Like the title says, i usually use Opera but its not working on the current ICS rom I'm using on my G2x, so in every ones eyes what's the best browser that supports Flash and HTML5 in your opinion and why, the current stock browser isn't cutting it for me.

Opera Mobile seems to be the best so far (at least). See here: http://pockethacks.com/opera-mobile-12-breaking-records-for-html5-content-processing-video/.

I use stock but I hear there's better. What's best browser for the atrix
Sent from Atrix ;-)
Dolphin Browser HD (spring for the license, or find it on the web). Some good add-ons for it too. Use desktop mode.
I really want to like Firefox Mobile, as I am a big Firefox fan, but the current beta just isn't all that. DolphinHD is pretty awesome for the Atrix.
Dolphin here as well. Faster and better than the sticker. I also have skyfire, but haven't played with it much. Used to use it on my iphone to play some flash videos.
Dolphin HD works slower than the Firefox beta for me.
I use Miren.

Dolphin HD. Also Opera Mini when only edge available.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
dolphin hd is slower than stock, but allows you to go to desktop sites by default if you configure it. No matter how many times you try, frequently the stock browser will not allow you to go to desktop sites.
The smoothest browser in terms of navigating a webpage is opera mobile 10 hands down (not mini). pinch to zoom is really smooth compared to any other android browser. too bad it doesn't work on the atrix yet and no flash support.

I like dolphin because it allows me to watch Hulu on my phone (after some slight modification of course). For general surfing and especially if you have a non-unlimited plan I would use Opera. It's faster and compresses stuff you have less data usage.

Agreed... I think a lot of people haven't tried/heard of it, but it's beyond solid.
I like dolphin mini or mobile. Works prefect and it's faster than stock and dolphin hd

Best Browser
I have tried them all except that miren one you guys are talking about, I will give it a shot however If you haven't tried Xscope 6 then your missing out. Ive been sing it for months now. Its great. Its very lite and fast. you have nothing to lose by trying it.
OK well I just installed Miren after i made this post and I gotta say its a fantastic browser, Ive only been using it for a few minutes so I cant say I like it better than Xscope yet but I will give it more time.
Miren is really good. Just checked it out, and it is perfect.
Currently using:
-Miren (Default)
-Opera Mini (when not on wifi/on edge)
-Dolphin HD (Only when I want to watch something on Hulu)
I'd been a fan of Xscope until Miren. Miren is at least as fast as Xscope and has a nicer UI, I think. It's a great browser.

Installed miren yesterday and today i uninstalled dolphin mini.
Everyone who recommended miren you guys rock. By far best browser I've used so far!

Weird, I just tried miren and I was very unimpressed. Far slower and nowhere near as smooth as dolplin HD (haven't tried mini)

Has anyone been able to load the Xoom stock browser or the Acer A500's browser on the nook color. If so, where can I find the apk?
These browsers are far better than the android mobile browser and all the market ones seem slow.
Thanks
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
The "Xoom browser" is the stock Honeycomb browser, and is available with any of the honeycomb roms in the development section.
This browser is not compatible with Cyanogenmod 7 (2.3.4) or Barnes and Noble's 1.2 update (2.2).
It is only compatible with Honeycomb (3.0+)
Thanks, yeah I'm running phiremod so I guess its a no go.
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
Try Opera Mobile, it's probably the fastest and smoothest Android browser out there.
For the tabbed browsing experience much like the Honeycomb browser, try the new version of Dolphin HD. It's also really fast and smooth.
Another vote for Dolphin HD. Its not as good as the honeycomb browser, but its pretty close.

I use Dolphin HD as well. It what way do you feel the HC browser is better (I ask because I really want to know, not to try and defend Dolphin in any way)? Also, isn't the HC browser basically Chrome?

The HC browser seemed a little quicker, but you're right that it's basically just chrome - or at least I would agree with that statement.

I think DHD and Opera are both horrible sloppy experiences in my opinion.
I long for the day either the NC can get a full on stable port of CM HC, or the browser can be ported.
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
I have been on dolphin for a while and have been looking to possibly change but I'm not sure where I want to go what is your opinion on android browser alternatives

I really like Maxthon. It definitely blows Firefox out of the water.
I ran Dolphin Mini for a very long time, and just tried experimenting with new ones. My current favorites are Ninesky and Maxthon.
Just got a nexus s and I don't really like the stock browsers speed. I was told to download opera mobile or Firefox, but I know that there are more browser than that. What is the best internet browser for android?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
The best browser would be whatever you're looking for in one. Dolphin HD is a good one for customization. Though for me it gets a little laggy sometimes.
I still keep opera mini because its the fastest browser out there but it trades some features for pure speed.
I personally use the stock browser. I've tried every browser out there and I'm tired of not finding a good one. The stock is fast and simple.
I'm using CM7 btw.

Stock is the best unfortunately. Save your time.

+ 1 for stock. No matter what I try I always revert to stock. It's simply the best for our devices.

Stock is the fastest and the browser with the best text reflow in my humble opinion.
Other adds features (multitab, extension, rss, etc) and most of them use the same engine as stock. But adding feature has a cost...
Regards.
I prefer the stock browser.
Lmfao this is weird. Not only is opera mobile faster than the stock browser it's smoother too.

I use opera mini normally, really fast as it don't have flash.
When I need to use flash, I'll use opera mobile.

Opera Mobile seems like the best. It has flash support, great visuals and smooth UI, and it's fast (+ it has Opera Turbo ).
You've asked a very opinionated question. It's like asking someone what the best soda is, or who makes the best cars. That said, however, I am a big fan of both Dolphin Browser and Miren Browser. Firefox mobile is nice, but it needs an option to flash support in my opinion. I do occasionally need flash so I usually just stick with those two. Opera and the stock browser are decent as well and are the favorites of many, as you can see here. Honestly, you need to give them all a try for a while(a day or two with each) to see what you think and choose the best from your personal experience.
Opera Mobile is my favourite.

That security and privacy stuff was only in Dolphin Browser HD.
I've used the stock for a really long time after trying out EVERY browser out there except Opera Mobile because I had the mini installed. But it turned out that the only one I hadn't installed was actually the best one.
Opera Mobile is fast as hell and smooth with the basic features you'll ever need. It doesn't get the credit it deserves. Its literally epic. You guys need to try it out. Displays everything quick and with desktop quality. Hands down the best out there you'll ever find.

It all depends on the device you got..for my Galaxy S 2..i like stock and sometimes Dolphin HD...
I like the full opera browser its pretty fast but it's quite a large app, just seems better than the mini version
I tried Opera Mobile and it's pretty slick. I think it's a good alternative to the stock browser.
Dolphin HD the best browser!!!!
