Hello there,
I'm willing to buy an asus transformer tablet and I need to know if there is any possibility to run internet explorer on it, cause I need it for my job and all other browsers aren't fully compatible with the online system of my company. Thanks in advance
I don't believe it will ever be possible at all to run Internet Explorer on Android, specifically because it's Internet Explorer. I don't think you'll ever see it happen, sorry.
I would like more chrome google for android, but I do not think it is possible
Unlikely, Internet Explorer as a Microsoft product is only made for Windows Vista+ (XP is no longer supported as of IE9) and Windows Phone/Zune at this point. The Mac version was last supported up to IE 5.2.3. You could always use a browser that lets you change the user agent. My college forces use to use IE to log into their site, however, I managed to get in with Midori (as a linux user).
As for the Transformer, I have one of those my self and love it. I just want Dolphin Tab to improve (note: Dolphin DOES support the ability to change your user agent.
You could also use splashtop HD to connect to a home computer running windows and use IE from there, I did that to run Windows Developer Preview.
chrome lite is good

In my experience when I have ran into this Firefox has been accepted as an alternative to IE, but I know it wouldn't work every time.

You will never get internet explorer on Android. Don't hold out for it.
You definitely can try using a browser that allows you to change the user agent, but be sure to test it on your current computer before buying android. Many IE-only websites won't display correctly (or at all) in other browsers, regardless of what the user agent is set to. Its unfortunately common.

I need to use a particular website for work which requires IE browser and the closest I've got is with Firefox and adding an add on called Phony. Although the formatting isn't the best and i can't view some menu items due to this. So really is a pain and not much good in the scheme of things.

Long story short.
IE on android? No, not going to happen.
IE on windows on android, maybe.

Well, in that case they need to switch, I mean IE is only used to download other browsers

I haven't tried this, but it should work
1.Download Dolphin Browser
2. go to Menu> More> Settings> Dolphin settings> User Agent>
3.click custom
4.enter
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0
or another useragent string(you can get them here: useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/)
What do you want IE?
Not available for android.
Chrome is better
Why are so many people asking WHY he wants it? Can you not read the OP? It clearly states other browsers don't work for his job.
OP, sorry to say, this probably will not come to fruition. =(
I really hate those websites that don't work on other browsers, except the worst browser I ever saw.

Yeah, it's easy for us to say that, but try convincing IT managers from nearly every medium/large corporation in America to switch to browsers made by smaller firms that can't offer the huge support base that MS has. Firefox would be the most viable alternative, but mozilla's already turned away large groups of potential users with their update methodology.

I've been forced to use two different browsers as Firefox seems to be the only browser that lets me access my schools site. Besides this use for firefox, I dont really like the browser. I love the dolphin browser but I can't access my schools site, even when I change the browser to desktop, or even any of the predefined modes. Any suggestions on a custom mode that would allow me to get onto my schools site? It would be nice to be able to use one browser for everything.... Thanks in advance.

You could try Miren or Opera (mini or full, whichever works for you).

Tried both and neither allow access to the site I need. I was hoping to try a custom mode in dolphin HD but I'm not really sure how to change that correctly, aside from the preloaded modes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Try. Going to the browser settings and clear cookies and cache. Then try downloading again.

I thought that the download tool from the standard browser is the problem because normally it isn't aloud by most of this sides to re-connect (I use another browser for such downloads like Firefox or Opera).
But i must wrong when I see that others didn't have here a problem

I know exactly what you are referring to, I had same issues here our devices won't be properly recognized at some sites on stock browser so clearing cashe or using alternative browser gets you around this. Also some sites will not allow access by proxy you would in fact have to use home IP or secured network.....I've downloaded alot straight to my flyer.

If that's true, then its a bummer, because this browser is otherwise pretty good. I hate to have to switch around.

This here, i tried xScope, Dolphin, Stock, and Skyfire, and the only browser to work consistently was Opera.
Also, on a side note, Opera is SO MUCH faster than any other android browser. Page scrolling is super smooth, and loads quick as hell. I was very surprised going to Opera on a whim to try it out.
Maybe its just me, but I don't see this as a big enough issue to drive my choice of browsers. If I have big files or lots of things to download I jump on my PC and drop them in my Dropbox so they are always there for my phones and tabs. Every browser has it quirks, even the desktops. The new browser in honeycomb is faster and has good integration with Chrome desktop. Coming soon will be Chrome for Android. It all depends on what creature features you like and are most comfortable with. I know it's annoying when you need something and it doesn't work but I don't do a lot of megaupload sharing from my tablet and when I have used it I haven't seen a problem with the stock browser.

