After I've been using miren browser for the last year I need to find a new browser since miren was pulled from the market.
So far I haven't found any good replacements and was wondering about suggestions.
The one thing that is an absolute must have for me is the ability to flick back and forward through history. (I know that Dolphin allows you to use gestures, but I want this on all the time)
Things that would also be great, but not a deal breaker.
Lastpass support
Xmarks support
So what are your suggestions? The closest browser I have found was UC Browser
Maxthon Browser

Tried maxthon browser, but the addons kept on crashing.
Newest version of Miren if you dont have it was posted on a thread here
Tried dolphin browser which has long been my favourite due to desktop mode. But it's been very laggy and stuttering to use on my note 4,as compared to note 3. Can you please share what browser you prefer on the note 4 and why?
I have Dolphin for flash when I need flash,
other than that I use the touchwiz browser because it allows scrolling when hovering the spen at the top and bottom of the screen when chrome doesn't
Chrome has been fine for me. No problems whatsoever.

I'm using Firefox and it doesn't seem laggy. Am I wrong?
Chrome:
- reliable
- password sync
- tab sync (which I use a lot between my Android, desktop and ios devices)
- formats websites perfectly
EDIT: I actually run both Chrome and Chrome beta, each with separate google profiles, and it works wonderfully.
For me dolphin was all round the best. Sadly until they update it it's pretty much useless on note 4. I agree the default browser is best for browsing at the moment with no lag.
Firefox, because I can long-press on an image and share it to Hangouts without having to download the image.
Chrome is the best all round browser IMO

Dolphin had an update a few days ago and after updating and turning of java script under settings. It's usable now but had to turn of java script and also set flash to be on demand instead of on always.
I'm tired and just use Chrome. It syncs across all devices and home computers. And now that Amazon deemed android worthy of prime video I'm finally finding flash less important.

Opera Beta has text reflow when resizing and a menu along the bottom of the screen, which is good for one-handed operation of a phone with such a big screen.
What's the best browser for flash? I like to watch sports with adthe.net and can't find a browser that work

Thx i may return
I used to be on Dolphin but it's so laggy... Right now I'm using Chrome. They get you hooked because it's most likely your desktop/laptop/tablet browser and it syncs everything....
Opera Next.
Fast, reliable.
Chrome was slow on note 1. Yes it is faster on note 4. But opera is even faster.
Really need a browser that allows desktop view to load always, been using Dolphin but it has been annoying me as it has bugs. Firefox doesn't have tab view like in Chrome or Dolphin. Chrome doesn't have always desktop which is ridiculous as it came installed on my note 12.2, also it's bookmark area just sucks. UC browser HD doesn't work with SwiftKey as auto correct is non existent for some reason. I've tried others, all the popular ones and each one has some usage breaking quirk. I need a browser with desktop view and sync bookmarks and unfortunately I have been forced to use Dolphin for years as its the most complete package out of them all.
One that I've previously used was opera on my LG g2 and it was decent. Just at the time the sync feature was in future plans. Might try it again when I recieve my note 4

Prefer Samsung stock browser over all others as it is the most optimized browser with the device
Chrome isn't fast, efficient or feature-rich, but it still wins over every other browser for me because of the sync feature. I switch phones a lot and not always to Samsung devices, so it has to be Chrome. I also use Chrome on my PC and need to have my tabs and stuff all synced up for the work I do.

The sync is the only feature which currently keeps me using chrome on the PC (already switched back to default on the S6), otherwise the latest Chrome versions are resource hungry and laggy.
Chrome can't be used with a single hand since they made it a point to put the buttons to the farthest places possible. Why put the home button to left-up? Do you have something against people pressing that button?
The default browser however is very user friendly and fast. It's my choice.
chrome got better actually with updates but still not optimized for performance nor for battery life or memory usage.....i still use it for syncing ( bookmarks , passwords etc.. )
I don't use Chrome for one main reason, high battery usage. and I can't use Samsung Browser because I'm on Verizon. I use CM but would like to try another browser out
Javelin is pretty good!

I'm actually blown away by the stock Samsung browser. I was using Dolphin, but the stock browser has built-in adblock, full-page browsing and is faster than any other browser I've used. I honestly couldn't be happier with it.
I use chrome with chromer. Best combo available

Stock browser with adblock enabled is the best for me at the moment!
I'm on MM btw
Got a question can we sync google with the stock browser ie so I can use all my saved passwords/bookmarks.....?

What keeps me using the stock browser is the fingerprint authentication for passwords for websites. None better.

I think the reason it works so well is that it's dead simple, but everything it has works absolutely perfectly. Full screen, ad-free, blazing fast.
I think I mentioned this in another thread... what keeps me from using Samsung's browser is that it doesn't open new tabs in the background! Completely baffling.

It is, you're right. I actually use Flynx for that, with the Samsung browser as my secondary. It's a perfect combination.
Hello we spend most ofof our time using our phones to browse the net. I can't remember when last I used my laptop. Can we please share what browser we use and why. I have always used chrome Dev as it's easily since across my devices with regards to passwords and bookmarks. I also think that Google Chrome Dev is fast and really smooth. I would be very interestedinterested to hear thosethose who use the s6 with the stock Samsung browser and what attracts you to it thanks.
I use multiple combinations but 2 stand out from the others. Mozilla Firefox and Chrome re those. They both are browsers that sync passwords, bookmarks, and saved pages, but firefox does have a better security framework than chrome since firefox has been working on this track the longest. So in my opinion firefox is the best browser to ise.

Uc browser for the add blocker and speed.
Opera because I it has Opera Turbo, nice interface and good performance. Also, it syncs with my PC.
I use as few Google services as possible so no Chrome for me
I use #NoChromo, a modded Chrome, for the sake of ad block.
I use Firefox Aurora only (nightly)
I use the stock browser just for the fact i can use my fringerprint to log in to sites, no more forgotten passwords
It's not very fast but I use Dolphin Browser cos it has AdBlock and Flash support (you still need Flash to view some pages). I think it's the only browser that support that both features.
i use chrome and firefox, but chrome si a little bit faster. i use adaway to remove ads and banners (need root)
Next browser for its UI, is speed, and the way it handles tabs and translation. Also very swishy, built for swiping!
Stock Samsung browser for speed and stability.
Opera for reliability.
Firefox just because Firefox.

Chrome with AdAway
You have to be rooted for that though
As we know, current major web browser includes IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari as well as some ones else.
But for the official Android of our Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or Note 4, I wonder that what the default web browser is.
And where can we view version information of this default web browser?
Thanks in advance.
The Samsung web browser or the Android web browser .
Is there an About page for the default web browser?

Yes, it seems a web browser by Samsung according to the screenshots as below.
