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

Oooo... I must try this!
Xscope is inferior in almost every way to dolphin.

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.
Dolphin Browser HD 5.0 Beta is now open to the public! Get your copy here: http://bit.ly/ktpGe0
So this will install over dolphin 4? Can't run them together? Does it retain settings and bookmarks?
It does overall over dolphin 4 and reservations settings.
I can't believe hope fast it opens.
So far very, no problems. Looks very promising.
Dolphin Browser HD v6.1 is available on market with new webzine features and more stable performance.
It is another big update of the HD v6.0, the page loading is fast, and the gesture works great. But just one thing, the webzine list should be enriched.
Hello
I have a problem on my desire s with default browser and dolphin hd browser, these 2 browsers can't open pdf files online, on opera there isn't this kind of problem because it automatically starts download of pdf file.
Dolphin hd opens new tab, but after loading, it just show blank page, is there any option in settings that could help me with this, because dolphin is good browser, to me better than opera?

Like always Google is our best friend: PDF Viewer for Dolphin
thx for trying, i've installed this addon, but unfortunately it doesn't help :/
still blank page in new tab...
Do you have adobe reader installed?
yep, and it works properly, i can open dloaded pdf files, but in browser, pdf files that should be opened in new tab just show blank page
Strange. I remember that I had the same problem several months ago (I am using Dolphin as well) but do not quite remember how I fixed it.
Testing now on my current device is working perfectly with the add-on. PDF files are opening in a new tab just fine. See if you have the latest version of Dolphin or change the ROM if you are on custom.
thanks for your effort, i do already have the latest version of dolphin hd, and i'm not going to change ROM, this is my 1st smartphone and i'm still getting to know with all of this , maybe in few weeks
thanks one more time..
I have been watching shows on amazon instant video on my galaxy tab 7.7 for a few months now using dolphin browser mini with no problem.
Just last night I was watching Sons Of Anarchy on prime on my tablet.
However starting today all I get is a black window when I try to play a video that has been purchased - no video or sound.
If you click the free preview button however the trailer will play - but the full, purchased video will not.
I have tried dolphin browser mini, dolphin browser hd and boat browser on a galaxy tab 7.7 with honeycomb 3.2 and
on a galaxy tab 2 10 inch.
Nothing but a black screen on both.
I repeat - clicking on a trailer or preview button brings the video right up - but videos that have been paid for will not play - just a black window.
This is clearly intentional on Amazons part and pretty sleazy if you ask me.
Have you tried using other browsers such as firefox or chrome?
