Even though it won't run youtube, the beta version of 10 is a much better interface than even 9.5, they've made some great improvements, and the beta is free.
As for running youtube, my T-mobileUS Touch Pro 2 comes with a native YouTube app installed already, did yours not have that? You can download it if you want from m.youtube.com/app (though you may need to use IE to do that)

There's only one version of Opera 10, the beta version currenly available...it's a marked improvement over the older versions of Opera (9, 9.5, etc). When you install it will give you the option to make it the default browser. However, it doesn't seem to respond to the zoom bar (which I would happily trade for a d-pad or trackball), and I have found very few programs that make use of it.
OK, installed Opera 10 and it seems to be working alot better... but now how do i set it to open when i press the internet keyboard shortcut on my keypad (AT&T Tilt 2).

Well I know it can be done through some registry edits (I'll see if I can find them again if you need), but I haven't tried any of them myself yet
No worries, thanks though. I ended up flashing to the e2 rom and everything just works so much better now.

Tried accessing http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/game.asp using both opera and internet explorer on my HD but it wouldn't work. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
It is a flash game.
Browsers do not support flash yet (atleast advanced animation like games...).
you have to wait for a revolution from adobe's side or the release of opera turbo.
I guess that some basic flash animations could be viewed if you install flash lite for win mobile.
not sure because I have not tried it (not that interested by basic animations I want to play back flash videos )
There is also skyfire that uses the same techno as opera turbo (or opera is intending to use the same techno as skyfire ), however it has no real wvga, it scales up.
OMG this game is so addictive!
I HATE YOU, DANPROCTER!
BTW, there is a newer version here: http://www.casualcollective.com/games/DesktopTD

As ysou might have or might have not heard Opera Mobile 11 is now out on the Android Market. And in my Opinion its by far the best browser, in terms of page load times it may be a tad slower than the stock browser. But in turns of scrolling it's just so much better, super smooth at all times evon on the heaviest sites i've found (even while loading) , no checkerboard at all and no blurry text when zooming.
One thing it didn't like so much was the font, but you can change that
when typing "opera:config" or "about:config" in the address bar.
I stll haven't found the perfect settings but I lake it better now.
my settings are:
Form.Text
20,2,0,0,0,0,Droid Sans
Normal
19,4,0,0,0,0,Droid
There are allot of other settings too, maybe someone finds (and shares) settings that improve performance or reduce ram usage without harming performance.
Will check it out.
I agree, the best internet browser so far!!
Just found out how to use a custom user agent.
In "opera:config" there is a menu called "user prefs"
under "custom user agent" you can input any user agent you want I used the one from Opera 11 Desktop. And now every page loads the Desktop version.
Trying it out now... Thanks for the update!
Has flash been removed from the last update (yesterday) ?

Is anyone else having problems with scrolling? In my SGS it sometimes takes a few seconds after finger swipe before the browser reacts at all. Then again, after restarting Opera it may work ok.
My ROM is Doc's version 9.9.5 XWJS8.
Finally managed to get this beast rooted and everything is great, loving the new UI and all, but for heaven's sake, please tell me that I don't have the best browsers with Dolphin HD, stock, and Opera. All have serious drawbacks - primarily confirmation dialogue boxes (can't anyone fix this?) they never work. Sometimes they do after a pinch resize.
Other problems - Desktop user agents are just... awful. Firefox was the biggest resource hog out of them all so I yanked it.
Any thoughts, suggestions, help would be appreciated.
Additional info:
LG Nitro P930 (rooted)
Gingerbread - ICS (leaked version) - LG online upgrade (post root)
Browsers tried: stock (obviously), Dolphin HD, Opera, and Firefox
Problem sites: mostly Yahoo (especially mail), FB, any other non-mobile site that uses popup dialogue boxes

Looks good! Looks DAMN good! Why would Chrome not be the stock browser? Hopefully this fixes some of those issues. Holy crap this is NICE. I like the zoom in on those hard-to-thumb with sausage finger links! LOL
ya i have chrome on my tab and love it its awsome
Does anyone know one that works with Jelly Bean? I cant seem to find one Boat Browser worked with ICS but now on JB it just doesnt work anymore...
And i know opera does this, but i really dislike how opera scrolls through pages and how it sometimes doesnt display stuff correctly. So i'd like to avoid that browser
I have checked any other browser trying to find one that reflow like Opera to no avail.
Opera is the only one with auto reflow when you aply/change zoom and this is the reason why I use it since old good WinMo days...
I can't understand browsing without this feature and realy don't find any problem with last Opera version.
Sorry
well i see i guess i have to make due with chrome (does pretty good text alignment so you dont have to zoom at all) until CM10 gets stable, in vanilla android text reflow works with pretty much with every browser...
I guess samsung is coming out with their own browser

I love how opera reflows and scrolls.
"Smartphone is no longer a phone"
Sorry to revive this old thread, but based on the above I've been using Opera just because of the text reflow. I really don't like its method for switching between tabs/windows, though. I much prefer the tabs at the top like most other tabbed browsers. So, I've found I keep trying all the others again. Well, I just tried the updated Boat Browser today and found they have now fixed it to do text reflow in JB. It works great! I really like it MUCH better than Opera now. So, any of the rest of you wanting text reflow, might want to give BB a fresh try.

