What are peoples experiences with the various browers?? Any comment on whats most speedy and dependable??
3 unknown browsers that I enjoy using are Boat Browser Mini, Maxthon Browser, and Angel Browser.
I find that Boat Browser is very, very speedy, while Maxthon and Angel have really good custom navigation gestures.
finally one question where i know the answer . . . dolphin hd . . . and i've heard several good things about the chrome browser but i am not allowed to have it . . .

Hmm, I don't get many force closes with Maxthon. Although I'm not on amazon.com with a browser much either...
I use Dolphin Browser Mini 2.1.1 pretty much exclusively. Fast, light, stable, easy and intuitive. (I have no idea where I picked up the apk... that was a couple devices ago. If you want it, pm me, and I'll dropbox link it to you.)
Dolphin when I need LastPass, Chrome the rest of the time.

I use Dolphin Browser HD Versio 8.0.0 (the latest from Google Play). It really works well (CM7 SD card boot). I don't use any browser on the native NT side -- only read books from there.

Which is the best internet browser to you ? Thanks
Dolphin HD Browser
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why is that your Favorite ?
I just started using xScope Pro, and I have to say I prefer this over any other browsers I have used including Dolphin and Opera.
If you don't want to give xScope a try, I would say go with Dolphin as a second choice.
why is that one good ?
I use the stock version, and Opera Mobile the most.
Never got into Dolphin/HD that much, and used to love Skyfire until they starting charging for using flash. Latest updates made Skyfire more buggy too...

Stock.
And yes, I tried to use pretty much every browser on the market... and I always come back to stock.
I'm also using stock.
It's the best. Everything is working...
Opera Mobile has been the best imo. Tabbed browsing made easy..flash..option for Desktop so no more redirecting to mobile sites. IMO Opera is the fastest i've used. Stock tabbed browsing sucks imo..and Dolphin HD seems a little slow to me..almost bloated. I've also used Dolphin Mini for the odd site..
I quite like Dolphin HD. I started using it as back ages ago I didn't have flash running on my android tablet unless I used this browser. IT kind of became my first choice on my phone. I also like the interface, the speed, and the finger gesture browsing.

Because Dolphin is quicker than the original browser and it's easier to switch between tabs...
I use it since 2-3 months and I never had a force close !
For me it's really the best browser in the android Market

With CM7 PB2, dolphin hd and Miren foul up the flash for me. I have used opera mobile and the CM7 stock browser, and I can't come up with enough reasons not to use the stock one.

I like the "feel" of xScope. I have found it to be the smoothest and by far the fastest browser I have used. Has just the right amount of options without going into overkill, and for me the tabbed browsing works best with xScope Pro.
At the end of the day it is all down to personal preference. I kept going back to stock, then Dolphin, then back to stock, yadda yadda..............Haven't wanted to go back to stock since I installed this one.
I'm currently using Dolphin HD also. I like the easier access to the tabs at the top. The speed dial home of DHD is very handy and convienent. I'm not into gesturing in any bit but I'm sure other people would ultilize it more than me.
I tried the Opera mini one but didn't like the "scrunched" up look of it. The website/pages didn't look right or how it's suppose to be.
I like the stock browser.. tried out dolphin browser and ut was really cool but it didn't seem ti perform as well for me
After trying them all I stuck with Skyfire as the fastest with all round compatibility with sites I was viewing. Though with the latest OTA update I have found the stock browser is meeting all my needs, though I don't browse the web a huge amount from my phone.

The CM7 browser is IMO the BEST browser out of any browser. I love how you can change user agents to MAC or Linux machine. Not all websites let you go to desktop, for instance if you want to run the actual flash speedtest.net without being dragged to the app you can. There are tons of other websites I'm just not thinking of. Plus the incognito mode is awesome
So I just tried XScope and I believe I am liking it instead of Dolphin so far.

What browser do you guys suggest for ice cream roms? Every one i try seems laggy with gui issues. Is this related to 4.0 or what? Never had these issues with GB. I tried chrome but i see no fullscreen option.

I always use Chrome, but you might want to try Boat Browser or ICS Browser+
Chrome loads webpages really fast but no flash. If you are loading flash websites use stock or opera mobile.
Chrome for nearly everything and stock ICS browser for Flash sites.
Chrome or Opera.
Still finding Dolphin HD to be the best for me.
Chrome always runs in the background wiping battery.

