I've been using Dolphin hd lately but sometimes it's just really slow.The Mini version seems faster at times, but the lack of that scrolling left bookmarks bar and toolkit bar bums me out. I just can't decide which one to use. Opera browser is really fast to...there are just to many to choose from. What one do you guys prefer?
I'm using the new Dolphin HD 5.0 beta. While it can be slow at times, it at least supports flash, which Opera doesn't. Once Opera supports flash, I'll switch, until then, sticking with DHD5.

Yea I just got an update today for dolphin HD. Amazing!
I seem to be a minority but I always end up using the stock browser after trying any of the options.
Any browser that has a splash screen is instantly out. I don't think an application as important and as often used as a web browser should make me stare at a screen while it loads.
That said, Opera seems pretty nice. I've been using it on my Nook running CM7 and that may just win me over from the stock browser.

Really? I think its faster now. I only use like 2 add ons though.
I use Dolphin HD (on my evo and my xoom) and I love it, no desire to even look at another browser, and I've tried them all.
Between the side scrolling and tab management I'm sold.. well, I would be sold if it wasn't free, lol.
Loving the new update too

I'll check out that maxthon. I actually uninstalled Dolphin hd. I don't know about you guys but when I'm browsing with my phone I use the browser to its potential. I almost do what I would do on my desktop. Every time I would be about 25 minutes into browser with dolphin, it would start to be really slow and glitchy. Links won't work sometimes. Sometimes the whole pages wouldn't load. I wouldn't be able to click on links, simply because they didn't load. Idk, so I've been using Miren lately and love it.

Works VERY WELL! I have lived by miren browser... this blows miren out of the water... very snappy to load pages! My new favorite browser! Now they just need to make it work on something other than ics and it'll be the only browser I need!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I agree, its pretty snappy and it feels like it should have been there all along.
I like it very much.
I just downloaded it and I really like it so far. The tab system is really smooth and good looking and there are a bunch of nice optimizations (like the magnification bubble that pops up when clicking on small links, like page numbers on a thread). The desktop bookmarks is SUPER laggy though, it takes a good 15-20 seconds for it to load and let you click on something.
Been using this on my PC's for years and I love it on my phone. Fastest browser yet! I just hope they come out with a dark version. Previously I used the dark dolphin mini and blacked out miren, chrome is soooo bright!

How often do people go to Kongregate on their phones through the browser to play games? There's enough apps with similar games, and you will still have the stock browser with flash if you really need it. I find that I barely use it in the browser. The Chrome browser is really well put together and will only get better!
HTML5 is just about ready to bust out; youtube has a whole branch for it. I am thinking really soon HTML5 will get the big push. (in that non-computer geeks will know it exists)
i agree flash is out dated but alot of sites still use it. thought it deserve a mention for people like me that dont want to have multiple apps for one purpose cluttering their phones. chrome beta is a great browser but until flash is completly gone it wont work for me. just my prefrence.
Running this on CM9-alpha1 and loving it! Tab management is the best I have seen to date, very clean. Also, syncing bookmarks and history is a huge plus. I type "f" in the address bar and it auto-suggests straight to the Epic 4G Android Dev page on XDA, just like it does on my laptop and desktop.

Irrelevant. It is a browser's job to show me web pages. If there's an old page with useless flash content, it is the responsibility of the browser to render it.
Regardless, I downloaded this earlier and wonder why it hasn't been part of Android all along, or why it wasn't just an update to the stock browser. Google now has two very similar mobile browsers for Android.
Well this new look is a big change. I refresh my page and bam! New layout, lol.
Thoughts on it?
Too bright. I'd prefer an inverted version.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
Too big. I browse XDA on my second monitor which is a 15 inch. Besides that, I think it looks alright.
I like it. It is bigger. Should look better on my 24" Monitor when I get it, also should look much better at 1080p as well.
it is a bit large but I think I like it better than the 2010 theme. I wish they had a floating bar a the top though, one that would stay while you scroll with the account options and maybe page selection.
I fixed my problem by going to control panel, edit options, and changing the skin to the last one on the list. Now I get the nice theme and I will not have to read XDA on my bigger monitor.

