Hmmm... I'am with stock froyo rom and it's pretty fast (Have you disabled flash?), it's even faster than simple dolphin, best browser for me (cant say about dolphin mini, havent tried it yet )
Personal preference really. I like miren because it's pretty, has flash support as well and is fast and lightweight well for me), dolphin is just too bulky imo.
tried all of them but still prefere the build in.

Browsing the web on the wildfire is a horrible experience. When i have no other means to check if the government has paid me my welfare benefit, i use Dolphin browser HD.
Opera Mini here. Been using it on Nokia before, I really like it a lot.

Been using Opera Mini since my previous Nokia and it does everything i need whilst being mega simple. Don't see the need for anything more tbh.
Dolphin, Opera Mobile 10.1 beta and stock browser. Afrer update to 2.2.1 I use stock browser the most.
Opera Mobile, A bit big but it has everything I need.
Opera mini is ok but lacks Pinch to zoom and desktop rendering.
I tried xScope, Fast but not for me.
Dolphin HD, Slow compared to others and so bulky.
Yet to try Miren though.
I'm curious as to what browser you guys like to use. I've used Dolphin Browser HD for as long as I can remember, as I never really fancied the stock browser.
I don't really know about any of the other browsers available, so i'm looking for something new to use (and others might be too). Any suggestions?
I use the stock one for daily use, if I run into a page that insists to be viewed in mobile form then I switch to Dolphin.
I use opera mobile.

No broswer is as smooth as Opera Mobile on Android. It compares to the smoothness on Safari on iOS

Tried it out. It runs VERY well, but nearly all of the pages I visit direct me to the mobile version of their site. Is there any way to change the user agent in opera so that I get the desktop version every time?
Thanks for the tips...I'm definitely switching from the stock browser on my Droid X!

Pretty sure there was a thread here on XDA about that. Might want to do a Google search about that. "opera mobile 11 android desktop agent" All the sites I use direct to desktop so it hasn't been a problem for me.

Thanks for the tip! Found out how to do it, and works perfectly. I couldn't find it in the settings, so I figured it wasn't built in.
+1 for Miren. Only issue I run into is embedded videos just leaving a blank spot on the page, and also opening an android_asset/webkit page in the stock browser.

I've been using Firefox 4 mobile on my phone and tab, i'll probably try opera now because anything has to be better
I using Dolphin Mini right now.
I've tried Firefox but its just too slow and too CPU intensive. It's sad because it's what I use on my MacBook Pro and would live to be able to seamlessly sync everything.

I don't know about anyone else, but the stock browser on the Fascinate is horrible compared to other Android powered phones. I'm not sure what it is, but it just runs like crap. AND NO ANIMATED GIF SUPPORT!!!! (Custom ROMs appear to not work either, it's really weird actually. Animated GIF support goes in and out)
So i use Dolphin HD mainly. Normally I prefer stock, but since switching to the Fascinate. I use anything else, BUT!
for some reason Opera Mobile won't install on CM6. Bummer.

Odd. The stock browser feels the same as my old Droid's. Not much of a difference.
Back to the topic: I use the stock browser. It fills my needs perfectly. I'll try out Dolphin HD and Opera to see how they are.
I just tried dolphin mini again last night. After about an hour of use I saw no clear cut advantage over stock (for how I use it).
I don't use gestures and don't open multiple tabs on my phone. My web use is mostly simple lookups. My serious web use I do on my desktop computer. Almost every thing I do on my phone is app based. So the stock browser suits me fine and is as fast or faster as both dolphin HD and mini.

if i remember correctly, i was able to run html5 on stock browser...
and imho the best browser is opera mini
I use stock browser for facebook, twitter. for video's sites, i use skyfire
Have you tried Dolphin? I think its support it..
Thanks guys,now i have managed to run html5 on my phone(im using shock browser and Dolphin,the skyfire cant set UA an iphone so i cant try it),but another problem appears,as we all know when we try to play video the browser need the stock video player to finish it,but it just appears a problem then close down,i think i may be something wrong with the video player,im using minicm.

Hi,
The browser on the arc is amazingly fast but when it comes to zooming or scrolling it's a bit laggy. I tried firefox and the scrolling is so smooth... but i prefer the default browser. I read it was something about opengl ? Why can it Be smooth like firefox ? Which one do you use ?

im using dolphin, got gesture feature, cool....
Xscope... Works perfect for me
Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
I am using XScope.. I was using it on my X10 also
Im using the stock browser and agree that scrolling and zooming is stuttery. I use opera mini from time to time aswell. Its quick and smooth aswell but I see some phones have trouble installing it. Eg would not install on my desire or nexus s.

Another vote here for Dolphin - very good customising options.
Default browser.
Why didn't you make a kind of a poll?
I like Opera Mobile 11 a lot. I have used it as a primary browser few weeks. Few bugs but I like it because it's much smoother than the stock browser.
Opera Mobile here too.

Opera mini, its smoother than default browser, but im still looking for alternative browsers

Opera Mini is actually the best web browser for smartphones, because iirc, they "intercept" the web site you want to view, scale down images for less MB usage/faster loading time, then serve that website on your Opera Mini.
At least that's how it worked a year ago.
Dolphin
Very smooth
And allows to change easily the user agent
Nice design

Dolphin here too
Small and fast
Actually, Dolphin is the stock browser with a theme and gestures.

* Stock browser for full browsing
* Opera Mini when data connection is slower or in travel.
Opera Mini has also the amazing Opera Link so my bookmarks are with me for years,
And has great download ability.
So, Dolphin, Opera mini and Xcope are the ones getting most recommendations. I'd like to know which provides the highest speed? I dont care too much about zoom in/out.
I use dolphin too, but I use the dolphin mini ! it's not only fast but more user friendly on general setting~~~only that it does not have auto-full screen, but I dont care~
hi all what is the best android browser for full content desktop like sufing with flash ect.. which is the fastest at page loading and smoothest pinch to zoom/scroll

Ditto. Dolphin is the quickest to start up, and works really well.
Opera mobile works great, but has less functionality than, say, Dolphin. You can browse the web, download, and that's about it.
My HTC Wildfire S runs MagicOS (Unicorn Hair, Rainbow Extract and Pixie Dust).
I would have to say Dolphin Browser.
The stock browser (please don't call it Internet Explorer ! ). Less options but so fast...
i'm using xscope and it works pretty well. i like the clean look and flash is also working good. you also can browse in fullsceen mode and hide all status bars.
dolphin here too.
biggest disappointment was firefox. how can they get a pc browser so right and a mobile android one so wrong? maybe next version then?
Dolphin... I've used opera mini at first, then switched over
