And why do you choose that one?
Chrome because its fast.
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk
Chrome beta now. No flash is kind of a drag and there's purple artifacting, but it's super smooth.
i have used maxthon, opera mini, ucweb, dolphin hd, and stock browser.
now i use maxthon.
i think opera mini is the fastest browser i have used. but maxthon is more comfortable and convenient. dophin hd is wonderful, too.
many people in china use UCweb, but i think uc sucks.
i am going to download chrome, although it is a beta version. it's my favorite browser on pc!

Not Google's fault. Adobe said they won't be supporting Android going forward.

Opera mobile : around 65% less data.
Pretty, stable & fast.
What else?
Maxthon - small, fast, flash support use hosts file to block ads
Dolphin - adblock sometime doesnt work.
Firefox - sometimes loading so slow but good adblock plugin.
I've used every browser users recommend it here for some reason I always end up using STOCK.

I usually stick to stock browser because I hate getting ask a thousand times "open with: " and checking the "preferred application ticker. Currently trying out Chrome though.
Theres already an open thread for this.

Just throwing this out there to see which broswers everyone is using. I personally like the stock one. I used firefox for a little bit but since it was only still in beta it wasn't the greatest. Ie wouldn't format correctly with zoom and radio buttons and txt boxes wouldn't function properly. I haven't given dolphin a try or any other browser that might be out there. Let's see what your opinions are.........

I use FireFox just because of the FF sync with my laptop and desktop, but it sucks that I have to switch to the default to watch flash content.

+1 Miren!

depending on device, I use many:
Low end phone (huawei ascend on cm7) maxathon browser, renders pages astronomically faster than any other browser
Mid-end phone (htc hd2 -hyperdroid cm7) stock, kills miren/skyfire/maxathon/dolphin on my phone, easily. The flash integration is amazing in android's stock browser is more than enough to get the job done, completely content with my 6 second loading time for massive pages.
Tablets (transformer-stock 3.1 rom) I have no clue, the stock browser feels like the ipad in responsiveness and rendering (great thing) but occasionally "freaks out" and acts glitchy, have yet to experiment

Miren
.......
What is it about Miren that everyone likes? I installed it hoping to configure it differently than the stock browser for use with certain websites. I quickly found out it is just an overlay of the stock browser and the settings where the same for both. I did like the tabbed feature it added. Can someone tell me if Dolphin is the same, an overlay that uses the stock browser?

Opera Mini is the best, hands down.

Try Dolphin HD. I have Miren and Dolphin but prefer Dolphin. Then again I don't have a problem with the stock one...
the stock one is fine by me....
Although I don't use....I believe Dolphin HD is prob. the best alternative
Firefox (which I am avid Firefox user) is HORRIBLE....well not horrible but horribly slow ATM.....I will wait til' they develop it more
I use stock........nothing seems worth it to trade for (although havn't tried Miren, so I will)
I kept going back to the stock one as well...

I'm experimenting with Dolphin Mini now. Definitely seems better than Opera mini. For just general browsing I like it because of the reduced data consumption.

Then you haven't tried Miren. Seriously, I won't ever use stock again.
Instant forward and back, use volume keys or swipe direction to do so. That sold it for me.

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

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.
Hey all,
I've been stuck using the HTC Sensation stock browser because it's a barebones, simple browser. However, the speed of the browser is not where I would like it to be (even after clearing all data and clearing cache).
I tried Dolphin Browser HD for a while, but it ran a little too sluggish for me and I don't need all of those features.
I use Opera Mini when I'm not in wifi range.
However, I'm looking to upgrade my WiFi-only browser. Can you recommend a lightweight, practically barebones browser that's very fast and has flash?
Thanks will be given
i find most browser pretty much average. I use Chrome right now.
Although a bit sluggish since its Beta, it loads pages quite fast.
Try max thon or ics browser you can find them on the market

I can only recommend you Opera Mobile, the latest version is really fast and responsive, it isnt barebones but i find its better than stock browser for multiple tabs, i have 22 openned right now and using only 200mb compared to 5 tabs and 250 on stock browser, also it seems to render the pages more like a desktop, unfortunately its not very good with flash like Youtube, a bit choppy. Have you tried Boat Browser? its another good option.
As above says I prefer boat browser or boat browser mini.
Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
Thanks for all of the suggestions, people!
I've been testing out Maxathon and Boat browser.
Both are very good! Hard for me to choose which one. I also love Chrome browser now that it's out of beta, but it's very heavy on resources (storage space, phone memory, processor, etc).
I like Opera (not the mini) as my full time browser. Easy to use bookmarks. It loads quick.
I use dolphin mini, it's got great features but is nice and small and light. Tried chrome but it was ridiculously big, about 50mb. Dunno why as I went back to dolphin mini and there's perfect in my eyes, simple browser. Used it on my Desire on ginger bread and still like it on ice

For quick browsing on the go, you might want to check out the new browser "Lynx Browser(Free)" at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eejim.app.lynx
It does not load images by default and in addition, you can also turn off javascript for added speed boost.

Hello Explorers,
After trying out many web browsers on my htc explorer(off course rooted), i have arrived at a conclusion or somewhat confusion
" Nobody is perfect" yes it applies not only on us but on the applications we use .
so my point is no web browser is perfect
Some have beautiful ui but lack speed
some have speed but no flash :silly:
some have both but are laggy and heavily loaded
some drains your battery in no time,while some of them have all of those what we need,but does not suit on the tiny screen of our beloved explorer
thus give your suggestions,which browser makes u love the internet :laugh:
I'm pretty happy from Dolphin mini, but anyway that was the second one that i tried, heard good things about chrome, but no flash, whyyyyy.

Flashed CM9 and the stock browser is pretty awesome (mainly due to the lack of wi-fi spots. "Save for offline reading" feature is great). Also it doesn't weigh 30 megabytes. So, 4.0.4 stock.
I´m using Dolphin in cm7 rom.
opera stands out among all the browsers till date
ICS stock browser!
Dolphin.

Hey there everybody I am currently using dolphin browser and find it is not very smooth when I first open it. I'm relating this to the sensations inept processor and lack of ram.
I was thinking of using chrome as my default browser but have experienced keyboard glitches with the new Swype keyboard beta (which rocks btw).
The Firefox beta seems very good so far as well, I will continue to test it out and post what I think.
All in all I guess I just want to know what you guys use and find the best. Let's discuss!

before updates it was awful(personal opinion)
that's all
edit:now i noticed that you are talking for jelly bean roms.ignore my post
I use Opera Mobile Browser.
Constantly I read about people having problems with browers. They say "Chrome has graphical artifacts. Firefox doesn't load the mobile user agents properly. Dolphin does some other goofy thing...etc etc etc." The list goes on and on.
I've never experienced any of these problems that are commonly complained about on XDA when using Opera.
Try Opera and Opera Mini..
They are good.
Maxthon Browser.
I personally choose boat browser over all after testing all the other browsers available.
