[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.

Good browser with flash?

I know about Dolphin browser HD but that thing just doesn't catch files to SD. Does Opera Mobile have flash support?
Please don't say stock browser.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Premium App

Opera mini doesn't have flash support.
Stock browser is the only browser I know.

Opera Mobile has ^_^ tested.

I only used opera mini.
Is opera mobile better?

I personally think it is. But its just preference
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Opera Mobile is for users with 3G and WiFi.

I think I will get opera mobile for when I am at home and use opera mini for when I'm out.

Yeah. But Flash in Opera Mobile is a bit laggy as compared to Dolphin Browser HD or out stock browser. But I still support Opera. I kinda hate Dolphin :/

Best browser?

Which is the best PROVEN browser on Android? please give opinions also, I use xscope at the moment but is there a better one out there? I used to use dolphin mini but changed, what's the best?
Thanks
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

That will always come down to personal preference. Personally I like Dolphin HD, it's almost as functional as a full desktop browser and supports plugins

I Tried Xscope but it didn't let me manage my bookmarks into folders and Dolphin used to crash when starting up. Now I am using Opera which surprised me as I hated it years ago on symbian but its really good these days.

Gonna have to go with opera, myself. I particularly like that you can set it to use less bandwidth while not on wifi.

Opera Mobile is pretty fast, but lacks flash I think. The full opera is pretty much the same as any other browser.

Opera Mobile does have Flash support & seems to be the fastest...Dolphin browser is good as it can get add-ons as our normal PC browser add-ons...

Easily answered: DOLPHIN HD

Will try dolphin

Bumping this thread... I used to have an iPhone (it was the only way of getting unlimited data in the UK at one point, shoot me :cyclops so outright smoothness in browsing means the most to me. I use an old version of Opera Mobile (11.10.ADR-1107051709) below... The hardware acceleration really helps. I think this site is legit, if not mods please remove... It has flash and you can set the user agent to "Desktop" if not other to other machines.

Opera Mini is the best for saving on CPU/battery and is fastest because the rendering goes on on the server, but 404 File Not Founds come back annoyingly on secondary Google hits.
The newer versions of Opera Mobile seem more choppy, and I can't stand the webkit browsers (everything else). On ICS webkit becomes hardware accelerated, but I like my games too much not to stick to GB.

I prefer Dolphin hands down. If not dolphin then the Miren browser

A bit of a bump, but I'm very happy with the new Opera Mobile (12.1.1). It's smoother than any other browser I'm aware of on Xperia Play + Gingerbread. The only problem is it takes a few seconds to start up (and you can get a "Application not Responding" during that sometimes).

I tried a couple dolphin crashed on startup for me alot but when it worked was great but I prefere maxthon stable pretty fast and simple
Xperia Play-
Dixperia 2
V6 Supercharger
Lightning Launcher
LFC!

Thanks for the answers and comments

I use Dolphin Beta & stock browser.
Dolphin Beta has some minor issues that need to be fixed while the stock browser works fine but is missing a lot of features compared to other browsers.

try using dolphin browser with the dolphin jet-pack add-on, i use and its pretty fast.

i use the stock one ever since... especially in ICS the stock has been much improved!

If you want more customization, dolphin browser might be the one, otherwise, use the minimalist opera mobile.

I really like Chrome but it's just not stable enough for daily use.

Firefox is out for me. It's the only browser that doesn't properly display Khmer Unicode.

Ya... Chrome is a bit buggy with the sense keyboard...
I'm still sticking to the stock browser until the bug is fixed...

In my 4 android dolphin use is simple, easy to use, does not consume many resources, I would say the perfect browser

I use Opera on all of my devices and computers.
So it's Opera Mobile on my One V.

For me dolphin browser is the right choice.

Opera Mini
I like Opera Mini... (NOT Opera Mobile)

Google chrome works good for me!
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA

Opera mini here too

Opera mobile here. It works flawless and it's faster than stock by far.

Opera Mini works great for me.

Still stock for me.
I like the labs-quick control feature. But haven't tried other browsers to compare

Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox both are good fou me and stock one also....

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.

Sent from my One V

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.
