Skyfire browser anyone? - Acer Iconia A500

I haven't used Skydive for ages but figured I'd restore a titanium backup to my a500. I've been happy with the stock browser.
My initial impression is skyfire seems really fast compared to stock. I'm not much of a Dolphin or Maxthon fan.
Anyone else having good results?

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.

Best internet browser?

Is the dolphin browser the best browser on the EVO? If not, what is?

im using dolphin just because the stock one was being pissy lol it kept closing whenever there was heavy flash on a web page
The browser that comes with gingerbread is super fast. I used to run Miren, but I'm really happy with the speed of the stock GB browser.

So before you switched over, was the Miren browser in your opinion the better browser out there? Miren > Dolphin?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I've tried Miren, Xscope, Dolphin and skyfire. Of them all, Miren delivers the smoothest experience, and with the fewest FCs.
If you use Firefox 4 Beta on a PC then Firefox for Android is far and away the best. It syncs your favorites, passwords, history, and open tabs.
+1 on the firefox.
Dolphin Mini

In practice, I've not found this actually works at all, in fact, I found Firefox to be a horrible experience on the EVO.
I really wanted to like it, but it won't open when you click a link from and email for example, and it's rather slow, and I never got it to sync with my other machines. It's just not ready to daily use yet, IMHO
I uninstalled after a week, and installed Dolphin, which I really like so far.
I'm going to install Miren later today and give it a go, thanks
I like Opera Mini, loads everything super fast.
I have used miren, dolphin, xscope, and modified stock browsers my daily is xscope but im looking at miren now after it the recent update.
does anyone know if firefox for android syncs with minefield (firefox testers betas)
me personally, ive tried dolphin and i still prefer the stock android sense browser. it gets the job done, flash videos play fine, and downloading is easy.

Yeah, for me Miren was noticeably faster than dolphin.

Is there a way to get the gingerbread browser on a sense rom? Anyone have it to post with maybe instructions on how to do it?

I'm going to give Miren a go. Seems pretty win.

Opera mini
I'd have to go with Dolphin Mini. I used Dolphin HD for the longest. Tried Mirens for the last week then switched over to Dolphin Mini the last two days. So far it's the best. Fastest webpage scrolling and typing. Zero lag on that browser.
firefox feature wise sounds great but it's really really buggy

Best browser for the aria?

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.

Jittery browser

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.

opera mini, mozilla firefox, dolphin mini / hd, miren browser... im pretty sure uve seen one of them before
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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

Any other browser instead of Chrome?

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.

i've been using dolphin beta and it's not too bad. is there one besides chrome or stock that will sync bookmarks with your google account?
I highly recommend dolphin

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.
