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.
Hi there!
Lately, I've been using CM7 RC-2 and it sounds impressive.
However, I'd like to change the Default web browser to Dolphin HD that i think is the best browser and have a shortcut to it at Home screen [Bottomside 3-Bottoms] using the same world logo that default web browser has.
How can i do it? And how can i set Dolphin HD to be the default web browser? (In case i run the Navigator default)
Does anybody know how to set dolphin hd as default Browser and use the same icon (globe) as a shortcut?

is there a way to trick websites to think that you are using your computer and not your android. for example when you goto megavideo it takes you to some jobo games web. or when you goto sidereel.com to watch tv shows it only shows you links that you have to pay to watch while when you access it using computer it lets you surf megavideo and videobb links (free).
is there a way to fix this?
Try the skyfire browser available from the market. It handles in-browser video very well.
One great browser which allows you to browse the full desktop versions of sites is called Miren Browser, in the market. It's free and has a pretty nice interface.
I use dolphin hd... It gives you an option to switch between desktop and mobile.

Thanks guys i have dolphin hd browser but i have the same prob.
Ill try others see if that helps
EDIT:
Miren browser worked the best. With my prob. Better then skyfire and dolphin hd.
Ps. Opera mini is the fastest browser, but there is no exit button and will run in the back eating your ram.

+1. It's really nice that you can set the user agent.
So the other day I noticed that whenever i click a youtube link in twitter/facebook or on either of their mobile sites. Now for instance when i open a youtube link in QR droid for some tutorial it gives me the option to open with Dolphin / Internet / Youtube as opposed to it just being Dolphin / Internet when im using twitter or fb. I've cleared the the defaults for Dolphin HD browser and youtube just isnt showing up and ive uninstalled the updates for youtube and reinstalled them and i obviously can't reinstall the app so im kinda stuck and looking for a fix
any help is appreciated
im also using a droid incredible 2 on verizon, non rooted 2.3.3
bump..........
Hello
I have a problem on my desire s with default browser and dolphin hd browser, these 2 browsers can't open pdf files online, on opera there isn't this kind of problem because it automatically starts download of pdf file.
Dolphin hd opens new tab, but after loading, it just show blank page, is there any option in settings that could help me with this, because dolphin is good browser, to me better than opera?

Like always Google is our best friend: PDF Viewer for Dolphin
thx for trying, i've installed this addon, but unfortunately it doesn't help :/
still blank page in new tab...
Do you have adobe reader installed?
yep, and it works properly, i can open dloaded pdf files, but in browser, pdf files that should be opened in new tab just show blank page
Strange. I remember that I had the same problem several months ago (I am using Dolphin as well) but do not quite remember how I fixed it.
Testing now on my current device is working perfectly with the add-on. PDF files are opening in a new tab just fine. See if you have the latest version of Dolphin or change the ROM if you are on custom.
thanks for your effort, i do already have the latest version of dolphin hd, and i'm not going to change ROM, this is my 1st smartphone and i'm still getting to know with all of this , maybe in few weeks
thanks one more time..
