Been using dolphin since 1.6, but want a change. Suggestions?
You could try xScope, fastest browser in most reviews
I use Skyfire.
Great features and the speed is also very good
Have been using Skyfire since I got my X10, very fast and nice browser.
And the flash tab is very usefull in some cases.
However since yesterday I have started working with the Xscope 6 browser.
And I love the zoom function by just swiping. Have not seen this function in other browsers. Some of the functions I don't love so much, but still a fast and basic browser.
If you visit alot of flash websites (why would you ? ;-) ) I would recommend Skyfire.
Otherwise try the Xscope.
Both are very nice.
my favourite browser is Dolphin HD
fast and very comfortable to use
Try Opera Mobile 10.1 beta (Android 1.6+)

Maybe its just me but how do you control the zoom in dolphin hd?
In the old one it had + - buttons that showed up when my touched the screen but now it just seems to be double tap to zoom in with no option to control just how much or little it zooms.
Annoying on my chess site where the board is either far away or too close to see the whole thing....
In the Dolphin Browser you can activate it in Settings. It was already checked when i had Dolphin but maybe its unchecked in yours. Dont know how it was called but it easy to find. I like the Firefox Browser but the Browser still need alot of work becouse no HTML5,no Zoom in and out Buttons and eats to much Internal Memory and RAM but i like the Style and how to switch Tabs and all.
try miren browser (miui browser)
i've tried the default android browser, skyfire, dolphin HD, opera, etc, and none of these come CLOSE to the speed of the miren browser. no lag, lots of settings, etc.
you can get the english version on the main xda apps forums. they're crazy over it.
the also seem to like the UC browser. i haven't tried it yet but people say it is good.

Thanks for the UC browser tip....installed it and its speedy fast...wow...loving it..and the UI is nice.
Definitely the best browser I have used so far.
I´ve installed and tried about six other browsers by now but none of them stopped me using Opera (mini or mobile) yet. Must say I used Opera as my phone-browser since 2006, so that probably makes it harder to get used to those fancy new browsers. Well I do like to try them, but it would take so much time to actually test and compare. If I had to choose right now, I would pick DolphinHD, for looks and feel (next to Opera .

Miren Browser is the best ive tried too, just a question not a big problem but, do you pollpixx have any problems with miren when you click a youtube link in the browser and it doesnt work? on mine it just shows a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" screen...
Didnt noticed that yet, only thing I noticed that all external links are blank and you manually have to refresh, but they working on that as we speak...just watched a youtube movie from a twitter message directly and it went okay...

Any suggestions?
I use dolphinhd, but don't like the way it handles bookmarks.
try Opera mini
Native Browser
Mini Opera
Miren Browser (Uses Tabs...pretty good)
Scott
I swap between Dolphin Browser HD and the Miren Browser.
Miren: Here.
Dolphin: Here.
I've also tried:
Xscope 6
Dolphin Mini
Miren
I like the Dolphin Mini interface (UI), but even though everyone says it's fast, it seems slow to me, so I've been using Xscope almost exclusively.
Jim
...ben using dolphinhd too, got into the habit with the WPDN as it worked best on that... I like the plugins for dolphin too...
also recently found infinity browser, but keep forgetting to really try it... I guess that I'll have to check out the miren browser now as well...
Dolphin Mini, it seems to work better than any browser I've used on my tablet. I've used xScope, Opera, native, Dolphin, and Opera. Dolphin Mini is quick and I like the gestures function.
Dolphin HD
DolphinHD seems to work pretty well.

I use dolphin hd, mostly because I got caught up with it after I installed the shake plugin (movement based tab switching) and no matter what browser I use now, I shake it to switch tabs now :/ really irritated that it got ingrained into my 'process' so quickly. I've had to put dolphin hd on my phone now too.
No problem with bookmarks as I have it sync with my google account.
I love the slideout bookmark tray in Dolphin...once it is setup it is quick and easy. I also like the gestures.
Opera Mobile... I like being able to sync bookmarks, etc with my desktop browser.

You can change Xscope behavior, so it will identify itself as a desktop computer.

