Most advisable browser for DHD

hey mates,
i'm looking for the "best" browser for my dhd.
there are so much out there, that i cannot decide
firefox mobile, opera mobile/mini, skyfire, dolphin hd,...?
which one do you recommend? flash support would be nice.

Firefox is good

dolphin is excellent

I've tried all of them. My best experience is with SkyFire for watching flash. Firefox always crashes, dolphin lagged out so much once that I had to remove the battery, Opera as you know has no flash but is extremely fast for non-flash. But in the end they all have their pros and cons which is why I have all of them
I've heard good stuff about miren browser, havent tried it though :/

thanks...
as i guessed, the opinion here around is also splitted
yeah...i think a combo of skyfire and opera does it best...
lets see

Haha... Still using the default one.

yeah but i doesnt like the w'n'w logo because mine is tmobile branded
nope its not bad, but i thought there are better ones out there

Dolphin is by far the best browser ! Hands down. I've tried them ALL: Opera (bugs), Firefox (I'm a BIG Firefox fan for the pc but on the DHD it's just unresponsive & slow), Skyfire is also just ok nothing special.... Ur best bet is Dolphin HD... Gluck....

I'm a big fan of Dolphin HD as well. Its got some really handy addons which are nice to have sitting in your toolbar. I personally never suffered from any lag with this browser on this phone or my previous Nexus One.

xScope 6 is not bad and supports flash.

Am i the only one that thinks the stock browser is good? I've tried Miren and Dolphin HD, but i don't like them. Feels kinda slow. Also on WiFi (20 mbps down 10 mbps up)

downloading flash
anyone found an ad-on for any of the browsers which enables you to save/download flash videos? Have been looking but come up with nothing

I actually quite like the stick and watch some pretty intensive flash videos on it without a problem. The one problem they all have is that if you're watching a flash video and decide to try and go back,. You have to press the back button at least 3 or 4 times :/

I'm using the stock browser and its fast. Flash is not a problem. I've used Dolphin HD as well and I must say its basically the same as stock cos its base on the stock browser.

Yes but i have noticed on Dolphin. there is no option to switch from mobile version sites to fulll sites. whereas with the stock broswer i just untick enable mobile view. this alows me to go to sites e.g dailymotion and watch videos as if it was the full site and just maximise the videos. LOVE STOCK browser. lol

iv tried em all and stock browser wins hands down

Dolphin does the switch with an addon which isn't installed by default.

Does it have the option to remember which sites you want to view in mobile mode and which you want in desktop mode? That's the only thing that's missing in the stock browser . I want to view the news sites in mobile mode, but southparkstudios' mobile version doesn't have the full episodes .

Oh right. Which add-on

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.

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
RcMix 3D Darkside Glacier HD
Tdj's Demonspeed v7 Kernel
Virtuous OC Damean
ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0

Mostly chrome but sametimes i have to change to firefox
Or opera.

What is the best browser for the Note?

Im trying to find out if there is a browser that can compare with the stock browser in terms of speed. Ive found the stock browser to be lightning quick but it has two problems: it doesnt seem to resize text to fit the screen when you zoom and access to bookmarks is at the top of the screen (big deal for me considering the sizs of the note's screen). I used to use dolphin hd because i loved the quick access to my bookmarks, but there is a noticable lag when scrolling and resizing pages. Does anyone have any suggestions for a browser with the lightning speed but better browser access?

I might be being too picky, but even opera has a slight lag in scrolling compared to stock.

Try Dolphin browser HD..

I tried dolphin hd and it just lags too much when scrolling. I think im going to use opera as was suggested. It seems to move the fastest and allows you to get to bookmarks quickly.

Boat Browser and Opera Mobile

Stock browser, its the only one that runs on HW accel, best for battery life and performance. Other browsers only offer better functionality at the cost of battery life.

Dolphin HD is the best in speed, battery and marks

Netfront life is very fast and not draining battery as opera or dolphin does.

I keep swapping between boat browser and stock browser.
I think I may just swap back to stock....

personally i use dophin browser hd

Im using opera and it works really well for general surfing. Resizes text right and has a setting for useragent in the menu.
But it has trouble with flash games on mine, mainly games on facebook which are quite large. the stock browser used to play them really well but i cant even get that to work anymore it just locks up when its trying to load the start page.

Try boat browser

Opera Mobile for me. It makes web browsing 10X better than any other browser I've tried, and I've tried a lot. It's just soooo good with text reflow and centering when zooming! With opera I can effortlessly browse the web, but with all other browsers I have to constantly adjust the screen to have the text readable and all in the right place.

Boat browser

Sometimes I dont know why people say Opera is fast, all of my experience in Opera was quite slow, even stock browser feel faster. Tested this on my htc legend, sgs2 and note. Maybe its just me .
By far I found dophin HD the best for me. Function wise and speed wise.

I have now tried Chrome, Firefox, Dophin, Opera and stock browser. They're all quite nice (except stock), and speed-wise it's no big difference. So try them all and choose the one you like best.

I like chrome because of it's smoothness and ease of tab switching. UI is better in chrome than dolphin in my opinion.

Dolphin with Jetpack plugin

Nothing works better than dolphin with dolphin jet pack

The stock android browser is by far the best on my.smothest and fastest. i discussed it with some phone riviewers, and they didnt anderstand why the nexus 4 comes with chrome as stock browser when the stock android browser is just faster overall.. offcorse this is what i have found out. you may have other opinions

Try boat browser.

I'm using Naked Browser. Simplistic philosophy, and so intuitive, like swipe from edge or quick tap on open tab to close it, not to mention that this is lightest browser for CPU-GPU

Thank u all,
Dolphin is FLASH GORDON! with jetpack

See this xda discussion about how browsers like Dolphin, Boat, Ninesky, and others spy on you, violating your privacy and wasting your battery power, bandwidth, and CPU. The thread is very long and at one point Dolphin removed the tracking but it now tracks again.
I made Naked Browser in response to all of this crap. No spying or monitoring of any kind, fast, and full-featured. This is a not for profit app that's free in the Google Play Store. The xda discussion about it is here.
