Dolphin HD

Much as I love the stock browser on Honeycomb (especially the bookmark sync), it has become incredibly laggy in places, especially entering into text fields on forums etc. I tried most of the other browsers on the market, and at the moment the new Dolphin HD beta is working the best for me. You can find it here:
http://home.dolphin-browser.com/tunny/Download.htm
Pages load quickly, scrolling is smoother, text entry less painful. What browsers are other people out there using? Is stock working OK for you or are you using another one? Would love to find the best browser for android tablets.

I use dolphin on my desire HD,and have a epad on order, is there a tablet version or do you use the same one as for phones

I believe it's the same one, I don't use Dolphin on my Desire so I'm not completely sure but the download page doesn't seem to distinguish between phone and tablet.

Works good as long as you don't try to edit the favourites bar, it crashes

Yeah crashes a fair bit. I've not found a browser yet which works properly with the XDA site. It's strangely laggy, and virtually unusable via the eee pad.

android has always had problems with some forums, xda and androidforums for example :/

I had been using Dolphin HD browser, as the stock browser is a bit flakey with mobile view even using the about:debug.
I've since switched to Firefox 4 with the phony add on. Works great. Only drawback on that one is Flash isn't working yet.

It's not the browser that's causing the input lag, it's the ASUS keyboard. Swap it for the stock Android one and you'll see the difference straight away.

incorrect.. laggy whatever keyboard used.. I've tried it with Asus, stock android, Flext9 by nuance and Thumb Keyboard.. all laggy.. viewing and posting using Firefox with the same keyboards is much better

This was posted in another thread but I'll put it here too. If you want to stop the lag for the XDA forums then change the style option bottom left of the page to 'classic' instead of 'XDA 2010'. Seems to run fine in any browser then.
I've gone back to the HC keyboard with the stock browser now after trying out Dolphin HD. It's got its faults but works well most the time.

I'm using firefox because it has a sessionsaver... all of them crash occasionally.

Sure I read some where if you use dolphin and contact the developer they will send you the apk file for the tablet version of dolphin HD

Yeah that was me, but it doesn't work anyway; As soon as you try to edit the bookmarks it crashes

Opera mobile
I heard opera browser is one of the best browsers for the EPTD, there's a you tube video showing it silk smooth on the galaxy tab 10.1v like ipad 2 performance, no lag at all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdGRa_QvyF0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

I'm using the Dolphin HD browser and after a few niggles re. bookmarks I am now really enjoying using it. No crashes or lags. Really like using the different gestures which can be modified to whatever you want. e.g. draw a letter "B" (roughly) to get bookmarks bar. Plus a lot of different add-ons and themes. Deffo my no. 1 browser at moment.

can you set the stock browser to desktop view?

so far for me Opera has been working with only a few images having problems. might be worth your while to give it a try.

How do you change the stock browser to desktop view? I've entered debug mode but found no option. same thing with firefox. I've only been able to run dolphin in desktop view so far.

Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 is released to Market. Guys

HI, Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 has released finally to the Android market. I have been waiting for such a long time, although that I have used their 4 betas.
I can notice that they have made much progress in the UI, settings and the performance (fix many bugs).
First, I like the smooth tab bar. It’s better to let the tab bar stay on top and hide the address. But it’s ok now. If themes are installed, the bar color are changed. That’s great for me.
Second, they have done much work on the Quick menu. Bookmarks, history, settings, add-ons, themes and gesture are included in the Quick menu. The background color has kind of texture.
Last but not least, I can successfully browser most websites without FC or hanging. It means that their performance has been much improved. It almost closes to perfect.
So download it, I’m sure you wouldn’t regret. LOL.

Been using the betas and now the final myself.
Bravo Dolphin, great work.
I don't browse the web that much on my phone but from my experiences so far with betas, this is the best browser out there at the moment.

Dude, i have seen your post just now. what's new in your post is not the new features in HD5.0. they already exist in HD4.6.1.
but thank you to remind me.

I just downloaded it. I've been using the dolphin mini browser for a few months now. I hope it's better.

not as fast as th trusted opera mini, and it's ability to sync bookmarks with any phone I use. I know on opera mini the speed compromises the quality, but opera is way faster than any other browser in my opinion.

I loved Opera for its speed and usability, however I never liked how it handled flash content, or the fact that it doesn't.
Not always having the default web site was a negative for me as well.

I am liking HD 5.0 though.

Sweet gonna go try this browser

The biggest change is there is no google inserted Ads any more,
There is no need to buy Dolphin license to block Ads.

Well, This browser is really better then the ones that comes normally with android?
And if yes, what special does it have?

Dolphin Browser HD

Gizmo's
Premium Paid-For Android Browser Now Free
Updated 18. July 2011 - 17:43 by r.schifreen
Dolphin, the gesture-based web browser for the Android platform, has ditched its $4.99 price tag on the premium version, having received a nice chunk of venture capital funding. The premium version is now free, and the previous free version, which was ad-supported, is no longer available.
Dolphin is a web browser for all Android phones and tablets. Among its unique features is a gesture recorder that allows you to create custom shortcuts. So, for example, by drawing a W on your screen, you could go straight to your work email.
To download the Dolphin browser, the easiest option is to browse the Android market from your device.

