Nope, it "alleviated" some of the loading, but 4.6 is still much faster. They'll work it out eventually.

No kiddin'! It's really nice! But it's not displaying some pages properly and it isn't recognizing/converting pages like ESPN.com into the mobile version.
It's a great alternative to Dolphin HD though! Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, the only problem, and the reason I stopped using Opera, is that it doesn't parse Youtube links correctly, and it's amazing how many of those I realize that I run across now that it doesn't work right.
I'll give Dolphin 5 a shot, using Miren right now. I just wish these stupid browsers would have HW acceleration like Opera (seems) to have. Everything is just so slow and choppy. Not sure if it's my live wallpaper that's doing it or not, but it's annoying.
Great

Turned the "mobile view" setting ON, and somewhat works for that site.
Just tried seems like it loaded some sort of mobile page, but looks like its missing some graphics elements, not sure how it is supposed to look. Anyway, screen big enough for me to use full site, i basically hate when something forces to load the mobile site 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

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...

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'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 use Opera Mobile. I don't need "super function" but i want smooth scrolling and zoom. Opera has gpu acceleration and works smoother than the stock and offers, imho, the best performances on htc devices with gingerbread
My personal preferance is xscope. I find it easy to maneuver and importing bookmarks extremely easy.

Currently using the stock browser. Don't need any more advanced browser than that.
Have thought about changing to opera mobile or so.
I've been using Dolphin Browser for a long time now, and it's just what I need, when I need. It's decently fast, and I'm not experiencing any download drops. I've used Fiefox and Maxton before as well as the stock one, and one thing they had in common was the download drop.

Browsers
Been a dedicated user of Opera for about 5 years, find that every update brings something you wanted but have just switched to a custom ICS rom and found Opera doesn't support flash on it! They are usually pretty on the ball about fixing problems but ICS has been out for months now, can anyone confirm another browser that supports flash on ICS 4.0.3. I've got a DHD with LordClockan's Ice Cold Sandwich 3.0. Hopefully it'll be sorted soon coz although I've tried almost all other browsers always seem to come back to Opera for its speed and smoothness.

Hey mate,
Currently using Dolphin HD. Main reason why, it allows you to set your agent to desktop, so you can view full websites instead of the mobile site.
I prefer Opera browser! It gets the job done

I'm using Maxthon, may be wrong, but I think it is the only one that returns immediately to the previous page via the back button, ie it's cached, not reloaded. Great for reading forums
Also, the version I am using (v2.0, build 2775) formats the page perfectly - if the page is multi-column, like your typical newspaper, it sizes the width according to the column width, which is really good. No need to resize once it has finished loading. Oddly, I have tried later versions of this browser, and I can't get it to behave this way.

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.

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.
