If you have not checked out this browser you might want to. It runs great on my tab. It's really smooth and even makes the xda website not as laggy. I think it might be what i use from now on...at least till I find something better, but best I found so far.
I've been checking it out as well and after five minutes I made it my default browser. I think it's awesome and runs better for me than any other browser I've tried.
opera 10.1 beta is the best with no lag but has no flash support
What's the difference between this and dolphin hd?

Ive been using this browser for the last day, and all Ive gotta say is WOW! Lag? What lag? It just runs so damn smooth. Much love for this browser so far.
i will say again opera is much faster and lag free

I think you'll find that most of us have already tried Opera - it's good and fast, but IMO Dolphin Mini is just as fast and supports flash.
I'll only revisit the non-Webkit browsers (i.e. Firefox and Opera) once they support flash.

Miren browser has been my default for a couple of weeks now. It is also very smooth and without lag. Are you running stock firmware?

Didn't really see much of a speed difference between Dolphin Mini and Miren, so I'm sticking with Miren for now.
Try this edited version of Miren Browser
Has anyone figured out a way to import Dolphin Mini's bookmarks into Miren?
It seems Dolphin backs up its bookmarks to a proprietary format only for Dolphin.
I want to start using Miren, but don't want to manually enter 60+ bookmarks.
Maxthon is my current browser. It seems that Dolphin Mini in my tab is having problems to close, well, its tabs. O_O

I mean, if you open Dolphin Mini and try to click the "x" mark to close the tab, it won't close.
For your question, I am not sure if you can. For the HD, you can download the, "Bookmarks to SD" add-on.
I'm glad I read this. I had tried dolphin HD and didn't care for it.Mini does run great on my tab though. Thanks

Same problem for me, also when you click in the address bar to type, you have to manually delete the address that's there to type something in. Wish it was highlighted so when you start to type it clears it. It's nice and fast though. I'm going to try the Miren browser nowas well.

Can someone answer this please?
Miren didn't work out for me. Downlading from Mediafire, rapidshare...etc sites do not work. It always downloaded an html page. Guessing it doesn't handle redirects correctly?
Ive tried every single browser in the market on my tab. To be honest, I prefer HD to mini. Dolphin Mini is a light version of dolphin without all the extra bloats. it takes less space on your card but the ram usage during use didnt really make that much of a difference. I noticed maybe 3-5mb difference in usage

You can get it here, but it's crap and takes up 40+MB of internal storage!! And it's still beta
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/beta.html
it`s Fennec (aka desert fox) and yes it huge and crap
Even moved to SD card it was still about 30MB! It's also unusably slow at the moment, and it doesn't reflow the text either so I doubt it will ever be an improvement on the stock browser.

The size is ridiculous but its definitely not slow for me. The scrolling and zooming are very smooth. The address bar is awkward, you cant type something in without it brining up the whole bookmarks/history stuff, very annoying.
I really like the sync features. Having access to all the bookmarks on my PC is really convenient.
Its lacking a lot of settings and options though.
Overall I like it, but not good enough to replace other browsers yet.
I used it awhile ago, doesn't compare to the stock browser or any of the others for that matter.
Skyfire is no doubt the best.
Sent from my SPH-D700
remember guys this is still in beta, im sure before we get an rc, mozilla will have an awsome browser
It's good that we android users have choice. But until mozilla fixes the size & optimize the browser its a no go for me.
Last time i checked, it was a resource hog, not as slow as hell but slower than the stock browser and Opera.
Uninstalled it less than 5 miniutes later.
tried it and yes the size is unbelieveable! shall be patiently waiting for them to go out of beta.

Personally, I think this is a long way from being a beta quality release. It's a late alpha/pre-beta at best. I think Mozilla have done themselves a disservice by calling it a beta.

skyfire is laggy man.just compare its scrolling with dolphin's.dolphin is smoother than it.

The stock browser seemed a bit stuttery on pinching and scrolling in some videos, but it supports flash... So I was wondering if there are any other better alternatives in the market?
Dophin HD, for instance? Is it smoother? Does it support flash? If yes, how smooth is it?
Miren Browser
hands down
i like to check the box " flash : on demand " to save some battery and less ads.

All your answers are easily available, but Dolphin HD is fantastic
I use dolphin HD and love it. Best one IMO.

I found xscope to be the best of the bunch. Its more chrome like, yes the drop down menu is weird at first, but you get use to it. flash works great on it.
I just got the transformer and i was wondering which browser between the 2 that you guys like better and why. This is my 1st device with honeycomb so i dont really know which way to go.
i have both. i started out using dolphin cause i was using it on my nexus 1 already but lately I've been using the stock more and more.
they're both good imo. just play around with both and see which you like better.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
sorry double post
Dllphin doesnt have graphic acceleration for scrolling anymore in newest version so its a no go for me.
dolphin is a much better browsing experience in my opinion, i didn't like how slow websites were with flash enabled on the stock browser but then again I haven't switch back to see if it's any better since the update[3.1].
stock browser in 3.1 is much better than previous one . flash video is in higher quality than dolphin. finally the swipe thumb quick control is the killing feature for stock browser
I use Dolphin, mainly because of the interface.
Edit: I did a quick benchmark with sunspider which tests javascript. Here's the results:
Stock: 1.7653 seconds
Dolphin HD 5.1.0:1.7919 seconds
Dolphin HD 6.0.0 beta 2:1.8261 seconds

I use both. I like Dolphin because I am used to it. I've used HD on my phone for a while. It has had it's problems on 5.0. It's getting better with the newer 5.1 releases.

