Between Opera and native one, I choose Opera. It's more speedy over EDGE or 3G. I haven't try Dolphin.
thank you my friend, i ll try those 3 and write a review soon
opera ftw the best and fastest browser

So, what do you guys think is the best web browser for the X10 mini??
Personally, i use Dolphin Browser, but i find that it's a bit slow sometimes.
What do you guys use and why?
Opera Mini
Or
Skyfire
I prefer Opera Mini 5.
i am still in doubt of which browser to use. normally i use opera on the street because i know it compresses content, which saves my 3g plan.
when at home, i normally use the native browser, though i think it is a bit slower than i 'd like. skyfire seems nice also, but the only feature that really attracts me to it currently is the flash video conversion thingy. if skyfire was able to compress data like opera, it would be perfect
for speed xscope (1.6 version)
how do you guys run dolphin? whenever i tap the screen the page zooms in, making it virtually unusable on the mini (and yes i did try the non hd edition).

I agree fully to this and this is the reason I uninstalled the app. Can anybody elaborate zooming?

Same thing for me, and would like to know why too, so if someone have an idea ... Thx
Was wondering if anyone is able to email xscope lite to me? Or redirect me to an external link? I'm not able to find it on the Market. Cheers.

Eh, dude, skyfire use compression data like Opera mini, in fact, from a brief survey, I say Skyfire is faster than Opera mini.
Opera mini is the best...
I actually use the stock browser, opera mini and skyfire depending on the pages I visit. Opera for general browsing, though for me a lot of times it doesn't handle signing into sites very well, which the stock browser does quite well. Skyfire for videos. Though I would really like all of them to stop asking to be made the default one.

Edit : Ouch, I was wondering where this comment went. This was supposed to go to the touch pal Dialer threat.
Anyway, since I'm here, what the heck. I'm using Xscope right now. Its interface is a lot better than others and it has pin to zoom which is the closet thing we get to one touch zoom in the album. But I'm also keeping skyfire around to fire up its video capability if I ever need to.
It depends on each persons personal needs. Nothing wrong in the stock browser , SE has done quite well in bringing out the best from donut

Can you even cut and paste in the stock browser?
I like the stock browser but there's just a few little annoying things that forces me to use other browsers from time to time.
If its something that I wanna cut&paste then ill use either my desktop or my other phone ! Browsing is not very easy thing on the mini's even if you have a different browser. Just not worth it. Screen size kills user experience

I use (used ) Opera Mobile 11.1 .
It's a great brower, with everything I could wish, but it seems unstable to me:
- Sometimes the standard-settings are deleted, so the phone asks to open links with browser a, browser b etc. again, although I have set Opera as standard.
- If I multitask (i.e. holding home button, pressing home button, selecting app from status bar), the browser sometimes shuts down, and when I restart Opera, not all tabs are restored. EDIT: same with standard browser.
- Browser needed reinstall several times, because it wouldn't start, freezes at "Opera Mobile" logo.
- Opera doesn't support cookies, so you have to log in every time again
Are there other people with this problem, or does anyone know how to solve it?
What will be the second best browser if I like Opera Mobile (not Opera Mini derp )?
I use standard ROM latest version on a Xperia Neo, non-rooted.
Im having trouble on the latest UK Rom fir the arc if I install any extra browser, but it only starts to happen once I set one as the default then all sorts of things happen black screens freezes keep having to uninstall the downloaded browsers have tried opera and a couple more. Back to standard browser again :-(

Use Dolphin Browser HD. It's top notch. I feel that it's better than Opera.

