hello, im looking for the fastest internet browser for wildfire. can you help me ? which one do you use ? I dont care about the design, just speed . . thanks in advance
Opera mini is faster for lower data speeds as it hav severs to compress and send data to mobile browsers..but on fairly good data speed you could try xscope..
For me it's the stock Android Browser.
Opera Mini if you want pure speed.
Opera Mobile if you want better website rendering (JavaScript enabled) and speed.
I prefer Mobile myself, hate Mini.
I found Miren to work pretty well for me. It's got a few nice features too.
I prefer the stock browser.
I'm using Dolphin HD, simply because of the support for lastpass and xmarks. I just wish firefox supported the wildfire!
I'm using Dolphin HD..

Yes, and it works flawlessly.
opera opera and only opera
Unquestionably Dolphin Mini, a full featured browser with lots of goodies built In (like page capture, footprint tools, and lots more. Very easy to use, hardly any learning curve. Really its the only browser that feels like it belongs on your phone. Much better than Opera mini which is clunky compared,

Agreed.
Dolphin Mini is a bit like Google Chrome. My favourite desktop internet browser. So simple and fast.

I use Dolphin and it's so practical, has a lot of downloadable addons which most browsers don't have.

I'd prefer opera mini for speed and opera mobile also for speed, but mobile has just more opertunities.
mirren is just like google chrome on a phone( fast and small)
boat browser is the best for people that like the iphone browser.
Dolphin browsers are like the firefox for the wildfire we never had.
But like speed and nice design and the most stuff : opera mobile FTW
I use opera mobile 11 as it renders fast.huge improvement over v10

I used to use a Dolphin browser for internet browsing, but now I really like xScope browser that looks like standard Chrome and is pretty fast and more user friendly than Dolphin. Opera is good too, but sometimes it does not display pages as they really look.
Zirc is nice one: free, fast, no ads and has adblock.

Still sticking with opera mini altough there has been some unexpected FC's lately and problems with reflowing. In my opinion it's the fastest and easiest to use on wildfire. And I've tried Opera mobile, dolphin mini and hd, miren and last but not least stock browsers.

Even up to when i sold my HD2 ive been using X-Scope browser i have tried most of them from stock, Skyfire, Dolphin and Miren but X-Scope for me remains the best there is, im just curious to know which browser people use?
Cheers
most people use stock browser I do too
I am probably not helping - I guess you are asking only those of us who evaluated many browsers
I use dolphin and like it very well.
What is it you like about x-scope so much?

it's fast,faster than any other browser ive used on Android, ive never had a FC with it either whereas i have with some other browsers.
I use stock browser, it is simple and fast. On wifi it download whole webpage with blink of eye.
I do use firefox sometime as it is linked with my laptop/desktop's bookmarks and history.
I tend to use FF because of syncing with my PC but I dig Opera too. Haven't tried any others.

Miren. I have for quite awhile and I feel that it provides a consistent experience
Mainly dolphin but opera works quite well too. I find the stock browser too bland and basic.

Stock browser
on wi-fi, i use the stock browser, as it is fast, looks great and gives the desktop browser experience, but in my area i can only get edge and for mobile use i prefer opera mini, which with mobile view, pre-rendered and compressed pages and no flash gives you faster access to information while on a slow mobile network or while walking.
I prefer opera. Nice and fast and doesn't have trouble with file hosting websites etc which I've experienced with others for some reason .
Been trying out Opera Mobile recently, and find that it drains battery quite aggressively
Prefer the stock browser though... It seems faster than Opera!
Opera mobile for the best auto text reflow
Stock, no need to add more bloatware.
Dolphin Browser HD is good, swift and stable
What is the best browser ppl find for their phone? Firefox? Opera? Dolphin? Can you give a reason please?
Opera for slower networks.
Firefox is ok but huge in size.
Dolphin browser is a nice one. Very popular by the way.
XScope is one of my favorites. Very clean and fast
But the stock gingerbread browser is fantastic. My personal favorite since its made for the phone and firmware.

I like to roll with SkyFire.
I like Dolphin HD. Nice interface, good use of tabs, reliable, easy access to bookmarks etc.
I like Dolphin, to my opinion, it is fast, clean and gets easy-to-use interface
mozilla is getting better daily. that being said... i still use the stock browser. i find it the fastest...