Dolphin mini also. I imagine that Dolphin HD also?
Jim
I use Stock, Dolphin is too slow for some sites such as comic book sites. I have tried Opera mimi but could not get around the screen resolution issue. I wish the stock support multi-tab.. very eager to wait for the browser from Honeycomb.. like a lot like the Chrome..
Skyfire fan. Tried Dolphin HD and it's very good too.

It's been awhile since I've seed stock browser, but it does kind of have tabs, or at least tab-like behavior. The icon at top, that looks like overlapping pages.

Yes. The only difference between them is the name they use for the user agent. Xscope uses "computer"; Dolphin HD, "desktop".

That icon when pressed shows the thumbnails of the open windows. Just like safari on the iPhone/ipad.
[Q] Better Web Browser
I'm looking for a web browser for my TF that views pages in actual web form, not as mobile pages.
I think with a screen this size it should be possible, right?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Skyfire has a desktop mode.

I use Dolphin, can set user-agent to Desktop.
Some people have suggested Dolphin HD as good replacement for the stock browser. I'm just not clear about your problem? My stock browser displays the webpages as my PC browser would. You can check Settings|Advanced and User agent string.
Hope this helps,

I'm using Dolphin HD and like it better than the stock one.
~DC
I guess maybe I'm missing some steps, or haven't tried a few of them that you've mentioned. Just noticed that in my firefox browser (and also the stock browser) all of the pages (MSN, Facebook) are showing up in their mobile forms.
I'll try a couple of those you mentioned and see if I can find them...Thanks!
try Firefox

Now we just need hulu to acknowledge this!
Dolphin HD
This should be a poll
If you get ADW EX you can adjust the standard (useless) browser widget to 2 columns by 7 rows (looks a lot better), then when you first click on a thumbnail it asks you which browser you wish to use, click your preffered item then you have a custon full size browser of choice widget.
Lately I have been experimenting with different browsers because I am not happy with the stock browser on Honeycomb because it seems to have a lot of issues and slow performance when rendering. I know that a lot of people have been recommending Dolphin Browser HD, and I have tried that alongside Mozilla Firefox. Which browser is everyone else using on their Transformer and how do you like it?
The thing I miss most about the stock browser is the sync with your google chrome bookmarks, so if anyone can suggest how to get that to work with Dolphin Browser or Mozilla, I would appreciate it. Mozilla seems to have the best rendering speed out of the two, however, Dolphin seems to have more features and a better overall interface. Both Dolphin and the stock browser have problems rendering this forum, but Mozilla seems to do it with ease. However, it doesn't seem as though Mozilla is proportioned right for Tablet use yet.
I guess each of the has their positives and negatives, which is why I want to see what everyone else is using and their thoughts.
I use all of them because I don't like any of them. Every one has some problems. The best is probably the stock one, but it doesn't have adblock and when I turn on flash some pages turn into literally hell because of ads. Firefox on the other hand is fast but has very few options and scales images very poorly (this forum looks ugly on it for example). Opera is strange (especcialy the tabs are strange). Dolphin looks like a bloatware.
I hope to see full desktop browser on Android some time. With extensions and such (Firefox mobile extensions are laughable, even adblock doesn't have any options).
to me the stock browser seems more and more like chrome...is it just me?
All Android browsers are really inferior... Right now I go back and forth between stock and Firefox... Don't like either...
stock is as fluid as it gets
I tried Dolphin... but to be frank, it definitely does seem like bloatware. Its overall pretty awful. I keep it installed just because I use it for some websites that the stock one doesn't work properly. But thats rare. And I don't care for it.
People keep saying that Dolphin is "optimised for honeycomb" but I really don't think so. If it were, it'd run a crap ton better.
I use stock. It doesnt always work perfect, and it has its flaws for sure, but its pretty darn fluid, the tabs work great, and its just a clean looking browser.
Stock for browsing and firefox for downloading .zip files
would prefer opera as its my desktop browser of choice but its just terrible atm on android
re browser's
I,d really like to like the stock browser, or dolphin (my usual favourite), but the opera mobile seems currently the only one that has that ipad floaty feel to scrolling. Why cant the others do this?
Dolphin hd beta 5 is awesome
Firefox with adblock is sweet. For watching Flash websites, I use stock or dolphin hd. I like opera too. I guess I will be using all of them as I see fit. That's what I like about android.
I just picked up my Fire and wasn't entirely pleased with the browser performance, so I sideloaded Dolphin HD...definitely an improvement over stock Fire browser. Feel free to post any results you guys get from other 3rd party browsers so we know our options!
Agreed...I went into the settings and unchecked accelerate page loading and that seemed to help with the speed. I'm not that impressed with the silk browser

