My brother just got this phone, and he's loving it! We've got CM6 up and running. Is the default browser the best one? Or is there another browser he should look at? I ask specific to this device, and not to android in general, due to the relatively small screen size.

I personally like Opera Mobile a lot, it works very well on my Mini and it has support for HTML5 videos, you should also get Skyfire for general flash video support.
I've found opera not to support multi-touch on my mini pro, dolphin mini or dolphin hd do though. +1 for skyfire

Skyfire 4 FTW, Dolphin Mini is not that bad either.
Skyfire is not compatible with X10 Mini Pro?
Skyfire is fully compatible, just using it. When you can't play videos on Skyfire4, uninstall it, download Skyfire 3, run Skyfire 3, uninstall Skyfire 3 and than install Skyfire 4 and you will get licence for watching videos

But don`t appears in market to download....
You will need to use the hacked market from the development forum as the market will not show skyfire due to our screen resolution, despite this skyfire runs beautifully.
You can download .apk file and install it manualy, just search for it.
i suggest you use skyfire too, works like a charm on the phone
Opera Mini 6 on my Xperia mini pro works great and supports dualtouch...
If you are on slow GPRS or EDGE connections than Opera Mini is the fastest among all the browsers that I have tried.
Miren browser comes close to opera mini in terms of performance on slow connections and has an option of clearing the cache and exiting so that the RAM memory can be reclaimed by the operating system.
So what exactly has to be done, to find Skyfire in the market?
I already tried "Market Enabler", but that one didn't do the job, and although I searched for it, I could not find the .apk to install it manually. I looked through the dev forum, but could not find a "hacked" market.
I am running MiniCM7-2.1.8 btw.

I am using Dolphin Mini Browser now, as it seems to be the best option for such "low end" mobile.
From what I read Opera is closed source and the traffic is "optimized" using their proxy servers, which means they can track & analyze all your steps in the web, which is nothing I would trust (as if one isn't already sharing enough data in the net). But to be honest, I don't really know the situation concerning the Dolphin company as well, so both may be in the same ship?
I haven't used the browser on the mobile much by now, so I can not really tell if it is the best option, but it will have to do for now.
Can anybody recommend a good open source browser for Android? On my PC I only use Firefox and Midori, but unfortunately those are not an option on the phone.
you should try uc browser works perft on my psp go
and on my iphone 3gs so it should work fine on xperia
by the way , whats that market called blackmarket ??
Ok opera it is fast and nice looking. But many pages not showing good. Thay are smashed. I lot travell in my country with buses. And when i need to open the page with timetravel table it is all smashed, evan id i unchack text warp. Also page of my university had view proble, with opera.
Because of that i use mini boat. Simple lookung but works nice.

This is an OLD Thread and for this reason decide to edit the topic and everything to be up to date.
New OPERA MINI 5 beta 2 is out, like a single cab and is native for WM devices.
All i can say for this...
ITS SUPERB FAST AND SMOOTH BROWSER i just love it.
For more info just visit www.opera.com
Check JZ SmartMort. Search for it at this forum.
Is there a signed version?
Yeah is there a signed version? Also, does it have a full download manager built in? And how is it better than Opera 10 beta?
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
it says
Download manager
Manage downloads right from the browser. Pause and resume downloads to suit your needs.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I guess there is a download manager
Just ran some tests on it. Its as fast as opera mobile 4.2 so I can gladly ditch that browswer. Opera 10 beta 2 is no were near as fast as mini 5 b2. Not really happy with the direction that one is going.
I have done some searching but there is nothing right now as far as shortcuts or default browser cabs. Must be to soon, so if anyone find anything post it here or a link to the thread.
Signed Opera 5 Beta 2 you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592551

Just create a cab... If someone want to test try it.

owilsky already answered that up above.
At the moment JZ SmartMort needs to be updated for Mini 5 Beta 2, but the author said he'll probably have that ready tonight.
So what are the differences between 10 for mobile and 5 mini?
Opera 5 is very similar but lighter on ram, also it uses the proxy server only... Opera Mobile can render the pages locally on the device.

I have installed opera mini 4 and i want to use it after installing opera mini 5 via cab? is this possible? with other cab installers of opera mini 5 opera mini 4 is not listed in java any longer!
thx for help
Just tried, much improved from beta 1 especially on the scrolling.
However kinda sluggish on TP2 using JBED. OM4.2 is *much* faster, so I'll stick to OM4.2 for now till OM5 can catch up with the speed.
I wouldn't recommend using your own SIP rather than the default one in Mini.... it becomes unstable if you use a regular SIP. You will still get freezes and sometimes you cannot exit the text entry window. If you use the crappy one provided by Opera then it works fine.
Is development for dolphin browser plugins open? Is there some kind of sdk I can download? I'm thinking of switching from opera mobile but I really miss speed dial and it probably wouldn't be too hard to cook up if it's possible.
And yea, I know there's already a dolphin speed dial app and it looks great, but my backflip is unrootable and stuck on 1.5, apparently this plugin doesn't work with the non hd version.

Opera 10 works fine for me with flash. you can also try http://www.uzard.com/en/main/main.asp. This is a server based browser, like Skyfire, which works fine but one must be aware of privacy issues with this type of surfing
I used to use Skyfire but i switched to xScope and absolutely love it. I wouldn't go back to anything else now. Dolphin is also very popular but i didn't like it so much.
hi there is xscope just for android or can it be used for winmo too ?

This new beta seems to have
1. Much lower memory footprint
2. Is much faster
3. Beautiful transitions!
3. Seems to work like a GPU accelerated app on Gingerbread!
which brings me to the question, is there any way a particular app can use GPU ui in Gingerbread. Not an NDK app, just a normal Dalvik-VM app.
Tested on GT-P1000
I was a fan of Dofin HD, then switched to Opera, a favorite, then switched back to the Fin HD since it seems to be lighter and faster.
I might give Opera another try and see how good it is.
But I definitely using stock WebBrowser when ICS released
Thanks OP

Give Opera Mini Next a try. It does have hardware acceleration says their press release though I don't understand how, on gingerbread.
Are there any hacks for it yet, like free 2g/3g internet?

You can get Opera Mobile which has the same UI as Opera Mini only the download is larger since it can download and render pages locally, and also includes flash compatibility. Opera Mobile also allows you to toggle turbo mode, I have mine set to be on turbo when on 3G and use the local presto engine when on wifi.

Anyone?10c
Hi
Can anyone help me regarding, the browser in the XperiaS rom.
When opening a website it redirects me to the mobi.*****.com website.
On other roms i have had it stay at www.****.com then i can have flashplayer working on the website and it looks the same as accessing it from a pc.
Do I need to load a different browser version.
I need this for playing video feeds from a website and the feeds are not available on the mobi version of the website.
EDIT: i beleive it is called desktop mode
that option should be integrated in the website itself, means u can switch from mobile to desktop version by clicking a link or a button. Otherwise, u can use opera mobile browser, i believe it supports full websites.
Edit: accidental post pls delete

Whilst on the subject just curious, what are the differences between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile? The mobile download size is much bigger but it doesn't seem to do anything differently??

The Opera mobile is a full web browser, means it handles full web pages (like the browsers on ur computer) and it plays flash content as well whilst opera mini can only download flash videos to ur phone. there must be other features that i can't recall or dunno about
