Ive found that my web keeps crashing randomly. Sometimes a web page will be loaded and im reading it, and then it randomly crashes. What can be done to fix this? Are there any other browsers you can suggest?
Dolphin HD is the best browser in my opinion. Lots of customization and even allows you to use gestures.

im with you bro..i deleted the build in one and i installed that one..i set it to desktop and all pages load fast and nice...thats the best i could recomend
Ive started using Dolphin but it seems its even more laggy than the regular stock web browser.
I've had my DX2 (rooted) for about a week now. Since rooting, I've gotten improvements in many of the oft-mentioned areas except for web browsing. Seems when I launch the default browser, it is slow to load the homepage (Google Search). If typing in a url, it seems equally as slow to resolve to the target page. Is anyone else experiencing these issues and is replacing the browser the eventual solve? I haven't yet tried FF or Dolphin, but would be willing to do so if that will speed things up. Or if there are other tweaks/tunes that will help, I'm open to trying them as well. Thanks so much in advance!
The stock browser for me was really laggy. I always use Dolphin HD, especially since it is the main browser I use on my Asus TF..Try it, or even Miren Browser, it's kinda fast too.
I don't like Firefox on my phone (or my laptop that much). It is always laggy and freezes on me.

Thanks, I will give that a try this evening and report back on the results!
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.

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.

Wow, Netfront looks nice, I like the tilt part, Dolphin is not animated enough. Let's try Netfront.

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
Very impressive browser, it uses hardware acceleration on ICS making it pretty much lag free. Also supports tabs, themes, flash, full screen, etc.
Currently its my default browser.
cool i've been using dolphin so far, will check out xscope
+1 xscope works great on TFP with ICS
It definitely is faster than the other browsers and i've tried quite a lot !
But i don't like the look of it... stock browser with hardware acceleration would be ideal for me !
I am trying it right now. VERY fast. Love the text reflow also.
Unfortunately, I got WAY to used to the quick controls on the stock browser, so the preferences bar and stuff just seem archaic. As long as im on a page, im happy, but once im moving to another tab or something, im wishing i was on another browser.
all in all, a positive experience, but can use a little work
Tip: if the UI of the browser is slow, make sure to turn off the animations in options.
Thanks for the heads up on this browser. I am liking it so far!
I use ICS browser+ it has all the good things from stock browser like HW acceleration and quick controls but is about 20 million times faster and no crashes
Too many browsers out there to compare already. Might eventually check it out. STOCK browser, opera mobile, and boat browser are the high performers for me now. I already have 5 different browsers constantly comparing..lol

I've had all of those installed and this browser is waaaay faster then any of them. I also love the feature of hitting the menu button to go full screen instantly.
Does Flash work properly in this browser? This is definitely a weakness in Opera...

Yes. Works perfect. By default it is on demand but I switched it to on so it auto loads all flash instantly
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.

Opera was my first browser until I found Boat which I've grown fond of. Thanks for the tip on the update. It looks like it is time to revisit Opera.

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
My mistake
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.
