Firefox/Dolphin Browsers - Thunderbolt General

Just downloaded Firefox and like it. Some of the add on's are real handy. Have any of you tried it out yet?
I hardly ever start new post. Is the correct place to post this?

I used Firefox for a bit today but decided I really like my tabs at the top in Dolphin, so sticking with that. I'm just used to it, though.

I love the mobile Firefox 4, it's nice to have everything since between pc's and phone so that you can continue whatever you were doing wherever you are.

If you scroll to the left in Firefox your tabs are over there.

Dolphin mini
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I like using just straight up Dolphin or Dolphin HD, thing I don't like about Firefox 4 is that there's no flash

I've been using Dolphin HD Browsed since my nexus one days.
I Love It.
My search history and cache delete on exit, so my wife never knows I been looking at porn. LOL
in the stock browser you have to delete manually

Anyone use Skyfire?

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.

Double tap to zoom doesn't capture text

The double tap to zoom doesn't capture the text I want to read like my old droid x did anyone know what could be the problem? sucks it was very useful on my droid x and on the droid charge it barely zooms in at all

Are you talking about the browser? If so, download Dolphin HD from the Market because that browser is MILES ahead of the pile of crap stock browser. It also has the feature you're referring to.
I would recommend the opera mobile browser...by far the best of the half dozen out more browsers I have tried...takes a bit long on launching but the scrolling and menu bar are amazing

i have tried almost all the browser's there is in the market and i def. think dolphin browser is the best!
I haven't tried Opera but a lot of people say it's a nice browser and directly competes with Dolphin for the spot of best mobile browser Try them both.
+1 for Dolphin. Been using it since I had my Droid Eris.

Updating broswer?

Is there any way to update the broswer from 2.3.3 to cm 2.3.7 ?
I am running the rooted stock 2.3 gb and I have alot of broswer problems. It will just close out for no reason, or if I get a phone call while on it it will end up going back 2 pages. So can I update it without upgrading the rom?
I would run cm rom but I hear there is problems with data, sd mount.
I tired a adb push but when rebooted it forceclose n wouldnt open but maybe I didnt do everything right or it cant be done.
Aby help u can give id be thankfull

Those are the worst 3 if you ask me ... Sometimes the best browsers aren't the ones with the most features. Try some more.
Personally, I like Boat Browser... there's a lighter version called Boat Browser Mini also. But again, there are LOTS you can try.

I totally disagree, dolphin is by far the best browser out there. Opera isn't far behind.

Browser for ICS

Can anyone recommend me a good browser to use? I'm in ics using the uniporn rom.

Ice cream sandwich browser plus in the play store. It's free. Has some cool shortcuts and a lot of useful settings.

I know lots of people prefer ICS+ but It just keep messing up my usage. Just somehow, I don't like the way how it worked on infuse. The side selection menu is all the point.
I would recommend Chrome beta or the system browser. They are both pretty good.
The system browser has the side selection which is very convenient, even it's only five fixed selections it's enough. I like the way how you can switch between tabs in the system browser easily.
On the other hand, I noticed a speed advantage in Chrome beta. The tab sync function is excellent if you use Chrome on your computer. Totally "Cloud". Also the magnifier function when you click on some close links save you some time double tap to zoom in.
The others are gingerbread era browser. Probably among those I would recommend Opera mobile.
Just some personal suggestion
Dolphin HD is stable and ez to use

The BEST ONE will be Chrome Beta. You can download it from Google Play.
It has a lot of great features.
I use it and I would say it is the Best browser for ICS for me right now.

I must agree. I was using ICS browser plus... but after using Chrome beta.. I must say.. it is probably the best browser I have used.. It's great how it links to your home computer's tabs if you're using Chrome at home too.
Chrome Beta for the win!

Bookmark syncing is a welcome addition as well. Chrome ftw
I used to dislike chrome for android... but it now works very well. I vote chrome, it makes the browsing super snappy compared to the stock one which takes forever to load xda and such.

Same. It's a lot faster than the default browser and it is still in Beta and only available for ics roms. One of the things I like about it is that it syncs all of my bookmarks from my pc, which is a really cool feature. My vote is for Chrome as well.

Next Browser

Definitely the fastest browser I have used check it out.

Have you ever tried Dolphin? I love it. Very fast and has plug-in capability. I especially like the Desktop emulator plug-in.

I was using dolphin till today when I tried this. With dolphin you need to delete a preferences file before you can use it with flash, next worked right away. I may go back to dolphin though as I prefer top of app tab browsing as opposed to needing a separate screen to access tabs.

Hmm, not a good start for me. I just downloaded and tried going to one of my car forum sites. It won't let me login. When I out the cursor in the username and password fields it pulls up the keyboard like it should but even though I am typing nothing is being input in to the field.