I wasn't overly impressed with the speed to be honest with you, and after loading Firefox 7 on, I think I'll stick with that (plus I can use AddOns). Mobile browsing is never lightning fast, but I think they touted the Silk browser as the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not as convinced.
I installed Opera Mini and it works great. It's not full featured, but for general browsing it's much quicker than the stock browser.

I am also using Opera Mini.
As stated, it is much faster than the Stock Browser.
ii have found opera mobile to be my fav so far. fast rendering and smooth page navigation.
Can you guys link or post to the other browser APKs?
Silk is smooth as...gravel :-/
Miren browser is super fast and has all of the features that I need. I am trying to get the stock aneroid browser loaded, that would be perfect.

I got Opera Mini v6.1 here:

Opera has apk downloads right on the mobile site:

I got Dolphin from the google apps zip in the first post here:

Opera Mobile here. Using it as my main browser on my phone and tablet.
I've loaded Dolphin HD, Opera Mobile and Firefox and tried them all out on the Fire. Opera Mobile is now my daily driver. Even if you choose not to use Opera Turbo (The Opera equivalent of Silk), you get really good speed and fast rendering.
What's more, when you go back to a previous page, it comes up like, instantly, whereas there's more load time for the other browsers. Makes navigating really fast and painless.
Being able to hit back and not have to load the page again is the best feature.
Ive been using both Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile over the past week and I'd have to say im liking Opera a bit more. Feels speedier and more responsive.
didnt they say it connects to amazon server to makes it faster 20 times :s
I thought the stock browser performed just like every other stock browser, like crap. I installed Opera and I really enjoy the interface on the larger screen, browsing is much more enjoyable than on my Galaxy SII.
Hello,
I`m looking for an internet browser for my 7.7 tab ICS 4.0.4.
All browser installed like chrome, maxthon, stock, opera, skyfire, except Firefox, all of them has lag, or how should I say ... while scrolling up/down through pages the navigation is not smooth.
Firefox seems to be the best choise, clearly like safari on ipad, but eats a lot of RAM, sometimes reaches over 130MB of RAM with 5 open tabs.
So, here is the question: what browser do you use that didn`t gives you headache?
Kind regards.

You can try Dolphin. It got a lot of add-on cool features. For me, I always love the simplicity and slicknwss of Chrome browser.
I use Opera with my Austrian 404 ICS,,, No lag what so ever. Very satisified
For me boat browser is the best, love it!

Okay, 10x for replyes. After reconsidering your opinion, I must say that firefox still remain as the best "fluid" browser, but a RAM killer. Boat browset is amazing, less RAM killer and fluid.
Thanks again.

I tried all the known browsers so far,for me the best is Boat.Opera also is a good one but I find Boat faster in various pages.
I checked both of them with a stopwatch loading the same pages at the same time
I would use opera more (especially cos i use it on my desktop and love the fact that it syncs on Android/desktop perfectly). But the thing i don't like is the pinch and zoom. It lacks the ability to pan at the same time as zooming. Can't live without that I'm afraid.
Can't believe the dev team haven't added this.

dolphin and boat
I can't live without tabbed browsing, so i prefer the dolphin browser and boat, both are light(boat seems lighter) and not memory hogs like firefox, i would have liked to like firefox but i dont like their tabbed browsing approach. I also love the web support of dolphin, i found many websites that i would normally open with no issues in a desktop browser to have issues with some browsers(esp banking and secure websites) but they always worked without fail on the dolphin browser. So it is a tie for dolphin and the awesome boat browser for me...
Firefox with AdBlock Plus is pretty nice.
