Anyone have the stock Amaze browser modified or a program to change the user agent?
Wanted something for testing connections.
Saw this article on modifying the browser, but I dont have the spare time yet to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265213
Thanks!
Go to your browser and type about:debug on your address bar and press enter. Then go to browser settings. You'll see the option to change user agents.
Awesome, perfectly what I needed.
Or..... Dl skyfire from market and just use the awesome ua button. No need to keep typing that crap over and over.
I'm sorry but htc browser is just complete garbage.
It's 5$ for the full version, well worth it imo.
Dolphin is cool but skyfire imo is just awesomeness.
I hit user agent ONCE did desktop view and I'm gtg, no need to retype.
Oh yeah.....

I disagree. Stock browser is the best browser. It gives you the full experience of a real(desktop)browser. No other third party browser is as great. Why have a 500 dollar smart phone when you're going to use mobile browser and load up mobile versions of the websites? I've tried other browsers, none give you a real web experience. And with the stock browser, you have the best of all world. Real desktop web browsing, mobile and different UA options.

I have never experienced bad lag with skyfire. Only time I have noticed lag is when signal is bad or weak. Never with WiFi or strong signal....
Maybe its your phone!!!!

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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
Xda app via atrix
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.

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

I use Opera Mobile, couldn't stand dolphin.
Dolphin was great in earlier android devices. But is horrible now. Stock browser works great.

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.
dolphin mini all the way
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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 Browsers really nice, it's a shame though that it's a hassle getting to the tabs.
btw. Can anyone find a 'history' option?

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.
I've tried both Firefox and Opera. Opera was much faster and stable for me. Firefox keeps freezing up on me. What's others experience?

I agree opera is fast, just wish it had plugin support.
i miss the way my Evo would resize the website to make it fit the screen. if i zoomed in, it would rearrange the layout again... is this on any 3rd party browser?
Opera seems to work the best for me. I never liked Dolphin so much.

I'm a fan of Boat Browser.
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.

Only reason I use Dolphin HD is for the extension support for lastpass and xmark. Chrome for android is amazing on my xoom, it doesn't support flash but no loss for me.

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.
Which do you like better?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Prefer Dolphin. But I don't use either because the only time I use the browser is to download ROMs. I use Faster Downloads from here.
I prefer Boat Browser actually, not once I had an issue with it. Plus It's fast & smooth.

stable, yes. Fast no.
Im starting to dislike Opera. When im viewing a page and scrolling left to right, it kinda gets sluggish toward the middle, then picks back up when almost to the right. Sorta annoying to me.
Well for me i tried opera didnt like it at all, didnt think it was really user freindly (no i havnt used it lately so i wouldnt know any changes) but ever since i tried dolphin ive been hooked really easy to use options are plain n simple and the cont. upgrade their features. They also have the ability to save your bookmarks to sd just in case u wipe or otherwise, just an overall good browser!!
I prefer to use the Dolphin browser. It makes browsing a breeze. Gestures is great too on it.
Opera is better on my opinion specially when downloading roms.

You're right. I have been using this browser for more than a year now and it's one of the best. I like it over chrome because I have never had a bug or forceclose with it and it supports Flash. Even though, I often use Dolphin, I always go back to Xscope when Dolphin starts acting up or when I had trouble with some contents.
How does it compare to Maxthon? Maxthon has been my preferred browser for some time now.

I used xscope on my blackjack and loved it. Thanks for sharing this, I'll have to check it out!
Used to use xscope on older devices, been around a long time. It's a very good wrapper around the stock browser as is dolphin and marathon, just remember they are just wrappers, you may like the added features, but they are all going to behave and perform nearly identical when it comes down to browsing because they all just wrap the stock browser.
As far as I know the browsers that have their own actual browser implementations are:
Firefox
Chrome
Opera
Skyfire
Chrome open tab sync is just too good to pass up for me...I use it literally everyday.
