Miren browser and dolphin hd mini
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
Dolphin hd is what I use
Edit: just checked out miren and I like it. How can I save my bookmarks in dolphin hd so I can import into miren? I can't seem to find it...
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
Only dolphin hd. Sync alone rocks. If you see an article on your home pc & want to read it on your Evo or vice versa, there's a killer app for that!

Miren is awesome. I just wish you could theme it. I hate the blue, but it's worth it. I even found a black hacked one online. I wish google would man up and release a full featured and syncing mobile chrome. Just my two pennies.

Miren is indeed very nice, but dolphin hd seems a bit more refined/robust. Copying/selecting text is much easier too. For pure speed though, I think miren has just about everything beat.
+1 for miren. i've downloaded every browser to get a feel for the differences and its real close between miren and dolphin but i like the overall user friendlyness of miren's interface

i definitely agree with this
I still like skyfire for the pop out video window but miren looks the cleanest
I've tried them all and my favorite is Miren.
Seeing we have many different browser users here. What browser is the closest to duplicating a desktop browser UI? I ask because when coupled with HDMI mirroring most browsers take up way too much screen space. I've attached a pic of what I have now but am looking for something better.

with the right settings, miren is full screen with a few transparent looking buttons. just go to the top of a page and swipe up to get full menu bars and stuff. helpful.
I honestly don't think the stock browser is half bad.
I liked Dolphin when I tried it, but one reason I didn't stick with it is that I really like the bookmarks widgets in Sense and LauncherPro. I know they're adding features like folders in their own bookmark implementation, and that is nice, but I wish they'd give an option to turn that off in favor of the built in bookmarks database if we want. That's not the only reason I didn't stick with it though -- I just didn't see anything wrong with the stock browser. Maybe I should give it another shot.
Dolphin mini is my favorite

Have we determined that stock is the best overall? I just wanted to grab some opinions.

Is it possible to go full screen with stock and not have the taskbar on top...I couldnt figure it out in the settings..i like having full screen when browsing
I'm not a big stock browser fan. Dolphin HD works and looks great. I prefer tabbed browsing.

+1 Dolphin HD is number one. Miren comes in a close second.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Big fan of Opera Mini while away from wifi. Sure, it doesn't have flash but holy crap is it fast (recompressed images, compressed everything, remotely cached and downloaded, streamed from Opera servers..."opera turbo technology", very fast). I typically use that when I'm out of the house. It helps save battery and holy crap is it smooth. Sure, our phone runs every browser as smooth as can be, but, Opera is far smoother than any of them.
I'm a big fan of DolphinHD too though. Though typically if I have a great 3G connection and/or have battery to burn I'll stick to stock.

+2 on both counts. I've been trying the stock browser because of all the rave reviews but I'm still liking dolphin HD better. What can I say, it has all the features I want.
I think I'll try Miren. I really liked it on my Evo. Are you guys uninstalling the stock browser?
Samsung Galaxy S II
Me and my daughter both use Dolphin HD, so that's another two.
I used dolphin hd on all my other android phones but the stock browser on the et4g is much faster. I just wish it had some of the features dolphin did.
Dolphin HD all the way, it works very well and has great feature set.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yup, Dolphin HD here. Only browser that actually will play certain sites........naughty lol
wait, no Opera love? imho its THE best browser for android phones. Opera Mobile with full desktop rendering for WiFi browsing and Opera Mini with turbo rendering for 3G browsing.. best of both worlds
ps: Dolphin Mini is my #2

Don't think so. But with a 4.5 inch screen...does the notification bar really bother you that much??

I agree, Dolphin HD is the best browser I have used.
I use Dolphin HD and set it to open a new tab with every link. Then I use a flick gesture to close the tab. It's awesome for browsing forums, and the phone doesn't slow down even if I have 20 tabs open.
You should definitely try boat browser mini.... I tested them all pretty extensively and it proved fastest.... I'd think Opera browser was second (for sure it preserves desktop display settings which great). Dolphin didn't for me. Boat does also with a tweak.
But give boat a try....speeedy!
Just a quick question to see what mobile internet browser people are using and why?
Thanks

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.

