What Browser?

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

+1 Miren!
10Char

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.

[Tweak]Better CM7 Browsing

I was looking around to find something to improve the stock browser on CM7. It is really laggy for some reasons.
I found a solution in the Desire Z area. Download this patch and flash it in Recovery.
Here is a video of the patch in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DZnie3u0YI
Now the browser is smooth as butter, it is comparable to Opera smoothness. I think this is the best we can get for the moment.
Enjoy !
Credits to KnekKeR for the tip.

Wow thanks dude!

I know miui is already pretty damn smooth but would this work because I believe miui is cm7 based. Would be interesting to see what it does

Does it work on MIUI?

Latest MIUI has this feature built-in as far as I know. But you could try and report.

Good find.
But opera is better than stock anyway and can sync bookmarks to desktop.
And I know dolphin wins most android browser reviews.
How come u stick with stock browser?

Yeah, opera us better
I use the stock for quick browsing, fir example when I just want to quickly check something , it loads much faster ar the start up than opera.
But opera is better for all rounded browsing

For me nothing compares to stock browser. It loads pages faster, it's more intuitive than many other browsers and I got used to it. With this patch it's perfect... well almost. I only miss the pinch to switch through pages like stock sense browser.

Which browser do you use on your Sensation?

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!

Dolphin HD , its kinda like chrome but with flash support

Not Google's fault. Adobe said they won't be supporting Android going forward.
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/flash-chrome-for-android-beta.html?PID=4003003

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.

HTC style web browser

Hi guys, hope someone can help. Does anyone know if there is HTC style Browser (I.e where it renders the text into one column) rather than keep having to move a full web page around like other devices that I can use? I always use htc's because of this but the thought of not having this in other devices is driving me mental, anyone have any ideas?

Dolphin Browser HD - https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Opera Mobile - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.browser
Firefox - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
Chrome Beta for ICS - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome
Boat Browser - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.boatbrowser.free
All excellent browsers and much better than the default HTC one. Turn on 'text reflow' or 'reformat text on zoom' in settings to get the single column rendering.
Click thanks if I've helped you.

UC Browser works good and faster......

opera is smoother

Thanks for replying finally I found another good browser that can do what I want, many thanks!

Hey there, I have the same need, I love the htc browser.
Can you please tell me which browser you found that could behave like the htc one?
Cheers dude.

What browser do you use? HOX

What internet browser do you use on your One X, and why? I used stock ICS for about two weeks, using Chrome beta now and enjoying it.
I tried to put a wide variety of browsers I found in the play store, choose other and please tell us what you use and why.
Thanks

I still use and prefer Chrome beta over the Firefox beta due to the interface. Chrome just "feels" right. But the latest Firefox renders pages stupid fast. Chrome's not bad, but I really wish it was that fast.

Chrome feels different than the desktop version obviously, but I really like how they did the tabs. That's one thing that annoying me coming form an iPhone was having to go to a menu to open my tabs instead of a single button on the screen.
Hi fellow Iowan

I use Maxthon mobile. It's fast....

You can also swipe at the edge of the screen to change tabs.... Anyway, my problem with chrome right now is that its a little too laggy for what I was used to on my galaxy s ii so until that gets fixed ill be using dolphin HD, which runs very smooth for the most part.

Stock..
- great battery life
- renders more sites correctly from my bookmarks 100% stock vs 95% chrome
- Labs feature
