Web browser problem... - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Hi there..
As you all know x10 has a problem with ram since it has only 280 MB
So I want to know is there any web browser that is fast, good and don't use much ram???
I've been using uc browser for a while and it has been amazing but uses big amount of the memory
That sometimes I can't open any other app or uc will restart
What is the best browser for x10?
Thanks in advance

for me i have tried almost all of them, i found that the fastest and lightest one for our device is opera mini, maybe its options is poor but for me its enough, at least very fast, very smooth, no lag when scrolling

I use opera mini and opera classic the best

[Q] Best browser replacement?

I'm still using the stock internet browser as of now, and I decided it's probably time for a change. I've tried Dolphin Browser Mini, not a huge fan of it, and my battery life seemed to drop considerably faster after using it, Dolphin HD doesn't suit my graphical "needs", and I'm just not a huge fan of the Dolphin Browser family in general. :/
So outside of those, what do you guys recommend in terms of internet browser replacements?
Just as a note; I would prefer speed over fancy looks and extras that aren't needed.
I would say miren browser

Opera mobile is really fast but it doesn't support flash yet.

That's great, but that thread is pretty much only the opinions of G2/Desire Z owners. I'm looking for opinions from everyone.
I second Miren Browser
I've tried Dolphin, Opera, Skyfire, and Miren. I always come back to Skyfire because it's the fastest for me and has all the controls I need right in front of me.

I stopped using dolphin anything and went with miren because dolphins browsers cause a partial data wake lock on my epic and others I have flashed locally, when it is in standby causing massive battery drain

Dolphin HD is better than mirren in my opinion, but dolphin drains battery very fast on the Droid X.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I've used stock, opera, Firefox, dolphin HD and mini, xscope and now Miren...
No flash in opera is a show stopper for me... Firefox doesn't do text reflow and dolphin HD I found bloated...
I settled on dolphin mini for a while - it's fast and has enough extra features to warrant using it over the stock browser....
Just recently tested both xscope 6 and miren... both v good, fast, tweakable, lots of features... settled on miren because I find it easier to use and I think it looks better.

Miren Browser for me!
While I actually prefer the stock, I do like Skyfire.

Miren browser for the win..
miren & ucbrowser.. both equally d same best browser
Looks like I'll be trying Miren.
Right after I get done with this essay. >.>
Thanks for the suggestions guys. (If anyone else wants to make their opinion known, feel free)
From my experience on the Evo, Dolphin HD has a lot of nice features, but ultimately its demand for resources caused it to be laggy often. Dolphin mini is a nice one from the same developers. It also has some neat features built in, like gesture control, tabs, and pdf save. Mini is also quite fast. Firefox beta is still in testing, and notably so with several glitches. Eventually the mozilla crew will get it.
All said, Opera Mini has been my favorite. If you enjoy a smarter text reflow experience, you will enjoy opera mini. Although no flash support, you can simply use the youtube app or the stock browser to watch video. For general browsing, mini has it all with all the speed.
the only thing you need in a browser is flash and speed. The rest is all up to the user, and whether or not you like the interface.
I find that Miren is the most user friendly for me. I like the speed dial on the homepage, and the new copy and paste is terrific.
I recommend skyfire for me is the best.

BEST Web Browser?

Best web browser to replace the crappy one that comes with the SGS4G?

Tried skyfire, but once I removed the stock browser I couldn't use bookmarks any more.
Also, i love the gesture feature on dolphin.

I personally like opera mobile web browser, and with newest flash it has flash support. Pretty snappy too
I have tested the speed load on pages on every browser for Android and found Skyfire to be the fastest so that's what i am rocking for the moment

I like Opera. For me it is the most like a "real" web browser and beats the stock web browser on the phone by a mile!
So far, none "wow" me:
Stock browser -- can't exit, four-window limit, can't easily clear "private data"
Dolphin -- cookies don't keep when screen locks, have to re-authenticate
Miren -- runs a background process for no good reason, haven't played with it much
Firefox -- seems very slow, even though AdBlock Plus is sorely missed in the others

Agreed.
I'm running Dolphin though, cause it honestly has a balanced featureset and I'm happy with the speeds.
Mini opera. fast and menu are easy to navigate.

Personally I use Opera mobile it's just very snappy starts fast and it seems to have an adblocker built in which is very nice. The UI in my opinion is better than any other browser on the android marketplace.
I have tried all the browsers except Skyfire so I have no opinion on that.
Mirren-I didn't like it just wasn't as snappy seemed to be slower than opera.
Firefox-Is just embarrassing I love the desktop version but they have a long way to go for the mobile version. It starts slow like 15 seconds to finish starting, no flash support you have to download a plugin, and overall is very slow.
Dolphin- I love this browser and it would be my second choice for you to try out. I would go with Dolphin mini since it's smaller. I didn't really notice any difference between Dolphin HD and Dolphin mini besides Dolphin HD supporting add ons.
and does anyone know the difference between Opera mobile and Opera mini browser?
Thanks everyone for your input.
.. +1 to all of you... I'm going to go with Opera just because I've use it on my HTC Touch Pro 2... and the stuck one would be better if it would let you delete the pre installed bookmarks...

