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.
Trying hard to move from dolphin hd to either stock browser or chrome beta,but they just seem so limited in set up options compared to dolphin.in stock I can't group bookmarks for similar topics into folders,in chrome I can't seem to stop it display mobile pages on spine sites.If any one has made the switch some tips would be great

I use opera mini on 3g as it has great data compression, no flash support however. I use the stock browser on WiFi or if I'm wanting to view a flash site.

Hi,
I wa just wondering about what was the best browser, in terms or performance, power consumption and features.. I've installed dolphin hd and chrome beta.. my impressions is that the stock browser behaves better than the dolphin hd browser, but this one has some features like plugins which can be useful.. I have not used chrome too much so I don't have an opinion about it yet.. what do you think?

Using Chrome on all my ICS devices. Especially since Chrome syncs the browsers.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I found that the stock browser occasionally hangs when loading pages with lots of text. switched to chrome and I find this much faster + the syncing across devices is useful
I use opera great options available and its snappy
Mod or Die
Chrome Beta as main browser. Occasionally I use stock, and Opera+Dolphin Browser HD. For now, sticking with Chrome.
Opera everywhere
2 pc's, 1 laptop, 1 tablet, 2 phones
syncs bookmarks, history, searches, tiles automatically
Chrome beta is best on android so far, tried all others.

Do a test, compare them. What I do is I try zooming and scrolling obviously, but then the final test is to open website like www.techradar.com, desktop version of course, zoom out completely in portrait mode and observe smallest text. You will notice it won't be the same on all browsers, it will be better looking on some.
I use Opera on PC and One X, but flash in Opera seems broken on ICS.
I'm really trying to move away from dolphin but I can't get either stock or chrome.to perform.as dolphin does .chrome oftern displays some websites in mobile format,and stock doesn't allow you to group like bookmarks in folders or if they do om yet to find them

Chrome Beta is fast and smooth definitely give it a try
Opera mobile for me stutter a lot.. anyone with this issue (or are you using opera next)?
Chrome works fine.
I was happy with the stock browser, however after trying Chrome yesterday I'm already converted over. Using it to view this site now and it just looks and navigates brilliantly and the sync with my MacBook helps too!
I like the speed and the pinch to zoom of the stock browser and the features , plugins and design of the Dolphin browser... I'm trying to use the chrome browser but it gives me the idea it still lacks something... Maybe when it comes out of the beta (if ever) it will be better.
BTW, I see that few people uses dolphin, don't you like it?

I am using the stock browser because has read mode like safari and the read it later also.
I have try before all the other at my SGSii. Chrome is nice and fast but hasn't the futures of the htc browser.
I ditched Opera Mobile for Chrome Beta, its awesome. Most slick browser have ever used. Lovin it
I've installed chrome beta, dolphin hd and opera mobile and my conclusion is that the stock browser is the fastest and smoothest.. chrome and opera are not so smooth when scrolling... Dolphin and the stock browser have text reflow, which I like, and dolphin has some interesting plugins like screen-cut.. I see no point in using opera mobile... About chrome, the sync feature is good, but it's still inferior to dolphin and stock, IMHO...

Chrome keep match more ram. Stock is the best but it raises temperature more than the others. Special if you try to write a big post in the forum.
Chrome even better when you can sync it to chromium and then spy on gf to see what she is looking at when you are at work

I really like Chrome but it's just not stable enough for daily use.

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 mini here too
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....

i'am using opera mobile
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.

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.
