[Q] Best Browser - XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps

Which Browser is for the X8 the Best?
1. Default Browser
2. Dolphin Browser
3. Opera Mini
4. Skyfire Browser
I use Dolphin and prefere it becouse of the add on. But i must say that i dont use many add ons probebly only one
So now i want to know which one is the best what is your opinion? and why?

Skyfire for me.

Default Browser +1

you can vote also and it would be helpful when you say why you prefere the default browser.
I just have a question to whom who use dolphin! when i use the back botton to exit they always ask to clean or minimize or close the browser! i would prefere closing without asking is this possible?

Its no problem to me just clear cache to clear memori

when it detects embedded flash it converts it to HTML5 and sends it to your phone.
when i tried it, some times it worked some times in failed depends on skyfires servers.

For me Opera Mini 6 for daily browsing especially Mippin.com and sometimes Opera Mobile 11.

you can find dolphin mini in market, it's free, and difference? it's liter version than normal dolphin, doesn't have annoying advanced options and toolbars that fill your whole screen, try it, and decide, and also have gesture feature, witch are very useful while browsing...
my second choice is skyfire because of semi-fake flash player

mmh skyfire detect a video in the web (flash) and open a skyfire player and you can watch the video, but have some bugs
sorry for my poor english jaja

how about xscope browser??
Sent from my X8 0.15 using XDA App

Definitely Opera Mobile 11, but for flash - Skyfire

Dolphin Browser (not mini nor hd)
Simple, fast, with tabs, tab preview, google bookmark sync and friendly as default browser with all its functionnality included.

for me , the best is native browser

Anyone else having trouble installing this?
when i look at the market i dont find it, and when i scan the QR code from skyfire homepage i dont find it either.
Also tried downloading the APK file from my phone but it fails telling me that the format is not supported in my phone.
Currently using a unrooted mini pro with SE default stock rom due im afraid of the stability of the aviable roms. (Absoulutly need a working and non-rebooting phone for my work.)
hi here is the apk cheers chris

You can watch live streaming !!!!!
Hi,
thanks for the app !
With this app, you can watch live streaming !
Yestersay, i have saw San Antonio - Memphis on streaming with my phone ( in 3G ) !
If you want to test :
go on myp2p or http://www.rojadirecta.es/.
For example, go to : http://www.rojadirecta.es/goto/play....gd/BZzvNC&autostart=true&stretching=exactfit.
On this page, click on Video ( ( down bar of skyfire ) the page may is white as if it's not loaded ).
Wait, and click on video who appears.
Watch your match
You may need video licence for that work, but the licence is free for 3 day.
It's time to test !
PS: If skyfire work only for google reach; click on icon half android / half screen of computer ( at right of the icon who open all tab ) and choose android.
Try again
Sorry for my bad English !
Hum, I tried this yesterday but gave up cuz on my mini pro the favorites button caused a FC, but since it appears to be able to playback video, I might just have to make this one my default browser

To have the favourites button work you need the stock browser (the stock one in the custom roms work as well) installed as well as it uses that somehow for your favourites and history etc

Ah ok, I see my deleting of the default browser (had no use for it) came back to bite me in the ass, cheers for the clear up
EDIT: Yeah, readding the default browser fixed it, cheers fellas.
Any way to turn the screen off during playback? I use some flash streaming audio, so dont need to see anything, and it eats battery. Also has anyone worked out how to tick the parental lock option in bbc iplayer?

Dolphin Browser HD Drains Battery Quickly And Uses Lot's Of Ram...As Galaxy Y Has Low Ram So Better Option Is Try "Opera Mini" Browser From Google Play..It's Really Fast ..Just Try It..
hey Madfrog91 the browser mentioned in my cmmnt are working perfectly on SGY as i am also using the same...
And i didn't knw much about battery draining and more RAM consumption by Dolphin browser!!!!!
So just use it, and experience it..........
Dolphin HD is head and shoulders about the rest. Especially with its new interface.

