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.
Miren, FTW

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.

The newest dolphin hd update is amazing.
I have the stock browser auto launching news articles from my readers as the page rendering is fast and nice. I use Dolphin HD to surf and search with.

Ok I just flash Ravers official stock rom + root and everything works great except the when I'm scrolling in the web browser it lags badly. The weird thing is when the keyboard is up and and I try scrolling it doesn't lag anymore. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Im having the same problem

What's the best browser in your opinions? I've tried stock, dolphin, and firefox. All seem to be a tad sluggish. It might just be me being picky since my PCs have always been blazing fast..

Have you tried chrome or opera?

The stock browser is best for performance as far as I can tell, but Chrome is just awesome so I use that.
A lot of compatibility issues were fixed with Chrome and Flash is actually dying away, so I'm going to say get Chrome.

Dolphin HD is the best. I can't stand Chrome or Firefox on the SR.
Been playing with chrome occasionally. Some sites align better, but most align worse than in dolphin. Dolphin seems most consistent to me. Hopefully chrome only gets better, I love the tabbing features.

Tried chrome its really nice, But I'm gonna go with dolphin hd cuz I got use to it

I haven't used chrome, but I've used every other browser and opera has been the best by far. It's the only browser I've used that will display websites in desktop mode without any problems. All the others would still display some sites in mobile even though user agent was set to desk top.
I want to try chrome though. It's what I use on the pc
Watching embedded, non-YT videos on Chrome can be a pain in the ass at times, but other than that, I find it pretty good. Dolphin HD is solid as well. Dolphin has a ton of (optional) add-ons and extensions too.
anyone figured out how to get Google Chrome on our beloved Charge?
I tried Firefox, but that seemed to be very slow...
It won't run unless you have ics or jb.

Dolphin just released a beta of a new engine. It's fast, and supports almost everything the Chrome engine does, but some features are obviously broken.

nevermind - for some reason, Firefox works really well on tweaked 3.0. I like how I can sync it with my PC browser as well...

im an avid user of boat browser but since ive upgraded to cm10 there has been many UI inconsistencies and things that do not work. i tired out dolphin beta and while it's a large download it's the fastest ive used soo far.
So.what's the difference.between this dolphin beta and dolphin hd with the jetpack add on for html5?

i tired the regular dolphin and it was sorta laggy and ate up alot of battery. this one seems super fast, could just be placebo but i urge you to try it out.
I've been using dolphin beta for awhile. Imo, it's one, if not the fastest browser on the market. I don't use any other browsers except the stock one when I need it to play flash. Highly recommended.

I've been a Dolphin user for a long time. I'm curious, what's the deal with Dolphin Jetpack. It's sort of like a plugin, but also a separate app? It sounds like it installs with its own icon that you have to use... or something. I haven't tried it out yet (obviously) as a few comments seemed to say they had problems with it.
Edit: Also, I assume Dolphin Beta is sort of like their version of nightlies?
I've been using dolphin since it's first release and it's still the fastest around.....IMHO. I tried Dolphin Jetpack and it loaded web pages super fast. Only downside is that it ate up too much battery. Since there isn't flash support on DB I've been using Holo Web Browser found here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891975). It's just as fast if not slightly faster as Dolphin is and plays flash wonderfully.
