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.

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.

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?
Best web browser to replace the crappy one that comes with the SGS4G?

Also, i love the gesture feature on dolphin.

I personally like opera mobile web browser, and with newest flash it has flash support. Pretty snappy too
I have tested the speed load on pages on every browser for Android and found Skyfire to be the fastest so that's what i am rocking for the moment

I like Opera. For me it is the most like a "real" web browser and beats the stock web browser on the phone by a mile!
So far, none "wow" me:
Stock browser -- can't exit, four-window limit, can't easily clear "private data"
Dolphin -- cookies don't keep when screen locks, have to re-authenticate
Miren -- runs a background process for no good reason, haven't played with it much
Firefox -- seems very slow, even though AdBlock Plus is sorely missed in the others

Agreed.
I'm running Dolphin though, cause it honestly has a balanced featureset and I'm happy with the speeds.
Mini opera. fast and menu are easy to navigate.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Personally I use Opera mobile it's just very snappy starts fast and it seems to have an adblocker built in which is very nice. The UI in my opinion is better than any other browser on the android marketplace.
I have tried all the browsers except Skyfire so I have no opinion on that.
Mirren-I didn't like it just wasn't as snappy seemed to be slower than opera.
Firefox-Is just embarrassing I love the desktop version but they have a long way to go for the mobile version. It starts slow like 15 seconds to finish starting, no flash support you have to download a plugin, and overall is very slow.
Dolphin- I love this browser and it would be my second choice for you to try out. I would go with Dolphin mini since it's smaller. I didn't really notice any difference between Dolphin HD and Dolphin mini besides Dolphin HD supporting add ons.
and does anyone know the difference between Opera mobile and Opera mini browser?
Thanks everyone for your input.
.. +1 to all of you... I'm going to go with Opera just because I've use it on my HTC Touch Pro 2... and the stuck one would be better if it would let you delete the pre installed bookmarks...

Just download skyfire and delete the bookmarks from there. It will be gone from the stock browser when u do that.

I use Dolphin as well... dig the add-ons and the gestures.
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.

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

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 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.

Is it just me or do guys notice a pretty bad glitch when scrolling down web pages on the default browser? Just wondering if their is a way to fix that problem other then to use another browser like opera. Reason I ask is because I only use the default browser to pay online bills and that glitch while scrolling it's really annoying. Don't think it'll make a difference but I'm using infused 1.5.3
thanks.

If its the "checkering" you are talking about... All you have to do is let the page load all the way. This issue has been discussed already. The other browsers might do it less, but I like the stock one better.

There is a modified stock browser that you can use. And see if it fixes ur problem.

Here you go. It's slappyjoker's post. Download it, backup the original (I just rename it to Browser.apk.stock) and drop in the modified browser and you're set. Use root explorer to do all of these steps of course.

Just wanted to point out how terrible it is. Had this phone for a few days now. . .
No home page option. Must go to windows and click the page.
No mobile view on and off option. So if a site doesn't have a mobile alternative we can't view the original. Or if we like the regular site more. Out of luck? Why would they scrap that option? Is there a way around this?

That's odd, I love Opera.
Actually, I hated it at first. But I have Opera Mini now and love it. I think it's the zooming.

Here's a nice little article on Android browsers.

Saves 75% of the bandwith of a Android browser.
I use opera mobile. Has hardware acceleration making it very smooth. Plus you can enable Turbo which speeds up webpage loading if you are on edge.
