yes i have just seen those including "steel" and what i am installing with high hopes the firefox/fennec beta!
fennec opens and closes (not force) on its own oh well
Do people not like the stock browser? My votes is for the default web browser since it's the best I've tried so far. Firefox looks promising too.
i dont mind the defualt but i cannot download no files that are .apk even after doing the settings change to allow them. this is why i switched browsers. i really wanted to try this fennec except it doesnt launch...

I like Skyfire and the Desire Browser the best.

LMAO! Wait... don't make me add you to my blocked list!
Have you flagged Allow Unknown Sources in Settings-->Applications?
Doing so default browser should download .apk

yes i have but it still dont work but does for other browsers.
1) use Download Crutch for default browser to download anything.
2) Tried default one & Skyfire 2.0. Didn't like Skyfire - jumpy zooms, videos play only partially and can't be navigated (forward/back), etc. Still keeping Skyfire just in case, but using default one.
The only serious quirk of the default browser - lack of proper visual tab interface for selecting between browser windows (you have to switch between windows based only on their titles).
I haven't seen any reason to switch off of the default browser. It has a very Chrome-like feel to it, and has outperformed the other browsers I've tried (Opera and Skyfire so far) by a large margin. I feel like Google did a good job importing a close rendering of their fantastic desktop browser onto the mobile market.
Another solution is:
Install ASTRO FileMenager and flag Enable Download from Browser. You can find this option in Preferences
I've tried all of them and so far XScope has been the only one I use. Love it and always getting better.
So let's make a list:
Native
Opera Mini
Skyfire
Xscope
Dolphin
Steel
Is there any other?
I suggest to copy and paste the list and add him to it so in the end we get a whole list.

Doesn't that only apply for the market?
Pretty sure we'll be able to DL anything in the next CM update which will render all the other browsers (aside from the stock one) useless. At least for me.
And I agree with the above poster that the only quirk are the tabs, or lack of. Add those then we are in business.
Is it possible to remove the stock android browser without any problems? I want to use xScope as my only browser and some apps always use the stock browser without asking me which I want to use, and I want that to stop.

Now you will get asked which browser to choose for the app thats calling the browser
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
normally it gives the option of which browser to start if you have more than 1 installed, you can put the tick in remeber selection and set the browser and from then on it will open in your choice, are you saying this doesnt work for ?

S3 stock browser Is quite good,but i use opera because i can set Desktop mode as default.
In stock browser, sometimes Desktop default is lost.
Is there a way to set permanent default Desktop Mode in stock browser?

Besides the scrapbook option, there is no way to view a web page offline. Well, at least I could not find the option.
It is something missing in the Note 3. The scrapbook option only gives the section/screen you selected.
No way to save a scrolling page anymore?
Thank you in advance.
