I found the stock browser pretty dang good but it can't tab (can't figure out) so sometime I use dolphin mini. I found some custom roms preloaded with maxthon and also heard some people praised about the Opera, which I haven't try. Which one do you prefer?
Before I jumped to the dinc2 I used dolphin hd. But since the speed of the stock browser is pretty snappy here I now just use stock. As for tabs, there are no tabs in stock but you do have "windows". List press menu then press windows.
I always preferred dolphin because you can close the app whenever you want. The stock browser doesn't have this feature, i believe its "always" open. I've been told that it doesn't really matter because GB controls the memory for our phones pretty well, but I'm just OCD about that those kinds of things...
Xscope Pro is my fav just because it is the only browser with "Pin-to-zoom." This feature makes one-handed use a delight since double tap isnt always enough. It also has a file broswer and great bookmark tools. I really hope a new version comes out or Miren adds pin-to-zoom
Miren is amazing. If it had pin-to-soom and a working "'text selection" feature it would be hands down the best. It renders facebook the best and its main page and bookmaking and "one key backuping" are sweet.
Opera mini is allegedly/suppoosedl faster but i dont think os. I do like how selt-text and copy-paste work/look. wish i could set default download folder but that not a big deal.
Dolphine mini- not as many features as HD dolph but its fast and has enough featues to be mentione.
Also, stock MIUI is kinda sick.
FFbeta has soo much potential but needs flash support.
I've always liked the stock best, but after trying all the browsers I could find I like dolphin mini as a close second.

Boat Browser Mini is my fav
Stock here.
I like the stock miui browser, it feels very snappy and has a nice homepage layout.
Can't go wrong with Opera!

+1 for the Miui browser. Its one of the best but only available with the miui rom.
Stock works great, but I'm loving the latest release of Dolphin.
Wheres regular Opera not mini.
Thats the one I'm using. Really smooth and works great.
Am I the only one using Firefox mobile? Actually, don't use my browser much, but Firefox sync's all my bookmarks automatically between my Dinc2 and my desktop computer.
Whatever happened to chrome coming to the android platform? Once upon a time, there was talk...

Miren is very similar
The thing is Chrome would not truely be Chrome on our phones. Chrome is such a powerful browser because it opens each tab as a seperate process... It would be such a memory hog on the android so idk if it world work too well...

I was a big fan of it as well, until I tried Dolphin and Opera. They are both faster than the Miui browser.
Is there any browser that's quicker than the stock browser on odexed JVR?
I lovr Dolphin HD I have been using it for over a year. Try it out!
Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/

+1 for dolphin Hd
+1 for dolphin Hd
I am using opera mobile on my GS
So its safe to say that both dolphin HD and opera are faster than the stock browser, even on odexed firmware? Sweet, I'll just have to try them out then. Thanks

+1 opera mobile fast n smooth
Opera is very fast and smooth, however it doesn't give you the option to stream video only download it. This is when you use the stock browser to let the system know you want to stream
Opera Mobile it's really fast
I think dolphin browser is quite good.
It is easy to use.
stock browser.
Opera Mobile, their Data Compression system speeds things up x2.
My HTC Wildfire S runs MagicOS (Unicorn Hair, Rainbow Extract and Pixie Dust).
Since JVQ, and solved the deodexing issue, Stock Browser becomes faster and smoother.
No chance to the other browsers as Dolphin, Opera, Skyfire.
I think there is many users that haven't tried yet this browsing experience.
ChristhianC. -from my I9000 XDA Premium app
I also use Opera + Boat Browser (very fast and light too).
Tried everything, but nothi.g can beat smoothness of the JVQ+ stock browser.
JVQ, JVR stock browser, trust me, its really fast, panning, zooming, scrolling, no micro lag or lag at all.
i allready tried boat browser, opera mobile, dolphinHD, xscope (previously this my favorit). Now im using JVR stock browser.
Im totally agree with criscan (you guys should try it)
So far best browser i've tried is jvr stock one. Although it's even better if you use this modded stock one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203881
with this mod so its lagfree when deodex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212796
There is no lag at all
+1 stock browser. on jvr odexed rom it sooooo smooth :-D

First of all i want to apologize if any of my questions seem a little noob
I have still a locked bootloader (dont want to avoid warranty) and if i understand correctly i can only install roms 2.3.4 based, since i can't change kernel right? Wich is ok, cause i think ICS is not good enough for gaming experience.
Best roms available, like Xperia NXT or DIxperia 2 are great, but i was wondering is it possible to have a decent default browser too?
I mean, the best option will be having the default ICS Xperia browser (i test it on xperia mini pro official), but i understand that it's not possible to have that kind of smoothnes without video acceleration, so only ICS? On this matter, how can the Galaxy 2 (when still on 2.3.6) had a very smooth default browser, whithout video acceleration?

Since i was talkink about smoothnes, it doesn't matter. Dolphin uses the same engine of default browser, it's basically a skin. So, your Dolphin is smooth as Opera Mobile?
The latest Dolphin beta uses their own engine.

I can relate to needing the superior gaming of GB but missing the smooth browsing of ICS. And Opera Mobile being the best browser of a bad bunch on GB.
I'm a bit weird in liking a particular old version of Opera Mobile 11, why not try it? :fingers-crossed: I still think it's smoother than the new Dolphin beta and lets you scroll diagonally:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1310050386_Opera_Mobile_11.10.ADR-1107051709.apk
Honestly though, I ended up using Opera Mini since it's by far the fastest of all, and just keep whatever other full-fat browser around for when I need one. It's sad though cos I know from using ICS the device can do better.
Dont hate on me, i have tried CM7 and TA but this one is best, + i tried Gin2JB too, and it sucks for gaming.

It works? It says in the description that it isn't compatible with the N7.
Quick ICS Browser is an improved version of stock Android 4.0.3 Browser.
***Notice***
Nexus7 is currently not supported.
This browser doesn't work without Stock Browser.
***Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) Limitation***
cannot show url bar
cannot use auto text reflow

I tried it on Paranoid Android and it crashes back to the home screen quite a bit, some sites won't open fully and crash as well. I recently started using Boat Browser and like it a lot.
I hope Google adds the aosp browser back in the next ota. I am never stock but chrome is just crap compared to the stock jellybean browser in smoothness, speed, and features. Not to mention some apps depend on it.

You need a rom with the old Android stock browser included, quick browser and ics browser+ both rely on the stock browser for core functionality.
i was able to add stock browser on my N7.

only problem is that the URL bar is missing
***Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) Limitation***

as this is 4.1 problem, im hoping that it will be fixed soon.
edit: im attaching newest version of Quick ICS (free).
I'm on Paranoid Android 2.54 (4.1.2) and the url bar works!
Flash, Stock Browser and Tablet-UI. 4.1.2 is Android as it should be!

I am on unofficial Liquidsmooth 3.2 with fancy r56 and I am looking for the best browser with no lag at startup and not UI refresh at closure.
By now the best is native browser then Opera. Worse are Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox.
Can I speed up these browser with some settings? Which browser do you have?
Sorry for my English

Chrome Beta or Stock browser are the best for me.

Another vote for CM Browser.
Cm is the best by now, thanks
im currently using atlas browser. sastisfied for now.
Default browser is the fastest, but Firefox has addons and isn't far behind in performance
For me the best is opera
Also Firefox seems to be ok: on testing
I really advice you to edit your thread. Just ask the last question from the op. There is no best in anything. Everyone has a different taste. There is no best ROM, no best kernel and no best browser.
