browsers

what browser is your choice.. me im using the native only because i just flashed..
but i like dolphin hd and opera mini(when it wants to work)
there are others out there i know and the firefox beta (forget the name)
so let me know ? im always looking for new useful stuff.

Native: comes with the OS, does everything except flash just fine.

I use skyfire! Because I want to be able to watch flash videos!

I use Opera Mini becouse is faster than others. I also have tried Skyfire for the flash support, but was so sloow in 3G mode.....
Sorry for my English, I'm Italian

Stock Browser because it does everything fine and i don't need flash.

There are other good browsers like dolphin, opera mobile, skyfire, MIUI and xScope. But I still prefer the stock one. Well maybe Opera mobile as well.

I have tried them all and the native brower seems to work the best.

Dolphin HD with add-ons + Fennec beta with sync from my desktop/laptop.

Stock one when I'm using a wi-fi connection
Opera Mobile when I'm using a HSDPA connection (faster, low data transfer)

How can you use fennec? I tried installing but it gave an error of incompatible hardware or something.

Same here.

I prefer Miren Browser!
Easy and very fast!

I use stocked browser for wap, skyfire for wifi and opera mini " FAST" for mobile data.

Opera Mini here

Stock browser for JavaScript heavy sites, and Opera Mini for everything else. I just love how the burden of processing pages are done by the servers

Opera and Skyfire. I only use Skyfire when i need to see flash videos. I'm not a fan of the phone's browser.

Tried Dolphin browser, but I still prefer the stock one. It's light, and does pretty much everything quite well.

I use Dolphin HD... It's perfect. sometimes I use Opera mini too.

I use Dolphin Mini 2.0, it's the best when you consider all pros and cons, and I tested others as well (miren, dolphin hd, opera, xScope).

Can someone send me file original host of LGP500?
Thanks

Browser Issue

Hi,
Whenever I have more than one browser window open, every so often the Galaxy Tab will vibrate a couple times when opening a new browser window, the page won't load and the browser would close automatically. What does this mean?
-Thanks

Happens with me also...whether I use the stock browser or dolphin...though with dolphin it happens much less...

I found that the "solution" for that probkem is to use a browser not based on WebKit, as it's painfully clear the version in the Tab is really crashy. Look for Opera, Firefox or Skyfire. The others (like Miren, Dolphin...) are all WebKit based, and as such they might make the issue better but not fix it
also disable panoramic mode in the stock browser: with that on is a lot slower than a 600mhz Android phone!

Hi,
How would you disable 'Panoramic Mode' in the stock browser? I haven't downloaded any new browser(s) as of yet.
-Thanks

In the browser settings, second option, it's right below the zoom one.

I checked their blog.. there is a beta that you can still download the apk for.. seems to work better. It said that it has no hardware acceleration but it works better. The flash on demand is my reason for using it

I left dolphin HD a while back cause I hate how the tabs disappear when you scroll down. Dolphin mini is actually superior in my opinion. Epecially the way it copies and pastes. Similar to xoom's native. I use it on my Droid X. I have found that the best browser for xoom is stock. Just a pain in the ass that you have to "debug" each startup. It seems to be most reliable but be careful about tab browsing with more than 5 tabs. You'll lock up and FC. Other browser I sort of liked is miren but it's not optimized and the start up logo is stretched and that's a no no for me. You may also wanna check out skyfire they're were the first browser to play flash when android couldn't. I don't really like the flow of it but some do. So saying all that I will stick with debuging stock browser
If you don't know what debug browser means. Type- about:debug into your bowser then hit enter. Go to menu. Settings. Debug. Change UAString to desktop or ipad. Each time I start up browser just do the about:debug enter and you're good to go. The reason being is the browser like to return from default. A quick check to see if debug mode is on is click the top right menu and more options are available such as Dump V8.

same problem I hope they fix it soon cause I love the last pass integration

So while I think Dolphin HD is necessary on the Galaxy Tab where the stock browser was ****, I think for the Xoom, the stock browser is the best mobile browser I have seen...
Its not as silky smooth as the ipad 2, but man the tab browsing is phenomenal and its smooth enough where syncing with Chrome and the tabs make up for it

Dolphon was working fine for me until the 3.0.1 update. Since then I've gotten FC after every session. Alternatively, the native browser has also gotten worse too.

Dolphin HD works good for me. I watch flash videos on it all the time. I like the stock browser too but I'm tired of about:debug every so often.

Agree with this... haven't used Dolphin before and it seems to work quite well.
Two questions:
1) Can you configure to have Dolphin close when closing out all tabs? Right now it seems to want to default to a recently closed tabs page.
2) I have the LPP bookmark widget on my home screen and it is not updating my most visited websites like it was for the stock browser. Any fixes?
So far so good with Dolphin... not having to reset the user agent all of the time is worth it enough.

A quick way to exit Dolphin is to long press the 'back' soft touch button. This brings up an exit menu, whch also lets you clear cache.

Dolphin crashes for me as well, but the lastpass integration is needed. The browser in android is a senior browser, but it is not Chrome browser (google the has chrome browser). So we do not have extensions.... yet
I do not have to reset lasting in stock browser session the setting stays

Dolphin HD uses the same webview as the stock browser, which is why it's page performance and stability is identical to the stock browser. The only difference is the GUI.

You guys know you can bookmark about:debug, right? Also, the user agent setting persists if you turn debug back off (not across browser restarts, of course), so put a shortcut to about:debug on your home screen and use that to launch browser.

With 3.0.1 and flash Dolphin worked ok for me and seemed to become unstable after opening multiple tabs. I ditched it for the new firefox build that was released today. I know it doesnt have flash but I am really impressed with its speed and usability. I did change the User Agent to ipad however

I have about:debug bookmarked but I don't have to in Dolphin. Its a no brainer. Stock browser is alot better than previous Android versions but I still prefer Dolphin.

The "setting" stays the same in the menu, but without about:debug being active, the browser sends the android header regardless of the setting. Check it @ http://my-addr.com/ua

tried but not good too, strange that with s3 mini i can watch sports events in streaming without problem and here can't find a good browser to watch them

Firefox... its a bit clunky, but ive NEVER had it crash in over a year of using it. On my S2 and now my S4.
Also has an amazing sync function with any desktop firefox you may run on a PC, great for bookmarks, login/passwords, history etc etc

Browser question...

Is there any way I can have text reflow on my Note 3 ?
Cheers~

Only with 3rd party browser, such as the Boat browser or the Opera.
Since I don't have the Note 3 yet, is there the Plugin option for Flash player still there? .
