Best browser?

I'm having alot of problems with downloads not completing with cm7 so am after a new browser,i like mirren except the color and flash when u scroll it covers up the tabs so was wondering if there are any other good browsers that have flash and are fast ?

There isn't a "best browser" they all have their disadvantages.
I use Miren browser for the ease of browsing and downloading.
I am testing Boat browser at the moment. This one is very fast.

In hindsight I probably should have put "favorite browser", I just wanted to gauge some opinions and get some suggestion, just tried boat and I find it abit ugly

I've tried Opera, Dolphin HD, Skyfire, Firefox... and whilst they all have good things going for them, I always end up back with the stock browser. Works well and looks most integrated with the rest of Sense... but then that's no use if you're using CM. So, in your case I'd try Firefox to begin with, and then Opera.

I really like stock browser on cm but downloads always fail, which when your downloading ,big files is abit of a problem
I didn't think firefox had flash support? I don't like opera lol

I have same problem as you and use Dolphin HD for all my downloads

Hmm I also had thus issue with downloads failing I gave up and reflasged the rom since then its been ok.
IMO tho Moreno browser the miui one is pretty good

i use Dolphin HD and is pretty good

I will go for opera mini if you need speed or stock browser. FireFox is good but has lots of bugs

i like Dolphin HD too

I have used dolphin browser for 2 weeks, but my battery drain raised, so I threw it out...

Strangely i did not take attention about the battery drain using various browsers... I'll check that

Skyfire is the best !

[Q] Best Web Browser

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

for me stock is best. To be able to download all files use app from market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.hwkrbbt.downloadall

That fixes my only complaint for the stock browser. Thanks

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

ty vitalij u save my day too,just test it and it did the work

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.
Now using dolphin and think its great

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.

It has to be the stock browser for me, does what I need it to and the only one which gives iPhone level smoothness on browsing on android.

Dolphin mini for me. Streamlined version with all the bloat removed, everything just works in it and its blazingly fast.

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.

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.

I'm using Firefox for Androit.
I had personal Problems with Opera thats why I'm using Firefox

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.

Nobody. I said opera has gpu acceleration and it's smoother. Stock browser also has it, is fast when loading pages but has a slower zoom and scroll. With ice cream sandwich i prefer stock browser (i used on sensation) but chrome will be a very good browser in the final version. Just my impressions.

Boat Browser, best one I have used so far (except the stock ICS browser and Chrome which come pretty close, but not everyone can use them at the moment)

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

Opera on my tablet, chrome & opera on my phone and stock on android-x86 on my netbook

Well, but text reflowing on zooming is slower on opera mobile. Also sometimes javascript doesnt work. Other than that opera is good browser. But i usually use stock one.

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.

[Q] What browser Do you use?

Was deciding on my browser and im between stock and chrome.
I also think many of you will be put into the dilemma since chrome is pre-installed on jelly bean. So im wondering what everyone else is using. I like chrome but it doesn't have full-screen options or flash but i presume chrome is faster(is it?)
anyone have a comparison between the 2?

Chrome seems to be a hog so I have been using ICS Browser + as it's light weight, full featured and is fast!
Sent from my EVO LTE using xda premium

Chrome was only the stock browser on the Nexus 7. There is a stock Android JB browser, I use it, it's fantastic.

I use Dolphin, it's working fine.

ICS Browser+ because Chrome still has some bugs

Dolphin - like the swipe sideways to bring up side bars. Seems to do everything I need it to do and is relatively nippy. Don't usr the voice or gestures actions though.

I was using stock browser, but now chrome is the best i can have. Simple and fast.

Used to use stock on HD2 (cyanogen 370) for quite long, then switched to Dolphin.
Tried Dolphin on HOX, no issues but swtiched to chrome since its really faster.
Finally Opera Mini, since dont know how but it uses less power.

I'm using Chrome at the moment

Stock browser. I like using the default apps if they're good, for the aesthetic reasons. And I actually find the stock browser to be better performance and feature wise, so it's a win-win.

I am using mozilla Aurora on the HOX and quite like it .Aurora is still in beta but seems to work fine for me

Boat Browser

I use opera mini next for just reading News, opera Mobile for Full Internet experience

The stock HTC one, I love it because even though I'm running jellybean its the only one I've used that works with flash properly without crashing. Obviously this isnt an issue for ICS users

Chrome even if I think it's too laggy but the tab sync is essential for me.

When I minimize opera mini and reopen that time it crashes and closes,even during toggle also it closes. Any solution.

I'll download Opera Mini and give it a shot. Give me a day to report back.
Also, Naked Browser is a good Alternative. I don't believe it's better, but GOOD alternative.

did you full wipe? try clearing app data then.. if not working the app has stability issues with either sense or ics... y u no use opera mobile?

Ya I did full wipe. Cleared data still same problem. Here internet connection speed is less so I do use opera mini which browses fast.
