Looks original enough.
Looks legit. Seems an xda member ported it. Check about. Lol. It's nice. Pretty fast. But it has some stuff in another language for some reason.

Lol screw "nice" and "pretty fast" this is the ****. Pretty damn awesome lol I'm loading websites in less than half the time it took with Dolphin and Maxthon.
DOLPHIN HD BROWSER IS BETTER, looks like google chrome too
I ditched Dolphin for Maxthon, and I'm ditching Maxthon for this. Don't really care for the gestures as long as it's faster, and this is.

Hmm a friend on stock rom tried this and had to uninstall because he said it slowed down his phone. Wonder why. It's fine on mine.
its nice but the apk is very small the original chrome has over 10mb.Greeeeeeetz
Okay did some digging around. The browser is Miren, not Chrome. It's a browser from China and has a MIUI feel. An xda member translated it to English. Now why anyone would go through the bother of labeling it as Chrome I have no idea.
Still pretty awesome though. Seems I've been testing a lot of Chinese apps lately. XD

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

I've used dolphin,miren and opra but Samsung stock is snappy and stable.

I have used opera mini and didn't like it, skyfire was good but stopped me downloading anything like apk's etc for some reason.

I use dolphin hd. Used it across 3 generations of android
Phones and still love it.
I would deffinately say dolphin browser is the best.

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.

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?

You can request a desktop version of almost any site with the stock ics browser by just hitting the menu button and checking that option.

The Chrome browser doesn't have flash?? Is it going to get it?
I'm currently using the stock ICS browser in CM9 and it gets the job done. Previously I used Dolphin Browser HD.
Im using stock browser too its really fast and can do java/flash within less then a second even on bad days!

The AOSP browser works the best for me.
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!

Prefered Browser
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.

Honestly all I run on my pc's and Macs is chrome. But on my phone as much as I have tried to use Chrome there's always little bugs that frustrate me. In my book, dolphin hd is the BEST browser for mobile platforms.

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...
So guys what do you think about the new firefox for Android running on Galaxy S3 !?
I saw it dramaticly smoothet than Google Chrome ( Specially in opening Desktop version websites ) & faster , and lets not forget it supports Flash but Chrome doesnt support it . Im using it as my primary Browser & Im loving it
( Dont forget to check the addons also , you can find useful stuff there )
So what do you think ?

Well, in my oppinion Stock Browser is smoother then Chrome and Firefox is smoother then Chrome too, but Stock Browser wins this round for me, but what keeps me away from Firefox is that there's no AdBlock extension yet and that Google looks like the one from 10 years ago, when i had Nokia 3310 >_> I have no idea why they dont change that, so that mobile would be recognized as "Android" and would display the correct Google site...

You have to download an addon and tell it how you wanna be interduced to the website ( as an iPhone , Android , iPad , PC or whatever )
ya stock browser is smooth but It doesnt have the smart zoom by double tappin and I dont like the fool animation of swiching between opened tabs delays your work and not handy ( the best tab swicher is on Chrome )

Just test FF and Chrome on xda dev site and FF feels definitely faster and smoother while panning around the page :thumbup:
I guess for me it is a personal preference i have all my bookmarks backed up to my gmail and Chrome restores them on my phone. So for me Chrome wins maybe ff will let me do that but can't be arsed..
The best is stock smooth as firefox and also has reflow of the text when you go onto readiablity mode and chrome and firefox both don't have

Currently on Dolphin Browser and been using it since my EVO 3D days. Never tried Chrome and I heard it could be slow, after the new update though, I heard it is lightning fast. So just wondering other's opinions.

Chrome. Dolphin browser can be more convenient and easily navigatable at times, but also hates a lot of websites.. Half the time you press a link and it does nothing for me. Then to change browsing type (android, desktop, tablet, mobile), you have to go deeper into settings than liked. Personally overall I like chrome more

Nope. It's actually quite efficient. It takes Less RAM, than the xda app. 0.3mb less. And is barely any noticeable impact on battery life. What will kill your battery though is having your screen on though like with any app.
