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.
Thanks very much

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.

So since I've got my phone I've installed on 8 different browsers and still can't decide which one to use as my main one. So which browser do you use and why?
Dolphin mini because stock don't have a fast ua switch
Opera is the fastest but don't have a good configurable ua and there is no way to make it work at least for me btw opera is the fastest in all

Definitely the stock SGS II Browser for me. on my SGS I went with dolphin. But the SGS II browser is so much better. They've tidied it up and now can finally open 8 tabs very very stable and fast.
I'm loving the browser the most! + due to Samsung's Exynos chip my SGS II renders pages apx 1.5 times quicker than my sgs on the same wifi network
i dont understand how you can use a browser except stock browser.it is the fastest smoothest browser.no lag nothing.stock browser's amazing performance was the reason for me to buy SGS2.

only one i tried was opera mobile but i couldnt get the flash to work ?
And with the stock browser i tried acid3test and it scored 93/100 and opera got 100/100 lol i dont know.
Any browsers that get a 100/100 in acid3 and have full flash support, or am i just a noob and not know how to activate the flash on opera?
Miron or Stock work great
Miron used to be far better but not any more.

Two friends one who has a sgs and the other iphone were amazed @ my stock browsers speed. We were all on same wifi at my friends house.
Seriously it is SGSII's best feature.
I'm not forcing you to use it, just don't rule it out thinking it'll be just like sgs stock or android stock browser before installing your own. Have a try, with bookmarks and everything. You might change your mind ☆★☆★☆

Stock browser looks like its the only one hardware accelerated. Wish there was a way to find out more info about this.
I switch between Firefox mobile and Opera Mobile. I've never even heard of Dolphin, I'll have to give it a try now!
Firefox crashes pretty often, but I still find myself using it more than the others.
I've done the hundreds of tests and stock browser is the fastest
Too bad
there's not a user settings like desktop or ipad et cetera.
Unfortunately you're stuck with mobile version sites in many instances.

I'm using Dolphin because of this issue.
everytime i open the dam thing i have to type this in, frankly it sucks. if this was fixed i'd switch back to stock browser.
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.

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 browser is everyone using? Have you found anything faster than the stock browser?
I use Dolphin. Stock on my Transformer Prime though.

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.

Here is a review from August.
I use Dolphin HD
Sent from the Almighty Note!
I use Opera Mobile (not Opera Mini). Used it for years on WinMo, and installed it immediately when I found out the built-in browser can't identify as a desktop. Opera Mobile will.
After reading these recommendations I switched to Opera Mobile Browser and I'm glad I did. It has that nice blend of functionality, features, and looks.
DolphinHD hands down!
opera mobile
I have been using opera mobile since when they charged for it on windows mobile 5. After my diseased years (iPhone), when I switched to Android I was glad to see opera. Opera is the smoothest browser hands down I have tried every browser and always go back to opera in like one minute. I'm not sure what folks see in these other browsers. I am really curious about chrome for Android and can't wait till either we get I've or they make it for GB.

the stock browser on the note does this too, you just have to enable it in settings.
Stock Browser is best in my 2 cents. used Dolphin and Opera Mobile/Mini, but i think they are not as smooth as stock.
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.

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?
