Opera was the best on the phone, but its tabled UI is a bit weird.
1) Resolution needs to be rescaled, because now its tiiiiny
2) And I really want tabs
But speed wise it is very good
QQ Browser or Boat Browser. The best two alternatives IMO.
Faster, more stable, and no early development bugs/glitches.

Same, nor do I see all the stuttering most people mention lol. Then again, I'm not browsing webpages most of the time on my N10 anyway
Firefox works great
Dolphin w/ Jetpack is my favorite...but Chrome is not giving me any issues either.
Gotta say the AOSP 4.2 browser is by far my favorite. Loving it!
how do i install 4.2 aosp browser on the n10?
edit: forget it, i got it.
if someone else needs it: here is a german description, just use the google translator but it should be self explanatory http://www.mobiflip.de/nexus-4-aosp-browser-aus-android-4-2-nachruesten-root/
I am using Firefox. With the add ons, I was able to get an ad blocker without having to root the device, and it so far has not complained on any sites with Flash content. It is very fast and well organized for tablet.

+1 for dolphin + jetpack
it scores higher than chrome on html5test.com

I'd say that boat browser is the best alternate browser.

Ocean browser really is the best. I was sold on Dolphin + JetPack before I tried Ocean, but Ocean really does beat it pretty handily.
It regularly gets under 800ms in Sunspider, is as smooth at scrolling/zooming as the iPad, supports flash, and doesn't have any of the weird glitches and quirks that Dolphin + Jetpack has. The only thing that's somewhat lacking is the GUI, which is a bit dated and ugly looking. I always keep it full screen though and just use the quick menu, which is beautiful.
Ocean browser is hands down the best imo. Went back and forth between that and dolphin for a while but ocean is way better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Dolphin HD #ftmfw
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.

Hi I love my nexus 10 and no im not returning it, But after seeing this video im quite upset withthe performance.Didnt want to root to keep this as my standard pure google experience device I may have to now. Also the video is right chrome does suck on it dolphin is a bit better opera is probably best.but still slight performance issues with pinch and zoom.I cant believe how they dropped the ball on this as 90 % of tablet use is web browsing (for most people).
Use Dolphin and their JetPack rendering engine add on. As smooth as smooth can be IMO.
Yes did I have used it since day 1
Still not as smooth as that surface tablet also everything is blown up I put settings at 50%
Its a bit better but still to zoomed in.
I did everything in that review on dolphin Tweaked settings and all.
Still sucks.(in comparison)

Try using Ocean Browser. It's as smooth as the iPad from my use.
Will try it .
Thanks!
so far opera is my winner.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know if they've changed, but opera wasn't built on WebKit, which means a lot of websites designed for android and iOS won't work correctly
I also had tried it in the past.I am not sure if it used webkit but I think not because I've been using it steady on The nexus and my note 2 both have been working well only issue I have is with flash but puffin browser seems to work for those sites.
Looked for ocean doesn't show up.I will continue to use opera as long as it works.

You can also quick scroll through the tabs by swiping from the edges of the screen left or right. This was there previously but the patch has made things much smoother.

The updated version still cannot wrap text to fit the viewing screen via double tap. This is something Dolphin, Boat, FF, and probably every browser out there ARE capable of.
Try ocean or boat browser. Personally I find ocean browser way better. Very fluid, smooth and has intuitive navigation. It is more like an upgraded Google default browser.

Meh, the interface looks like a hideous combination of iOS and Holo to my eyes. And aside from Chrome, Firefox and Opera, all the other browsers are shells for the native rendering engine so performance should be exactly the same, whether it's Dolphin, Boat, Ocean, etc.

Nope, Dolphin with JetPack uses it's own rendering engine and Ocean seems to use the AOSP rendering engine. That's the reason that both of these browsers feel so much smoother than any of the other ones.
Indeed, dolphin with jetpack does use its own rendering engine, that's why it scores super high on the html5test
Ocean works great but I like how it can be tweaked to give a full desktop experience.
I guess I will alternate between both for now.

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

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

It does not load images by default and in addition, you can also turn off javascript for added speed boost.
