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.

Opera on XOOM

Opera is reaaaaaaal smooth on the xoom guys...
tried Dolphin hd (crap), skyfire (choppy) and firefox (a joke). so far, only opera feels like a true tablet browser. also, once a page is cached, the load is instant (as it should be!)
now let's hope they allow the addition of more quickdials (9 ain't enough)
btw it's the full opera, not the mini

Really? Every time I try including right now, it is slow as crap. Dolphin HD is just as bad. Stock browser seems to be the best choice for me and that is not as zippy as I want either.

agree with OP. opera is awesome. Its the only browser I use on xoom right now, unless I need flash.

I like dolphin mini much better. I hate dolphin HD.

Yep +1 Dolphin Mini is the best browser right now.Opera is good but the lack of flash made me feel like I was using an Apple product lol.

dolphin HD works well for me....not sure why some people say its slow especially since the last update. My problem with opera is that some pages still showed up as mobile

euuuh guys I'm talking about Opera Mobile not mini.... flash works fine.

Stock browser still works best for me. Opera is fast but also crashes sometimes and I am unable to synchronise with my Opera Link account. Hoping for a fix soon.

thanks for the tip, using it now and seems much smoother, although slight delay noticed between clicking a link and the link opening, as if it's loading in the background, need to play around with the settings

How is the tab operation in opera mobile in honeycomb?
I found the tab is not as easy as the stock browser (all tabs are accessible directly outside) .

With you...read a 100 of these although browser post but none of the hold a candle to the stock browser....but everytime I read them I go download the app...still no good.

Just downloaded. It's real smooth but does not play flash. If it played flash I would make it my default.

Best Mobile Web Browser?

Lacedaemon here! According to all you HTC Evo 4G owners, what is the best mobile web browser? Post your opinions in the thread and in the poll!

I actually still use the stock browser. The only other one that I used and liked was DolphinHD. Firefox was always buggy for me.

Agreed, even though I use Firefox on my desktop, the mobile version loads pages inefficiently...

Does Dolphin still suck? It used to be good, then recent updates slowed it down horribly - constant force closing, horrendous download speeds even though other browsers downloaded fine. I had used it forever but gave up on it.
I don't think I was the only one with those issues. It happened after a full wipe/fresh flash and downloading from the market instead of restoring. I didn't use any add-ons either.

I've used many, and Miren is my clear favorite.
Dolphin HD is too big, slow, and bloated.
Firefox just plain sucks.
Opera and Skyfire are OK.
Miren is laid out just how I like it and it works smooth as silk. Comes with a nice news and bookmark widget too.

I Prefer stock evo browser only problems I get sometimes when download large files. I keep mozilia install to download files. All other broswer like dolphin, etc. Doesn't work for me.

Good choice, culua. Don't forget to vote your pick in the poll!

Maxthon, ftw!

I tried using stock browser for about 3 minutes until I realized it was horrible. Dolphin HD all the way....

Dolphin HD is the best browser hands down, has flash support, very light and the tabed browsing is great, speed dail home page and and it loads up instantly to get you where want fast cause lets be honest when you use a mobile browser most people only use it for like 3 minutes at a time so no one wants to wait 5 minutes for the browser itself to load up

Stock works fine and open source. =P

Boat Mini Browser

I voted for Opera.
I've only tried Firefox and the stock browser before, though. I like Opera because the interface is fairly clean, although I think the buttons could be smaller (but other people would probably hate small buttons). I think it's nice as it has tabs, but it isn't on the screen all the time. The largest reason I wanted to use Opera was because of its ability to act as a Desktop browser, though. I don't have a limited data plan or anything so it doesn't affect me.
My biggest problem with Opera is that some things don't act right, particularly with Facebook. I wouldn't use the Facebook app at all if it did work the way I want. Message windows go off the screen and it's impossible to hit the send button without zooming out all the way and hitting the button precisely, etc. Other than that, I don't think I have any real issues with it.
Firefox had issues with format (way more than just Facebook), I didn't like how it handled tabs, and even though it was nice to be able to sync with my desktop, it wasn't enough. I love Firefox on my desktop though!
I'm going to try Dolphin since people here seem to like it, but judging from images, it seems kind of bloated.

I've been using xscope.
I used to use miren but for some reason it started getting a little laggy feeling. Xscope is freaking fast and snappy
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I say Xscope and then Miren

Which browser are you using?

I was wondering which browser you all are using? I've tried the stock, miren, maxation, opera and dolphin. IMO all but maxathon are slow. I wish miren worked, but all I kept getting is force closes.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab!

by "dolphin" do you mean dolphin HD, dolphin mini, or dolphin for pad (beta)? I use dolphin for pad exclusively.

Opera...cause it's the only one that works for ecollege.

Dolphin for pad is great. Been using it since I got the tab and I always revert back to it after trying others.

another vote for Dolphin for Pad. Although there are a few bugs and I wish they would release an update...

Opera mobile and dolphin for tab should opera give me a problem.

I was unaware that there was dolphin for pad... I'll check that out. I was using the Dolphin HD before. Thanks!

meh i like the stock browser even if its slower then 3rd party... idk why =/

yeha i too like the stocker,but Im chasing fastest performance.

+3 for Dolphin for Pad beta. Also wish they would update it. The only two things I would change on it is to be able to do gestures while in full screen and to have bookmarks sync.
Sent from xda premium app

Gonna have to try out these other browsers. Although I really don't have any complaints with the stock browser.

So far, really happy with Dolphin Pad, especially for a beta

Mozilla is working on a tablet specific version so your wishes will come true eventually.

How do you activate the gesture? I tried to draw the signs but nothing happens
I tried Maxthon for 10'' tablet but got some problems with displaying non active tabs so I'm using the TW stock browser

'yeha after heavy use of maxthon, i noticed issues too. A lot of hang ups

I use Opera Mobile.

Any other browser instead of Chrome?

Well, Chrome lags. Dont know if its a hardware fault (i seriously doubt it) or just the browser's fault, but it just lags. Even the default browser on my HTC Sensation feels a lot more smoother.
Is there any other good browser which doesnt lags?

I believe Dolphin browser is a popular alternative.

Firefox, Opera, Opera Mini
You can't go wrong with the major ones
But Dolphin is also good.
Quite a few, all up to you :thumbup:

I was a Dolphin user for a couple of years. It's a good browser, and recently I switched to Firefox. A few months ago Firefox was quite terrible bit it has really matured a lot.

I've been using Boat Browser along side Chrome - its nice and quick. Not sure why I haven't made it my default browser yet LOL. I do agree that Chrome is significantly slower than most third party replacements.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I am using Boat Browser. It supports flash and has nice themes.

I use smooth Rom which upon install with aroma asks what browser you want to install. I chose the stock android browser because I chrome is pretty laggy and it works a charm xD. You don't get all the functionality of chrome, but it adds up to be a much more pleasant experience.

I've been using Boat more and more. All I really care about is how well a browser renders and scales a page since I'm almost always in portrait mode.

i've been using dolphin beta and it's not too bad. is there one besides chrome or stock that will sync bookmarks with your google account?

I highly recommend dolphin
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

Most important to me in a browser is text reflow.
I don't get that on my note with dolphin so i use Opera mobile & Maxthon mobile (by far the fastest browser I've ever found) both give Reflow on my note.
*Maxthon is a good simple browser with some well thought out settings options & one touch full screen button.
Dolphin is trying to be everything while neglecting its basic purpose in my opinion.
