I just started using dolphin browser and have found it to be far superior to the stock browser. Is it safe to remove the stock browser? Has anyone here done so with no problem?

Thanks for your help. The stock browser is like 9MB! And soooo lacking features and functions.
Thanks for posting that...I've been asking what was safe on a few different apk's....have you tried removing Google voice....or Google talk?

Only downside is that HTC's Flash Lite is only integrated in stock browser. Dolphin has an add-on to download flash video , but it is somewhat limited.
You can do a comparison of some of the flash sites from this page :

On 2nd thought I was wrong about this Flash DOES work in Dolphin !

I uninstalled Dolphin Browser HD. But there is still a folder called TunnyBrowser in myfiles. That folder is 6.2mb and contains 25folders and 407 files in it. Is it safe to delete that folder?
I have now switched to Opera
Galaxy S on Froyo JP6
It's safe to delete, I got rid of it.

Stock browser is okay and Dolphin HD had its benefits. But after using Opera for about a month it's unlikely I'll ever be using another browser. Opera is just awesome.

Easy just download the browser of your choice, go into the app drawer hit the menu button, switch the view to customizable grid and remove the stock browser and drag the browser of your choice. Then set it as your default.

fyi, sounds like you might not have known from your first post, but yes you can swap out ANY of the apps/shortcuts in your bottom bar EXCEPT the APP icon (brings up the app menu, then switches to home button)
marnel47 gave you brief instructions, i found a video on youtube of a guy changing it for the galaxy S, but same instructions apply for the galaxy S II, so after you get your new broswer installed, check out this video to change the icons out...

More specifically, replace the stock browser with Opera Mobile.

I'm trying to decide between Opera and Dolphin. Is there a favorite around here, especially with a powerfully phone like ours?
Both are fast browsers. opera is not quite as fully functional as dolphin, but may be a bit faster.
I prefer dolphin as I like fully functional full media browser, but for minimalists who place a high priority on lightweight and speed opera is best. Both browsers are faster at rendering pages than the stock browser. But opera uses a little less ram than dolphin, although we have plenty of ram available on our phone.

Dolphin is amazing. The plugins, ease if use, speed, all amazing.
One plugin let's you Swype right to left to access the plugin drawer, and then touch an icon to switch between desktop and mobile view.
Bookmark backup and sync with the stock browser, and across multiple Android devices.
Theme support, regular updates, and lots of plugins that do cool stuff.

Dolphin mini. Unless it's changed, dolphin hd was a little too busy for me. I was always making it swipe to bookmarks menu unintentionally, etc. Dolphin mini is very lightweight and speedy.

you can turn off the swiping settings for dolphin hd.
I use dolphin for full pages and stock for mobile (default browser).
Stock browser mostly. I have Opera Mobile installed. Only ever use Opera Mobile for a secondary Facebook account.. And I'm rarely in it. Opera Mobile always has javascript problems on many websites. Even pc Opera has jsp issues. I have used Dolphin HD. It's very nice but it has very poor memory management. It will consume a ginormous amount of RAM in no time. Don't get me wrong, I like Dolphin, but using over 118mb on a simple image search in Google.. lol. That's ridiculous. I hadn't even gotten around to opening a single image when it started slowing down. Needs a little work. Just my opinion. No gripes..
I like Xscope. It's faster than stock, faster even than Dolphin Mini. It has themes available, doesn't use massive amounts of memory, and just plain works with ease. It's easily in my top 5 best paid apps list.

I've tried Dolphin HD, Chrome, Opera, and the stock. I find myself switching around, but lately I've been using opera, I find it more finger "friendly". the other browser switching tabs is a pain with my fingers, with opera the layout much better.

Try this thread. Download and install the apk. It will not work in all browsers because they don't support it anymore, but you can find some older versions through Google search and use those. The thread has an older version of Dolphin listed for download.

Yes, flash is already installed. You will need to go to stock browser settings and enable.
I use Maxthon browser if i need to view flash websites. Doesn't work with Dolphin though.