The current stock browser now lets you set Flash to "on demand" just like Dolphin.
I tried really hard to like Dolphin but I just couldnt get over the interface.
Plus with the stock, I can easily sync my bookmarks, etc to desktop (Chrome).
I use Dolphin, mainly because of its plug-in support.
Anyone tried Firefox on their TF?
I have an issue where dolphina will not load the page.

Is anybody else finding that browsing on the Transformer is painfully slow?
We all know about the browser keyboard lag (really annoying) but finding web pages slow to load, especially if it is more complicated Google+ for example.
Does rooting and using Prime for example make any differences to performance of this device??
it did make a big difference and also u need to tweak it abit on those animation becoz it did improve it ! i just flash to prime 1.6 yesterday with blades's kernel 1.7 OC to 1.6ghz and it open everything in a flash ! it is really fast
but the stock browser is well known laggy if i am not mistaken they it is fine when using opera
dolphin is okay too.. seems like the keyboard lags when typing in forums but is fine in the search bars for me.. :-(?
Thanks, I guess I will root it then.
Yeah, I have found Dolphin better ... not tried Opera yet, might give that a whirl too.
I find that browsing with any browser on the TF is painfully slower than PC or even my iPad.
I'm rooted on prime 1.6 with a 1.6 OC. Performance is notably better than stock.
Agreed - dolphin beats stock browser for speed but not for rendering accuracy in my experience (I have not run dolphin 6.0 against the acid3 test yet.)
All in all - browsing on all my mobile devices (Transformer, iPad, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC HD2) with any browser (Safari, Dolphin, Opera, Stock honey comb etc) just makes me wish I was using Chrome on my PC. It would have to be number one on my wishlist for the next generation of devices. Give me a super fast and easy to use browser and I will forgive any amount of OS/APP/Hardware concerns.
My first tablet was an Archos 101. I can't believe people can call browsing "slow" on the Transformer.

NO ... loading times with Opera are horribly slow, but scrolling and typing is lightning fast.
I'm on a stock TF and loading times with the stock browser are only a bit slower than on my Win7 notebook.
I've now rooted and using Prime 1.6r2, much faster ... still a bit laggy in browser but not so much of a problem anymore

my stock browser is fast, opera is faster but not as smooth, set flash for on demand, it makes it a bit faster in stock, just click the arrow for flash content in page to view. Google+ is painfully slow on my TF, but the same on the Ipad, god knows why as the full FB web page works fine. Typing lag is my only real dislike in the stock browser, hoping 3.2 will help.
I'm hoping Boat Browser comes out with a Tablet optimized browser. It's blazing fast on my Evo 3D.
De browser is indeed slow. Especially on sites with javascripts. Seems something wrong with java engine? ! Seen some reports that browser was faster before 3.1 update?! Got mine already with update. Can someone confirm that? If its true this should be fixed hopefully next update?!

Opera is the fastest browser hands down in every category.
Opera just seems to hang when loading certain pages. For example I just did some speed tests using the same site for the stock android browser vs the Opera browser. The android browser routinely takes 3 seconds or longer to render any web page. The Opera browser will sometimes be displaying all its content but never actually finish loading. It's a glitch.
Don't get me wrong, Opera definitely is the fastest, but it is not without it's faults. You can enter a wall of text into a chat reply box only to have Opera completely delete all of it when you go to send it. NOW THAT is frustrating.

Try turning off opera turbo. It makes slow connections faster(compression) but it actually slows down fast connections merely because of the extra step going to the Opera proxy servers.
Just wondering what the majority of you are using as your default browser. I've always used Dolphin hd but been getting a lot of force closes. Still use it though as I love all the addons.
Opera for me

or Chrome sometimes.
ICS +
Stock browser with added features. Works and integrates quite well.
Disabled stock browser, using Chrome Beta for Android, in fricking heaven!
No Flash support, don't care
Using good old Dolphin for PAD browser, imo still the best.

Originally using stock ICS browser but this week changed to Opera Mobile. So far it looks and behaves pretty good.

No flash not a problem for you? I watch a few online highlights (football) sites.
I can't try it myself, it's unavailable here.
Chrome is good for me only to grab the websites i 've open on my computer, then copy paste the url in the STOCK browser...
I just hope one day get rid about this CPU eater FLASH!
just trying out opera now, I'm quite surprised. Last time I tried it images on sites wouldn't load for me and it kept opening mobile versions of sites. Granted it was at least 6 months ago that I tried it last but it seems to have improved a lot.
I may stick with it for a while until dolphin gets sorted for ics properly.

I use firefox for the sync and the addon. Plus I've been using firefox on my desktop for like 4 or 5 years

Try tint browser , very similar to to ics+ browser but alot faster
