[Q] Looking for a fast aftermarket browser for evo/flash...

Is there an aftermarket browser that works very well with the evo and flash?

not really, most have issues with macromedia, adobe shouldnt be a problem, I use firefox but it still has pinch to zoom issues, I keep it because no other downloads as well, I've lost signal for 10 minutes on a mediafire download and it resumed while others would have dropped it

I use miren browser

http://www.skyfire.com/
Best browser out there. It was the best on Windows Mobile...and when I got my Evo I tried all the others and ended up back on Skyfire.

it just seems that the stock browser is slow. skyfire sucked on my hero and i didnt need or want all the social options integrated within it, in fact, the only browser that i ever used was opera mini. I dont NEED flash but its nice to have the option.
guess im just seeking something faster. thank you

perhaps a better question could be: which browsers actually support flash? thank you thank you

Dolphin is great in my opinion. Plus it gives you the option to run flash on the page instead of automatically running it. This saves on page load time.

ill try dolphin again also. i just installed skyfire and am messing around with it. so far it seems pretty fast via wifi. i hate ads but i also hate paying for licenses...especially on browsers. thanks!

flash always works in miren for me when i set it to chrome desktop..

so far I have really like Opera Mobile - sometimes pages are a little off but I haven't had any major issues with it - I even like the way tabbed browsing works (I went to nVidia's site to be sure flash worked and it seemed fine to me)
I am an Opera fan though and use it on my desktops to
have read a lot of good things about Dolphin HD tho I have never tried it

I take it, then, that they've added Flash support to Opera for Android. When I first got my Evo (last fall) I tried it and it didn't work. I settled on Skyfire. One thing to understand about it is that it is not a raw browsing experience. The page is pulled through their proxy servers which "process" it and deliver the content to your phone. One of the cool options is to view in-page videos through the proxy which optimizes them on-the-fly for mobile devices. I've even watched streaming live sports that way and it works great.

now this is something I do know about - that of which you speak is Opera Mini - that does proxy websites - I am not using that - I am using Opera Mobile (two different Opera's - they make 2 kinds of mobile browsers (mini has always been free - mobile used to cost but I didn't have to pay so it seems to be free now to)
Opera Mobile is a full browser and operates as the desktop version would with no proxy servers involved in reconfiguring the websites then forwarding them - it just pulls the data straight to the device

Another "Best Browser" thread

Looking for a browser that displays "all" web pages properly, plays flash and html5 like it should. A test page in particular: http://realtour.biz/modules/stats/listing/?P=113963
This is a random reality listing that I can't get to display in Boat, Xscope or Chrome on my N7, but looks fine on a PC in any browser.

Once I get home, I'll try out the website in "Dolphin Browser". It normally seems to work great for Flash sites.
If you can't wait til I get home, then just try downloading it and give your feedback.
It's the best browser IMO.

Works & runs fine (with Flash) in Naked Browser . I've never seen a browser work like the stock ICS browser + no UI. It's just fast - plain & simple. No syncing of bookmarks tho so if that's a deal breaker, that one isn't for you. I use it across all my higher end devices & never have an issue. It's stable on my N7 & Galaxy Nexus. It supports flash just fine, too.

I just tried Naked. Looks sweet, but crashes on that page. The page opens with 3 down arrows (for flash), click flash and blank colors show up, then browser crashes. Should get a bunch of stats in the 3 boxes. Got a particular setting that works?

Strange. You have the latest flash apk from Adobe's website, right?
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.34/install_flash_player_ics.apk
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

I have Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34). It also crashes as soon as I click any flash start arrow. Just tried one on Amazon, and got the "isn't responding do you want to exit" message.
edit: For the heck of it I installed the apk in your 1st link, it is also .34. Naked also crashed, but I tried it in Boat again and it opened fine... but then crashed after a few seconds. The flash on Amazon site (and most other sites) run fine in Boat.

Shi t. Ya you're right. You know what...I stupidly tried it (in Naked Browse) on my Galaxy nexus - not Nexus 7. Doh.
Ya it crashes for me too. However, it does work fine in Firefox Beta for my Nexus 7

I was hoping it didn't work in FF... I was using it, but is slower than Boat (or Naked), and I uninstalled it the other day. I think I'll stick with Boat (although will keep playing with Naked).

