added better video with more sites, and still, HTC Desire wins
Show a video erasing the cache on each browser before doing the test which would be fairer.

i did this before video, i cleaned all task, cache and history, also htc desire was fresh boot.
You can try yourself...
well ... although i agree that the desire browser is really fast ... i have to say, your pc's chrome is terribly slow.
when i compare loading engadget in my chrome it doesn't even take half the time to load and it's way faster than my phone can do it

maybe you are using desktop computer (and your cpu is 1,6GHz faster ) and faster internet, and also, you in Germany, so closer to server than me.
There's no doubt a PC or laptop is faster than the Desire. Comparing them makes no sense.
Tips to OP: try Opera Much faster than Chrome (on PC)
Oooh yeah here it comes... yes of course, opera is faster then Chrome.... of course....

Well, computer can do tones of jobs.
But phones are optimized to do certain jobs better, and browser is one of optimized programs. (This would be my guess)
Opera is faster than chrome and webkit
You don't have the same computer then he has, and chrome is faster. Next you probably didn't use same connection, and even if you did, your pc had privileges over the phone.
It would be completely fair if you'd compare 2 same speed wi-fi connections, and use slower PC. You simply can't put 2,86TFLOPS PC versus 40MFLOPS phone, right?
EDIT:
And by the way, your desire is loading pages slower then his and mine.
Just to add to the conversation I have done some testing with browsers recently (Mainly Chrome/IE and Firefox)
And I must say Chrome is has some serious issues. For instance Firefox will load a page in less than a second and on the same machine Chrome will take about 20 seconds.
Also another bug I have noticed with Chrome it will intensivley hog the Ram useage and even CPU useage on certain machines. I first noticed this because one of our computers at home is rigged up to our 32" TV for watching stuff using WMP on the TV. Now the computer isn't high spec but reasonable and plays all these videos fine (from local hdd) but as soon as 1 Chrome page is open (1 tab) you will notice the video keeps pausing/jumping/skipping and in places become un-watchable and simply closing Chrome (without restarting the video) fixes the problem and you can see the ram and cpu drop dramatically even while still playing the video.
I don't know what is about Chrome but I have tested it on a few machines and got similar results (apart from one seemed to be ok) and Firefox has been the quickest out of my tests. Although IE sometimes (rarley) opened quicker the FF most of the time IE just crashes when you open it for the first time. Chrome opens very fast and normally the fastest to open but web browsing not always that quick and hogging system resources I stick to FF with no issues what so ever (apart from one crash in the last 2 months and when it re-opened all of my (10) tabs where open within 30 seconds and ready to go.

First of all I'm very happy with my stock browser in Desire.
As to the desktop browsers; I am totally agree with your comment on Chrome, it has issues and besides a ram and cpu monster. Firefox is working well but is slow especially at first launch. Have you ever tested Safari? It is my default browser since the day I hv installed and begun to use it.

I have never had any of these issues you are talking about. my chrome is ridiculously fast, and does not eat more then 50MB RAM. By the time writing this(4tabs) it uses 8-11% of the CPU, and that's because of that annoying flash ad here -.-' (Now it's 0-4% when I scrolled down a bit)
There are only four problems I have experienced are these:
1.) Since first beta chrome starts up MUCH slower, but still MUCH MUCH faster then other browsers. But he can do now much MUCH more things of course
2.) The omnibox sometimes takes time to detect the site I want. Rarely.
3.) Sometimes(rarely) it "forgets" to auto-fill my login details, rarely but unfortunately on my most visited forums, that's these too =/
4.) It is too good for some people
Well, i am using only firefox, and it use just 20% of cpu (opening page)
So it would be like 0.9GHz 100% loaded cpu
HTC desire load pages by using 80~99% of cpu, so it same as desktop computer.
That's why HTC desire some times will load it quicker.
But if website is flash based, or have lot of java, it becomes quite slow.

Sorry mate, but Intel i7 extreme (6 cores) has only 0.1TFlops peak performance, not 2.86TFlops (with HT )
We are talking about overall PC performance. Besides, Core i7 may, maybe, have 0,1TFLOPS in linpack, but it's real performance is about 2,86TFLOPS. That perfectly fits with the 5TFLOPS HD5970

My phone is actually quite laggy now. Sometimes flicking between the menus lags so I have to restart my phone.
Also, high end processes such as the game asphalt lag A LOT.
Whats up? I thought this was "the most powerful phone in the world"?
+1 finding mine to lag a lot as well........
Mine also becomes increasingly laggy, the only thing that sort of works is using advanced task killer to stop the all the background running programs, some were running on mine i dont even remember opening!
Not finding this at all. I think it's certain apps that cause it as my phone is practically full of apps barely any space left but still not laggy.
EDIT: No task manager on mine either.
i have around 40 apps including asphault and sygic navigation and i nevered faced lag in my desire....!!!! the only time i restart the phone is when i have all of them running and cause i don't want to kill them with task managers i restart in order for it to close them itself.
Sorry but I must say, I'm a bit disappointed. The Phone is Luggy.
And I don't even dare to compare it to Iphone (And Yes I know it boosts more then twice the resolution of the Iphone), but still When I play Asphalt It looks like a Pentium 3 running - Crysis.
So... "Fastest Phone ever made"??? Maybe only on paper...
Asphalt for some reason does not run well on the Desire, the game is butter smooth on my Milestone. Let's hope they optimize it for the Desire as well, the game is quite good.
The phone does get very laggy unless you use a task manager. For a snapdragon powered phone it doesn't seem to be very "Snappy". It's seriously bad in the "All Programs" menu especially.
As for gaming, the milestone will unfortunately always be better than the Desire. It has an OMAP/PowerVR CPU/GPU combo (The same as the Nokia N900) which outclasses the Snapdragon in 3D gaming but is slightly slower in CPU intensive apps.
I've been attacked with huge consistent lag since 2 days now (unknown before) but it was the miscall app and app organizer running in the background causing it (as well as voraciously depleting the battery life) so not a problem here.

