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

Agree. It's by far the best browser I've tried on Android. The quick controls are great.

Have any of you guys seen the m.gizmodo.com site on ff.
It doesn't display right... It looks right on Chrome and stock browser though.
Clearing cache or anything else doesn't help

I use the stock AOSP browser but I find myself using chrome from time to time when I need the sync feature.I wish chrome supported flash and full screen mode,wouldn't mind if it stayed relatively slow compared to stock browser.

I put Boat Browser over all of the mentioned. In my opinion BB is totally underrated. It's fast, stable, has many features and even addons. The shortcuts for bookmarks on the start page are cool, too.

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

Browser on One X

Just looking to see what people are using for their internet browsers on the One X... at the minute im just using the stock but looking to change.
Had artefacts on screen with stock so gone back to trusty Dolphin HD, which is much more fully featured anyway
Chrome beta.
Used to use Opera a lot.
Maxthon is supposed to be good, but I hated it. Apparently flash works though.
Chrome Beta
Although scrolling can lag a bit on graphic heavy pages (is everyone having this problem?) compared to the stock browser, I actually prefer the slowness/responsiveness of the scrolling if that makes sense. Dare I say similar to the type of scrolling on an iPhone. Also love the pretty UI and being able to sync open tabs/bookmarks with the PC!
Downsides are the lag, no flash! and embedded youtube videos don't work even as links.
Only used the stock browser and chrome beta on my one X. On my desire I used stock, dolphin and sky fire.
Chrome beta is the best browser I have ever used on any mobile device, highly recommended!

Ics browser+ but I intend to try out chrome too.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I used the stock browser for 5 minutes before getting frustrated with activating the menu.
A lot of people seemed to recommend Dolphin HD so I downloaded it and have to say it's pretty good. Fast, easy to switch tabs etc. Nice plug-in to switch between Desktop and mobile mode too.
Always used dolphin on my desire HD but decided to give the stock browser ago on my HOX,try as I might I can't find out save my bookmarks into separate folded like on dolphin can in be done?

ICS and browsers

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.
I use Opera Mini for everything.
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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
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...

Which browser is king? (Opinions are welcomed)

Which browser is the best out of the big names (Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, Default etc.) I just don't know because lateley with these new updates they let me down in diff areas. I wanna be a one browser man lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999
I used XScope for the longest of time. I really liked how it functioned. But I currently use Dolphin. I like the reliability and how it handles swipe gestures.
You know what sucks? No third party browser supports links to apps. They don't open party store or Google plus. They open the websites. Except boat browser does play store but no other ones. Only browsers that support those links are stock and chrome. And stock mod browsers obviously
I know, the only gripe I have with dolphin is that when you dont pinch zoom into a page and click a tiny link next to another link example: Xda next page and last page chrome has like a popup that enlarge them for you.. I dunno if dolphin has this and you have to set it up or w/e but its a good app. Lol and everyone flames the default.

I use opera mini 7.5 for browsing.one browser if i have to download something very reliable and downloading never fails even u exit the application u can continue downloading when u restart it

What internet browser do you use?

Hi, I've been using Firefox since I got my Ion back in June 2012, but lately I feel it has gotten a lot slower and it went from crashing the home screen every once in a while to every time I use the browser. By crashing the home screen I mean forcing all the icons and widgets to reload once I exit the browser.
So I'm curious as to what browsers are you guys using now.
The stock browser is very good, fast and has some options
I use it with wifi networks. For 3G I use opera mini

Chrome is good because of connectivity with pc and syncing but it's kinda slow compared to dolphin or stock. And also chrome doesn't support fullscreen which is a negative for me.
Mostly I use dolphin and its really good and now there is a plugin for connectivity with chrome and syncing tabs between pc and phone. Whenever I am on 3g I use opera mini, it is really good with data usage and pages open faster because they are compressed.

I use ICS Browser +
Based on stock Browser, it feels lightweight and fast, but with many extras and an intuitive handling.
Those that say chrome, cos of the sync with pc, you do know the stock browser does that as well don't you? I found chrome And stock almost identical apart from a few ui differences
