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

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 !
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.

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 :/

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.
So... wat web browser are you using?
I'm still using the stock one~ ><
Btw.. hi guys~ im new in this section... used to have a XDA Atom...
Stock is fine but pitch to zoom on browser is a bit flakey

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...

that's why I use stock one ATM. Chrome is fast on wifi connections though
In my 4 android dolphin use is simple, easy to use, does not consume many resources, I would say the perfect browser
Will try the dolphin

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!

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....

hello guys, i was wondering what the best browser for this phone was. which one is the smoothest with private browsing. thanks in advance...
try dolphin hd browser very nice smooth and awesome if you hit the back button it display a window if you wanna erase your history etc..
I like the stock browser...I downloaded the ics browser from the market yesterday and its pretty nice too. I just like the stock look of the browser. Other browsers I have tried just seem to clutter up the screen with too many options.
I use Dolphin HD as well; it's very smooth.

I played with a lot of browsers. stock is actually very good and fast.
opera mobile and dolphin are both great browsers. another great browser is boat browser. Dolphin however gave me some problems.

Dolphin HD
GT-N7000
Dolphin HD is a very good browser, also gives you an option to close out of the browser and clear the cache and history. I recommend this.
Dolphin for me
Maxthon is best browser in my view. You may check which 1is best at: http://html5test.com

Try Quick ICS on Google Play Store. The real feature in this browser is to be able to customize the Quick Controls (read in that description). This is by far truly the fastest way to browse -with one hand!. I got mine customized to open, close tabs, launch bookmarks, go back & forward, reload page and manage tabs. With just the thumb, I can browse with ease. Another cool think is to setup upper / lower quick controls. On the upper, I have the "change browser mode" to switch between desktop and android - helps in loading certain pages that won't load properly with android mode. And on the lower controls, I have enabled Find and Invert screen. The invert helps reading at night / in bed. and of course the find to search stuff on the page.
Check it out. Plus, it is free.
Dolphin HD has been good for me. It has crashed a few times though where I've had to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it working again. Mind you, this was on a custom ROM (Beastmod 4.2) and I'm now on ICS via Darkside and have had no problems with it as of yet. I like the plugins that you can install such as the PDF saver and what not.
Many browsers can go from mobile/Android view to desktop not just dolphin.
Opera mini is fast but some things do not work fully because i think it's optimized for mobile viewing.
The fastest i think goes to boat browser. You guys can check that out. They copied dolphin a bit. The most fully functional would be opera mobile, but is slow at times. Dolphin is a great browser too, but there are times it does not load pages correctly or download correctly otherwise i would definitely go with them.

Yeah I switch from opera to dolphin and viceversa constantly.
Opera = almost 100% functional, but slow, ugly interface (having to tap 3 times to switch tabs for example)
Dolphin = Smooth, pretty and fast interface, but sometimes doesn't load pages correctly. (like pages w/ animated gifs)