Try Opera Mini and Dolphine Mini Browser for fast and low memory usage
Dolphin browser hd or opera mobile these two are best for me
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
Opera mini rulez,its fast and looks good.
GREEEEEETZ!!!
also using Opera Mini for years on all my old and current cellphones. IMHO still the fastest and when it comes to 3g it doesnt consume much of my data plan
Finally i choose dolphine mini, its more from opera mini..
Thanks for information guys
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
I used opera mobile.
I test some browser but some prob with these
UCbrowser= smooth than others , but uses more ram and processing use that drains your battery, and sometime it get slower.
Dolphin hd/mini= the cool browser. But on my 2g network it is slower.
Maxthon = good speed but for the tabbed browsing it is not good as opera and ucbrowser.
About opera it is best for me it is fast with opera turbo it saves your bandwidth so you browse more with paying less
Best for tabbed browsing it load websites fast and also in background
so go for opera browser

ypu I too agree that opera is best but sometimes I face problem of getting stoped of my download and also it doesn't allow me to resume it...

Chrome vs ICS Browser with regards to performance?

I'm interested to know how Chrome fares on your single-core devices against the ICS stock browser? For me, Chrome feels rather heavy. Although I can't pinpoint it, I can feel the phone to be quite dragging whenever I'm using Chrome, whereas using the stock ICS browser hasn't given me any sign of slowness at all.
For mobile site ics browser...for desktop site chrome

opera mini, real fast n small. opera mobile, full desktop style browsing, pretty quick too
Chrome is very slow Xperia Mini, I use Dolphin Browser and it works OK.
Chrome at me strongly brakes. Use Opera Mobile/Dolphin Browser or Firefox
If u need to synchronize your browser you chrome but in lww it is very slow so I recommend using dolphin or opera mobile
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
I Would prefer using the stock ICS Browser dude..
Chrome is taking a lot of space on my Xperia Mini and its Real Heavy so i just toss it away from my XM :laugh:
Anyway I Use Any Browsers as long it can browse the internet :laugh:
chrome is still beta no flash support, im using stock browser and chrome,
I prefer to use stock browser over chrome...page load faster on stock while smootness is chrome....but try alternative browser like dolphin hd which is one of the best browser for android
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
Before I used the excellent Opera Mobile for auto text reflow and flash.
I test Chrome on Xperia Mini but since I found the app ICS browser+ I only use stock browser!:good:
I don't use opened tabs and I have all the same bookmarks sync plus auto text reflow, flash, and the very used extra quick controls.
I can't use Chrome because of this So I'm happy with stock browser for now...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789939
So as far as I can see most people would suggest against usage of Chrome on single-core devices like our 2011 Xperia line of phones.

Which Browser?

I am currently using the stock and the Opera mobile, looks like the former got too many bugs least of which is that can't locate my device for attachments and also doesn't show certain links.
On the other hand the Opera seems stopped supporting Adobe Flash player so no plug ins.
Any browser out there that can do all of this without problem?, thanks.

I find Boat to be the most functional, lightest, and quickest.
Before I just use Dolphin HD but now after all the Mobile and desktop bookmarks are sync I just go all the way Google Chrome
Using Maxthon browser for almost 8 months now, won't ever change it, it is the best browser for me, try it.
Maxthon,ok will give it a try,still couldnt find the perfect one..hope this one is better.
I tried Chrome, but for some reason it feels really laggy on the Note. It worked fine on SGS2 and GNex. So I'm just using stock, I hate the tab management but at least it works fine. Anyone have any browser with desktop/tablet style tabs?

With all their shortcomings I am back to using The Stock Browser and Opera Mobile these two seem to complement each other.

Any regular browser like chrome or firefox should work fine with streaming video. If you want to download streaming video use the torch browser, but for watching it, any of them should be fine.
If you are interested in streaming tv series, movies, etc... XBXMC is a great app for it!
It is free so google search it and install the downloaded apk.
Good luck!