Has anyone from the Google Android team ever addressed why Chrome functions so poorly compared to the other Android browsers? You'd think Google could get their own browser in their own OS performing at least on par with other browsers.

I actually think Chrome functions well other than the fact it doesn't support Flash, and tends to "block pixelate" when scrolling sometimes. If it had Flash, it's all I'd have on my N7.

The site doesn't crash my devices. I should have access to a Nexus 7 after Christmas so I'll see if I can fix it in Naked Browser (I wrote that app).

I'm really liking Naked! It's fast. And speaking of browsers, I decided to uninstall Chrome updates and its file size went from 45mb to 3mb! (had no cache or history to start); but even after adding some bookmarks and history to Naked, it's only 750k.

Works like a charm with Aurora (Firefox alpha cycle).

I have zero use for flash so chrome is perfect for me. I'm not sure what the complaints are about. Its fast stable and ...well what else is there?

I use flash just fine all you have to do is sideload it and use a 3rd party browser and flash works just like it did on ICS and websites didn't suddenly decide to use flash most sites are actually migrating to html5 and have the option to choose the flash version or html5 version of the site. Be glad you don't have an iFail they've never had flash and you can't even sideload it to get it working:thumbdown:

Flash works just fine on stock browser. For most sites I visit anyway. Pm me for the flashplayer.apk I use.

sounds more like a flash player issue than an Android one. You can side load Flash Player as at least one person has stated; one even offered to send APK.
The problem, flash player hasn't really been updated for ICS and beyond. It will work. In my experience, how well it works on sites is very dependent how that particular site encoded their flash content. I've had where video plays fine until I go full screen, the picture disappears but I have audio. And Adobe is no longer giving any support for the mobile flash player; maybe if there is some critical security issue to fix it.
What you can try to do is trying using different browsers that can use Flash Player such as Boat or Dolphin. I use Boat for flash sites. I only go to limited sites for those needs. I couldn't get Dolphin to open, but on the Evo 4G is was most flash friendly (gave the least problem in regards to flash player). There are a couple others browsers. Too bad Google didn't want do it for Chrome since I like how it works on the desktop version.
I'm not familiar with any of the aninme sites. There may be altermatives to use. You could trying use Plex and book marking the videos you want to see on the desktop. Then later you can load the Plex Android app to watch it; works well unless there are commercials and they use a different feed; it doesn't switch back to the main video. You could see if the sites lets you downlaod the video and play through a media such a Google Play, BS Player, Mobo Player and so on.
As for Gingerbread, you're going to need custom rom that someone will probably need to make from the ground up since no variant was released with it. Then there are the carrier specifics for drivers and radios. It's a lot of work that I don't think many users would be interested in using, which can have a major influence on developers taking the challenge. People want the upcoming Android, not stuff from two years ago.

Hmm Ok Thanks

I've noticed an issue on stock TW (LK8) where flash sites cause it to fail loading and then crashes the browser. Restarting the browser get the page to load.
But keep in mind that's not the direction that the internet standard is going. Flash as a video tool is being phased out as HTML5 standards now support most of the content that Flash used to - without Adobe having to absorb costs of development and support for Flash Players across the spectrum. Some sites will take longer than others to make the transition... but there are always other sites out there.
And for general info - whether it's TV, Anime, etc. - I recommend downloading a (legal) copy over streaming whenever possible. Sure it takes a little longer to plan and get the files... but then you get a better quality viewing experience and no lag - no matter how many times you watch it!

Also adobe flash doesn't work in chrome. I use and older version of adobe 11.1 but ends with the last numbers in .58 and it works with some browsers including android stock or at least it did in android 4.2 haven't really gotten a chance to test it on 4.3 since I'm stock but flash still work with Firefox with some finagling and also works with boat browser.

I don't understand why they'd take away a smooth superior browser in favour of chrome. Stock browser beats chrome in every way.

Couldn't agree more. I run Chrome on my PC (and am reluctant to switch to anything else), but on every android device I own, the stock browser just renders better/smoother. And the quick controls are great, as someone mentioned above.