The ICS+ browser is my favorite now. The quick thumb controls are the thing that do it for me. I use my phone for work, and the way it switches tabs is the best, as I have 3-4 open all the time.
Chrome is nice except for the lack of flash support and the paginated scrolling. Flash is junk anyways .
I love Chrome. I haven't used a standard browser in I don't know how long. I use Dolphin HD on my tablet, and forget about browsing the web on my work phone(the Xprt), Sprint sucks.
Dolphin gets it done for me. I hate the fact that chrome won't load flash. It's so damn fast.

+ 1 for Boat browser
depending on use I switch between boat,dolphin and opera
Dolphin HD, is the best browser I've used. It's better than Opera. There are websites I've found that opera doesn't loss that dolphin does. And It's fast. Been using it for years for the most part. I've tested a lot of different ones and dolphin always wins
Which one is the best in your opinion and why?
My personal favorite is Opera Mobile
Its fastest, best html5 compatibility, very easy to use, and most important unlimited bookmarks on start page
Aurora by mozilla. It's super smooth and has no download issues.
Dolphin browser

It looks promising but lacks a ton of features imo.
On my older ARMv6 phone I'd have said Dolphin Mini because it's fast and has a very streamlined usability imo.
On my EVO I'm happy with Opera Mobile, although it has some issues here and there.
I'm satisfied with miui stock browser but was a fan of dolphin hd/mini when I used Sense.

I'm an Opera man, desktop and mobile.
I'd say stock, used to flip back and forth from Dolphin (awesome browser) but kept on going back to the stock one.
But! Looks like Firefox FINALLY will be launching a browser fit enough to wear that brand in the near future. The Aurora build is amazing, super smooth and looks great, someone said it does not have enough features, it's still in test mode so hopefully when the beta comes out for it, it'll be more functional and loaded up with goodies
Chrome (for Android 4.0+ users) looks like another browser that'll come out good.
I've tried a few but end up always going back to Dolphin HD. Its quick,I like the layout and gestures plus I've personally never had any problems using it. I do use Firefox when other browsers (stock/dolphin) wont let me download certain files.
I think the best Google Chrome and Dolphin Browser HD

I like ICS stock browser and Chrome the best. Dolphin is good too, but one thing that always bothered me is that websites built for mobile phones that want you to swipe through screens don't work with Dolphin because you keep pulling up your side menus. If there is a setting or technique I'm missing there I'd like to know.
Boat browser for me. Can't believe someone hasn't mentioned that one yet :/

Chrome. It's seriously the best browser out there. It somehow manages to have every feature there is but look so simple and work so well.

+1, Chrome does it all. Its the fastest browser I've ever used for android and the syncing w/ my desktop chrome is epic
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.

I find Boat to be the most functional, lightest, and quickest.
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?

Text reflow is not needed if you do a proper configuration in the stock browser's Settings ~ Accessibility.

I personally like Chrome the best http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...loGIAw&usg=AFQjCNH15rvlo-p7MbD_On-MZgKF4dtXPg but overall I would say it's personal preference all the browsers have unique features, some are faster in benchmarks, some are slower in benchmarks but feel snappier try them out and see which one you like best. Another combination people like is Dolphin Browser http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...3IG4Ag&usg=AFQjCNGhebe32bfMAXehR3GT4w_eSP9ptQ plus the Jetpack addon http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...3IG4Ag&usg=AFQjCNE3xH4OmkgcDclyW75HGWSmqOWuEQ.

There are many variables involved in what the speed of a Browser is going to be on any given device, Not least of which is the Data Connection. Which plays a large part. That being said the same Browser, on the two of the same Devices, with two different Data Connections, will act differently.
Cant say which is the fastest...but personally prefer Dolphin Browser (and chrome for the sync features)
opera mini is very speedy however because of the fact the pages are loaded on a server it isnt very optimal for downloading and pages with javascript or flash player

Dolphin, Chrome, Opera
I had never installed Dolphin, I tried it recently & i think is fast. Chrome is still heavy on resources for my Galaxy Grand where as Opera saves on bandwidth.

Next requires intrusive privileges, and is created by "GO Dev Team" who have a poor privacy track record. It is the latest in a long line of garbage Android browsers: Dolphin, Boat, One, and most other Android browsers are all crapware.
Spying is not only an invasion of privacy, it wastes battery power, bandwidth, and CPU.
Opera Mini. Chrome can be pretty fast with the right tweaks as well.

I used Boat a lot because HTML5 videos would run very well. Now I found Baidu Browser and it's the fastest I've ever used. Despite having just 512 RAM, it doesn't even reload images on complex web pages when you scroll and loads completely other pages when opened in background.

For quick browsing on the go, you might want to check out the new browser "Lynx Browser(Free)" at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weejim.app.lynx
It does not load images by default and in addition, you can also turn off javascript for added speed boost.
