I go on sites like slickdeals a lot and for some reason, many of the links that people post don't work.
For example: http://m.slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2469686
The link in the first post of that doesn't work for me. I know its not the link/site because it works on my blackberry and my vibrant but not the defy.
Can someone else please try the link in that first post and let me know if it works for them? This is driving me nuts. Thanks.

Is miren browser one of those that compresses the page before sending to you?
That is why I specified opera mobile...Opera mini is one of those and sometimes the going through the proxy/compressing the page can mess things up a bit.
Otherwise you could go into settings and manage applications and clear the cache for the browser and see if that helps.
It only works with opera mini which is compressed.
Wont work with non compressed.such as opera mobile, miren, or the stock browser

Best forum app I have ever used.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
I have the same prob but now i use xda app
I have that issue with the stock browser so I use opera instead.
What do you guys think the best browser is? The stock browser is good but one problem I found is that you can't download some files, like rar.
Firefox is another good browser in been using but it doesn't have flash player, which is a huge bummer.
What do you guys use, and why?
Hi,
I use skyfire 4.0 , just because it is straight forward
Others like Dolphin HD. personally i dont as when you scroll left or right a menu pops up - could be deactivated i guess !!. Dolphin also has gestures which is a great feature

Dam ..How did this one slip through the net lol
Very useful app dude..
i use dolphin as it lets me take off the notification bar, when i view video.
For me Opera Mobile wins. Full screen, extremely fast, super smooth scrolling, nice interface. Also, Opera always reflows the text, when using pinch to zoom, which the other browsers don't.
Boat Browser, not popular but really rocks
Stock browser works great. Only thing is I have to use opera mini for some websites.
Mini dolphin is pretty good also. I personally don't like dolphin hd.

LOL HILARITY ENSUES! For a while I've been wondering if this was possible and man, only because I'm interested in the SGS 2 I wandered in here and found this solution!
Thanks a lot!
Miren Browser. As fast as Dolphin Mini but with more features and less ugly than Dolphin HD. All the above mentioned just uses the phone's browser engine to render anyways so performance should be the same as stock more or less.
Use Opera Mobile occasionally because it's even faster than stock, but some pages don't render correctly and/or links fail.
Only use Firefox when none of the above work correctly with a website.
Do you have a cab file for that browser? Would like to try it, but can't find it in the Android market.

Little background to the question..
I've been using Dolphin for a while the main reason is the intergration of lastpass. But had a problem downloading a Rom from dev host last night(which is weird because I've downloaded from there without a problem in the past) and through a suggestion tried opera and it worked...so I was just wondering what others used
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
It depends on what I'm doing. If I want to download files its easier to use the stock browser because it dl in the status bar.
For normal browsing I like using opera mobile. It's the smoothest and fastest browser I've tried.
The ice cream sandwich browser is really smooth too...

Dolphin hd with browse faster... Works really well.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I use Opera Mobile, I've found that it handles downloads from sites that other browsers won't. Dolphin went downhill a while ago, but I used it for a long time.
I also use xScope. I like that it has per domain user agents, single finger pinch to zoom, and you can swipe left or right to change tabs. I've been using Opera more and more, though.

i use the skyfire web browser. it has a unique feature, that enables you to download videos from almost all websites including ESPN and other paysites that are usually blocked. it shows a download icon and gives u the option of viewing or downloading the file in the format the website plays it in. you may need a player, such as MXplayer to view formats android does not recognize, such as .flv.

I prefer Dolphin HD out of all I have tried.
I tried Firefox and it was slow and crashed a lot. The one I tried didn't have Flash capability either. I can't imagine a browser without Flash now days.
Yea dolphin is the way to go. Its so "chrome" like.
Sent From deep space using My htc Sensation
I personally like the Dolphin Browser, but Opera is a good one too!
I'm a noob, so I'll just get that out the way right now, but why would you use anything but the stock browser? I guess I only really do basic browsing (ESPN, Yahoo, etc) and it seems to work just fine for that I guess...I don't ever do any big downloads on my phone, so I guess I am wondering why everyone uses another browser instead of the stock one? Thanks =)
So I'm tired of using like 3 different browsers for different applications. I use Firefox because its what I use on my desktop and I like the look and feel. I use chrome for the simplicity and speed sometimes, going to try switching to chrome on my desktop, I liked the bookmark sync Firefox has I think chrome has it too. But not everything works on chrome... I have to use stock browser for things like checking my sub trust account. And then there's Opera browser I like because I can make everything in desktop mode. What browser(s) do you guys use and is there just one I might be able to use instead of all 3?

I think it is up to the user I used to use dolphin hd with the gb roms. But I have always been a fan of chrome so when ICS came out I switched to that and have no complaints I keep the stock browser installed just in case there is something that chrome cant handle chrome still is in beta I think. And the stock ICS browser is not that bad at all.

Unfortunately Adobe dropped support for mobile, so only the stock browser can do flash. I remember when they announced the chrome app it said something about not supporting flash. HTML5 video works great though!

I have tried them all as well. I like Boat Browser. No flaky UI issues like dolphin, fully functional layout kinda Mozilla like. flash works great with it.
It is also very customizable. Imports bookmarks and is very fast. My $0.02 worth..
I like Maxthon. Give that one a shot. It has tabs and a nice fullscreen mode.
The only issue I don't like is the tooltips that pop up, and so far there is no setting to turn them off.They have told me they are working on that though.

i am gonna have to say chrome for this one...... i dunno why but for what i need it for it works just fine. The only thing that i have found that bugs me is that the 2 finger zoom thing that is in the "browser" is not supported here. Yeah, yeah i know its dumb but ya know what i use it from time to time when pinch2zoom is not as easy to use, for example when my 2 year old baby wants to sit on my lap doesnt want to move because he "wants me". ya know stuff like that.....just sayn...
Which browser is the best out of the big names (Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, Default etc.) I just don't know because lateley with these new updates they let me down in diff areas. I wanna be a one browser man lol.

I used XScope for the longest of time. I really liked how it functioned. But I currently use Dolphin. I like the reliability and how it handles swipe gestures.
You know what sucks? No third party browser supports links to apps. They don't open party store or Google plus. They open the websites. Except boat browser does play store but no other ones. Only browsers that support those links are stock and chrome. And stock mod browsers obviously
I know, the only gripe I have with dolphin is that when you dont pinch zoom into a page and click a tiny link next to another link example: Xda next page and last page chrome has like a popup that enlarge them for you.. I dunno if dolphin has this and you have to set it up or w/e but its a good app. Lol and everyone flames the default.
