what browser does everyone use?

Any suggestions?
I use dolphinhd, but don't like the way it handles bookmarks.

try Opera mini

Native Browser
Mini Opera
Miren Browser (Uses Tabs...pretty good)
Scott

I swap between Dolphin Browser HD and the Miren Browser.
Miren: Here.
Dolphin: Here.

I've also tried:
Xscope 6
Dolphin Mini
Miren
I like the Dolphin Mini interface (UI), but even though everyone says it's fast, it seems slow to me, so I've been using Xscope almost exclusively.

...ben using dolphinhd too, got into the habit with the WPDN as it worked best on that... I like the plugins for dolphin too...
also recently found infinity browser, but keep forgetting to really try it... I guess that I'll have to check out the miren browser now as well...

Dolphin Mini, it seems to work better than any browser I've used on my tablet. I've used xScope, Opera, native, Dolphin, and Opera. Dolphin Mini is quick and I like the gestures function.

Dolphin HD

DolphinHD seems to work pretty well.

I use dolphin hd, mostly because I got caught up with it after I installed the shake plugin (movement based tab switching) and no matter what browser I use now, I shake it to switch tabs now :/ really irritated that it got ingrained into my 'process' so quickly. I've had to put dolphin hd on my phone now too.
No problem with bookmarks as I have it sync with my google account.

I love the slideout bookmark tray in Dolphin...once it is setup it is quick and easy. I also like the gestures.

Opera Mobile... I like being able to sync bookmarks, etc with my desktop browser.

I have used
Stock web app for the TNT
Opera
Xscope
I mainly use the stock web app because the others always go to the mobile version of webpages...

You can change Xscope behavior, so it will identify itself as a desktop computer.

Dolphin mini also. I imagine that Dolphin HD also?
Jim

I use Stock, Dolphin is too slow for some sites such as comic book sites. I have tried Opera mimi but could not get around the screen resolution issue. I wish the stock support multi-tab.. very eager to wait for the browser from Honeycomb.. like a lot like the Chrome..

Skyfire fan. Tried Dolphin HD and it's very good too.

It's been awhile since I've seed stock browser, but it does kind of have tabs, or at least tab-like behavior. The icon at top, that looks like overlapping pages.

Yes. The only difference between them is the name they use for the user agent. Xscope uses "computer"; Dolphin HD, "desktop".

That icon when pressed shows the thumbnails of the open windows. Just like safari on the iPhone/ipad.

Which browser do you use?

[Q] Better Web Browser
I'm looking for a web browser for my TF that views pages in actual web form, not as mobile pages.
I think with a screen this size it should be possible, right?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Skyfire has a desktop mode.

I use Dolphin, can set user-agent to Desktop.

Some people have suggested Dolphin HD as good replacement for the stock browser. I'm just not clear about your problem? My stock browser displays the webpages as my PC browser would. You can check Settings|Advanced and User agent string.
Hope this helps,
rio

I'm using Dolphin HD and like it better than the stock one.
~DC

I guess maybe I'm missing some steps, or haven't tried a few of them that you've mentioned. Just noticed that in my firefox browser (and also the stock browser) all of the pages (MSN, Facebook) are showing up in their mobile forms.
I'll try a couple of those you mentioned and see if I can find them...Thanks!

try Firefox

Dolphin HD
This should be a poll
If you get ADW EX you can adjust the standard (useless) browser widget to 2 columns by 7 rows (looks a lot better), then when you first click on a thumbnail it asks you which browser you wish to use, click your preffered item then you have a custon full size browser of choice widget.

Lately I have been experimenting with different browsers because I am not happy with the stock browser on Honeycomb because it seems to have a lot of issues and slow performance when rendering. I know that a lot of people have been recommending Dolphin Browser HD, and I have tried that alongside Mozilla Firefox. Which browser is everyone else using on their Transformer and how do you like it?
The thing I miss most about the stock browser is the sync with your google chrome bookmarks, so if anyone can suggest how to get that to work with Dolphin Browser or Mozilla, I would appreciate it. Mozilla seems to have the best rendering speed out of the two, however, Dolphin seems to have more features and a better overall interface. Both Dolphin and the stock browser have problems rendering this forum, but Mozilla seems to do it with ease. However, it doesn't seem as though Mozilla is proportioned right for Tablet use yet.
I guess each of the has their positives and negatives, which is why I want to see what everyone else is using and their thoughts.

