Face to Face: Interface design between UC Browser 7.4 and Opera Mini 5.1

As you may know, about half a month ago, the old brand UC Browser and Opera Mini have both recently released new version for Symbian. I have tried them and get amazing experience. The UC Browser 7.4 now looks like a wholly new designed mobile browser. That let me think of Opera Mini 5.1 also subvert its 4.x interface design.
Opera Mini has an interesting function, Speed Dial. With 9 customizable sites directing to any web page. Now UC Browser gives its answer - the renewed navigation different than ever. Not only can I select any site by clicking its icon or title, but also choose my favorite site and put into My Shortcuts(UC's implementation of Speed Dial). My Shortcuts have 8 block, while Speed Dial has 9. While UC Browser has both system of traditional Navigation Bar and Bookmarks, Opera Mini give them all in its Bookmarks. Considering UC Browser is almost the only browser have these site links besides Speed Dial and Bookmark, it keeps me from inputting URL all the time.

The Quick Links design makes a good feature that I can see them both horizon and vertical and quickly find where I want to go. This give more freedom for me. So Opera Mini picks a similar mode to calculate my definition, which depends on my choice.
UC's Navigation
While the navigation bar of UC Browser is becoming navigation square, the Cursor Mode has replaced the Common to become the default Operation Mode, what makes the browser more similar to the desktop browser. At contrast, Opera Mini performs on the desktop view as well as before, because they have the experience of product a real desktop browser.
UC Browser Opera Mini
However, in UC Browser, the cursor mode can be still found at the adaptive view, which is more or less better than ever. Opera Mini has less competitive in that mode, which they call Mobile view. The reason maybe OBML is designed for desktop, and UHTM is designed for mobile. As they say, UC Browser cacan display WML and XHTML directly, but Opera Mini cannot.
UC Browser Opera Mini
After I download the English version, a different starting page is there to choose the region to belong. That means all people in the world now using the same version, and the UC server may detect what sites he want to go.
Opera Mini just released Symbian version several days ago, so it cannot yet be a hard threat to UC Browser, for the latter has many features the former hasn't. For example, the most stable download manager I ever seen on a handset, an uploading system when I access some forum, and so many browser mode, such as Night Mode and the Free Copy function.
Night Mode
Yes, the last one is what I want to emphasize. After some months, the Free Copy comes back to Symbian. Free Copy was a great adventure in UC Browser, but it was once removed from UC Browser 7.2. Now, I can select any part of a web page, and copy to my clipboard, it seems let me copy everything on the web to my phone, so excited! Compared with Opera Mini, whose copy and paste is limited to the operating system, but no pictures and text mashup.
Free copy
Nevertheless, the UC Browser has a new feedback interface, this interface is catching up with its competitors, Opera Bug Report Wizard, which yet cannot be found in Opera Mini.

I'd glad to introduce these two browser to you. If you have just used one of them, you should try the other to find some different things.

Why does it need access to contacts. I tried the 7.2 English version from the market and I liked it a lot. But uninstalled due to privacy concerns.

You need to host this somewhere else cause even after registering on the host site it wont download.

Does Dolphin5 have GPU acceleration? Only Opera has been having the GPU acceleration and that was why it was so much faster and smoother.

Really love the new version. Might switch from Miren.

Would be nice if the application icon was the same color as the theme when you change it.

I like how the bookmarks and settings are accessed by shifting the webpage left or right. I would like to have more theme options, like a Dark or Honeycomb-like design.
There's one caveat though; webpages kinda re-draw themselves when they are scrolled. They should be fully rendered so the experience will be better.

Loving it on my Droid. Best yet.
But the Honeycomb stock browser still wins because of the Quick Controls. I wish Dolphin would add navigation buttons to the right side slideout menu since there's all that room on a tablet. It'd be just as good as quick controls IMHO.

No text reflow after pinch to Zoom on SGS2.
It was a great function on HTC Devices in Std Browser. Opera mobile also supports this.

Always been my choice of browser.

I would really like to know if this is true.
I would also like to know if there is any truth to Dolphin being an overlay so to speak, with the phone still using the stock engine. Or, if you install (say) Firefox, you get a new engine, from what I hear?

How does it fare speed wise? Any benchmarks yet?

Userscript support?

everything else about the update is great, but i really want to be able to choose my own home page. I hope a future update fixes this......

You can. Or won't it stick? Is it a bug?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

You can set your homepage. There was a bug in the betas preventing that, but it is fixed now.

No GPU acceleration, and it will only be coming to Dolphin on Honeycomb according to what I have read.
To the devs: all of the Dolphin 5 builds have all kept stopping while loading some pages. Not a crash, just stop loading the page. Otherwise, definitely better than the old version, which was great in itself

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.

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.

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)

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around
Nice app, recently reset my phone and this could become one of my main browsers. It loads mobile websites really fast on my sort of low end phone (such as the mobile versions of facebook, google, youtube...etc) Also, I noticed that pages don't actually show it loading, but rather just load. Don't know if out is a bug or helps performance, just putting it out there.
A problem I had was;
Whenever I press the menu button, nothing happens.

First off, if you're on ICS or above, there is a loading animation but due to problems with backward compatibility it doesn't show up on devices running gingerbread or older. Or are you saying the pages load abruptly?
Second, the menu button does nothing because there are no settings yet, the buttons you see are the buttons you get right now. I'll be adding a menu with settings options in the next update but for right now there's nothing.
Glad you like it

It offers a better UI. I haven't thoroughly tested out the speed of Naked Browser but both browsers seem pretty similar in speed, the advantage of naked browser being the start time because it doesn't load a page. However, (and I know some like it that way), naked browser's UI is just something I can't tolerate. Sure it's meant to save space and load time, but it's not very intuitive for a simple minded user. I'm careful with aesthetics because I think they're important, and while naked browser and lightning browser offer the same thing (insane browsing speeds), I think we target different audiences.
Naked browser is for those who could care less about UI and are 100% focused on speed and power (most geeks ).
Lightning browser is for those that want the speed but don't want to sacrifice the look and feel of other browsers (the people that don't like naked browser)
@polobunny, that was an excellent question, hope I answered satisfactorily. And I don't wish to start a mini-browser war, hopefully we can keep from fighting

I assume this will be a big drawback for some. Naked Browser does support Flash--I believe Firefox is the only other one that will run Flash on Jelly Bean. I know the trend is supposed to be away from Flash, but there are so many sites that use it one cannot realistically avoid it.
