Original samsung browser wont work very well. What browser should i use?
I've been having nice results with the Dolphin HD browser so far.
Dolphin hd 4.0 and firefox mobile
Firefox Mobile for me, feels very fast but the fonts seems blurry sometimes.
Dolphin HD. Has the option to add AdBlocker... among many other add-ons.
I'm running Skyfire for the moment, it seems faster than the stock browser. I rried Dolphin as well but Skyfire seems a bit more stable and faster to me, but I have no benchmarks to back up my impression.
Dolphin HD all the way
Tried FireFox two days ago, but it was slow loading pages. The stock browser and Dolphin HD loads 50-80% faster.
Firefox mobile is fast...but the fonts are blurry because it takes a while to render especially if zooming.
Skyfire didn't seem as quick for me when zooming in.
I still ended up going back to Dolphin HD... I love the gesture support and use more of the add ons like shake to switch tabs, etc. I also think their interface is uch more refined
I use xscope, fastest browser for android, dolphin is way too bugged for me

Oooo... I must try this!
Xscope is inferior in almost every way to dolphin.

Xscope is way faster than dolphin, it has less bugs, and it can sync his bookmarks with the stock ones, which is a big plus for me, as I use the bookmark widget of launcher pro plus.

Any one manages to get the full bbc iplayer site workin over 3g?
Not the mobile version. I keep being redirected to the mobile site and then It states can not stream over 3g. I try to switch the agent to desktop then bbc states that my phone is not supported :s
This is on both stock browser and also Dolphin HD
Just downloaded Firefox 4 beta 2... just released.... it seems to be MUCH faster than beta 1 which I only tried yesterday. Rendering of text and zooming is quicker also. I can't seem to sync with the desktop version though....

Does it support Flash yet, though? If it does, I'll take another look. Otherwise, I'm trying to decide between Dolphin HD and xScope 6. xScope is a lot prettier, with the glaring exception of bookmarks, which it handles horribly - generating a sort of dynamic web page to list them rather than having a proper UI. No bookmark folders either.
I can't find any speed comparisons between Dolphin 4 and xScope 6, but subjectively they don't feel much different.
anyone know if there is a way to get the tabs browser on the sgs captivate? the tabs browser has the windows button next to the address bar and would be more convenient than stocks. (need stock due to some weird rendering issue with some sites)
Mate its just the stock android 2.2 browser with a few minor and mostly cosmetic changes.
But I've found its considerably slower (in opening web pages) than the browser on my 2.1 milestone.
Xscope6 is the best choice for me
Another vote for xscope. Its the best designed browser in terms of usability, speed and features. Would love to have plugin support though. I would consider switching to Dolphin HD if the interface wouldn't be so ugly (and oversized). Looks like an mp3 skin from 5 years ago. The fullscreen toggle in xscope rocks as well.
Has anyone noticed a huge scroll lag in their current browser of choice. am using Miren browser but it got to a point that is bareble usable. And don't think I noticed this issue on the first day I had my new tablet. Opera seem to be the only one with a smooth scroll but I wonder if its related to the tablet or what .
P
Miren does not work well on HC tablets. The stock browser is okay and other browsers utilizes stock engine is fine (Dolphin, Maxthon).
Opera is smooth too.

As is Firefox. No issues.
just changed to this rom but now the internet is agonisingly slow. changed to Firefox tho a bit quicker still not very good. if I put my sim in my incredible s running icecold sandwich its very fast so deffo a Rom issue I think. any1 with same problem or best browser revcomendation for this rom? thanks
Sounds like a radio or RIL file issue, not a browser issue.
You using Wi-Fi or Mobile Network?
Is it the same with Chrome too?
Internet is fast on mine - either stock or Opera and Wi-Fi or H+
google chrome ofcourse
100.000+ browsermark score and html5test.com (343points?) best mobile browser
Thanks for the replies
Download chrome beta and it is rapid compared to AHRD stock and firefox
Thumbs up
edit: no flash support for watching sports streams tho
Question with dolphin browser? Is there a way to listen to music on one tab while browsing another?
I wanna say no.. try using 2 different browsers in multi-window..that might work

nope this cant be done, it would be laggy on most tablets with 2 windows even with the notes quadcore 1.4.

No this works fine. Just tested it out with stock Internet Browser in one small window streaming BBC radio music programme and then running Chrome in a second, large window (80% screen size). Everything works fine. No stuttering on the music and the browser works perfectly smoothly with multiple tabs, no lags. I don't even have a fast internet Wifi connection (around 4Mps total).
Don't have Dolphin but, if this is what you want to do, I'm pretty sure it will work with stock plus Dolphin as well. Just use the Multi-window apk to make the two browsers work together.

In addition if you use the advice in the following new post and pin both browser windows then you can keep the music playing in the background while browsing full screen.

Could also try OverSkreen Floating Browser.
Phone: Stock Oneplus One
Since I upgraded to android 6.0.1 I noticed in chrome all the videos I would watch online, the sound would be out of sync by around 1 second, tried other webpapges but all seemed to have the sound delay.
I then downloaded opera mini browser so see if the problem was only in Chrome, but unfortunately Opera to had the 1 second sound delay. I then moved on to Firefox which seems to work perfectly and there is no delay in the sound however, it is my least favorite browser and if possible would like to be able to use chrome. With the success of firefox, i though the problem lied in not having flash on any given browser, so downloaded Puffin web browser and still no luck and sound delay was still apparent.
Any suggestions on a possible fix? I have noticed twitter to has the sound delay problems when i try to watch videos in app however the facebook in app browser (which pops up when you click on a link which would normally open up a browser) works perfectly fine.
