no one care about browsing?

I use Opera Mini most of the time... It's by far the fastest browser you can have!
Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 is already pretty nice, but for everyday use I use 4.2, which doesn't support multiple tabs.

[Q] Hardware Accelerated Browser

Are there any hardware accelerated browsers available for Android currently, other than the Samsung browser? I'm not sure whether the Opera Mobile 10.1 beta uses it, it was talked about a lot months ago but talk of such has since stopped. Additionally, Opera Mobile hasn't been updated since mid-November, and still has a lot of quirks (scrolling in general isn't optimized, text input boxes/soft keyboard behavior is annoying, incorrect page rendering etc). But either way, general panning and pinch-to-zoom is still noticeably smoother than with the stock browser, and it's got me looking for other options, which I can't find.
From what I know, Stock, Miren, Firefox, Dolphin, and Skyfire all don't use it either.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Stock Sense browser is indeed accelerated, Dolphin HD is as well. Skyfire is in a way, just not on the phone side of things in that all the web pages are rendered on the server side. Pretty sure Opera uses it both in the Mobile and Mini versions though I'm like you and hate the quirky behavior of it.

[Q] I want to port VLC player

Hello!
I want to port VLC player. What I need?
I know I need:
Visual Studio 2012 to port/compile the program.
A Windows PC in which I use Visual Studio.
And a Surface RT for testing purposes.
But what I need besides this? I desire to compile/port this program.

More skill than the VLC team that has been attempting to port it themselves for ~12 months?
In fairness, they're trying to port it as a WinRT (Windows Store) app, not a standard Win32 desktop app. But they're still needing to do crazy stuff with the compiler so forth. VLC *does not* currently compile under MSVC; it's apparently full of GCC-isms. GCC doesn't currently target Win32/ARM. You need to either get VLC to build under MSVC or GCC to target Windows RT before porting VLC will be possible.
Hopefully the latter happens. That would open up a ton of other software too; VLC is far from the only open-source program that is available for Windows but doesn't build under MSVC.
Hmm... I wonder if it builds under Clang? Getting Clang to target RT is probably easier than getting GCC to do so; Clang was designed to be easily hackable, while GCC is practically the opposite.

That a good news for me. Hope you success with VLC porting. If not. It maybe easier to write some GUI for FFplay for Windows RT.

Which Browser do you use?

I wanted to ask which browser you use?
The Samsung Thing?
Chrome?
Firefox?
Other?
Your experience?

Chrome, just because of the integration between phone, Chromebook and PC.

I use Chrome mainly but at night I use Samsung's browser for its night mode.

I've voted Chrome. I use it on all my Androids, on my Mac and on my PC and the history & password manager integration between devices & platforms is great. However, I find the Samsung browser to be much faster than Chrome.

I switched to Firefox for a few reasons on my desktop about 6 months ago but mobile Firefox is still trash performance wise and has weird scrolling so I'm using Chrome. I miss having my bookmarks synced

I use Samsung Internet :good:

I use Mercury and Firefox.
