iam looking for Browser as fast as the Default Browser But with Better interface and features
I tried opera browser it's very laggy and slow and dolphin for pad not that great too
any recommendations?
Have you tried fire fox? Works well enough for me. I tried the two you mentioned as well as maxthon. I ended up liking fire fox. Really is just a personal choice.

I'm satidfied with native browser, but I'm mostly working with Mozila FF due to syncinc with mobile and adn desktop browser. I'm missing "secret browsing" in FF on mobile version.
I installed FF and had a strange problem it sometimes does not open pages says not connected to internet the same pages can be opened on stock browser

FF does not support multi window
FF can import bookmarks from stock browser but not into folder (actually you cannot even create folders, I guess)
but
FF can handle php links while stock cannot: if you have a link which hides a php script to fetch the file, with stock you download the php script, with FF you download the file
So i have both
Alternative Browsers to stock or bloatware
A couple that I like are Sleipnir Mobile and Maxthon
Both are available through the Google Play store for free.
I use Dolphin for my phone, but I've noticed that on my Note it won't recognize some jpegs on websites as photos, and I can't copy them. So right now I'm alternating between it and Firefox. I tried Chrome and it kept crashing me. I stopped using Opera on my phone but I might try it with my Note, but on my phone it was rarely faster than Dolphin. I've never used Boat before but perhaps I'll try it. Thanks.
You should try naked browser, it's free, simple and very fast.
l like boat so far; I'll try the naked maybe it's more sexy

Been using dolphin since 1.6, but want a change. Suggestions?
You could try xScope, fastest browser in most reviews
I use Skyfire.
Great features and the speed is also very good
Have been using Skyfire since I got my X10, very fast and nice browser.
And the flash tab is very usefull in some cases.
However since yesterday I have started working with the Xscope 6 browser.
And I love the zoom function by just swiping. Have not seen this function in other browsers. Some of the functions I don't love so much, but still a fast and basic browser.
If you visit alot of flash websites (why would you ? ;-) ) I would recommend Skyfire.
Otherwise try the Xscope.
Both are very nice.
my favourite browser is Dolphin HD
fast and very comfortable to use
Try Opera Mobile 10.1 beta (Android 1.6+)

Maybe its just me but how do you control the zoom in dolphin hd?
In the old one it had + - buttons that showed up when my touched the screen but now it just seems to be double tap to zoom in with no option to control just how much or little it zooms.
Annoying on my chess site where the board is either far away or too close to see the whole thing....
In the Dolphin Browser you can activate it in Settings. It was already checked when i had Dolphin but maybe its unchecked in yours. Dont know how it was called but it easy to find. I like the Firefox Browser but the Browser still need alot of work becouse no HTML5,no Zoom in and out Buttons and eats to much Internal Memory and RAM but i like the Style and how to switch Tabs and all.
try miren browser (miui browser)
i've tried the default android browser, skyfire, dolphin HD, opera, etc, and none of these come CLOSE to the speed of the miren browser. no lag, lots of settings, etc.
you can get the english version on the main xda apps forums. they're crazy over it.
the also seem to like the UC browser. i haven't tried it yet but people say it is good.

Thanks for the UC browser tip....installed it and its speedy fast...wow...loving it..and the UI is nice.
Definitely the best browser I have used so far.
I´ve installed and tried about six other browsers by now but none of them stopped me using Opera (mini or mobile) yet. Must say I used Opera as my phone-browser since 2006, so that probably makes it harder to get used to those fancy new browsers. Well I do like to try them, but it would take so much time to actually test and compare. If I had to choose right now, I would pick DolphinHD, for looks and feel (next to Opera .

Miren Browser (Uses Tabs...pretty good)

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.
Jim
...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.

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

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..

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".

Opera doesn't have a browser which takes advantage of honeycomb. The tab system at the top of the 'chrome' browser is too useful.
I think the only use would be for opera turbo if you have the 3G version of the transformer. Or until Opera releases a new version which makes use of the larger space available for a better tablet ui.
Don't try dolphin hd it keeps crashing when you go to the favorites bar, they sent me a more 'tablet friendly' apk but that's not very clever either.
Thanks boys.....looks like I will stick with the default browsers or firefox 4 when I get my xformer
have a unit coming in later today, gonna test firefox 4 as well as miren, which is currently my browser of choice on my evo, will get back with results
I have had my xformer for about a week now and have been using dolphin hd most of the time. I find the stock browser to be too laggy etc.. I also find the opera mobile browser pretty good. But for now it's dolphin I use most of the time....love the gestures....
firefox works flawlessly for me so far.

I had some issues with the stock browser (buggy a bit, nothing too bad). I use Opera on my Nexus One so I started using it on Transformer. It works great, although I do wish they had the tabs organized just like in stock browser.

I find the default browser to be too buggy and slow. Tried Opera and Firefox. For me, Opera seems to be the best, and it supports flash too. Only annoying aspect with it is, YouTube links in Opera automatically don't open in the app. Haven't tried Dolphin though.

I dunno if theres something wrong with my unit or if miren just doesnt work well with honeycomb, but it was pretty laggy. So far i'm using the stock browser for sites with flash and firefox4 for the rest.

I like Opera too, but it seems to want to open the mobile version of sites even though I have the mobile option set to 'off.'
Firefox here.
I use Firefox (Fennec 5.0 nightly, actually) for everyday browsing because of it's excellent sync features and the fact that it has adblock on it I also like the fact that it saves sessions, so no matter what, you never lose open tabs. For flash, I use the stock browser, but it's crashed several times to the point that I've needed to restart my device. Not cool.
I wish opera mobile's flash worked, but it doesn't ,and Dolphin HD just crashes way too often to be of use to me.

[Q] Better Web Browser

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,

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

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!

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.
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?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
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.

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)...