}

And the good thing about this is that the market will update your other version to the premium version.

I didn't realise this new version was a premium one in a previous life . I just thought they gave the previous one a new logo and maybe added one or two new features. So what does the 'premium' version bring to the table that you couldn't do with the old one? I've always had the gesture-based bookmarking of web pages, for instance. Or was the old 'premium' version more of a donation-powered version, something purely to support the developers?

The old one was ad-supported, with ads in the bookmark bar.
Dolphin keeps crashing on me every so often, though, on my stock Transformer. That needs to be fixed.

Can't believe no body has linked it.

I like dolphin browser and all, but this kinda bothers me.
Why does it open up a new search box when there's clearly the address bar? Weird...
i wanna be able to type in the address bar

Dolphin. Is still for smartphones, doesn't have graphic acceleration enabled yet like 5.0

This makes sense.
in their promotional video on the market site had tablets all over the place so i thought it was all good with tablets. maybe not

i used to use dolphin then switched to firefox because of the extension support, gotta have my adblock plus! then i find out that it doesn't support flash now i'm back to stock browser + adfree. hope stock browser will support extension soon.

Tablet version is due out soon but this one works well on the TF

Uhm, I still get input lag especially on big forums like XDA. I'm not sure if the Dolphin team changed their webkit like Opera did.

Can someone please post the dolphin pad apk. Thank you

No way to sync with chrome bookmarks (which is not the same as google bookmarks) and no bookmarks bar. Too much stuff as addons. Bad, uninstalled.

Im not sure if its an HC or a transformer problem but for D:HD when i used the swipe action meus on the left and right it would stretch the page or compress it until i scrolled and it reformatted the page. Didn't do it on my evo so i assumed it was an HC problem and hence stopped used Dolphin after i submitted a bug report and screenshots. In the pad version they made the menus in to overlays instead of physically shifting the screen content which seems to have solved the problem. That was the only problem for me with the HD version so now i'm extremely pleased with the pad beta and have actually made it my default browser (i used to keep it unassigned so i can choose between Opera, firefox, dolphin and stock depending on what i needed to do, pain in the ass)

Flash is only available for devices that can use the official Adobe Flash. I am still checking for a way to integrate flash on 4.3+ devices.
I am also thinking of adding Ad-blocking support.

There is a hack that supports dolphin browser over the Nexus 5 thread. That might give you some ideas. Like the browser, it's really fast. Sites like theverge that normally take forever to load, load extremely quickly with this browser.

So far I like it!
I would recommend making video's enter fullscreen like on iOS it would make it flow a lot better and a lot of browser don't have that. It will make it stand out more.

Does it have Chrome bookmark sync? If not I'm not interested.

stock browser... give it a try...

hi all,
don't know if this has been mentioned before (if so my apologies) but just wanted to share this
I've been a bit frustrated with the browsing speed of my S7, I've always used chrome (mainly for integration with lastpass and just because... well, it's chrome right?) but was never impressed with the speed.
Tried a bunch of other browsers (dolphin, maxthon, UC, firefox, ...) you name it.... same feeling...
A friend of mine has an iphone 7, comparison of browser speed was... humbling... Even to the point of considering switching to an iphone!
Started googling about this and somewhere someone on some site mentioned in the comments section of an article about how great iphone's are compared to android that the samsung stock browser (version 4+) in combination with an adblock is "all you need".
To be honest, until that moment I had never even used the stock browser... It's stock so it can't be good right?
Started using the stock browser in combination with "adblock fast" and never looked back... this browser is amazing, did the same tests again with my friends iphone 7 and where before the S7 was slower every time, now it was fastest in about 80% of the cases!
No lastpass integration but the fingerprint login built into the browser works on most of the sites I've encountered so far. Not perfect but the speed makes up for everything.
So here it is, I don't want to start a browser-discussion (everybody has his/her own preference) but for the people who never used the stock browser you might want to give it a try and see how it works out for you...
Cheers

It also beats Google Chrome in one of the best benchmark tests - Vellamo Mobile Benchmark, and provides a much better feeling of use than Chrome and any other browser. Scrolling is so much better.

Stock browser with Disconnect Pro is working pretty well. I'm using ir since S6 and I'm happy.

I would like to use stock browser but I need bookmark sync with chrome and this is not supported
Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

Bookmarks sync via Samsung account works. Install samsung sync addon for Chrome on PC and after starting sync your stock Android browser will sync bookmarks tab. Of course, you have to login Samsung account on the phone before you do all this.
Btw, stock browser is good but needs text formatting .

Which version of the samsung browser are you guys on? Im still seeing 4.0.10-53 on google play, i have the 930w8 if it matters and nothing on samsung's galaxy app store. I had to download version 5+ from apkmirror

What's new in v5.0?

According to ApkMirror descriptions, 5.0.30-13 is for Android 4.4+, 4.0.30-43 is for Android 5.0+. I think it is a bit confusing. Both have the same variant date, which is even more confusing.

Do you have an "exit" option on the stock browser ? Screen print from my S4 attached - I don't have it on my S7 G930W8 ?