Chrome sucks on this tablet

I always felt Web browsing was too sluggish on my T800. It even felt felt like pages would take a long time to load... as if my internet was slow.
I saw in another thread someone mentioned that the stock browser performed better for them, so I gave it a shot. Man, what a difference. It is VERY noticeably more responsive. Smooth scrolling, pages load faster (though I still feel not fast enough... no idea why).
Why does chrome perform so poorly on this tablet? Or is it that the stock browser is just that much better?
I wish I could import my browsing history, bookmarks, etc from chrome. Main reason why I used it.
Anyone else noticed how bad chrome runs on this tablet?

I'm just as disappointed as you especially when chrome is a Google product. Lately I've been using Opera for tablet and it's much better then all of the other ones. There are some minor bugs but nothing i can't live with.

It is rather slow on this tablet.

The thing the stock browser does best is embedded videos. It is almost at PC level performance. In Chrome or Dolphin forget having a positive experience. In Dolphin videos take 10 seconds to load then constantly buffer.

I installed it after reafing the Play Store reviews yesterday where people claimed that it improved their experience immensely, but im currently using Chrome Beta and only switched to it from the stock browser at that time so I cannot say really if it is an improvement for me or not. So far so good though. Maybe some regular chrome users can give it a try and report back.

Hmmm. I'm running Chrome Beta as well and I guess it seems to load pages faster. The way that Chrome does bookmarks continues to annoy. 3 clicks. Every time I want to access a bookmark it takes 3 clicks, menu, bookmarks, bookmark. Could Google literally make it any harder? Neater Bookmarks which works so well on Chrome desktop isn't available on Android. Also I can't even add a new bookmark to my desktop bookmarks from my tablet. And in Kit Kat Google removed the ability to sync the stock browser with Chrome bookmarks. No worries, want to just import your bookmarks into the stock browser? Sorry you can't do that now either. It's as if instead of fixing Chrome they are trying to force us into using it by breaking everything else.
How about a bookmarks sidebar Google? I mean would it KILL you?
Don't you just hate it when that nifty software "upgrade" breaks all of your favorite features?

Chrome keeps your browser history in sync on all devices, so no need for bookmarks, manual syncing, whatsoever.

That is if you want to use Chrome. Before KitKat you could sync Chrome bookmarks with the stock browser. No more. Also you cannot add a bookmark to your desktop synced Chrome bookmarks. Try it. You can't. So so lame.
Just tested. Samsung tablet hack doesn't make stock Chrome any faster. Does seem to speed up Beta a bit. Considering all of the other hassles Chrome browser delivers almost not worth it.

Stock browser is still superior to Chrome Beta even with hack.

Atlas shows promise but a couple things make it not yet competitive with the stock browser:
1) It needs a dedicated bookmarks button on the menubar. As far as I can tell you have to click menu then bookmarks and then your bookmark. 3 steps just like Chrome. I could have missed the dedicated button if there is one.
2) The bookmarks tree collapses every time you select a bookmark. It should reopen to the last folder you had open so you don't have to drill down each time.
3) Doesn't seem to play embedded videos yet. It will play them on the YouTube website but could not get them to launch in other websites.
4) It is a little slower to load Web pages with Javascript enabled than stock browser IMHO.
Nice start but not a stock replacement yet.

I don't sync my pc bookmarks with my mobile devices. My activities on the pc, financial transactions, paying bills, etc I don't typically use on my mobile devices. (I travel every week so my pc doesn't get much other use) The few that I use on both (XDA) I just save on one device then it syncs with the rest.

As far as I can tell the only browser which allows for complete unlimited bookmarking across all platforms is Maxthon. They have a nice desktop browser and seamlessly syncs over the cloud with your Android Maxthon. Also easy to import bookmarks from other platforms. The ONLY thing that makes me nuts about Maxthon is that every time you choose a new bookmark from your bookmark tree it opens it in a new tab so you end up with 80 tabs open. There is no way to turn this off and no reason for it. It is like they created the perfect browser then left one insanely stupid thing right in the middle of it, like a supermodel with broccoli in her teeth. Tons of people complain about this on their message boards but they never change it. For some reason THEY think it's a good idea. It's not.
Anyway for multiplatform bookmark syncing and fast browsing you can't beat Maxthon - just that one damned stupid "feature" makes it just a little less that perfect.
If you try this use the Fast version, not the Tablet version. Embedded videos are super fast using this.
UPDATE. Damn this latest version of Maxthon BLAZES.