Dolphin browser, available on the Play store. Works just fine for me and it supports flash, plus a host of plug-in features. l''m on stock Jellybean rom, upgraded from stock ICS.

So when you zoom in on text in Dolphin it is reflowing (wrapping) the enlarged text for you so you dont have to scroll left-right? Just want to ensure you mean the same thing because I'm on stock JB as well and Dolphin Browser sure isn't doing that reflow for me. I like Dolphin otherwise, so if it could do this I'd be happy with it, but unfortunatly it doesn't.
why you don´t use stock browser?
it has an option to do that what you want.
I am currently using boat browser without any issues. Try it, they might have fixed it in latest update.

How? There is an "autofit" in the stick browser, but that just zooms to the full page. I don't believe it does text reflow.

Yes, when I zoom in on text, the enlarged text is wrapped and I can read without having to pan left or right. I have Dolphin Browser v9.0.1 (with Jetpack v1.0.1).. The user agent is set to desktop.

Cool! I hadn't heard of Dolpin Jetpack before. It does NOT reflow with just Dolphin, but I just installed Jetpack and sure enough that makes it reflow. Thanks for suggesting that!
Hmm, now to decide which is my new favorite - Dolphin or Boat...

Nice hint - I can confirm that with the given versions it used to work (even with the user agent set to Android rather than Dolphin), but at least since Dolphin 9.2.0 with Jetpack 2.0 it does not work anymore.
This is the aosp browser with working text reflow
Just remove the stock browser then reboot and install this as a normal app (Not system app)
For the text to reflow zoom and then double tap on the text
latest firefox has text reflow feature

True. I foolishly auto updated to the latest version of Dolphin Browser and lost that feature (as well Flash support). Unistalled it thereafter and am now using Boat Browser. No complaints with Boat Browser so far.

I tried it out, but this browser does not provide text reflow (on my Samsung Galaxy Note2 running Android 4.1.1) either
I did select "Auto-fit pages" in the advanced settings and did try double-tapping as you wrote in your next post, but with no luck.

I can confirm that text reflow works with Boat Browser (after enabling the "Text wrapping" option in its settings).
In case anyone else also likes to revert Dolphin to version 9.0.3 and Jetpack 1.0.2 (the last versions with which I found reflow to work),
I attach the former as apk file, while attaching the latter apk file did not work for some technical reasons - even after zipping the file
to some 11.4 MB, I always get a strange error: "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing".
Thus I now offer both for download at http://David.von-Oheimb.de/perlen/Android/Apps.html
Is anyone else have problems when scrolling web pages? My phone laggs pretty much in browser. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Problem can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jttoOoC8k_Q#t=00m07s
Loaded page is http://m.monitor.hr, browser is android default browser (but same problem exists in Chrome).
it is probably a lot of advertisment content inside
in my G4 is same as you - laggy
Yeh, I've had lots of problems using chrome on some web pages. Seems to be advertising.
I'm now using Opera, which runs smoother for me.
@johnny8910
if you rooted already you can use adaway app
which is adblock - very pleasant function to me

It's totally smooth here using UCBrowser (rooted + adblocked of course) :good:
It's driving me crazy, especially because I'm using desktop browse agent. I desperately need root+adblock, tried the adblock plus without root solution didn't work well.
Tried that page on mine. it's as smooth as silk with no lag at all.

I have it installed and updated, but still get some issues.
Thanks for you replies guys.
It is true that page on video is loaded with adds, but by my old Samsung Galaxy S4 scrolls it without problems same as my 7" Alcatel tablet bought for less than 40€.
From your replies it seems that some of us have this issue and some not. I'm considering to ask for a replacement unit because I tried other unit in T-Mobile center and that one didn't have problems with laggy scrolling.
Will try to do a factory reset and test it again (shame because of lost time for settting it up).
Hard reset did not solve the problem I think I will try to get replacement tomorrow.

Will wait few days for update. Tried to update it yesterday but already on latest version.
Sorry to necro this thread, but this link might help.
I can't post links, so just Google "10 speed hacks to make chrome faster"
Basically,
You can use chrome flags to give chrome access to more memory and other thing thing that help chrome scroll smoother. Just got the lg g4 and giving chrome 512 memory seemed to help.
Firefox is laggy in scrolling, also when rooted and adaway installed. Opera or Chromium is very smooth on my G4...
