I thought that the latest ota solved the browser lag problem, but it seems to be back now. The problem I'm talking about is the low frame rates and stutter that I experience when scrolling around a website.
Anybody else get this problem? I tried clearing the cache, to no avail

Have you tried another browser? Dolphin hd is great imo.

Maybe you should get a more classic browser...
I like the stock browser the best, and when it's not lagging it's fast and smooth and glorious.
I un installed a bunch of unused apps and other crap and things seem to be a bit better...

The stock browser is quite laggy yes but in the update (I hope) it's going to be very smooth At least it was on the ported 3.0 sense to DHD

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.
Rooted with s off and running iced glacier. Stock browser always force closes when I try and view videos like sharks game highlights and any videos really. Tried miren. Eh. Seemed like it ran slower for general browsing so I installed it. What's the best browser to use? Skyfire? Dolphin? Miren?
Thanks in advance

Install flash from the market.
I use the stock browser as it's integrated into the OS and gets the job done.
I use skyfire for video viewing and miren for everything else. I might try using mire and flash more, as miren seems, to me, the fastest of any browser I've tried.

I'm really partial and very happy with Dolphin HD
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I use Opera Mini because it is much quicker than any other browsers that I have tried. The only downside is that there is no flash plug-in available. Although when you go onto Youtube, you can click the "watch video" link and it will then let you choose whether to play it with the Youtube app or the regular Internet browser.
In my opinion Sky fire all the way!
I use and love dolphin hd
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i agree, dolphin browser is pretty slick and user friendly, but i use the stock one because the glacier rom v1.1.5.1 set it on the dock bar lol
Been trying out a variety of internet browsers on my cm7 aria. What Do you guys use and suggest? I've been vying for a new browser. Currently using dolphin mini. Please share your thoughts and what you know.
Thanks.

xScope is by far the fastest browser Ive used. Opera was good as well. But the lite version was a little lacking and the full version was HUGE, almost 30MB if I remember correctly. Maxthon Browser is another one I used for a while until I tried xScope. I never looked back. Amazing performance and its got enough features to keep me happy. Of course Dolphin is the king of addons if thats what you're after. But Ive found its a little slower then most of the other browsers.
I definitely recommend xScope and its free in the market.
+1 to xScope. Ran through a bunch this week; dolphin (lite, reg, hd), miren, boat mini, opera (mini and mobile), and skyfire for a little bit. They were all either too big (screen real estate), too bloated, or not functional enough. The Dolphin's especially absolutely destroyed my battery life.

Hi,
The browser on the arc is amazingly fast but when it comes to zooming or scrolling it's a bit laggy. I tried firefox and the scrolling is so smooth... but i prefer the default browser. I read it was something about opengl ? Why can it Be smooth like firefox ? Which one do you use ?

im using dolphin, got gesture feature, cool....
Xscope... Works perfect for me

I am using XScope.. I was using it on my X10 also
Im using the stock browser and agree that scrolling and zooming is stuttery. I use opera mini from time to time aswell. Its quick and smooth aswell but I see some phones have trouble installing it. Eg would not install on my desire or nexus s.

Another vote here for Dolphin - very good customising options.
Default browser.
Why didn't you make a kind of a poll?
I like Opera Mobile 11 a lot. I have used it as a primary browser few weeks. Few bugs but I like it because it's much smoother than the stock browser.
Opera Mobile here too.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Opera mini, its smoother than default browser, but im still looking for alternative browsers
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Opera Mini is actually the best web browser for smartphones, because iirc, they "intercept" the web site you want to view, scale down images for less MB usage/faster loading time, then serve that website on your Opera Mini.
At least that's how it worked a year ago.
Dolphin
Very smooth
And allows to change easily the user agent
Nice design

Dolphin here too
Small and fast
Actually, Dolphin is the stock browser with a theme and gestures.

* Stock browser for full browsing
* Opera Mini when data connection is slower or in travel.
Opera Mini has also the amazing Opera Link so my bookmarks are with me for years,
And has great download ability.
So, Dolphin, Opera mini and Xcope are the ones getting most recommendations. I'd like to know which provides the highest speed? I dont care too much about zoom in/out.
I use dolphin too, but I use the dolphin mini ! it's not only fast but more user friendly on general setting~~~only that it does not have auto-full screen, but I dont care~
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.

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.
