In regards to web browser test like acid3 and html 5 ...the stock browser scored on both test lower then my wife iphone 4

Yeah, but who cares? The iPhone 4 can't do Flash
But if you really want to go by those tests, Opera Mobile does the best I think... It's really fast too. Second is probably Firefox, but it kind of sucks right now because it's still beta and can't do Flash. The other browsers such as Dolphin and Miren have cool features, but they can't beat Opera Mobile in terms of speed.
Mirin is the best IMO.

Well I hope it is. I'm on miui right now so I can't really check. But being on it right now, there haven't been any checkerboard problems so far and I've been surfing the web for about an hour.
What is the differences between the two? Is the MIUI browser the EB13 browser, but optimized somehow? The EB13 browser is amazingly fast and awesome except for the checkerboarding, so I would love to know that nothing else is changed other than the checkerboarding issue being fixed.
Dolphin HD
I've been using Dolphin HD Browser, but I like the stock one better[because it feels faster in my opinion]--except for the checker-boarding.
Try Dolphin HD browser. I don't use the stock one any more after using Dolphin.
Being able to set the user client mode is great for a lot sites that always try to push you to mobile versions.
Isn't the MIUI browser dependent on the MIUI framework?
Is the browser on CM7 as good as the simply honey 3.5 one and or Asgard? Because the browser on those to are iphone smooth browsers and i can watch 720p vids on them.... And other browsers are not an option, i like the stock android one.

lol haha does it scroll thru it smoothly
I been with CM7 since the first nightly. Having come off of an iPhone to the vibrant with this rom browser wise I would have to say it runs better that hat of iPhone anyday of the week.
It's good, but not as good as 2.1 or 2.2.1
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
why is it notetter than 2.1 or 2.2.1?
and does the browser of cm7 scroll thru the web pages as smooth sasgard and simply honey?
2.1 and 2.2.1 is have the best stock browser in my experience.
It's good enough for playing flash videos though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
first i apologize for my bad eng
I've see several video with gs2 vs dual and vs sensation and gs2 is the fastest in rendering of websites (no lag with video playing and heavy flash). I've read that this depend by hw acceleration.
Now all test i've seen are made with stock browser... with opera and dolphin is keep the hw acceleration or is only with stock browser?
Otherwise i can think that with opera/dolph gs2 dual and sensation are very similar during navigation.
I tested opera, stock and xscope in the peacekeeper benchmark, although stock was the fastest the differences were only very minimal, the results in themselves were pretty impressive
Which do you recommend my dearest friend.

Stock browser is way better than any other browser there. You can test by yourself. I have tried, Mozilla, Opera, Dolphin HD, out of them I liked Dolphin HD only, it's a good browser, still not a match to Stock but still not bad. Mozilla and Opera are pathetic IMO.
Regards.
If you want full text reflow like you get on other phones then Opera Mobile offers this, not just double tap reflow but when you pinch zoom in out it will reflow the text to fit the screen the default browser does not offer this.

xscope, not only is it very smooth but it also renders text at small sizes better than other browser making it easier to read (this way you can zoom out of most pages and still read everything)
btw the speed differences are negligible, they all score around 950 in peacekeeper with a difference of 6 points (ie 0.5%) at worst
I think you should test xscope, miren, dolphin hd and mine, opera and stock because these are all good but in different ways, see which one suits you
stock browser should have hardware acceleration and it is really smooth and fast with scrolling and multitouch...it is the best that i ever used
the main problem of opera is the remote rendering, you have to remember to not send any login details

only opera mini does this, opera mobile doesnt, and I sort of trust opera
I vote for opera mobile too .. stock does not have reflow on pinch.

Yeah on sgs you could pinch to zoom then double click to make the text reflow. On sgs2 it zooms out.....
yes..opera mobile is a good browser but it isn't at samsung stock level
That lack of reflow was quite annoying. I'm also using Opera Mobile. I like its Chrome like start screen.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I never had a problem with text reflow in the stock browser.... but the fact it gave checkerboard patterns all the time when scrolling made me try other browsers.
I've tried Miren, Opera and Dolphin HD. Personally, I find them all about equally as good, but in different ways. I like the interface of the latest Dolphin HD the best but Miren seems a smidge faster, and Opera faster still.

I think chrome's start screen is Opera like (seriously opera looked like that, with the speeddials, years before chrome was released)

Opera Mobile.
Had Miren for a while, also Stock, tested Dolphin HD.
Opera mobile brings its own presto engine, not using web kit like stock and Dolphin.
This results in best rendering and by far better HTML5 compliance (best of all mobile browsers on all platforms).
Speed is great with ~60'000 in browsermark, slightly more than stock and Dolphin.
Different flash contents on one page can be activated separately.
I like opera link a lot as well.
With opera:config countless settings are available, including user agent.

We gotta admit safari is a damn good browser for phones i seriously wish it could be ported somehow.

U guys recommend opera mini or the normal browser? Mini is supposed to be faster right?
Ok about to pull the trigger on it but i need to know one thing. When using boat of dolphin how smooth is the experience exactly? Ive been using android for 3 years now on HD2, galaxy tab, galaxy note and honestly none of them can match the browser experience ive found on wp7 or ios. My family has an Ipad 3 and its BUTTER SMOOTH. Have you used an iphone? is it as smooth?
Chrome is absolutely horrendous. Also, stop trolling. You posted this exact same thing in Next 10 forum yesterday, and I already answered you. iOS is a lot smoother than Android.

Horrendous? Really? Chrome runs pretty much perfectly for me. I've yet to find any website that causes notable lag. No complaints here.

UGH!!!!
I've never been a fan of chrome from android, however I think it did improve a tad bit, but really just a little (it still need a lot of work and still in beta to me). Anyway I think Google should have kept the stock android browser which is in my opinion the best mobile browser , better than safari or wp internet explorer. The quick controls, the fluidity and the support for flash makes it the best.

Definitely not horrendous. Its not really "smooth vs not smooth", the problem is that it's inconsistent. I would saw that 80% of the time its as smooth as safari on iOS, but the rest of the time it stutters a little, especially when the page is loading.

Most Android users aren't known to appreciate a smooth phone experience

IT's actually much smother on the GN4 than on my ASUS T300
I've compared Chrome on my N4 with the browser on my wife's SGS3. Chrome opens webpages super fast. It's faster than her S3, but the scrolling is sluggish in Chrome. It seems like a flick doesn't carry much inertia on the webpage and it doesn't scroll down very far. The super fast loading of web pages is great, but the scrolling is really bugging me.

Chrome isn't brilliant to be honest. Scrolling is smooth but it lags behind your motions, and loading performance is only okay. I personally use Dolphin as it feels the most like a desktop browser in terms of UI. Dolphin is far smoother.
Compared to iOS? No, not as smooth. However, it's honestly more than acceptable, coming from an iPhone 5 myself. Not something that you really notice when browsing.

This is android. If you don't like chrome, don't use it. The aosp browser from jellybean 4.2 is totally smooth.

Chrome isn't the best but it gets the job done fast enough and doesn't lag lol. For me too much effort to use another browser and sync all my stuff.
The AOSP browser's pretty amazing.
Chrome has scrolling issues. Dolphin is pretty smooth though.
I personally prefer Chrome over the AOSP browser because it syncs everything I need perfectly. The lag is minimal and doesn't even bother me. All personal preference