Just download skyfire and delete the bookmarks from there. It will be gone from the stock browser when u do that.

Browser preference

As we all know, android has multiple web browsers like: firefox, dolphin, and skyfire, to name a few. Since I've been an android user, I recall sticking to the stock browser but since I've gotten my Infuse, I've noticed sluggish performance, especially the "checkerboard" with the stock android browser.
As a result, I've been using firefox, opera mobile, dolphin, and skyfire to see which of these proves to be a worthy replacement.
I spent one full day with each browser testing speed, download capability, flash support (if applicable) and overall performance.
I must say, in my opinion, that I've found Opera Mobile to be my choice. it's much faster than any of the other browsers and allows downloading of any file. (I've experienced download errors with the stock browser especially with file-hosting sites)
Any thoughts? What browser have you been using?
Sent from my Infuse 4G
For me Dolphine premium. And has good plug-in that can be access by sliding from the right edge if the screen to the right, like screenshot, brightness control, font size adjusters and more, and ability to change tab by gesture and more

The stock browser on the Infuse has bugs...I even exchanged my Infuse and it still happens..it causes my phone to lock up and do a soft reboot...I have no choice but to try another browser and Dolphin works great...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I have also concluded that opera runs best on my infuse. Fast and smooth as butter scrolling with no tiling. I really hope there will be an update to fix the stock browser though. I prefer the stock browser's integration with the OS.

I see the stock android browser worthless
Dolphin almost works as fast and accurate as my cognition capt....kind of let down over this..brightside is i have 2 more weeks...minus the 35$ restocking fee..thinking i might take a holiday.my maj. Complaint is how the stock browser refuses to resize sites...forums.. So i dont have to scroll side to side..captivate i double click and its fast and big. Yet its 4inch...a holiday sounds good but i dont want a bbq and bad batt. Life in my pocket either...its a fun year for mini tracking devices..woooohoooooo

I've also tested over several browsers and finally got to Opera Mobile. Here're my several cents:
* stock browser is kinda laggy and lacks of an ad block solution (except for host-file based or proxy server based, both are deficient); it also lacks a sync solution;
* Both Opera Mobile and Firefox Mobile support sync and ad block; Firefox is more feature rich because of its extension support but takes too much resources; Opera Mobile, on the other hand, runs much smoother and takes less RAM (in fact, much less!);
* Opera Mobile supports Flash plugin, which is a killer feature over Firefox.
Finally I chose Opera Mobile. It's adblock function needs me to build up my own url filter file (while in contrast Firefox has adblock plus that takes care of everything). But hey, I don't really care if it cannot block 100% of the ads, and all other advantages are much more important!
Actually stock browser does resize pages when doubled clicked it has to be turned on in the settings menu when in browser the auto fit webpages needs to be checked.

Firefox seems to take way too long to load... and it is huge. Opera seems to have the perfect blend of features and speed.

Miren Browser is really nice. I think the devs have stopped updating it though.
with the exception of gingerbread the android browser can be sluggish on the hummingbird. i use opera for any phone that isnt spec'd well, like the cheap android phones on sprint my friends keep getting. and if i have issues on the sgs and infuse on a particular webpage.
Boat Browser Mini works quite fast.

Umm have any of you seen how big even Opera mini is? Opera mini is no faster than Dolphin mini. If its faster on your phone then something is wrong with your phone.

Yes your right I was thinking of Opera mobile. Does Opera mini have flash? If it doesn't then its useless for me also! Dolphin mini does flash without even a hiccup.

Also what does size have to do with how fast it loads and renders pages?
Opera compresses my images, and dolphin browser's scrolling lags on my Galaxy Tab. For some reason, only the stock Android browser produces super-smooth scrolling. Everywhere else on my Galaxy Tab running stock, scrolling and performance lags.
Opera is considerably better and I can actually download from blackboard instead of a htm file.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
Opera mobile not mini. Mini tries to compress pages before you get them, but with mobile you actually get the file you want(not like an htm as the poster before me said.
Dolphin is okay.. but opera mobile works better in every way I can see. I just don't see how you can compare.. but please do. What COULD make dolphin better?

Dolphin mini is much better for me because of it's nice system of gestures.

The best Web Browser for our Explorer

Hello Explorers,
After trying out many web browsers on my htc explorer(off course rooted), i have arrived at a conclusion or somewhat confusion
" Nobody is perfect" yes it applies not only on us but on the applications we use .
so my point is no web browser is perfect
Some have beautiful ui but lack speed
some have speed but no flash :silly:
some have both but are laggy and heavily loaded
some drains your battery in no time,while some of them have all of those what we need,but does not suit on the tiny screen of our beloved explorer
thus give your suggestions,which browser makes u love the internet :laugh: ​
I'm pretty happy from Dolphin mini, but anyway that was the second one that i tried, heard good things about chrome, but no flash, whyyyyy.

Flashed CM9 and the stock browser is pretty awesome (mainly due to the lack of wi-fi spots. "Save for offline reading" feature is great). Also it doesn't weigh 30 megabytes. So, 4.0.4 stock.
I´m using Dolphin in cm7 rom.
opera stands out among all the browsers till date
ICS stock browser!
Dolphin.