It depends on your uses. For me, i usually use the tablet when my laptop is either doing something else, or out of reach, so i do everything on it. As such, alot of what i do, requires downloading from file hosting sites. You'd be surprised whats hosted on them
With that being said, downloading an apk on the laptop, then moving to dropbox and retrieving on tablet is a waste of time when it could take all of 30s to be done via the tablet to begin with.
The only thing that makes me hesitant to use a new browser is that i like how the stock one integrates with sense and all that. This is probably just me being petty, though.

Ive never used opera for file hosting sites but I do use firefox. I use to firefox nightly apks and it works like a charm. Firefox (fennic) is the best browser because it has the adblock plus. Also use auto pager if you use rlslog etc. Amazing.

Don't your find nightly sometimes cannot properly follow links from tapatalk and gives xml errors.
Anybody know a way to stop the default browser from redirecting to market whether I type it in or tap a link?
Tap http://www.speedtest.net to see what I mean. Running stock RAZR.

Use a browser that will allow you to change your user-agent and change your user agent to desktop.
(Not sure if the stock one does that)
I grabbed Opera Mobile and set it for desktop and it worked as expected. But would rather see the mobile sites sometimes. I guess google knows better than me what I want.

It's not Google, it's speedtest that's shutting you out of their site. Reminds me of forums that give you the annoying Tapatalk nag every time you bring up a page.
Some browsers have the "Request desktop site" option. This will take you to the actual page (most ICS browsers have it).
Done a search but nothing of relevance came up in these forums.
Just got my phone today and so far just using the stock browser which seems ok but undoubtedly there are better browsers out there, i always used X-Scope on my SGSII but im a bit tired of that now and looking for something else,i hear Chrome for ICS is supposed to be very good, so what browser is everyone using then?
Chrome is not that great on s3 yet, it lags and has touch delays..stock browser is undoubtedly the best browser I have tried . It gets the work done. Only thing I don't like is how you manage tabs . Try dolphin browser, should run as stock but with some enchanced features
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well the built in browser works really nice, but i personally like
firefox and that you can use addons like adblock and so that i value
a lot personally.
Though I don't currently have the S3 yet, I'll probably use Boat Browser. Easy to use and has been the best I have used for my tastes. It'll be the fist I install when I get my S3.
Dunno where you heard that Chrome 'lags', that's definately not the case. Alright, you don't have Flash. I always thought of it as a huge drawback but I haven't missed it a single time and I've been using Chrome for Android since the very beginning.
It has great tab management, staggering performance and a brilliant look. One of the best things about it is the integration with your desktop Chrome (and all other versions of Chrome you might be using.) Open tabs are synced in real time so let's just say you want to open a link from your phone on your desktop. no more mailing it around, now you can just click on it on your desktop. The bookmark sync is great too. And it's Chrome.

Use Chrome. Also install Flashify. In the rare instance you launch a site that needs flash, just click share, flashify, then select an alternative browser. The page you were browsing is then opened for you.

I didn't hear it, I experienced it. Visit www.aftonbladet.se with both stock browser and chrome. While stock handles the website like any other..chrome gets real messy. The touch response like 1-2 seconds after you started to pan. It's just me?

Stock browser works well here.
Before I used Dolphin, but there's a bug or something. When double tapping to zoom in on an area on the page it always zooms in to the left of the page (instead of the area you double tap)
Do more people experience this bug?
Dolphin Mini - best interface, not a ton of features
Dolphin HD - alright interface, just works
Opera Mobile - most like a PC, best comparability with websites that give trouble, has hardware acceleration, super smooth
Stock - smoothest, least features, and has problems downloading certain types of files, or downloading at all from hosting websites
Hello,
I just found a very unique and good Browser in my opinion which I wanted to share with you:
Its called UC browser Hd for tablets. The standard UC browser for Android is also good but the tablet version rocks on the Note 2.
I installed it on my Tablet and then transfered the apk file to my note 2, because playstore wont let you install the HD tablet version.
At first I thought: Too different takes too long to get used to. But after using for a short time I love it. And Flash is handled better than at Dolphin, Stock, Chrome, Firefox, in my opinion.
So, if your looking for a browser give it a try.
Greetings Richard

I agree browser is good but unfortunately I had to move to different one because in some cases I could not login to websites. Basically it didn't recognise my username and password which is odd. At the moment I use boat browser which is great as well. I also changed dpi to 260 for better visual experience. Btw. Dolphin browser drains the hell out of my battery.