The stock browser 'basically' is chrome somewhat. It syncs with your google chrome, can open incognito tabs, ect.

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 =)
hello guys, i was wondering what the best browser for this phone was. which one is the smoothest with private browsing. thanks in advance...
try dolphin hd browser very nice smooth and awesome if you hit the back button it display a window if you wanna erase your history etc..
I like the stock browser...I downloaded the ics browser from the market yesterday and its pretty nice too. I just like the stock look of the browser. Other browsers I have tried just seem to clutter up the screen with too many options.
I use Dolphin HD as well; it's very smooth.

Dolphin HD is a very good browser, also gives you an option to close out of the browser and clear the cache and history. I recommend this.
Dolphin for me

Try Quick ICS on Google Play Store. The real feature in this browser is to be able to customize the Quick Controls (read in that description). This is by far truly the fastest way to browse -with one hand!. I got mine customized to open, close tabs, launch bookmarks, go back & forward, reload page and manage tabs. With just the thumb, I can browse with ease. Another cool think is to setup upper / lower quick controls. On the upper, I have the "change browser mode" to switch between desktop and android - helps in loading certain pages that won't load properly with android mode. And on the lower controls, I have enabled Find and Invert screen. The invert helps reading at night / in bed. and of course the find to search stuff on the page.
Check it out. Plus, it is free.
Dolphin HD has been good for me. It has crashed a few times though where I've had to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it working again. Mind you, this was on a custom ROM (Beastmod 4.2) and I'm now on ICS via Darkside and have had no problems with it as of yet. I like the plugins that you can install such as the PDF saver and what not.
Many browsers can go from mobile/Android view to desktop not just dolphin.
Opera mini is fast but some things do not work fully because i think it's optimized for mobile viewing.
The fastest i think goes to boat browser. You guys can check that out. They copied dolphin a bit. The most fully functional would be opera mobile, but is slow at times. Dolphin is a great browser too, but there are times it does not load pages correctly or download correctly otherwise i would definitely go with them.

Yeah I switch from opera to dolphin and viceversa constantly.
Opera = almost 100% functional, but slow, ugly interface (having to tap 3 times to switch tabs for example)
Dolphin = Smooth, pretty and fast interface, but sometimes doesn't load pages correctly. (like pages w/ animated gifs)

Best browser yet. After installation you're taken to a html 5 game. It runs smooth. Now I see what HTML 5 is capable of. Also still does flash based off some sites I visited and flash runs great. Doesn't hinder scrolling and zooming. Everything is much better compared to the older dolphin HD.

That prob depends on what you need. I still want flash in my browser so to me Chrome doesnt do it for me.
One feature that I wish chrome and dolphin had for the s3 is the tilt zoom it looks like it has been removed from both. Both browsers have their + and -. I Use both :laugh:
I think you can still enable tilt scroll if you go to settings/then/labs and check off tilt scrolling

Boat browser rulez!
Awesome, I'll be trying this out. I used to have Dolphin Browser when I had my Samsung Vibrant but it seemed a tad bit laggy sometimes. Nice to hear that it's faster
I use three Browsers, the stock jellybean one, chrome and xscope. You guys should try xscope, it's been in the game longer then dolphin. One huge pro is that it's not bloated with nonsense.

Haven't been around xscope for while, is that your main browser?...I agree with boat ..like dolphin ..but I've thrown them the idea too have it setup like your aroma type install...never use voice search with it (use Google now) and I don't use gestures, love how you can custom boat, but each new update comes with more adds..chrome I agree but I watch allot of tv on my browser..and just a heads up this site here has like every tv show ever made..I've been watching homeland on it..great Show..give me a txs if this helps

for some reason on my t-mo S3 I tend to prefer the default browser IDK why although on my tablet I prefer it. IDK maybe i am just used to the default browser. As the only problem i have with the default browser is the tab options (using ICS) i frequently forget i have like 5+ tabs open sometimes. one thing Chrome and Dolphin excel at although no flash in chrome is a no go for me as my cable provider cox uses flash on its tv viewing page and has not app yet very very sad.
