This sux are using dolphin HD? I have used this since day one because of the fc after fc I had on the stock browser. I have yet to have a crash on it.

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 dolphin but the keyboard lag using predictive text was killing me. Hence why back room Google. How is Opera? Easy to set it to desktop mode?
In the stock browser use about:useragent in the address field and it will slow you to change to desktop mode.
It does not save this setting so u have to do it every time you restart the browser .

Ah so on the galaxy tab about:debug has been changed to about:useragent.
Thanks. That is good info.
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.

Does anyone else's browser force shut while trying to load random sites and close all your tabs? Mine happens quite frequently and has become rather annoying. Also for some rreason it forgot my pw an usernsme for xda and now it don't ask to save, anyone know how to reinitiate that prompt?
Mine occasionally closes as well. Also, my keyboard entry seems to lag like crazy!
WTF?
Trust me the lag on xda app isn't near as bad as it is on xoomforums.com. hoping a simple software update will fix this.

Thats a good point. I have experienced the odd crash of the browser and frankly the ONLY site I have issues browsing is this site (xda). When the site loads the performance of the browser drops off considerably. If I have additional tabs open (to other sites) the browser will fall over. I wonder what it is about this site (especially scrolling the main page) chokes the browser so much. Again, any other site or combo of sites that I normally troll all work fine, fast, stable.

Try and use a different browser. I'm using firefox and I'm not having any issues at all. To reinitiate setting for browser go to settings applications browser clear cache and set to defaults will get it.

I love mozilla anyway
my browser closes all the ttime. Seems to have picked up lately as well. Almost every time I switch tasks the browser crashes and loses all my open tabs
At first, this wasn't really a problem...over that past day or so, it's crashed several time. Last night I was purposely opening up 3-4 normal tabs (cnn, google, facebook, hopstop). It crashed at least 10 times in about 20-25 mins.
This is getting very annoying. I know can use another browser, but come on, I should be able to use the stock browser.
bump. anyone else have this issue? my browser has crashed on me about 10 times today...and of course had to crash as i was demonstrating the device to some apple fanboys and talking about how much cooler it is
I've had maybe one or two crashes since I've had it, but none in the last two days.
i am having some issues with pages not loading properly and where pdf / imagr download that the page does not a sign the file extension to do not load where they did on I pad. I am confident google will fix soon tho.
I have read some Honeycomb trick to always open full sites. Apparently, all androids have some sort of switch. Please enlighten me.

In your "Web Browser" I'm Pretty Sure if you Select Menu/Settings... Then Uncheck the Mobile View Box, It Should Enable the Desktop View until its Rechecked!!

Skyfire browser has an option on the main screen. Makes switching really easy. Works well if you are willing to try a different browser or just use like I do and only use skyfire when you want to run the full website.
Thanks. I kinda wanted to know this too.
Now to find out how to disable flash to make sites load faster, and to lessen that damned scroll lag. >.>
nothing beats the speed of 2.1 broswer. :/

Use Dolphin browser, it asked you during installation if you would like to view the mobile sites or desktop.
There is also a plug in for dolphim broeser hd that,toggles between mobile and desktop views. Works pretty good, sometimed have to restart the browser, not often.

Opera does this as well
can't you go to about:useragent on any browser and change it?
I am not interested in switching browsers. I dont have a mobile view switch in settings and i dont have about:user agent. I'll attempt to locate the article which said all androids can be switched to full view instead of mobile.

You do have user agent string in your browser. This should work on all webkit based browsers. I had read about this a long time ago, and with a single google search this came up.
http://lifehacker.com/#!5547037/change-the-user-agent-on-an-android-phone
The useragent string may or may not work depending on which ROM you are running. Back when I had stock eclair jfd I tried the user agent trick and all that did was crash my browser. Even rebooting wouldn't fix it, I had to factory reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7313019&postcount=5
I have froyo.ka6 and haven't tried it again, nor am I interested in trying it again since I have both Miren and Dolphin HD (both of which allow toggling of user agent AND have flash support).
I don't use stock browser anymore. Everyone says it's the fastest but I can't see any speed difference opening same sites with Dolphin HD or Miren...maybe in benchmarks you will see a few milliseconds?
Correct, i do have access to additional settings with about:command but don' have access to UAString which is needed to switch settings. Anyway the more i read about the subject, i found it was only temporary - per browser session. That is a waste of my time so i am moving along. i have eugenes froyo 2.2
If you want full vs mobile websites you definitely need to try another browser. You have lots of choices. Since you're running froyo you don't need the skyfire video capabilities 2.2 has flash video built-in.
Best free browsers for froyo (IMO)
Miren
Dolphin Mini
Dolphin HD (ad supported)
Opera Mobile 10 beta is ok but slower
Firefox is slowest but still in beta
Proxy browsers: (I don't like proxy browsers)
Skyfire
Opera Mini
Fastest for rendering / navigation are Dolphin HD and Miren.
There are a few others out there (xScope, Maxthon, UCWEB, Infinity).
All I can say is try them all decide which you like best - All have their pros and cons but they are all better than stock.
Title says it all, I keep going back and forth, the only annoying part of using Chrome is that when you try to to scroll horizontally it is a little trigger happy to switch tabs/windows.

I use Chrome. I have the occasional tab switching problem you mention but it really doesn't happen often the way I use it. Being able to sync bookmarks, passwords, history, and opening tabs from other devices is invaluable to me.

Never used Chrome on a phone before.
I had the forward button on my Xoom tablet on the address bar.
I use dolphin find it the best overall. However some financial sites block transactions on Dolphin but work ok on Chrome. So for those I use Chrome.

Yea, On a TABLET. The ONLY way to obtain a forward button and tabs at the top like a tablet, You would need to wait for CM10 or something for Mutiapp DPI.
You wont be able to do that on STOCK rom..
Chrome and Dolphin here. The only thing I hate about Chrome is the lack of an exit button.

Boat browser is my favorite, better than dolphin IMO, chrome sucks on android.
The stock browser not supporting a permanent desktop-mode is enough to make me look for a replacement though, this is a HUGE letdown for me. Not only that, but the removal of flash content makes the stock browser almost useless to me other than the text preview function.
However, It seems the stock browser is the only one that supports text preview without opening a link (mostly useful for various forums) in addition to smart scroll.
Which would be the best browser that supports flash while not being laggy/bloated with features and also having a permanent desktop mode?
I've found the latest chrome update to be really slow. In comparison, the stock browser loads the same page/pages in double quick time. Am I the only one or is it a general problem across the board?

I also found Chrome to be too sluggish. The browsers with the highest ratings at least based on reviews were Dolphin & Boat. A lot of the reviews on Boat said it was very snappy, very fast and that imo is probably the biggest factor with Flash support and a permanent desktop mode right behind.
been using chrome, but slowly trying to convert myself to the default browser so i can actually use all the gestures that i paid to have on the damn phone
I personally love dolphin with the jetpack installed. Normal browsing, jetpack turned off. When watching flash, jetpack turned on. With that turned on, flash works like dream on this phone. Can watch full episodes of Colbert no problem =)
firefox
Chrome.
Works great.
So people using Chrome. ...does it have flash support?
