So most certainly the aosp browser ioiwillioi includes in senseless is much better than HTC's crap slow browser but still isn't the best browsing experience possible. I've recently been trying several browsers out and so far firefox seems the best but not without issues as for some dumb reason mozilla decided when it went out of beta that it was for phones only. It works and shows up in the market but it's a bit wonky as its not tablet optimized. I've tried various browsers but can't find the right one:
Opera: They update the thing all the time and still ignore the issues it had had for ages such as that annoying splash screen, and no android user agent. Also text input is broke
X scope: Rendered things weird and didn't seem that fast.
Skyfire: slow, I uninstalled fast
Dolphin for tablets : won't even run without force closing
Dolphin hd: its okay, but still slower than stock
Maxthon: slow
So I keep coming back to firefox and the stock which seem to be the best. I've been tweaking the flyer for performance recently and I'm about there if I could just find the right Web browser I'd be good. Any pure gpu accelerated browsers I'm missing?

What about Google Chrome? I know it isn't available to download on the playstore from the tablet itself but maybe if we just try the latest version we can see how well it works?
chrome is not bad, its still pretty early in its life,. it does not do flash
Does Chrome even work on honeycomb? I use it on my phone and love it but as far as I knew it was ics and up only

Yeah,. Chrome doesn't work with Honeycomb or GB, I was running the ICS rom.
Yeah web browsing is what's killing me on this tablet, because lets face it, google did little to improve it till ICS.
I use dolphin mainly for the bookmark sync.
It is a little slow, but it tends to run quicker than the stock browser on my flyer...

fire fox is good for viewing and loading, but u will find trouble at the plug in stuffs, i use to open my fb in it it shows online chat bar and tikr and all nice and easy way to navigate and too i feel for a easy float and like desktop look float browser is good.. it opens like a desktop client and u can move the browser window where ever you want as like our desktop
Opera Next is awesome (Grey Icon) Smoothest / fastest browser iv'e used.
I find that Boat Browser works pretty good also. for sure going to be looking at Opera next and float browser.

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.
Dolphin Browser HD

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

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.
dolphin is my fav

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.

Just wondering what browser you all were using for your note? Stock browser is OK and I've tried dolphin browser but wasn't too impressed either....so what you guys running?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have always found Dolphin to handle flash the best. But my current favorite Browser is Opera Mobile. Actually, I use both Opera browsers. If I'm in an area with poor reception/bandwidth then I use Opera Mini. I have to warn you my opinion is very subjective and biased. I have been using Opera since way back in the days of windows mobile. I have tried the rest but always find myself back with Opera. I have been keeping an eye on firefox and it seems to be making some great strides but my impression is that it is not ready for prime time just yet. I'm rooted but still using the stock gingerbread Rom. If you are using an ics Rom and you don't mind giving up flash then you might be interested in Chrome which has a great feature set and is purported to be blazing fast. Either way, on gingerbread I find Opera to be the best overall browser for me. That said your mileage may vary subject to your personal taste.

I use opera for one big reason. Its probably got the best built in download manager I've seen on a mobile browser.

Running ICS in tablet mode and I've been using OverSkreen for a while with no complaints. I love having multiple, re-sizable browser windows available.

I keep Dolphin installed just in case I hit a wall with OverSkreen but thus far I haven't found a page it wouldn't load properly.
I use dolphin HD, used to use Opera on my old Nokia N95 but I didn't like the direction they were going with the look and feel so I tried Dolphin when I got my first android phone and I've been happy with it since.
Stock ICS and Boat on GB roms
I use Chrome. I don't need a bunch of features in a browser and it is quick and stable.
I liked to use maxthon browser on my evo, but I am definitely wondering if there is a better choice for this huge display.
Skyfire has a lot of features and its nice too.
In terms of pure speed, Chrome. Stock is not bad either.
For flash, Dolphin and Boat seems to be the fastest while Opera seems to struggle a bit compared to the aforementioned browsers.
I like the chrome beta. I would like it if they added some dolphin style tabs though.

Used xscope pro on my og evo for a long time, but it sorely needs an update.
I now use dolphin hd. It crashes often with multiple tabs open however.
Opera mobile and opera mini and boat are good alternatives.
On GB still so no chrome.
Firefox beta looks cool but takes forever to load pages.
Maxthon is ok but not in the same class as the above.
Skyfire is too bulky.
I use my note a ton to browse the interwebs and I regularly try different browsers out to find the best experience. However, as the previous poster said, browser preference is incredibly subjective.

I prefer chrome beta, its fast and very stable.
Galaxy Note
ICS+
Has a lot of nice customizations - seems to be less prone to FC's and integrates nicely with Chrome bookmarks.
In order of preference chrome, boat, opera. And overskreen for when I want a quick floating browser.
Chrome is just awesome since I've used it on desktop forever add its nice to easily sync. Boat is nice with its customizable menu. And opera is for when I hit a wall with the others. They're all decently speedy and lots of features.

I like Dolphin HD, it's the easiest browser to put into desktop mode and I hate mobile sites, so Dolphin HD's my browser. I like Chrome Beta a lot, but am very disappointed that the "Request Desktop" setting is not a system-wide or even permanent setting. It should be the default, I still have a desktop running 1024x768 and I think that if my phone supports 1280x800 it should not be restricted to crappy mobile sites.
I also want Firefox for Android to get better, haven't tested it in a while but the last time I used it (on my TouchPad before I got my Note) it still had major issues.

How about you install the Chrome browser, do a comparison and let us all know :silly:
I already did that. But I don´t know how to measure this. I want to decide which one will be the main browser.
I installed Dolphin HD browser yesterday and from my short time with it Ive decided its heaps better than the stock browser. Faster scrolling and page rendering and better access to bookmarks (swipe in from the side)
Maybe try that as well?

I use Dolphin HD and many do that. I think it is the best browser for ICS 2012 now a days.
I tested Chrome Beta vs Stock. Stock renders faster. Chrome crashed quite a bit too.

Chrome has a lots of potential but for me it stutters like hell. What do you guys think of the ICS+ browser? For me it's smooth as butter on the S3, so fast and flash loads in a fraction of a second. Only thing is when you double tap to zoom in an area it zooms somewhere else on the page but other than that it's flawless.
