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!

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 use Opera Mobile. My bank's online app only works in Opera and I use it a lot and also Opera is a fast fully featured browser. I recommend it

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.

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 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

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.
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.

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?

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

Stock browser.
I was using Chrome and I liked it a lot, but suddenly, after one update, performance dropped horrendously. It was when they introduced smooth scrolling.
Stock browser...its the best!!

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.

Dolphin Browser,because it was (again WAS) a perfect and fast browser that I ever had when first time installing it...now,after a ton of update for the browser,it occasionally suddenly crash...I can only bear with it since it was a perfect browser for me

ICS+ browser.
Opera mini & stock browser.
Naked browser
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

Firefox, for the sync function (I use it on my desktop and laptop aswell).
Boatbrowser used to be my favorite, but that one had to go since it was too buggy (was getting 50% loading stop bug all the time).
AOSP would probably be my second choise...
Tried Chrome, Dolphin, Next Browser and Opera and never liked any of them.
