I was wondering which browser you all are using? I've tried the stock, miren, maxation, opera and dolphin. IMO all but maxathon are slow. I wish miren worked, but all I kept getting is force closes.

by "dolphin" do you mean dolphin HD, dolphin mini, or dolphin for pad (beta)? I use dolphin for pad exclusively.
Opera...cause it's the only one that works for ecollege.
Dolphin for pad is great. Been using it since I got the tab and I always revert back to it after trying others.

another vote for Dolphin for Pad. Although there are a few bugs and I wish they would release an update...
Opera mobile and dolphin for tab should opera give me a problem.

I was unaware that there was dolphin for pad... I'll check that out. I was using the Dolphin HD before. Thanks!
meh i like the stock browser even if its slower then 3rd party... idk why =/
yeha i too like the stocker,but Im chasing fastest performance.
+3 for Dolphin for Pad beta. Also wish they would update it. The only two things I would change on it is to be able to do gestures while in full screen and to have bookmarks sync.

Gonna have to try out these other browsers. Although I really don't have any complaints with the stock browser.
So far, really happy with Dolphin Pad, especially for a beta

How do you activate the gesture? I tried to draw the signs but nothing happens
I tried Maxthon for 10'' tablet but got some problems with displaying non active tabs so I'm using the TW stock browser
'yeha after heavy use of maxthon, i noticed issues too. A lot of hang ups
I use Opera Mobile.

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
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
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.
Just got nexus 7, chrome browser lags??
Anyone know why this is?
Its not smooth at all, I am on the latest firmware and completely stock.
Others notice this?
Yes it isn't smooth, If you want smoothness then try Firefox. Its just like on IOs.
Yeah it is choppy . Better try alternatives btw i don't think the sluggishness has anything to do with n7 it could be due lack of optimization of chrome .

Firefox is the only browser I've gotten flash to work with, but you still need to install the flash 11.1 apk separately.
On topic chrome browser is smooth for me.

I use Firefox Beta and it works just fine n.n I just can't live without the addons!
What's strange is that for me Chrome is the only browser that scrolls smoothly, Firefox and opera both lag on my 7 where on my nexus 4 they are both smooth... Go figure.
I use Firefox beta it seems to show Web sites the best out of all the browsers, but it is not the fastest loading

I m personally fine with using Chrome on my nexus 7..
Tried dolphin with jet pack, it crashes every single time.
Tried Firefox beta, it's super slow at loading pages so slow that I can't tell if it's loading or if it's hanged.
I'm on completely stock 4.2 without any mods at all. Anyone else with the same experience?

mufaddalezzi: you don't need to worry about websites yet, I have yet to hear about a virus entering an Android phone through an infected page/ad.
and for apps you should now have bouncer installed(part of the Google services framework, shows as "verify and install") which works with any browser.
I use opera mobile classic for now, until opera fixes all the crashes, oops cats, and slow animations in opera 15.
Chrome. And Firefox! Chrome because it look pretty much like pc version. And firefox because of flash support for my XTZ
Well I used lookout,mcafee and kaspersky and all detected some pages with malware and viruses and this happend in only on stock browser..I even tried to test same malware/virus page on other browsers and non of them were able to detect anything..so just thought playing safer side

uc browser hd, opera mobile classic and stock samsung browser
My 2 cents on all browsers on the market now.
Next browser : Their swype gestures and in UI in general is a pleasure to use, highly unstable though and seems like an unfinished product, until stability reaches a good level i can't recommend it
Chrome : The laggiest piece of crap in the market, can't recommend it at all
Chrome beta : much smoother but falls short in comparison with other browsers
Stock browser : The smoothest of the bunch, yet has the worst way to go from a tab to another, just feels dated
Opera : Didn't have a long experience with it, but it wasn't as fast or as smooth as opera so its just okay to me
Dolphin : Really smooth and really fast and has the best way to change tabs which is just natural and normal, my favorite choice, has support for flash, the problem with it that it forces you to watch links inside it instead of opening separated apps for the links, yet i can bear with that in return for the smoothness and the convenient tab switching
Dolphin because I can use Lastpass with it and Chrome because it syncs with my laptop and tab

Isn't Dolphin browser beta slow nowadays? i have had several problems like freezing pages and pages already loaded but the picture doesn't seem to appear.

Boat Browser opens big sites faster than any of 'em. Do your own testing, I have. You'll see. Turns Dolphin into a tortoise.
The new 'Next' browser...in beta, might beat em all tho.
Debating between stock Samsung or Chrome - which do you use? I tried Dolphin with Jetpack, scrolling is way too fast.

I use Chrome as I need Tasker, Lightflow and Pebble accessibility services and due to a bug in either Android or Touchwiz, the stock browser 'talks' if any accessibility functions are enabled.

The stock browser says things like 'page loading', 'page loaded' etc. If any accessibility functions are enabled.
I'll be using Chrome for now until I find a better alterative browser.

Right now I'm using Firefox with the flash apk. Love it so far. No lag or anything. Firefox for android has come a long way since I last used it. Also I have the ad block plus addon which works so I don't need root to block ads.

There was a feature in the Note II under browser settings > labs that gave the option for full screen and quick control gestures. I can't find it anywhere on the Note 3.
Also, looks like the stock Note 3 browser no longer syncs my bookmarks from my google account.
Can anyone confirm this or am I missing something.
Without these two things, the stock browser is worthless.
Try NB Pro browser. It really is very good. Not much to look at. I used to use Boat and Dolphin however I swear by this. It is developed by one of the debs at Xda. Very fast.
I use stock browser, perfect imho! And i sync favorites stored in two years of use of SIII
i prefer dolphin.
