom images ffs.
Chrome for me. I have 3 devices and it saves mobile and desktop bookmarks. When you reflash, just sign in and everything is restored. :laugh:
I use Chrome but noticed the stock browser loads pages a lot faster

ICS+ >Boat browser> the rest
I guess I will have to try a few then once my GIII arrives.
I appreciate all the advice.
ICS+ browser for me, I've always liked the aosp ics browser. Then Dolphin or chrome
Haven't tried any others, really but Maxthon Browser has kept me satisfied to not seek alternatives. Tabbed browsing with a home screen for shortcuts to frequently used sites.
Lastpass.com and the android browser associated with it is actually pretty sweet, autologins and password saving is excellent

That's where i'm at now. Before I liked opera mobile (not mini) but chrome is a bit nicer to use in my opinion.
I'm using Chrome on my PC and phone, I love the sync between the two. Shared bookmarks is awesome.
Ive tried out a few from peoples recommendations and I always come back to dolphin. I love the favorites on the left side to drag out and overall its always been smooth for me
Tap'n
Ok I have the ICS browser and Chrome. I logged into my gmail and chrome information. I did not see any of my bookmarks in chrome browser. However when I go to the ICS browser it has all my chrome bookmarks....
Can anyone help me out with that?
Maxthon
I really like Maxthon, instant back is a must for me. It is similar to Miren which I loved on Froyo/Gingerbread.
Opera: it's fast, has very good window management and incorporates the best text reflow on zoom in/out of the browsers I have tried. For that matter, Chrome and Stock ICS browsers don't reflow text and Firefox had its own issues.
Opera plays Flash apps fine, from what I've experienced.
Opera Link can offer a central sharing point for your favorites/bookmarks and other settings between your Opera browsers, so copying around a hardcopy file you've generated would probably not be necessary.

FYI my handset is the HTC One XL, and I'm running the Carbon ROM.

So I tried it...
and got some issues...
that browser is good looking and it works fast.
But:
I can't see the multiple language support.
If you want to make it "world wide" you should allow users from outside the U.S. delete/edit Speed dial items to chose from. Let's say (for example) "Mercado Libre" is not as interesting as you might think.
Concerning all of your browsers: the "help buttons" are a joke, can't get any real information here.
Why don't you offer ad free versions of UC Browser and UC Browser mini? I would pay to use them.
You should give a clear statement which user data is collected/forwarded to your servers.
Regards!
Good browser. Using it for a time, but... Too many permission!

Hello, random hero. Thanks for your review.:good:
First I am sorry that I made a mistake because the beta version is only for English, the current version on Google Play and the release version for 9.0 support 7 languages. For the Speed Dial, you can long press on it to remove, and an edit option is put into consideration. Also the websites for Speed Dial recommendation are not very carefully chosen because it's the beta test, it is certain that the official release will make it right.
The content in "Help" may not provide really helpful info for users, as you mentioned, I have reported this to my colleague to make it with more guidance.
For the ad-free version, we will consider it seriously. For the moment, we are not pushing many ads to the browser and it's for sure that user experience is our priority. Thanks again for your feedback.:fingers-crossed:
Hello finally someone to listen for uc browser
Okay
This was the best browser on symbian and having used it for a long time I am way disappointed by the Android version
I have used both the normal and hd version
And here it goes
1) )u guys have an awesome in browser down loader I use this browser for precisely this purpose
One thing that can be added to the downloader is the option of changing links for an active download which stops like we do in loaderdroid download manager
2) the server compression program doesn't work as good as expected for countries like India
3) it displays annoying messages which should be hidden
Like page zoom saved there's no need to display that
4) the pinch to zoom is laggy as compared to any other browser
Talking about the normal version not the tablet one
Yes I mean it as compared to any other browsers and I am on s3 so it cannot be a hardware issue
Pinch to zoom needs to be way more smooth
5) the tablet version does not have any advanced option that used to exist in the symbjan version
So please change this also.....
6) the ui of the normal version is in general laggy
U need to let go of some of the transition effects and stick to faster animations
Rest I believe this browser has the potential to be the best android browser ever even better than chrome if u guys work on it
Right now my choice is naked browser
Feature requests
1) 1click copy paste and go like naked browser and copy all like naked browser
2) link changes for paused downloads like loader DROID download manager
3) porting features from s60v3 versions

How about upload manager? That's what android really needs. You currently have to use opera to file browse and upload. This worked fine on winmo, I still Dont understand how its not considered a basic feature in android.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for you feedback.
About the "upload" function, do you mean something like "Skydrive" on winmo?
To browser files on your device, you can use file manager in UC Browser (Setting-General-Downloads-File Manager), and the official release of UC Browser 9.0 will have UDisk(a free online storage function) so that you can upload and keep your files on the "cloud":fingers-crossed:
Yup and I almost forgot to applaud u guys for the browser stability this is a very stable browser and the download process is far more stable than any other browser be it default or third party this means no page reloads due to lack of ram etc
In terms of stability this is the best browser ever
But ui is laggy in the normal version so not using presently
Tablet version is so fat good will report after trying
Also what happened to the forum mode u guys had on the symbian version single most used feature by me
Reimplement it here
There was another feature which was pre loading pages wherever the word next etc appears and displaying them as continuous pages in the same page
Came in handy when reading or viewing vuclip
Reimplement it on Android
These are the unique features to ur browser u gotta bring it to the table

A very big apk and eats too much RAM. And it is slower than I thought. Totaly useless on my huawei sonic. Even stock browser is much better.
Hey fellows,
Check out the official release,hope it works great on your devices. You are also welcome to give more feedback. Thanks again.