I've had immense lag when I am typing into quick-reply boxes..even normal reply boxes while surfing. It's REALLY bad on default browser, worse on Dolphin Mini.
Any idea what's causing this?
On Amethyst 1.1 atm....Been having this problem from LeeDroid, CM7, Oxygen, AuraxT..
Oh and surfing web is not so smooth most of the time 100% CPU Load..
I know what you mean because I previously struggled with it. I don't know a sure fix, but in my case it was always either due to;
- The SD card being accessed heavily
- The system memory going down to below 70MB
- LauncherPro associated weirdness. Uninstalled it at such periods and the huge lag was gone.

After a couple months of go between Chrome and Dolphin I've settled on Dolphin for a variety of reasons which I won't go into.
I recently installed add-ons for the first time (other than what comes default) and discovered the Dolphin Connect plug-in for Chrome so I can sync my Chrome bookmarks on my desktop with Dolphin on my phone. Hurray! However, one thing I've learned coming from iOS to Android is with most of these high-powered Android smartphones, you need to be more vigilant about watching battery consumption. Initially I found Poweramp to be running mediaserver related stuff in the background chewing up battery but that settled down in seems, maybe just took time for the phone/app to catalog/analyze or something my 3000 high bitrate aac files on my SD card. Others have said these phones' batteries sort of 'break in' (really I think it's an OS database issue with the OS doing stuff, not the physical battery breaking in.)
Anyway, sorry to get off on a tangent. Since enabling the Bookmark and Tab Sync on Dolphin and installing the Speed Test, LastPass, and Desktop mode switcher add-ons, I noticed a bit more battery usage so I took a look at usage a couple times with phone asleep for an hour or two and I find mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser in top 5 apps/processes for battery usage. This is when NOT using the phone AT ALL.
There's no info anywhere on this issue after last spring when apparently Dolphin was called "Dolphin HD". Then app store also has 'Dolphin Beta' which to my demise I found synced tabs but not bookmakrs (was having an issue Dolphin opening links to blank page - thought Beta was newer but saw date on App Store for Beta was older than non-Beta!) In a nut shell - their naming/version history is a bit confusing for a relatively new Android/Dolphin user.
I did see only one post somewhere saying the desktop mode switching add-on was eating background CPU. Huh? Anyway, I currently just do trial and error disabling one thing at a time to figure out specifically what in Dolphin is using CPU when the phone isn't in use. Also will need to see if exiting all the way out makes a difference.
I'm chatty today. Sorry. Hate to post this in a device specific forum too as this may not be specific to this device but no better place I guess?
Hey, I have a kindle fire with SGT 10.2 and when I go on the normal browser or firefox, gizmodo just crahses all the time, is there anything I can do? RAM levels are ~140 at peak and ~70 minimal. Is it just because of the tablet or is there a cure?
No, its RAM. Some pages use a lot of graphics and that leads to the Kindle to overuse RAM, of course you can't tell because as soon as you exit to see RAM, it increases. Another thing might be flash player. Try to to use Mobile Sites.

The mobile version crashes the hell out of it and the desktop version works properly. Strange...
Hello there! I have ASUS Zenfone 2 and I want an android browser that has AdBlock and is also capable to Sync bookmarks and tabs with browser on PC and other devices (so Adblock Browser isn't being considered). The two options I come across are Maxthon and Firefox.
I have used Maxthon in the past (both PC and Android Versions) and have preferences for it, but I want to now between Maxthon and Firefox, what has the best CPU, RAM and Battery Usage (mainly battery usage since Zenfone has the long known issues with battery life).
I have found an article on PhoneArena showing the advantage to Maxthon on page rendering and loadtime, however no word is said about the hardware performance.
So, anyone knows which one is better?
PS: I won't be using Chrome because no.

Whichever you feel is faster! If you are a numbers man try this app and see which launches faster.

Oh, thanks for the reply, but what I mean is which one consumes less CPU, RAM and Battery.
There is an APP with I can test those parameters?
I tried both today again after months and I personally hate Firefox on Android, it is so slow (maybe only on Intel X86?)..I tried also Maxthon but I'm not impressed..I will suggest you Maxthon, Firefox is too slow! There are anyway a lot of ad-blocking browsers, Lightning Browser (only pro) for example, you can also try latest Asus Browser (I don't know if now is stable or you still need to join beta on google plus, anyway they added ad-block support).
hi there
i can confirm, firefox (not beta) has a lot better
some sites when using maxthon is dissaponted
e.g, try browse 'kumpulbagi.com' or 'kumpulbagi.id' without quote using maxthon and firefox, set to the desktop mode..you can see maxthon can't zoom out as firefox do
and firefox has several filter adblocker you can choose, i have to admit firefox too slow at the past than maxthon but im impressed with firefox now
anyway, other browser that you can consider is asus browser, now has adblocker, you can do compare how fast and see the RAM consume
hope you can choose the best and match

GSam Battery Monitor does give you CPU and Battery usage of an app.
For RAM usage you can goto : Settings - > Apps - > Running.
Firefox beta has some experimental features for x86 that make it run pretty smooth for me
