What browser do you use?

Just looking to see what browser everyone uses,I've tried a few different ones and haven't found the "perfect" one yet I like the sync feature that firefox has to sync my bookmarks and tabs,specifically the "real time" sync of pages I have open my PC. But for some reason firefox is real laggy on my bolt,Does any other browser have that?

Miren. It's insanely good. I set flash plug-ins to on demand, location off, and its amazing. http://market.android.com/details?id=cn.miren.browser

Firefox on a bolt... Wow. Firefox has been slow and funky on any android phone I've owned.
I agree with the Miren browser suggestion. I've been using it for many moons.
You may want to try out XScope too. It's a speedy feature filled browser. I purchased dolphin xd and used it for awhile, but once I found Miren, I uninstalled the dolphin and never looked back.

Love the stock browser the best.

Dolphin mini is fast.

1. Dolphin HD. I love it.
2. I sure thought Firefox would have been better. It looks and feels great but it is SLOOOOOOOOOOW.
3. WTF doesn't Google have a mobile Chrome browser? Seriously?

I use skyfire. It's a pretty good browser.

+1 to that

Miren
Minimal, easy flash, good looking, no stupid gestures
.eschew obfuscation.

Opera Mobile

I've tried them all and while all have some good features I finally landed on xscope...

I use Miren or Dolphin HD, I just can't decide between them.

Opera Mini on 3G - Opera Mobile on wifi.

been using dolphin hd, but guess I'll give miren a chance.

Google made the stock browser ;-)
I use stock browser if it's AOSP, but I hate the Sense changes to it so I use Dolphin on Sense.

after playing with Miren for a bit, definitely a nice browser. Don't know why all the browsers want to be light blue or light green though.
Only thing seems missing is private mode.

I vote for miren too. I thought the new FireFox was supposed to have a private mode, but don't see it.

I would love it if they eventually pulled it out as a Market app like Maps and Voice so Sense users could have the option of using it.

I like this idea. The sense tabs view is pretty cool though. I like the pinch out to tab view. One of the very few things I miss on aosp.

Ice cream sandwich browser plus in the play store. It's free. Has some cool shortcuts and a lot of useful settings.

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

The BEST ONE will be Chrome Beta. You can download it from Google Play.
It has a lot of great features.
I use it and I would say it is the Best browser for ICS for me right now.

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.

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

I use Chrome because of synch simplicity too. Nice to be able to pull up recent pages from any device I accessed.
I tried Dolphin. Didn't see much difference though people claim it is lighter and faster.
Dolphin and Chrome don't support Flash. I use Firefox Beta for that. Regular Firefox seems crashy. Not that I use it a lot but it is nice to have for testing.
You can get Flash from Adobe here... You can't get it from the Play Store any more... The stopped supporting it.

I use Maxthon as my default browser now. Good look, fast downloads, stable and now they offer cloud support which takes from the sync that Chrome features if you use Maxthon desktop or Maxthon for iOS

new contender
I use naked browser. Lightning fast. It got XDA front page attention a little while back. Written by one of our own. Fast, flash, but few frills.

I'm a fan of Firefox. It's not as fast as, say, naked browser, but it's stable and it's not owned by Google.

Naked Browser is not owned by Google and it is a not for profit app.
On the other hand, Google gives major funds to Firefox so in a way Firefox is pwned by Google.
Dolphin, Maxthon, Boat...most Android browsers spy on you.
Naked Browser does not spy or monitor in any way and never will--not even any ads.

Quickest browser?

Hi,
I'm fed up with Chrome browser on my Nexus S. Way too laggy for single core.
What is the best lightest, quickest browser for Nexus S now?
I have tried Dolphin but don't really like the layout. Prefer something minimal similar to Chrome but with no lag.
Is boat browser still going? I remember that from a few years ago.
Any recommendations appreciated.
I'm currently trying out Helly Bean FYI.
Cheers.

Me Gusta!

I am a bit of a purist, and have used the stock browser more than anything else. I do like the smoothness of Opera and the quickness of Opera Mini, however Opera is so large, it can be slow, and Mini doesn't support flash. A few weeks ago, I tried Naked Browser, and it has become my daily driver. It's minimalistic, which I like, and quite quick. Only thing I don't like, and this minor, is the icon. So I simply change it to the stock browser icon (Holo HD launcher), and I'm good to go.

Firefox is the way to go.

i use opera mobile... what is the difference between mobile and mini?

i found the default browser of Cyanogen/slim bean really fast ! Not only because of loading time, but also with the side-pie system !:good:

Try Naked Browser. It is very light and doesen't look fancy but it is by far the fastest i've ever tried.

That makes two of us! (Did you notice post #8?)

I'm using Opera Mobile. I found the stock browser was okay, but lacked something that I can't remember now. Mobile also supports Flash. I will give Naked a try though.

Sadly, i didn't!
Believe it or not, but i don't like the Naked Browser icon so i changed it to stock browser icon too.

I gave naked browser a go in the end but just didn't like it. Didn't seem any faster than stock to me and that address bar looked awful.
So it's stock for me. Seems to combine speed with slick functionality.

I'v been using One Browser. Not sure if it's faster than the Stock, but it's been doing a good job for me so far.
I remember Opera Mini been fast too.
