Whats you favorite web browser? i have Dolphin,xscope,firefox and skyfire installed
That's overkill. lol I'm very happy with the Dolphin HD browser. I love the tabs, the tools, and the add-ons. I haven't even tried any other browser because I've been so happy with this one.
I use Stock Browser on Sense. I stopped using it because of the reflow crap, but someone on this board released a flashable version of the browser with that disabled, so now im loving it!
And sometimes I use the MIUI browser too, just because it has full screen support. Stock browser does too, but whenever loading different pages, it pulls the notification bar down while the MIUI browser keeps all of that up until you press the menu button.
I always preferred stock, but im diggin Firefox.
I read a review of Skyfire 2.0 that said it was the best browser out as far speed and proper page rendering. I have not tried it yet myself. Also Opera mobile 10.1 for android is supposed to be released tomorrow(9th). Ask me again on Wednesday and I will let you know then which is my favorite. Right now I am leaning towards Skyfire 2.x as it is supposed to allow you to view embedded video that the other browsers won't play.
Just tried Firefox, and I can't stand it. I like using Chrome and Firefox for Windows, but they got some work to do on that. Loading websites, pinchzoom, and ease of use are horrible.
I love the stock browser, and the MIUI Charming browser is growing on me. I like it more than anything at this point.
Skyfire FTW. Best browser hands down in my opinion. zooming and moving around through pages is much more fluent than Dolphin or Stock for that manner.. Mozilla is just garbage. Also skyfires quick access to the feature letting you choose between "desktop, android, or iphone" viewing modes makes browsing quicker and easier
my thoughts
I have tried skyfire, fennec, dolphin and dolphin HD, and opera. wanted to try xscope but im not paying for it no way! out of all of them i found the stock browser to work the best and opera came in second it was faster than all the other 3 party browsers and had nice easy to use tabs but after installing myn's i never re-downloaded it. happy with stock browser.
I do like the opera browser but one thing that bothered me is I had problems downloading from sites that were setup like megaupload,fileserve,rapidshare. These sites would be very buggy and acted weird not letting me download the files I was trying to get (roms, and movies). Usually the counter you had to wait for would bug out or the link would never appear/work. So until that is fixed I've been sticking with Stock.
Has anyone managed to get the stock ICS browser working on 2.3?
tried ICS for a while, and loved the system but had to give it up for the lack of app support so far. Really missing the integrated approach of the browser, and how it synced bookmarks etc.
I know about ChromeMarks but not really the same. Done a search and found some topics of people trying on different devices but wondering if anybody got it on S2?
Failing that, what browser do you recommend as best for syncing between mobile and desktop?
I use Opera on my desktop, and Opera Mobile on my phone, and I use the build on "Opera Link" to sync bookmarks it works well.
But I suppose you use Google Chrome on your desktop so Opera Mobile isn't an option for you.
fair comment as I do use chrome. however may start looking at other options seen as four years in and google still not bothered with this feature.
Seems it used to be very easy to share bookmarks between browsers. Stock could run Chrome no problem and you could import your Dolphin marks easily using an .html file. Now it seems like everything is blocked. Stock no longer will run Chrome bookmarks and the .apk that made that possible has been removed from GAPPS. As a matter of fact, I cannot see any way to import bookmarks into the stock browser.
Can this be true? There must be a workaround. I'm only interested in the Stock browser because it handles embedded video the best by far.
Just got this phone a few weeks ago, and can't seem to find a web browser that allows text reflow, or automatic resizing of text when you zoom in and out of webpages.
My previous HTC and Google Nexus phones were able to do this; but it doesn't appear that the z1 compact can. Am I correct?
I've tried Dolphin, Boat, Chrome, Opera, Opera Mini...and ideas? Maybe a custom ROM? And if so which one?
Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Opera browser has text reflow, it's the one I use for visiting web pages with lots of text. Have you looked in the options?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, I must've missed that in normal opera browser. The mini version definately doesn't work though. Should've double checked everything.
Is there a way to inspect element in browsers such as chrome or firefox on android?
I Googled your question. I'm not sure, but it looks like some of the search results might be helpful, particularly the search result at the lambdatest website.
There's an app for this, but it sucks. Definitely not worth the time, at least that was my experience.
The Kiwi Browser Chromium based browser support the Developer tools (inspect element).
