Have you ever tried Dolphin? I love it. Very fast and has plug-in capability. I especially like the Desktop emulator plug-in.

Thats all I use is dolphin. Its been very fast, clean, smooth, all around a great browser.

I was using dolphin till today when I tried this. With dolphin you need to delete a preferences file before you can use it with flash, next worked right away. I may go back to dolphin though as I prefer top of app tab browsing as opposed to needing a separate screen to access tabs.

Hmm, not a good start for me. I just downloaded and tried going to one of my car forum sites. It won't let me login. When I out the cursor in the username and password fields it pulls up the keyboard like it should but even though I am typing nothing is being input in to the field.

I love the mobile Firefox 4, it's nice to have everything since between pc's and phone so that you can continue whatever you were doing wherever you are.

Anyone use Skyfire?
In case you forgot, you can run Google Chrome on your ICS device now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en). There are some goodies there which are not available in stock browser and you might like it better.
Agreed, it is smother than the stock browser, plus, you have all your chrome bookmarks automatically synchronized. Also, you can access the pages you have opened in other computers and devices (which is cool and scary at the same time).

It's by far the greatest advantage of Mobile Chrome... being reading something in my laptop, then leaving and continuing to read the same thing, effortlessly, is pretty cool.
Or if I run into a page some cool Android app while on my computer, instead of e-mailing the link, I just open Chrome Mobile, and there's the page.

It will NEVER support flash.
And I still find that Quick ICS Browser is faster and more responsive.
Best selling point for Chrome to me is the bookmark syncing. Thats huge IMHO and I think it should have been implemented from the start with Android.

Google's new Chrome web browser for Android will never get support for Adobe Flash, Ars Technica reports.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise, since Adobe previously stated that it was finished working on Flash for mobiles.
So effectively, mobile Flash is officially on the way out. Even though Adobe itself has given up on it, that hasn't stopped plenty of manufacturers from continuing to advertise Flash as a selling point for Android.
Ars Technica deftly points out:
When Google eventually moves to replace the default Android browser with Chrome in future versions of the Android platform, devices that run the operating system will likely no longer be able to play Flash content in the browser.

SkyRocket [ICS The Real Thing Rom]
Last I read, Flash was going away. In favor of HTML5? So not everyone will be supporting it in the future.
I'm using Chrome Beta also. It's not 100% ready for prime time, but works pretty well so far. And the fact it syncs bookmarks with my home Chrome browser is HUGE for me.
But I wish it were easier to add mobile-only bookmarks. It's not super friendly in that area yet. I love Dolphin browsers home page where I can add quick bookmarks.
So OK, how is it that I can't find it on Play? Is it because I'm on superlite ICS and if so, is there a way I can trick Play to show me everything?
I tried Chrome and it is ok, but has handy features missing. I'll stick to stock, which has all my Chrome bookmarks synced to it anyway, it is super fast.

How were you able to sync your Google bookmarks to the stock browser? I tried a couple months ago and couldn't figure it out.

I'm assuming you're on GB still since you mentioned you tried a couple of months ago. Using the ICS browser it automatically syncs your chrome bookmarks.

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

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'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..

The stock browser is best for performance as far as I can tell, but Chrome is just awesome so I use that.

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.

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.
As Samsung continues its apparent march towards closed source am I the only one surprised at how bad Galaxy S4 browser is? It is slow, unresponsive at times, has no real fullscreen option and quick settings have been removed. It also has no ability to sync with Google accounts. Am i the only seeing this?
It has its perks on Some things then there's other stuff like you mentioned that doesn't make it good. I usually use chrome but I'm just trying to find another alternative that has flash options besides xscope and firefox. I really love dolphin browser but can't figure out how to run the flash option for it.

I agree with you, that's the browser I'm using a well. It just seems that Samsung took a huge step backwards with the GS4 browser when compared to the GS3.

It seemed OK at first but the more I use it the more awful it seems.
It can't reflow text so you have either zoom out and read tiny text (the text size option helps a bit but not as good as reflow) or zoom in then scroll sideways back and forth. The f-ing SGS1 had this!
The window manager (ie. tab selector) thing takes forever to come up. Does anyone else have it refuse to come up at all? (sixftsix apparently) That happens to me about once a week.

I agree the browser does suck. I recently started using Lightning Browser and it is really fast compared to the stock one. I even got flash enabled although it isn't the best.

You do have to access the settings menu and enable flash after you install it.
I've only been using it about two days but I'm considering purchasing the paid version.
If you guys give it a shot let me know what you think.
