All,
I tried Dolphin HD browser and it was really great. Its got lot of innovative features. But its not much of use on Galaxy S i guess, because within minutes of using it bcomes horribly slow. Each tap almost takes seconds for the app to respond. Even the scrolling is equally bad.
I really dont want to uninstall this browser. Does anybody have any tweaks to make it usable ? Do all galaxy S users feel the same or it works okay on others.
Any comments will be helpful.
yes, don't use dolphin
use skyfire, it is the fastest one
2nd fast is opera mini
According to the maker of Dolphin it had some issues in the later builds. But now it is more focused on speed improvements.
Opera is good. Hasn't tested skyfire on android. Didn't like it much all those years ago on PPC. The issue with Opera is when u use it for rapidshare or megadownload for instance (when u get the count down to the link) it is not updating. Probably because of the proxy to Opera. Turning this off hasn't worked for me.
Good luck!
Wow, if the makes of dolphin really work on improving the speed, I will be one happy camper.
Haven't uninstalled dolphin yet, hoping for a fix to come soon.

dolphin is one heck of a good browser, but the speed is horrible
my 10 years old Palm Treo loads faster than that
and the Treo was known to have the worse browser on the planet at that time

Loved my Treo :-D
Guys, I tried Skyfire. Many people suggested that its very fast and all for Galaxy.
however, I am seeing the same sluggishness with Skyfire as well. The pages load fast but the browser acts very slugish. The taps dont respond well, the scrolling gets held up at places etc.
Still searching for a better stock browser replacement.
Anybody?
What's wrong with the stock one? I find it very good!!
Tried xscope? Best non proxy browser imho

Guys, looks like my prayers got answered.
Dolphin update: v 3.1.1
It's as smooth as Silk. Amazing improvement. NOW, it is the best I can say.

Yes the new version of Dolphin HD has much better performance. Now I'm happy to use it as my default browser
Have just installed the latest version and after spending a little time with it, I think it's better than opera for me
From my Galaxy S loonie-phone
3.1.1 ?? I can only find 3.0 ?!?
Its faster but I'm just not used to it, I think I'm too used to Xscope
Yeah, How do I acquire dolphin browser hd 3.1.1 ? Market shows 3.0 to be the latest...

I'm sure he uses just dolphin browser not dolphin browser HD.
Dolphin browsers latest version is 3.1.1 but HDs latest version 3.0.

Oh, I see... That makes more sense.... Well, does that mean that the regular dolphin browser is better than dolphin browser hd ?
P.S. I didn't find dolphin browser hd 3.0 any faster than 2.x as opposed to how it's advertised. Good browser all over, but I didn't notice any major (performance) improvements. Is it just me ?

Sorry after reading the post I went back to see market and appbrain. They both show 3.0 only. I might have seen just the dolphin brower I guess. BUT, I just upgraded the HD browser from market and I am sure I have dolphin HD. I see a nice HD on my icon.
The speed and the general handling is completely different and smooth now. The performance improvement is easily notice able
Sorry for all the confusion guys, I guess was just to excited seeing the speed.

Continuing from my previous post, are you guys saying that you have upgraded to latest version yesterday and stol not seeing the improvements?
If you haven't, I suggest you upgrade.market will show you that an upgrade is available for them.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have upgraded to 3.0 but it still is kinda slow. Although I haven't tested it with wifi cause my connection is down.
Still the built in browser is faster than dolphin HD with 3g.
I used only dolphin hd when I had desire and really liked it but in galaxy it is just too slow.
I have JM2 installed if it makes any difference...
im just curious as to which browser you guys run and which ones you guys think run faster on past experiences. i use chrome as my daily driver but have been curious as to what might run faster. I would just download opera and try it but im at school and cannot run .exe files. thanks!

Firefox is the best.
Rapid.
Has Ad-Free.
Better than Chrome/Opera.
Of the two, I prefer Chrome. Opera has some nice features, but seems to get sluggish after a while (in my experience). Chrome is fast, lightweight, and has some nice extensions to customize to your liking. You should also consider the newest version of Firefox. I've been using that for a couple weeks and the speed improvement is nice.

+1 on firefox...
I'd really wanna know which browser will run well on a Pentium 4 PC with 512MB RAM. On Windows XP. So far FF is beating Chrome with a slight edge.
!!!
firefox the best!
I stay with Chrome.
Chrome all the way! I hate Firefox. Here's Lifehackers' browser speed test btw: Clicky<--
I don't like Firefox's new update and I tested it out, not for me. I prefer Chrome, it's simple and I just like simple.

This.
For the longest time, I was a diehard Firefox user.
Since they updated to 4, that ish is laggy as hell for me. I couldn't stand it.
So now I'm using Chrome.
Much better, in my opinion!

I thought it was only me who was having the laggy issues. Glad to see I'm not the only one. But, glad to see you're enjoying Chrome
I'm still using the old version of firefox. Haven't tried the opera browser.

It was awful!
Loading times for pages used to be really quick. Then, when I updated, it got pretty bad at times. I'd have to restart Firefox sometimes.
I'd never had that problem, and have really fast internet, so I didn't understand what it was.
No problems whatsoever on Chrome though!

I'm using firefox 4.It's amazing

I am a diehard fan of Chrome. Not only do I run it on my Acer Netbook, but on my CR-48. I love how no matter what machine I use it all syncs up automagically.

Dolphin Browser
There are only 2 open source browsers. The stock browser and a proof of concept browser Mosembro which only goal is to make a more semantic Web.

Right ... Actually Dolphin Browser is based on "The WebKit Open Source Project". To be exact it integrated the Chrome-based Webkit rendering engine to complement the original webkit engine adopted by Android’s stock browser. (Source: Google)
Anyway, found another promising Open source browser called "Zirco Browser" available free on Google Playstore

I like Boat browser, especially the customization for favourites and there gesture features. It is certainly worth a try but like Roms everyone has their own favourite.
All the best.
I'm on ART now, thanks to you sstar, and using UC browser.
I'll report later for any crashes...
Does anyone know where to get the apk that will work for lollipop or if there's another way to get it to work? I've googled it but can't find any apk's that will work for 5.0. Help pleaseeeeeeee.
The kit kat hacked one will work with dolphin browser but nothing else.

Too bad...because Dolphin performance in Lollipop 5.0.x+ is best described as "LOL", unlike KK.

I used Dolphin as my DD once v11 came out. On N6, there's serious scrolling lag on basic text-only websites.
I downloaded the latest available Android APK from Adobe's archives. Works fine in FireFox, but not Chrome. I expected that, though.

You should be surprised. Flash for Android is abandonware, and not written to support ART.
Puffin Browsers built in flash player works.