I use all of them because I don't like any of them. Every one has some problems. The best is probably the stock one, but it doesn't have adblock and when I turn on flash some pages turn into literally hell because of ads. Firefox on the other hand is fast but has very few options and scales images very poorly (this forum looks ugly on it for example). Opera is strange (especcialy the tabs are strange). Dolphin looks like a bloatware.
I hope to see full desktop browser on Android some time. With extensions and such (Firefox mobile extensions are laughable, even adblock doesn't have any options).

to me the stock browser seems more and more like chrome...is it just me?

All Android browsers are really inferior... Right now I go back and forth between stock and Firefox... Don't like either...

stock is as fluid as it gets

I tried Dolphin... but to be frank, it definitely does seem like bloatware. Its overall pretty awful. I keep it installed just because I use it for some websites that the stock one doesn't work properly. But thats rare. And I don't care for it.
People keep saying that Dolphin is "optimised for honeycomb" but I really don't think so. If it were, it'd run a crap ton better.
I use stock. It doesnt always work perfect, and it has its flaws for sure, but its pretty darn fluid, the tabs work great, and its just a clean looking browser.

Stock for browsing and firefox for downloading .zip files
would prefer opera as its my desktop browser of choice but its just terrible atm on android

re browser's
I,d really like to like the stock browser, or dolphin (my usual favourite), but the opera mobile seems currently the only one that has that ipad floaty feel to scrolling. Why cant the others do this?

Dolphin hd beta 5 is awesome

Firefox with adblock is sweet. For watching Flash websites, I use stock or dolphin hd. I like opera too. I guess I will be using all of them as I see fit. That's what I like about android.

Most desktop like browser??

So i have find he stock browser, skyfire, dolphin, and xscope all installed
and i cant find one that works really well for all pages, like a desktop browser.
what do you all use for your web browsing?
i use the dock, and the typing in web forums is pretty laggy i dont know if this is a browser, or dock issue though...
my default right now is dolphin, but skyfire seems to handle more complex pages better

Havd you tried firefox?

I had the same problem.
The only browser that can load my university website and about a dozen other pages that I frequent is Opera Mobile.
The other ones all have big gaps in pages, won't download files and pages look messed up -- even Firefox.
I haven't tried Skyfire, but I tried all the others mentioned.

Have you tried changing the user agent to desktop in the stock browser (in settings)? Web pages always show up exactly as they should for me with this setting.

Lag in the browser is honeycomb specific ..happens on xoom and galaxy tab as well

Maxthon works very well..

Opera
Opera mobile have desktop like experience and overall very good browser

i have stock and maxthon installed and i use always the stock. Dispite the lag works pretty nice even for watching football transmissions.

I too don't really like any of the browsers, keep going back and forth when one does something that pisses me off I switch to another for awhile. I currently got Firefox, Dolphin HD, Opera, Maxthon installed and they all suck at different things. Overall the web browsing experience is pretty ****ty compared to ipad even without the flash, it's just so damn slow and laggy. Wish they'd bring out Atomic Web and Mercury browsers to Android, those both rock especially Mercury on the ipad.

anyone tried Dolphin for Pad? Its quite good! Replaced Opera with it!

I like Dolphin so far.

is this different than dolphin HD 6.0?

Yes and it's pretty ownage, I deleted Dolphin HD shortly after trying Dolphin for Tabs cause it ownz

Both Dolphin HD and Dolphin for Tabs work great. The stock browser is pretty good too. Just make sure you set the User Agent to Desktop.

Does no one elses dolphin have a weird graphical glitch when you tap in the address bar?

Since today I've upgraded from Dolphin HD browser to Dolphin for Pad. This new version was released yesterday and I like it very much! Since I already was a Dolphin user, this browser is even better dan the old one.

What's different in Dolphin for Pad?

It seems to work ok but I dont seem to have the "button" for gestures.....or am I missing something. Also how do you get quickly to the history without going through settings ?