No problem with Opera 11 on Arc with 145 generic firmware.

opera mobile is my main browser (& that's all)
maybe have some glitches, but why i'm stay:
1. among fastest browser (i found maxhton is the fastest yet not most stable)
2. best text reflow (but not for photo/picture reflow)
3. easier multi tab management (easier to reach, tab at bottom, rather than dolphin on top & very small or stock that i think very long way to reach)
4. rightest download server application (expecially server that will popup when start downloading, like multi-upload etc)
5. very lightweight
my setup:
1. depend on website, i'm switching between mobile or desktop (mainly mobile, desktop as last resort)
2. flash on click (don't really need it, rather use proper apps)
3. navigation bar & status bar always on
4. single column view off
5. text wrapping on
when my best browsing experience on my lappy, i'm using my arc browser (opera of course) for ad hoc info, find some idea, download small size file (<50mb maybe, that needed by my arc, too lazy to plug in my arc to my lappy), before-bed browsing & other simple task. don't expect too much from 4" browsing experience, it will never replace real computer browsing experience. use proper application for exec task (like youtube, twitter, fb, email, vevo, stream radio, games etc)
Netfront browser works really well.
Better than most.
Plus it has some cool UI features and great looks.
Also fast and low on ram.
https://market.android.com/details?...roid.nflifebrowser.lite&feature=search_result
Opera (not mini) is the best for me, by far. It has great synchronization with my desktop, smoothest scrolling, good loading speeds, good multitab controls. The downside is it uses a lot of resources so you should have a latest generation 1GHz smartphone or dual core with at least 512MB Ram, preferably more when you want to multitask.

Is it more stable than Opera Mobile 11? Any cons?
& forgot to say what the biggest reason why i'm stick to opera mobile: link press/selection prediction are most true & auto zoom when more than 1 link pressed at the same time. other browser, either you're sniper, or really have small finger, or will doing much zoom in&out.
when not the most eye pleasure ui, opera just most matured browser that easier to use no matter what.
I have used both of them (Opera and Dolphin) for a few weeks, and I conclude:
- Dolphin is loaded with options and functions
- Opera has nice animations, is easier to use, but slower for large pages and faster and smoother for normal/small pages.
So I decided to make Dolphin my main browser, and use Opera for the quick browsing sessions. None of them is the best, though they're all way better than the stock browser.

Are you sure you use Opera MOBILE, not MINI? In mini there's a setting for image quality low/middle/high.

Try reinstalling if you have not done it already, or phone reset as a final step.
opera don't have latest interface from google (or youtube), but i found it usefull since i just want google as search engine, not really care what the appearence.
turn off opera turbo to high quality image (turn on will save some bandwidth-if you really care & save some time loading page).
turn off navigation bar to hiding lower bar (menu key to popup). but i personally turn on to fastest access to all function (tab, back, stop, refresh). maybe we can start customizing nav bar for better appearance?
since i'm not big fan of phone browsing (mainly on my lappy, i'm just using dedicated applications for specific purpose since they are optimize to the screen phone (eg: tapatalk, ym, fb, youtube, streaming radio, games etc). so far opera give rightest way to browse. i can rightly download from download server, better than other browser link selection prediction, best text reflow (better than stock), light & fast, tab management at bottom (tired with dolphin far top, small tab) - meeting my requirement to mobile browsing.

personally i don't know what is the real benefit of opera mini (i just found one, better graphics reflow). unless the connection really slow (30kbps?), use other browser. overall i feel opera mini slower than opera mobile, less function & less engine. downloading files also slower on mini (& many times end-up with error).
here on latest firmware it chrashes very soon
going to use another browser
Lets decide what launcher to use
No browser is smooth if you don't tweak the phone, it is a **** phone, no chance flash will work also.. only opera's are smooth on non rooted **** phones
Waiting for a tweaked browser specially for us
1. Boat Browser
I use it right now, very fast startup and great, maybe(sure) you will like it
Flash support, this is based on fastness, while not missing anything
Save Data starts here(if you still want to browse, others have crappy data savers)
___________________________________________
2. Opera Mobile
Very smooth, use this if you need no flash, but warning: Facebook sucks on it....
Downloads are the most reliable here, use this for long downloads
Java and flash lite go best with this one, but flash player won't work
Very slow startup!!!
3. Opera Mini
I am sure you heard of it...
You will get the fastest experience on 2G, with the crappiest image quality and the most smooth browsing ever
This is not a full one!!! You get the same quality as on 10 years grand-grand-parents-aged phones
______________________________________________(and here it ends...)
4. Dolphin HD
Absolutely awesome, but do not get it do background when downloads are "starting"...
I have a bug on it, made it useless, can't open any link...
5. Dolphin Mini
Fast start, cool UI, but, like any Mini browsers, I guarantee you will not have more than half of the screen usable...
6. Boat Mini
This is a "blue Dolphin Mini", the base of the Boat browser, but same half screen **** like Dolphin Mini... not optimized for small screens....
Probably a market search would be better than this... but they only say the good parts
More on the way
Suggestions are welcome

