Dolphin HD here.

I'm liking Dolphin, set to work as a desktop

I, too, use Opera Mini.

Either Dolphin HD or Firefox Beta, your call.

Dolphin for desktop browsing, Miren for something else

+1 for Dolphin too. I also use it on the iPad and it syncs favorites between them which is kind of handy.

Opera Mobile. Because the stock browser is junk.

I use Opera Mobile and Dolphin Browser HD.

Im loving Dolphin HD more now that it has an evernote extension!

I tried them all, by far the best and easiest to use has been the Boat browser. Once you go Boat, you never go back.

I use dolphin personally due to its stylish user interface and gesture support.

Can someone explain the benefits of using a browser other than stock? I surf the web a lot (2.5gig a month) on my phone and have always used the stick browser...?

i prefer opera mobile, but i might have to switch back to dolphin since they have an evernote add-on now.

I downloaded Opera Mobile from android market.
At least is not transfering so much data.
Quick and fast!

It's all good
Really a matter of preference.
However some might do specific tasks better than others. For example the other day I tried Dolphin, Opera, Firefox and the native browser during a flash stream of a basketball game. I was hooked up to my home wireless router.
I never did get the flash addon to work properly on Firefox. Opera and Dolphin opened the stream just fine, but the video was jerky and hard to watch.
By far the best video continuity was with the native browser.
But I still prefer Firefox for general web browsing.

Try opera mobile 11. It's great

Try Opera and Miren
I've tried them all, but I'm going to have to strongly recommend Miren Browser... It's fast and practical and it looks good. I downloaded Dolphin and I deleted it after an hour, the design did not suit me at all.
i use dolphin mini...
Skyfire for me.

I have been using the new opera and think it's very well suited to the speed of our LTE. It renders pages very quickly and has a pretty clean interface. I will be installing the new firefox browser to give it a run, although it's a release candidate.
I have been using SkyFire for a while i find it to be the best. I just tried Opera Mobile and i had problems with the scrolling lagging. As for Firefox its fast but lacks Flash so that's a no go for me.
Testing Firefox 4. Grab from market.
I didn't really like skyline because of the bottom bar it was annoying. But I did like that if the page was still loading and you were moving around on the page it did not put you in a random spot like stock browser

Dolphin and Miren for everything. Firefox doesnt support flash... Opera is HORRIBLE with loading desktop versions of sites.
Using miren now for 30 secs and already love it

Dolphin hd for desktop view and downloads sites. Opera for everything else.
+1 for Dolphin HD
Firefox is ok but it takes a long time to load some pages. It feels more like performance versus my connection speed.
Dolphin and Dolphin HD are alright but they feel to me like they would be better suited for a tablet.
I just downloaded Miren and Ill give it a go, I was using the stock browser till now though.
dolphin mini is the ticket for me
you guys are nuts hating on dolphin hd I used it on my OG but its sooooo much better on a bigger screen. tabbed browsing, flash, etc etc.

[Q] What browser do you use?

I'm running CM7. I just opened the News and Weather app and went to browse a story, and the page scrolling was a bit jumpy. Presume it would have opened the stock browser. What browser do all of you use?
I use Dolphin HD and Skyfire

Dolphin HD
Was using Opera for an age. Just now trying Dolphin HD. To be honest not that impressed so might switch back
Stock browser.
Stock one and opera really fast opera!
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Stock browser works well. I tried Firefox (a lot of memory), Dolphin HD (the best alternative), Miren browser (very fast browser) and Opera (I don't like its UI).
Dolphin HD, best browser in my opinion!
Opera a real browser

i have used opera since the moment i started using internet, so yeah, opera ftw
Im using stock browser at the moment but I intend to go back to Opera once I have stopped messing with my phone.
I think its always good to have opera installed just incase you havent got much signal as it loads pages super fast.
I use Boat Browser Mini, it's really realy fast and simple
Stock browser is ok, but I wasn't quite satisfied myself.
So tried Dolphin HD, wasn't really impressed, can't see what other people find so great about it.
Now using Opera, works the best so far. It's a bit too much of a memory hog for my liking, but overall I'm much happier with it.
i use dolphin HD and opera browser, since my stock browser always suddenly close with no error or force close especially when open the site which has many flash player
Been using Dolphin HD and Skyfire until I discovered Opera Mobile which is significantly faster in scrolling and zooming.
Dolphin browser HD, and Opera

