This is by far the fastest browser I have ever seen, it also has flash support and if you want to increase the speed of the browser just go to the browsers settings and select opera turbo, in which the webpages load at a drasticly fast pace. I highly recommend this browser.

Just downloaded it and it seems really fast, even with only 2 bars of 3G. Gonna test it out with 4G tomorrow and see how fast it really is.
Do you know how to make it full screen without the notification bar?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I believe to make it fullscreen, you have to go to the browsers settings and click navigation bar to off. That should make it fullscreen and remember if you want powerful speeds, just turn on opera turbo in the settings.

It really is an improvement over the previous version, and it really flies.
There are some annoyances though. YT app is not loaded automatically after clicking on a YT link, Flash 10.2 crashes the browser, the auto complete in the address bar is unbelievably annoying. It also needs an easier way to change the User Agent.
Hope they can fix that in the future.

Wildfire must be pretty slow or something, as it's super fast on my Nook Color and my Nexus One.

Go to Dolphin Mini and you will have no complaints!
Both Dolphin Mini and Miren browser are really light and fast. Personally, I've been leaning towards Miren.
The slowness of the browser comes from the fact that it supports and does playback flash content. If you disable flash plugin from the browser or change it to on-demand, you will see the browser loads and responds must faster.
And Steve Jobs is right, Adobe Flash is a a piece of garbage.

Other than constant popup of ads, I've yet to see any value of it. But I digress.
Adfree + on demand flash will change your life.

Ive looked for Flash settings to change it to on demand, but where are the settings?
I like Flash because I was with iOS emailing url's to myself to check out later on desktop, but I have been going to desktop less and less as my phone becomes more and more powerful. Pretty soon all I will need it for is office and NAS use.
You won't find flash settings. It is a generic setting called 'Plug-in setting'.

Flash is available in Dolphin HD on demand. I've only used Dolphin HD; I don't know if it can be done in mini or the stock browser.
Thanks for all the input guys, i have a quick questions what's the difference between dolphin mini and dolphin hd? And ive set my plugin setting to on demand on the deafult browser and also have adfree, but it still seems at times the browser is considerbly more laggy then the browser before froyo. Btw dolphin mini is very good thanks for the suggestion.

The android download will redirect you to the marketplace app.
I really like this design. Most of the plugins seemed to work today that i tried and thankfully people stuck w/ fennec long enough to even have some plugin's ready.
I hadnt seen this mentioned anywhere hope its usefull to someone.
Someone mentioned no flash support. However this link will show you how to set it up so links for youtube open in the android youtube app.

To sync go to your Firefox on your desktop (new version) menu>sync >write down your number.. Download firefox mobile from link above. go to sync options enter your code and all your bookmarks, contacts etc. will be imported pretty nicely.
Doesn't support flash. I prefer the stock browser. Thanks for sharing though.

Tested for a while yesterday. Dolphin HD is still my favorite.
Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
Started testing it today. Being a pc Firefox fan, this really has a lot of potential.
Add-on's are one of the best features of Firefox, and to have that functionality on the mobile version is really appealing.
I haven't tried many other alternate browsers, so I don't know what level of add-on type of functionality the other popular ones have, but...
Syncing to the pc is also a real plus.
I'm sure it will only get better, with any video-related shortcomings being addressed in the future.
I heard the beta was slow/battery hog, etc... This release seems pretty fast/stable, so far.

Not sure why they would bother releasing (even in BETA) something that doesn't support Flash.
I'll wait, but for now, stock and Dolphin are the only ones I use.
Its a decent browser but without flash its useless for me. I dont need pretty designs and cool add ons, just show me what the website is supposed to look like, and all of its content. Too bad to cause I have been using desktop firefox for many a year. I imagine they are gonna fix the flash thing, I hope anyway.

Is there a way to remove the "suggested" add-on's from Dolphin Browser such as Evernote, TrustGo, Phonegap, and Pocket?
They sure are cluttering up my stuff.
Or are those like ads and that's part of how Dolphin makes its money?
Any input would be appreciated.
When I did use an play store browser I switched over to boat browser because dolphin started acting funny but now that we have ics I just use the stock browser because it does everything I need it to.
But when I did use dolphin browser I remembered that I was able to uninstall the plugins through the regular applications manager.
Also I just downloaded dolphin browser to check it out and it seems like it might be cross app promoting because the add ons aren't installed they are just available for download through that link

Ugh, this is a frustrating development. Dolphin is my favorite browser, but I'll abandon ship if I can't drop the fluff.
I find these 'default' add-ons too very annoying!
Giving me again the feeling of not owning my device . .
Of course I gave dolphin a try after realizing an enthusastic usership,
but now I'm starting to doubt the concept!
Gestures and voice could be nice but I would again have to learn
one technique to be able to control just one app . . .
Btw. the scrolling works nicer with the default or firefox - even chrome
is now giving me a better feeling.
To accept one Amazon bookmark in firefox is bearable.
Still I'm too curious how the default add-ons (especially the antivirus!)
If you install the advertised app, it will let you remove it.

Yup, I agree. These ads are really getting out of control. Sites with invasive advertising like these are the reason I use Adblock on my PCs.
Seems auto rotate to landscape and back to portrait after the ads load will fix this by forcing redraw of the page. Xda web devs: just add a function to fix content div heights after the page is done loading.
