Browser of choice?

I'm curious as to what browser you guys like to use. I've used Dolphin Browser HD for as long as I can remember, as I never really fancied the stock browser.
I don't really know about any of the other browsers available, so i'm looking for something new to use (and others might be too). Any suggestions?

I use the stock one for daily use, if I run into a page that insists to be viewed in mobile form then I switch to Dolphin.

I use opera mobile.

No broswer is as smooth as Opera Mobile on Android. It compares to the smoothness on Safari on iOS

Tried it out. It runs VERY well, but nearly all of the pages I visit direct me to the mobile version of their site. Is there any way to change the user agent in opera so that I get the desktop version every time?

Thanks for the tips...I'm definitely switching from the stock browser on my Droid X!

Pretty sure there was a thread here on XDA about that. Might want to do a Google search about that. "opera mobile 11 android desktop agent" All the sites I use direct to desktop so it hasn't been a problem for me.

Thanks for the tip! Found out how to do it, and works perfectly. I couldn't find it in the settings, so I figured it wasn't built in.

+1 for Miren. Only issue I run into is embedded videos just leaving a blank spot on the page, and also opening an android_asset/webkit page in the stock browser.

I've been using Firefox 4 mobile on my phone and tab, i'll probably try opera now because anything has to be better

I using Dolphin Mini right now.
I've tried Firefox but its just too slow and too CPU intensive. It's sad because it's what I use on my MacBook Pro and would live to be able to seamlessly sync everything.

I don't know about anyone else, but the stock browser on the Fascinate is horrible compared to other Android powered phones. I'm not sure what it is, but it just runs like crap. AND NO ANIMATED GIF SUPPORT!!!! (Custom ROMs appear to not work either, it's really weird actually. Animated GIF support goes in and out)
So i use Dolphin HD mainly. Normally I prefer stock, but since switching to the Fascinate. I use anything else, BUT!

for some reason Opera Mobile won't install on CM6. Bummer.

Odd. The stock browser feels the same as my old Droid's. Not much of a difference.
Back to the topic: I use the stock browser. It fills my needs perfectly. I'll try out Dolphin HD and Opera to see how they are.

I just tried dolphin mini again last night. After about an hour of use I saw no clear cut advantage over stock (for how I use it).
I don't use gestures and don't open multiple tabs on my phone. My web use is mostly simple lookups. My serious web use I do on my desktop computer. Almost every thing I do on my phone is app based. So the stock browser suits me fine and is as fast or faster as both dolphin HD and mini.

I've always preferred xscope over stock and dolphin. Will try opera

[Q] Firefox bookmarks on pc

OK i have searched and seen many topics on this, but none have an answer.
I use Firefox on my PC, is there a way to get my bookmarks from my pc to my continuum? i tried the Firefox mobile and its way too slow. i seen on one of them pages they said that you can use the chrome to phone plug in for Firefox and the chrome to phone app on the phone. and that would be fantastic. except that android market says that the chrome to phone doesn't support the continuum.
any ideas?

ha ha i definitely agree with this, i used to use Firefox alot until i found out about Chrome, definitely way faster and doesnt freeze up like Firefox, plus has alot of mobile sync options

The only thing you use IE, Firefox, Safari, or Opera for is to download Chrome

Problems Setting Up The Nexus 10?

I would be most grateful for any help or advice with setting up my Nexus 10.
My first problem is getting browsers that work with flash player. I've installed flash player but there is no option to activate it in the Opera Mobile browser or in the Chrome browser.
Also, I cannot use the BBC iPlayer or the latest BBC Media player for it says they are not compatible.

you can try boat browser. that is what Iuse on my echo and Erik install on my nexus 10 tonight.
I think skyfire supports flash but you have to buy the add on.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I've tried the boat browser and skyfire but they will not allow me to view a web site that uses flash player because I get an error asking me to install flash player which I have already done.
Perhaps those two browsers will only allow you to view video using flash player.
But I'm not sure.

Dolphin browser worked for me after installing flash. It is similar feel to chrome which is nice.

Flash Player on Galaxy Note 8.0

For general information the stock web browser will still support Flash. You can sideload Flash to the device and play videos and view other sites requiring Flash. I was searching the internet and wanted to see a clip but it required Flash. I downloaded the latest Flash Player and installed. Worked fine with the stock browser.

Just curious about where do you download the flash player.

Just google Adobe Flash Player 11.1_11.1.115.34-1.apk you should find somewhere to download it

Download from adobe:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.54/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Dolphin Browser works best with flash player, but you need to root the phone and hack the settings.
Use Root Explorer or similar app to edit mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml from data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
change the line string name="plugin_state" from OFF to ON or ON_DEMAND and save

It works 100% with mine.

I understood that Dolphin removed flash support, so it will not work with the current revision of either Dolphin or Dolphin beta. However Boat browser still supports it. I understand there is a work around hack, but its not worth my time when another browser works just as well.

For those who want to stream video via Amazon Prime, experiences have been generally negative. I had no luck with stock or xscope and others have had little luck with other browsers. Other than that, Flash experience has been OK for me.

Flash working fine here on stock browser, but even better, on this tab stock browser also supports smart text reflow, something sadly missing on stock browsers since gingerbread.

"mingkee" Thanks for sharing link for downloading adobe player.

You can also use dolphin browser with user agent set to ipad. Flash type files seem to work fine.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

The stock browser already support flash player. Beside, you may try Boat Browser, but have to purchase the pro license keys. Another choice is Lightning Browser.
However, I am searching for the compatible version of the adobe flash player, the latest and last version is 11.1.115.69, but it does not seems to be stable as I thought the latest should be bugs fixed and stability. I have tried to roll back to 11.1.115.54 and is more stabilise.

Flash archives straight from the source.

Thank you. I did get that one it is not working. I want to watch putlocker movies. Is that just going to far? I can use putlocker on my rooted note 2, sucks I cant do it on the bigger device. Sorry, maybe I am still doing something wrong?

Flash player

Are there any apps that will give flash support on jelly bean or are we just screwed?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Flash works perfectly for me. I'm rooted and replaced the default browser (Chrome) by renaming the BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex and copying in the Browser.apk from the AOSP Nexus browser. Side-loaded flash for mobile from the Adobe site. Search a little and you'll find lots more info about this. Other users claim Flash support on other browsers, but I haven't used them.

People like to use Firefox and install the flash apk. I have honestly never needed to use flash player though.

I sideloaded the flash player that I backed up from another device and use it with Firefox Beta (no root required).

I've attached the latest flash player. It worked fro me with Firefox. Mine is rooted. But if you are not you can give it a shot. Let me know if it works.

Works great on boat and maxthon browsers.

Dolphin works. Even newest versions. You need to delete or change some tunny browser file. I forget exactly, just search dolphin and flash. And no....you don't have to use version 8.5.xxx. that will crash if you full screen a video.

I just tried UC browser with flash and it worked. So far it's the only one that hasn't crashed when playing flash videos. Firefox crashes occasionally, boat crashes EVERY time I try to play a flash video.

After read your comment and google that finally I has found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933179 thread and it work!!

Ok, but I'm not rooted (yet)
Just got my nexus 7 recently, maybe in the future I'll root it.