I like Dolphin HD. I can have it set to a desktop user agent, it can be set to not load flash elements automatically. You have to tap to load which I find nice. Tried Firefox but it felt a bit bloated. Opera Mini is nice when you aren't on wifi or 4G because it compresses pages for faster loading.
If you prefer the stock browser, give the app named "download all files". Just search the market.
File downloads in stock browser.
There is also an option under the setting of " astro file manager " to enable browser downloads in the stock browser.
I agree, I am loving Dolphin HD on the Bionic... I also use Lastpass & Xmarks to sync it with everything else I use.
On my Tab, I am still happy with the stock browser tho, sometimes I switch back to Dophin but waiting for the 'Pad' version to get the Lastpass & Xmarks plugins

What Internet Browser do you guys prefer

Not on the phone on your PC's or macs.
IE is way to slow for me and is unusable imo.
Chrome is what i always use and currently use but its been on a crash course lately. and wont open up some website.
Mozilla is not bad, but haven't used it in a while
I want to know about Browsers that maybe i haven't heard of but are just as good. I know of Opera browser and used it once back in that day. are there any other ones out their you guys wanna chime in on.
Thanks guys/gals.
ENJOY THE REST OF THE NBA SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's crashing on me broseph!! you think i want this to happen to me
I know it's the wrong answer, but I use Firefox, with a whole bunch of add-ons too.
Works well for me. I also have Chromium, but rarely use it.

There's no wrong answer at all here, i want to know your guys full opinion on what to use. I like appearance just as much as ability to get what i need done. Opera seems out the picture for me already, it can't even load twitter.com correctly.
I used to be a Firefox user but switched to Chrome a little while ago...
Definitely no going back now. FF is a resource hog...
I use Chrome on everything. But I use Firefox to download large files because Chrome likes to randomly cancel them when I'm downloading them.
Chrome!

Exactly the same here. Longtime FF user, until a friend suggested I try Chrome for a week. It took a day or two to get used to, but I wont go back!
Chrome is just too minimal for me. It only fits so many bookmarks in the toolbar, I can't seem to find an equivalent to the Foxtab addon to hide my tab bar and switch tabs with a shortcut button, etc etc. I have 4 or 5 FF add-ons that I just can't live without.
I tried with Chrome, there just doesn't seem to be any way to make it how I want it to be.
FF definitely is a resource hog, but that's not a huge deal to me. I'm not usually one to have more than 3 or 4 tabs open at a time anyways, so it never comes close to bogging down even my old Dell Dimension.
I don't mind using more of my computer's resources for the sake of convenience, ease of use, and appearance, but I can appreciate that others want a fast, light weight browser with a clean appearance that simply does its job and does it well. Chrome definitely is that.
I used firefox for a few years and then i switched to chrome because of its simplicity and speed
Safari on Mac and Chrome or Opera (For the gestures and sync) on PC. IE SUCKS!
Internet Explorer
Chrome

browser wars

hey guys,
im on the lookout for a nice browser
which one you like most ? i personally like the stock one in tablet mode, but it fails to load some webpages properly ... havent found anything with good functionality/speed/smoothness compromise yet. chrome is nice, but it needs soooo much ram, cant even have 3 tabs open without having to reload them after switching.. awful.
i was hoping ucbrowser would answer my call, but something peculiar happened, i tried the tablet version first, just out of curiosity and it worked great, fast quite smooth with occasional hiccups. but the phone version was just horrible, lagged like i was running it on a single core 600mhz cpu. just pathetic... anyone know what the deal is with that ?
cheers
Naked browser
dolphin but now has some bugs, Opera......
the hemelywo
Chrome or Opera mini
Im using chrome, just becouse its syncing with my pc, but to be honest, the stock browser is my second best one!

thanks, ill try the naked browser
i didnt like to browse forums with chrome, the text is uneven, eg posts are displayed in a much larger font than the quotes in the same posts, so constant zooming is needed if you want to read the quote. bs..
browser
Chrome and Opera
I'am using this amazing browser named Puffin Browser and it's blowing my mind atm with its lightning speed!
I use "Lightning Browser"! It's just incredibly more fast than Chrome and than all browsers i used
I like AOSP/CM stock browser on kitkat. Puffin is fast indeed but that's it. I also use Opera mini for its great rss support.