In my opinion there is no a definite browser at this moment.
- No one has ad block but firefox.
- No one is able to upload files but Opera.
- No one has a private mode but stock browser.
- Opera is slow when showing pages already loaded in cache and it does not render pages until fully loaded.
- Firefox has an horrible square patron when scrolling. I don't understand why. And image scaling is quite bad. And don't support flash.
- Stock browser and Dolphin render quite fast as pages are loaded and perhaps are more balanced...
So at the end of the day I use firefox for regular browsing (due to adblock and a better tabs management in my opinion), opera when I have to upload something, for example torrent files to my transmission server, and stock one if I have to use private mode (specially if I have to access hacking and or scene blogs)...

Tap the arrow, top right side than do your gesture. I had to ask too and another member showed me.

[Q] best internet browser?

Hello,
I`m looking for an internet browser for my 7.7 tab ICS 4.0.4.
All browser installed like chrome, maxthon, stock, opera, skyfire, except Firefox, all of them has lag, or how should I say ... while scrolling up/down through pages the navigation is not smooth.
Firefox seems to be the best choise, clearly like safari on ipad, but eats a lot of RAM, sometimes reaches over 130MB of RAM with 5 open tabs.
So, here is the question: what browser do you use that didn`t gives you headache?
Kind regards.

You can try Dolphin. It got a lot of add-on cool features. For me, I always love the simplicity and slicknwss of Chrome browser.

I use Opera with my Austrian 404 ICS,,, No lag what so ever. Very satisified

For me boat browser is the best, love it!

Okay, 10x for replyes. After reconsidering your opinion, I must say that firefox still remain as the best "fluid" browser, but a RAM killer. Boat browset is amazing, less RAM killer and fluid.
Thanks again.

I tried all the known browsers so far,for me the best is Boat.Opera also is a good one but I find Boat faster in various pages.
I checked both of them with a stopwatch loading the same pages at the same time

I would use opera more (especially cos i use it on my desktop and love the fact that it syncs on Android/desktop perfectly). But the thing i don't like is the pinch and zoom. It lacks the ability to pan at the same time as zooming. Can't live without that I'm afraid.
Can't believe the dev team haven't added this.

dolphin and boat
I can't live without tabbed browsing, so i prefer the dolphin browser and boat, both are light(boat seems lighter) and not memory hogs like firefox, i would have liked to like firefox but i dont like their tabbed browsing approach. I also love the web support of dolphin, i found many websites that i would normally open with no issues in a desktop browser to have issues with some browsers(esp banking and secure websites) but they always worked without fail on the dolphin browser. So it is a tie for dolphin and the awesome boat browser for me...

Firefox with AdBlock Plus is pretty nice.

Best Browser for our Superphone

Dear Canvas 2 Brothers,
We all have our favorite browsers for PCs which have their own mobile browsers. But for some reason, the mobile browser isn't that good as the PC one of the same browser.
Our phone lags when using successful PC browsers like Chrome, Firefox etc.
I'm opening this thread to share your browsing experience and the browser you use and also to share tweaks to avoid lag and enable faster browsing speed.
Anything you post will be very useful for a lot of people in our community.

I always keep changing
So far have used Chrome, Chrome beta, Firefox, Firefox beta, Opera, Opera mini, Dolphin, UC, UC mini , Next, Maxthon, Maxthon Mini, One, Ninesky, puffin and of course our default android browser.
The thing i found was Chrome, Chrome beta, Firefox, Firefox beta start good but lag within a week though the history is removed and they occupy more memory.
UC, UC mini where excellent but of recent it behaves like firefox. Dunno why. But the pic resolutions are poor.
Maxthon and maxthon mini were excellent. I thought i met the ultimate thing but no... they too lagged after 2 weeks.
Opera for mobile is very good but they don't behave properly at times.
So, this gets a habit to change it from time to time :laugh: :laugh:

UC browser and Maxthon worked quite good for me. I have used Opera, Opera Mini, Firefox, Dolphin etc in past but finally stayed with UC browser. It quite fast when it comes to loading. Though there are always new app in market with some new things which needs to be tried and tested thats how we come to know whats new and good coming.

Maxthon