I want to know what everyone uses for their internet browsing. I used to use Dolphin HD exclusively with my mt4g, but haven't really used any 3rd party browser yet on the Amaze.
Stock, Dolphin, Opera, Boat, etc...
Does anyone use multiple browsers to handle different tasks? Such as Dolphin for browsing and Opera for downloading?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I always found the scrolling on Opera to be the smoothest out of all the browsers I've tried, but Dolphin HD comes pretty close. I use the default browser that comes with the ROM as the default app to open web pages, but whenever I actually have a site to check (Engadget, 9gag, Lifehacker, etc...) I use Opera
skyfire '''''
+1 for dolphon HD, havent found ne thing i like better. Plus i hate "mobile-viewing" web sites and dolphin brings up pages in desktop mode perfectly

I 2nd this post. And that is what made me decide to open this thread, because the stock browser does that as well, so I haven't been tempted to switch yet.
Opera I always found to be overrated with it's UI. I used to use it way back in my Crackberry days, but when Dolphin came out, I left it.
Skyfire was pretty darn good for my last device also, I just disliked the way it looked.
No votes for Boat Browser yet? Anyone tried it. Now that I'm back at work and not in bed ready to fall asleep, I'm gonna DL and try a few to compare.

Not yet. I always saw the word Mini and just assumed it was for the devices with lesser capabilities. What do you like about it?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I downloaded Boat, Boat Mini, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Maxthon, Opera Mini, Skyfire, UC Browser, and I obviously have stock. I will test and update my findings
Early update: UC browser and Maxthon don't even belong in the same discussion so I won't go on about them. They are just EXTREMELY slow. Unbearable.
I couldn't get the 2 Boat browsers or Opera Mini to display desktop view. Major buzzkill! With that being said, out of the strictly mobile browsers, Boat is noticeably faster than the rest. But I need desktop view.
Out of the desktop view browsers (dolphin, dolphin hd, and Skyfire, I was BLOWN AWAY by skyfire's UI and BLAZING speed. It was loading full Google pages and video streaming sites as fast as Dolphin was mobile views of sites, and significantly faster than Stock. Wow.

I left FireFox off the list because I thought it was still in beta stages and isn't polished yet. Dolphin has more add ons than any mobile browser. Dolphin, imo, is the FireFox of mobile even with FireFox being mobile

I would love to say that Opera browsers (mobile or mini) are the only browsers that is fully compatible with Blackboard, if you are a college student. I don't know, it may be some sort of support for javascript and java (runtime thingy is required to run blackboard in PC). With Opera you can load the files in blackboard rather seamlessly, and it was about last year I ran through all the browsers and Opera was the one that didn't fail. However, iphone's safari although stock by itself was able to run Blackboard much better than Opera. So should I try to f*ck Apple or ALL Android's 3rd party browsers (not forgetting Android's stock)?

Nice nugget of info for all college students. Have you tried Dolphin with maybe the proper plug-ins (if any) or skyfire? I'm really digging that ome right now
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Ilike skyfire mostly because of the fact it can also play silverlight videos
I use stock most of the time, but like it was mentioned earlier, I use dolphin for desktop view. Just keep Android agent on one, desktop for the other.

Sleipnir is the best I've tried so far.
I have Nexus S and browsing can be a pain since it can be very lagging. I'm using dolphin right now and i can't see the huge difference in terms if smoothness between dolphin and stock. Can anybody recommend me fast, smooth and polished browser for anrroid? Thanks a ton!

If you have ICS on your Nexus S, I'd give the new Chrome Beta (Market Link) a try. It only works on ICS, but I have on it on my Galaxy Tab (with an ICS rom), and it's one of the fastest and most aesthetically pleasing browsers I've used. Not to mention it syncs tabs/favorites/etc. with your computer's Chrome.
It is in beta, but I've had no issues so far.
i have a nexus s too whit ics , all are the same for me but the best are boat mini or normal , chrome and dolphin
I sadly don't have ics... any other browsers?

have you tried Miren Browser ? I have a Milestone (Motorola A853) and it's the smoothest for my device. And works on Froyo/Ginger
I know for any of the browsers you end up with, you can test their speed with this...
peacekeeper.futuremark.com
It's a browser benchmark
Dolphin browser has been great in my experience. You could try Firefox if you haven't yet. With your phone I wouldn't think that lagging would be an issue unless a web page has lots of flash elements. You may want to enable plugin loading on demand to speed up page rendering.
Opera mobile (haven't tried chrome). Smoothest browser I've used by far (there's just no two finger dragging). Also has a nice and easy to use UI.
MX and Dolphin are also OK, scrolling smoothness wise, firefox is horrible.
Dolphin HD by far is the best browser IMO. Chrome for Android keeps draining battery for me by always staying active in the background.

I used to use Opera & Miren, and thought they were the best. Now I only use Boat Browser for my Droid X2.
Yeah I use Opera on my tab and phones.
Standard, Firefox and Dolphin browser just didn't want to work like it was supposed to on al 4 devices.
IMHO Boat Browser is by far the best browser...
Opera Mobile, smoothest I've tried
+1 for Opera here too
Boat browser gets my vote. FCs a lot less than Dolfpin

I tried a lot of browsers, but opera has both features and smoothness, so I'll be using opera for my default browser... thanks though!

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

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

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.
