Which browser is your favorite for your rooted kindle fire and which seems the fastest? Thx
I haven't tried Dolphin but seem to be flipping back and forth between silk and opera. Had some issues with opera loading sites properly (i.e. my google apps mail account?) but the thing I like most about opera is the dynamic resizing of content to fit the screen - makes browsing a dream - no horizontal scrolling required! Silk doesn't do this. Use opera on my other computers also so am able to sync all my bookmarks which is nice. Now only wish they supported LastPass for my passwords.
I haven't noticed any appreciable speed difference between the 2 browsers.
I use Opera Mobile most of the time. I have not tried Dolphin in a long time and never on my Fire.
tried them all
I've tried most browsers and I prefer dolphin, it seems to be the quickest and some nice little extras.
I'm rooted and running CM7.. very smooth with not many issues..
I have to use all 3 depending on the website

Another vote for Dolphin. Maxthon second or Firefox with alot of the add-ons...
My personal preference is dolphin. I use it on all my android devices.
I'd use dolphin if there was a way to keep the tabs on the top
i like dolphin
Support the open web, use Firefox! Besides, you'll be surprised at how fast it is, and since it uses the same codebase as the desktop version there is little difference between the desktpp and mobile web. And having access to all your bookmarks through sync, and the awesome screen really puts all the other browsers to shame. Really the only competition Firefox has is Chrome and the stock Android browser, except Google has a vested interest in not allowing ad-blocking plugins, so I find I spend more time waiting for Chrome to load a page than Firefox because the ads are slowing it down.

I use the Firefox Beta because of adblock and sync. (I use Aurora on my desktop but I found the Android version a bit too buggy for my tastes...Nightly as well)
Honestly, I've tried every Android browser that I could find and they all kinda suck even with the user agent set to desktop.

I'm on WM6.5 right now with Android on SD card. I mostly use Android because of the Flash support in the web browser. How does the WP7 browser stack up against the Android browser?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
no flash, but scrolling and pinch to zoom is better.
Depends on the sites you are using
I use to bet a lot with austrian bookie Bet-at-home. The stock Andtroid browser is unusable with them as it overlaps the odds and you can't really place a bet at all. IE dispays it just fine.
I also use electronic invoice services from efaktura.bg. IE is the only mobile browser I know so far that allows me to login to my account there. Every other browser out there including Opera 10 can not display the login button Same goes for some other sites I need to use for business and fun.
For me personnaly IE Mobile (WP7 edition) is currently the most compatible browser for the sites I use, closely followed by Opera 10 (probs with efaktura.bg). Other browsers may have fancy stuff like flash, but I don't watch YouTube, so basically I don't need it that much.
That said I absolutely know that most users will be perfectly happy with the Android browser and will enjoy the extras they get there. So at the end of the day it really depends on the sites you visit and if they work correctly.
I neither like the IE mobile (no customization possible) nor the stock android browser(compatibility, few customization and not that fast)
I prefer Dolphin HD mini as the normal Dolphin HD is just too heavy and became too slow. (Android)
WP7:
- no flash (you can it use for other stuff than pr0n, youtube and ads)
- no real settings
- no fullscreen
- no copy & paste (i know not the browser's fault)
Android:
- slightly slower than IE
- pinch to zoom also a tiny bit worse than on wp7
IE on WP7 is based on IE7 with bits of IE8 in there. Pocketnow reported last week that M$ are working on bring IE9 to both desktop and WP7 soon. The Mango update, which will follow the NoDo update, looks set to bring IE9 to WP7. This will have copy/paste (NoDo update) as well as rumoured flash support.

Long Story short : It sucks
The text looks really blurry in ie, in Android its really sharp.
And the flashplugin is really useful e.g. you can watch southpark episodes on southpark.com or watch videos on the full youtube site who are not available in mobile version yet
WP7 browser is faster (I am dual booting CM7 and WP7)
Wondering what the best browser is to closely mimic the desktop browsing experience, flash, etc on my N7. I love chrome and all its syncing features and seamless connection with my desktop, but the lack of desktop agent is killer.

For me chrome integrates the experience. For the first time I now use browser sync ! Out of curiosity are there any priority tasks you require flash for or jspust general browsing? Coming from Linux I am glad to see flash not included, after years of 100% CPU video playback and unusable webapps. I look forward to what the latest android / web APIs make possible.
You can push flash onto the device and use it with the aosp browser, Firefox, opera? Etc iirc

Lack of desktop agent!?!?! There is an option in the one and only settings menu to "request desktop site".
I like the Firefox beta.It works well with flash.If you install the "phoney" add on you can make websites think you are on a desktop or other device and get around some of the things they don't have updated apps for.It is the only way I could find to get hbogo and maxgo to work with the tablet.

Beginning Aug 15 adobe is phasing out flash from play store.
Expect your favourite sites to cater to the needs of the masses!
Lots of development for Chrome on WP8. Shame it's not actually from Google itself but I'm cool with Chromium or some like ported to it.

I've used chrome on my PC and I can honestly say that it sucks.

In Windows 8 Chrome sucks , IE rocks :laugh:
i really like to see IE Team open more to the developers, ABP team showed interest to make it available on IE, but they said it is deep locked.
While i am not saying that Tracker Protection from IE sucks, but it doesn't do a great job like what ABP can do for both Firefox and Chrome. One of them is the ability to block and skip YouTube short 30 sec Apps on any video that are enabled with ads. (while using HTML5 in trial mode can do pretty much the same thing, but not all videos on YouTube are able to be viewed under HTML5 mode)
And , being able to customize the browser to the way you want with persona or theme is a neat idea, even the bookmark bar on IE always show silver and it doesn't match the Windows Color Theme.
There are some features that i do miss from others browser as well on IE, one of them is the ability to drag and drop anything to the tab bar and the Browser will automatically open a new tab for you. (There are a lot of webpage doesn't format other website link under hyperlink).
I am just a little nitpicking about the visual of the browser, i don't doubt the performance of IE10 at all.

I kindly ask that you please stop bumping your thread every three hours. There are other threads in here - please be courteous.
^ Seriously. Besides that it's pretty obnoxious as well. Not sure why I would want to use an iOS safari browser anyways... There's a reason I got an Android over an iPhone.
Maybe make themes for it so I don't have to look at iOS? Maybe then I'd try it. . .
Added immersive mode for devices running kitkat. Go to settings and enable full screen mode.
I posted a review on the market. There's no advertisements until you view Facebook you get a bottom left hand intrusive advertisement that doesn't let you use the browser. Plus I just saw this thread with all this bumping.. Didn't give me high hopes so I uninstalled it.
