Aside from changing the UA string to desktop, is there any other option to change for better browser performance?
setting to iPad allows better html5 integration . some sites haven't added android tablets recognition yet.

Wouldn't that makes most sites load as mobile sites though?
they load like iPad sites.embedded html5 video and such. try it and you'll see the difference.
Which browser is your favorite for your rooted kindle fire and which seems the fastest? Thx
I haven't tried Dolphin but seem to be flipping back and forth between silk and opera. Had some issues with opera loading sites properly (i.e. my google apps mail account?) but the thing I like most about opera is the dynamic resizing of content to fit the screen - makes browsing a dream - no horizontal scrolling required! Silk doesn't do this. Use opera on my other computers also so am able to sync all my bookmarks which is nice. Now only wish they supported LastPass for my passwords.
I haven't noticed any appreciable speed difference between the 2 browsers.
I use Opera Mobile most of the time. I have not tried Dolphin in a long time and never on my Fire.
tried them all
I've tried most browsers and I prefer dolphin, it seems to be the quickest and some nice little extras.
I'm rooted and running CM7.. very smooth with not many issues..
I have to use all 3 depending on the website

Another vote for Dolphin. Maxthon second or Firefox with alot of the add-ons...
My personal preference is dolphin. I use it on all my android devices.
I'd use dolphin if there was a way to keep the tabs on the top
i like dolphin
Support the open web, use Firefox! Besides, you'll be surprised at how fast it is, and since it uses the same codebase as the desktop version there is little difference between the desktpp and mobile web. And having access to all your bookmarks through sync, and the awesome screen really puts all the other browsers to shame. Really the only competition Firefox has is Chrome and the stock Android browser, except Google has a vested interest in not allowing ad-blocking plugins, so I find I spend more time waiting for Chrome to load a page than Firefox because the ads are slowing it down.

I use the Firefox Beta because of adblock and sync. (I use Aurora on my desktop but I found the Android version a bit too buggy for my tastes...Nightly as well)
Honestly, I've tried every Android browser that I could find and they all kinda suck even with the user agent set to desktop.
Wondering what the best browser is to closely mimic the desktop browsing experience, flash, etc on my N7. I love chrome and all its syncing features and seamless connection with my desktop, but the lack of desktop agent is killer.

For me chrome integrates the experience. For the first time I now use browser sync ! Out of curiosity are there any priority tasks you require flash for or jspust general browsing? Coming from Linux I am glad to see flash not included, after years of 100% CPU video playback and unusable webapps. I look forward to what the latest android / web APIs make possible.
You can push flash onto the device and use it with the aosp browser, Firefox, opera? Etc iirc

Lack of desktop agent!?!?! There is an option in the one and only settings menu to "request desktop site".
I like the Firefox beta.It works well with flash.If you install the "phoney" add on you can make websites think you are on a desktop or other device and get around some of the things they don't have updated apps for.It is the only way I could find to get hbogo and maxgo to work with the tablet.

Beginning Aug 15 adobe is phasing out flash from play store.
Expect your favourite sites to cater to the needs of the masses!

I kindly ask that you please stop bumping your thread every three hours. There are other threads in here - please be courteous.
^ Seriously. Besides that it's pretty obnoxious as well. Not sure why I would want to use an iOS safari browser anyways... There's a reason I got an Android over an iPhone.
Maybe make themes for it so I don't have to look at iOS? Maybe then I'd try it. . .
Added immersive mode for devices running kitkat. Go to settings and enable full screen mode.
I posted a review on the market. There's no advertisements until you view Facebook you get a bottom left hand intrusive advertisement that doesn't let you use the browser. Plus I just saw this thread with all this bumping.. Didn't give me high hopes so I uninstalled it.
