What do you guys think the best browser is? The stock browser is good but one problem I found is that you can't download some files, like rar.
Firefox is another good browser in been using but it doesn't have flash player, which is a huge bummer.
What do you guys use, and why?
Hi,
I use skyfire 4.0 , just because it is straight forward
Others like Dolphin HD. personally i dont as when you scroll left or right a menu pops up - could be deactivated i guess !!. Dolphin also has gestures which is a great feature

for me stock is best. To be able to download all files use app from market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.hwkrbbt.downloadall

That fixes my only complaint for the stock browser. Thanks
I've used dolphin,miren and opra but Samsung stock is snappy and stable.
Thumbs up for Samsung Browser.

ty vitalij u save my day too,just test it and it did the work
I have used opera mini and didn't like it, skyfire was good but stopped me downloading anything like apk's etc for some reason.
Now using dolphin and think its great
I use dolphin hd. Used it across 3 generations of android
Phones and still love it.
I would deffinately say dolphin browser is the best.

It has to be the stock browser for me, does what I need it to and the only one which gives iPhone level smoothness on browsing on android.

Dolphin mini for me. Streamlined version with all the bloat removed, everything just works in it and its blazingly fast.

Dam ..How did this one slip through the net lol
Very useful app dude..
i use dolphin as it lets me take off the notification bar, when i view video.
For me Opera Mobile wins. Full screen, extremely fast, super smooth scrolling, nice interface. Also, Opera always reflows the text, when using pinch to zoom, which the other browsers don't.
Boat Browser, not popular but really rocks
Stock browser works great. Only thing is I have to use opera mini for some websites.
Mini dolphin is pretty good also. I personally don't like dolphin hd.

LOL HILARITY ENSUES! For a while I've been wondering if this was possible and man, only because I'm interested in the SGS 2 I wandered in here and found this solution!
Thanks a lot!
Miren Browser. As fast as Dolphin Mini but with more features and less ugly than Dolphin HD. All the above mentioned just uses the phone's browser engine to render anyways so performance should be the same as stock more or less.
Use Opera Mobile occasionally because it's even faster than stock, but some pages don't render correctly and/or links fail.
Only use Firefox when none of the above work correctly with a website.
Do you have a cab file for that browser? Would like to try it, but can't find it in the Android market.

Well, with my modded browser, Dolphin creators were able to see that flash works just fine on the android 4.1 plus platform. So now they updated their browser to v10 and version 10 and higher now support flash without the need to mod it.

If using a Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 based rom why not use Firefox as
a browser, it plays all the adobe flash videos just fine.
I have installed the adobe flash player for android in my phone but I noticed that
even without it, the firefox browser plays any of the flash videos I tested so far.

Hi,
What's the best browser if I want flash support, and strict pop-up blocking?
I'm using Dolphin browser HD (an old version that supports flash), which works with flash ok, but it lets the pop-up's through (even though pop-up blocking is turned on).
Any suggestions?

I wonder why Firefox doesn't offer a homepage. I personally set my homepage to my Google Reader page. I get to see some headlines before surfing throughout the day.
Having tabs on startup just creates more clicks without any added benefit.
Also, the switching through tabs is a nightmare compared to Dolphin.
Tried FireFox and it doesn't support flash well at all. Embedded videos are very hard to use compared to the stock Samsung browser. And Firefox definetly still allow the popups through

Was searching for a new browser but majority doesn't have flash player. Currently I'm on stock browser but it lag's sometimes though I don't push it to the limit, my XS is Overclocked to 1.73Ghz so it shouldn't lag, plus I free the ram before using browser, so if you know browsers that support flash please write.
Firefox supports flash player, and is a great browser for me.
Stock browser support flash, you need only install flash apk

Stock browser I think its very good:
Stable, compatible with most of the pages( both desktop and mobile version) , support flash player, and If you enable the pie control its very good looking

Firefox is the best because allows Flash zooming, which little allow.
I've seen a lot of discussion about mobile browsers and can name most of them. I discovered PUFFIN browser a while back and use it as my default. It's light, a ton of features and supports flash. It's the fastest browser I've used. Give it a go!
Does it allow bookmarks to be backed up to the google cloud?

I used to use Dolphin Browser but stopped a long time ago after seeing how they collect your data and ALL sites you browse to get sent to their servers. Take a minute to review their official messed up privacy policy here
http://dolphin.com/privacy/privacy-policy-for-dolphin-browser/
Key points:
Each time you visit a website, the Dolphin Browser client needs to send your current user URL to the Dolphin Browser server.

When you download Dolphin Browser or use Dolphin Services, Dolphin receives ... the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

PUFFIN/DOLPHIN/OPERA...... I look for the fastest browser. I'm not that worried about privacy, mostly due to the fact my credit blows zebra nuts and I'm not that interesting. If you want total privacy throw your phone e in a mud puddle, give back your DL and SS card, pitch a tent in the woods while wearing camo and learn to farm and shoot squirrels. Or use Tor/Orbot but I'd suggest doing some reading and at least know what bridges are and how to implement properly.... maybe become multi lingual in the computer world.
I used a browser called Naked Browser. It's free, but has flash and is very light on resources with lots of options. It's pretty no frills in terms of appearance, but it's now my favorite browser after trying Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, and the stock browser.
I have become very fond of boat browser.

CM BROWSER.
Dolphin was my favorite for years but I just discovered CM browser (from the developer of Clean Master) and I find it faster and less hard on the battery. It may not have as many features as Dolphin, but I was not using those features on Dolphin anyway.