I am the proud owner of a new Nexus 10, and I thought I would carry out some browser benchmarks to see which browser worked best as the earlier bechmarks using Chrome were a little dissapointing...
The bechmarks are lower is better with the exception of V8
Sunspider, V8(higher is better), Kraken
Chrome (stock) 1365ms, 3023, 11222
QQ Browser 881ms, 4032, 10087
Boat Browser 886ms, 3614, 10213

Safari 908ms, 1553, 19618

I've tested both Firefox and Ocean in Sun spider.
Ocean got 780ms and Firefox got just over 1000ms.
Ocean also is as smooth as the iPad in scrolling/zooming, while Firefox was a bit more studdery in my experience.

Well, I've tried them both out, and actually I've gone with the recent update to Dolphin Beta 1.2 for JB. It runs -Very- smoothly and much better than Chrome(which is pretty easy right now). It doesn't load pages quite as fast, but it's close.
I've never been a huge fan of Boat (I dislike the bottom navigation bar that you can't remove).
Ocean is very quick on not so media heavy sites, but I hate how much screen you lose to the address bar and tabs.
I also had a lot of screen tearing and rendering issues with Boat and Ocean.
I frequent Roosterteeth.com and both ocean and Boat would just bog down, give up and render nothing but a tiny sort of grid like static.
So for me my daily driver is going to be Dolphin Beta for now. If I need Flash, Firefox is my pick for that. It's a clunky interface and a little buggy but handles Flash nicely when it has the system resources the Nexus 10 can provide. I also didn't experience any of the rendering issues Boat and Ocean had while using Firefox.
So I've got to trade some performance for compatibility. That's my take anyway.
Also, the Nexus 10 is Awesome.
So, is jet-pack a plug in or stand alone browser? I've downloaded Dolphin, Dolphin beta, and Jet pack. They all show up separately in my apps.

If you enable the quick controls the interface disappears. It's very similar to the AOSP browser except a different layout on the controls.

Jetpack is a custom back-end renderer for Dolphin as opposed to just being a shell interface for the stock renderer. You can think of it like a plug-in but it's more than that.

Dolphin browser is one of the minimal theme browser which has become a favorite. Its gesture based web surfing makes browsing fast and easy. Make gestures and the browser understands which page to render. It also has voice based web searching feature. Some of the important features which makes this browser different from the rest are: Webzine (Fast Web page loading, with no ads), Speed dial, sidebars and interesting add-ons.

I have the same experience. Both the stock browser and chrome take approx. the same time to "start up" (aka show some parts of the interface), but with chrome it takes some seconds until it actually starts loading a website (before, it takes some time until it shows the number of tabs, maybe it is related?)

I used to have the same problem on stock rom with Chrome lastest version. Best thing for me at that moment was to use the old Chrome version included on my JB update. Also disabling Chrome history and desktop syncro really helped. Those two simply steps get Chrome considerable faster; the price was less security less funcionality.
Still, i agree the app totally sucks. Now i'm using Omar's ROM and last Chrome stable and waiting those 4-5 seconds. Could be worse, like in stock rom.
My Razr i really sucks there. Browsing on Chrome is a nightmare. Also stock browser is laggy. I regret swapping my Nexus 4 with Razr i for my daughter. I don't want to mess up with roms and old version of Chrome. I miss simplicity and reliability of Nexus. Razr is my last phone from Motorola.
People should be aware that there is a reason why Boat Browser, Dolphin and all the other "best replacements" are free. Even Chrome is not recommendable. I am using the stock browser and I'm not missing anything. On my Nexus 7 I use this app to install the AOSP Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller

I am using the stock browser and I'm not missing anything. On my Nexus 7 I use this app to install the AOSP Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller

I agree, the stock browser works alright.
Chrome beta works okay too but somehow they really broke chrome non beta...it suxx but the only difference to the nexus 4 is that it keeps chrome in the nice 2gb ram so it doesnt have to laggy launch again.
Its kinda laggy at first non ram start on the nexus4 too so i guess google just messed up their "stable" version of chrome again.

Thanks man for that! Chrome beta really is much much faster than non beta. Great news for me, at least I could switch to chrome. Cool

Chrome has my bookmarks, and its AS fast AS stock Browser unless Google messed a Version up like the current build. Beta is fine now, months ago its been beta that was slow
Newest Chrome Beta

Same here
Same situation here, Chrome takes too much to load, I use the "stock browser" all the time because It takes forever to load for Chrome!
Regards.
Dolphin browser with dolphin jetpack installed is the fastest browser I have tried. Chrome beta was great too, but it force closed too often

Chrome is sluggish for me too. Will try the stock browser instead