just like title says. make sure to update your opera mobile. great changelog and flash support for android 4.03 is back. Seems like the fastest browser around is back with full functionality again. flash video n movies working great on it.
I tried to love chrome, but opera right now is better for me. Smoother and it supports scrolling with the mouse.

its worth the revisit. still haven't used a browser faster than this. now that flash is working really well on it, this will become the fav. again. getting tired of stock or ICS+ browser FC. I have boat also. its a nice browser, ill admit.
Opera Next (beta) is not bad either
Had a look on the Opera site. Saw you could download Opera Next (beta).
I must say real smooth and not bad.
Will give it a try for a while
what is Opera Next beta? what are new features or difference from opera mobile on android? I might check it out.
edit: seems like its just a new opera mini. opera mini usually doesn't have flash support. I saw opera mini next. is that the one you talking about?

yes you're completely right
No flash

But smooth browsing
Really fast and good to get flash support.
And I think Opera Mobile is the only browser that you can use the little search button on XDA.
On other browsers the search box disappear when you try to enter text.. In Opera the search box works like on the computer.
Some sunspider results, lower is better

yeah, opera mobile always yells the fastest sunspider results. you see the screen flashing so fast on opera. on any other browser the test seems to take its time. plus I've gotten even faster time than you showed on opera before.
I had many freezes with the stock browser, I installed opera mobile and freezes no longer occur, this browser is very fast and fluid, is my favorite.
opera mobile needs the hardware acceleration and smoothness of opera mini next currently has. Opera mobile's scrolling is way too choppy in framerate.
digressing a little from the main topic... does Opera have adblock extension support for android?
not sure exactly what you mean. if you mean within the browser itself, not sure. haven't seen anything like that. But if rooted, you could just use AdAway and it'll block all ads period. works very well and speeds up browsers even more because it not loading flash ads.
Sorry, yeah, I meant extension for the browser itself. I tried AdAway, it works, but as soon as I add more hosts file (totalling roughly 8megs of hosts file), the app crashed with out of memory error (which surprised me because it works on my samsung galaxy s phone running CM7). So currently I am manually copying the hosts file from my linux to ATP's /system/etc; with just minor alterations to make - a little of a hassle.
Thanks for reply.
Op are you sure this update on Opera Mobile gives us flash.I looked at it last night but the update said nothing about flash.It did say something about having better support for the Samsung 7.7 or something.Another thing what is up with all the new permissions Opera wants now (being able to take video & pictures of what's on your phone)..they're getting a lot of complaints about it too.I love Opera but what gives?
Yes Opera Mobile 12 have working flash on ICS 4.0 DEVICE.
Maybe Iam late to the party but with Opera i can run a video in the browser and the open a second window and i continue to hear the audio from the video playing on the first window.

Opera mobile freezing after update
I have been lucky enough to have no problems until now with my Prime or the apps on it.
Unfortunately this update has made my Opera Mobile unusable. Within three minutes it freezes, usually after I've clicked on a link.
I've restarted the tablet to no avail. Will uninstall and reinstall Opera now.
Update: After reinstall the freezes continue, this time even sooner. Anyway, this problem along with their new permissions makes it an easy choice for me. I'm looking for something to replace it. Currently using Dolphin HD but keeping my options open.

don't really see how. its very stable and hasn't froze or rebooted on me once since update. alot better than stock or ICS+ browser. plus I'm on .15. nothing wrong with Dolphin HD if it works for you. that's what's great about choice of browsers to use. Opera still the fastest n most stable around. now with flash support back n better, this my main browser again.
