Browser sync and differences

Hi,
one of the most important features for me (which makes me want to buy Honeycmob tablet) is browser.
As far as I know browser in Xoom is sort of a mobile version of Chrome.
So, my questions are:
- how close are they in reality?
- what can be synced?
- what can not be synced?
- what about extensions I use in my desktop chrome (one of them is freshstart to save open tabs! excellent)
- can I have my bookmarks bar in Honeycomb (I use it a lot)
I use three different PC's every single day and I work with browser a lot. All this makes Chrome so much pleasure to use... because I can finish work at one machine and easily continue (exactly where I was) on another machine few minutes later. I was hoping that tablet with Honecomb will fit right in
Will it?

Currently it only syncs bookmarks. All of your bookmarks sync just fine, folder structure is preserved. The only difference is that Bookmarks Bar shows up as the root folder with Other Folders as a subfolder in that. There is not a bookmarks bar, per se, but you can set your homepage to a Chrome-inspired "Most Visited" page which holds 12 pages (unfortunately you can't customize them, they are always your 12 most visited pages).
Chrome-to-phone still works on the Xoom, so you can always send pages from Chrome to the tablet, but you don't get any sort of tab syncing or extensions.

Is there any way to make web sites think it is chrome browser? Once the Flash is on the system it should be able to play all free videos as any other "desktop" browser.
I thought I read somewhere that phones with Android and Flash can do it.
Playon is not a solution. At home I can watch hulu on my desktop/netbook - the whole idea was to access it when I am not at home

Just like on phones, you can set it to use a desktop user agent. But for sites that check the flash version, you'll need to hex edit the plugin (there are other threads about that here if you look around)

At this stage I just need to know if it is doable - there is other thread about it... and I have been told -NO WAY (to do it) -either Hulu Plus or nothing :-(

Best browser for rooted KF?? (Silk, Dolphin, or Opera)

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.

Chrome Development For WP8

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.

No, thanks

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

Chrome is best browser ever. Firefox sucks, about IE i don't want to hear.

IE, Firefox and Opera the best browsers, CHROME SUXX

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.
