Does anyone have a good browser? I'm using Dolphin HD and it's utter crap. Page's don't show when loaded until I scroll or zoom. The back button works awfully on it. It's unresponsive. Anyhoo, any good browsers? Other than Opera & Skyfire because they're both crap too. Cheers.

From what i have used over years the only proper browser is Dolphin HD, even on my rubbish Chinese cheap tablet its much better than stock (slow), opera (issues with browsing no visible tabs to click), firefox (cant even download files properly). Maybe You have some problems with Your S2 firmware ? try updating manually to latest becouse "Page's don't show when loaded until I scroll or zoom" looks like memory leaks not becouse of the browser

Wich one is better and faster?
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?

Which one do you like using more? It can't be that difficult to answer.

Dolphin HD
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 doesn't support FLASH so sad but it's faster (for me). Anyone tried Dolphin on flash videos or .swf?
Chrome was considerably slower at scrolling and loading, I went back to stock.

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.

Chrome is a better desktop browser (in terms of speed if not plugin support), but the stock ICS browser destroys Chrome mobile right now. I haven't tried the other browsers because I have had no need to. I may have to try out Dolphin HD to compare to stock ICS browser though...
I use opera for fast browsing and stock for flash video etc

got the message to get the update to release of Chrome, now all I get is a "package file is invalid" message when I try to download it. The beta has gone and I have nothing! Any suggestions what to do? Is there an apk file I can download and install on my SG3?
im a fan of google chrome so ide go for google chrome, its faster but theres not flash on it yet
the new firefox seems to work well
Does dolphin browser support flash? anyone tried it yet?
Have to bump this thread - thoughts on this topic now? Stock seems more fluid, still!
I really dislike the default browser that comes with the s3.
Previous phones I have ran aosp browser and the miui browser. Both were much better imo.
Just curious as to what browser you guys are using and why.
Thanks guys.

Dolphin HD
Give it a try, and you'll see why.
Dolphin HD is fantastic. Chrome in my opinion is ever so slightly more fantastic. I have both installed but Chrome is my default.
Chrome
I'm still using the stock browser for now. I will be however looking into other ones in a few days!
Chrome.
Tab sync FTW. (just wish I could also close tabs on my other devices too).
Just yesterday I was "snooping" on my wife using Chrome on my PC while browsing reddit, and I was checking out the tabs she was opening... 2xychromosome?!
I have tried dolphin browser and I am not too crazy about it. Never tried chrome for android, might give that a go.

Dolphin HD for videos (flash support)
Chrome for general internet usage

I used to be a big fan of Skyfire but they haven't updated their support for ICS yet. They seemed to also be a bit on the slow side but I stuck with them from their Windows Mobile days (HD2). Now though I use the stock browser and it allows for a desktop mode. Its quick and I have none of the downloading display issues I was having with Skyfire.
UC Browser.
Stock browser. It seems to do everything I need a browser to do on my phone
Firefox beta

Chrome. I just wish i could get the widget to load thumbnails for the previews.
Browser plus
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted
Chrome .. teh best.
Chrome because I tie it up with my PC
I use chrome as my default and dolphin hd whenever I need to load a page in desktop mode that doesn't work with chrome.
Dolphin HD is what i have refereed on all other devices. Anyone have any reason this phone would be better with a diff browser than I'm used to? Thanks

Chrome if you use the google features. If you don't use Chrome on a PC or doesn't know what it offers, then Chrome isn't really useful for you.
Opera
I'm interested to know how Chrome fares on your single-core devices against the ICS stock browser? For me, Chrome feels rather heavy. Although I can't pinpoint it, I can feel the phone to be quite dragging whenever I'm using Chrome, whereas using the stock ICS browser hasn't given me any sign of slowness at all.
For mobile site ics browser...for desktop site chrome

opera mini, real fast n small. opera mobile, full desktop style browsing, pretty quick too
Chrome is very slow Xperia Mini, I use Dolphin Browser and it works OK.
Chrome at me strongly brakes. Use Opera Mobile/Dolphin Browser or Firefox
If u need to synchronize your browser you chrome but in lww it is very slow so I recommend using dolphin or opera mobile

I Would prefer using the stock ICS Browser dude..
Chrome is taking a lot of space on my Xperia Mini and its Real Heavy so i just toss it away from my XM :laugh:
Anyway I Use Any Browsers as long it can browse the internet :laugh:

I prefer to use stock browser over chrome...page load faster on stock while smootness is chrome....but try alternative browser like dolphin hd which is one of the best browser for android

Before I used the excellent Opera Mobile for auto text reflow and flash.
I test Chrome on Xperia Mini but since I found the app ICS browser+ I only use stock browser!:good:
I don't use opened tabs and I have all the same bookmarks sync plus auto text reflow, flash, and the very used extra quick controls.
I can't use Chrome because of this So I'm happy with stock browser for now...

So as far as I can see most people would suggest against usage of Chrome on single-core devices like our 2011 Xperia line of phones.
What browser do you use and why?
I use stock browser on GSIII
Stock.. the smoothest imo... google chrome looks sexier and has more features and is intuitive but has bugs...

On ics? Ics+browser hands down.

I use Dolphin! Love the gesture to open bookmarks.
I find this browser faster and better than stock and Chrome. Although I love how chrome syncs your bookmarks easily I hate having to tap a few times to access my bookmarks. With dolphin, I just swipe right and I get a list of my bookmarks.
I just don't like the feel of the stock browser. Lacks features in my opinion. I also use Dolphin on my iPad and can sync bookmarks between the devices.

XScope pro. Fast lightweight and has flash support. Also I like the fact that it opens links in background. Boat is a good alternative but it doesn't have that option.

Stock followed by Opera.

Chrome - its super fast, great tabbing, plays flash and syncs with Chrome on my PC so I get all my bookmarks - then they sync two way when edited. Tried loads of them - Baidu ( a company that is apparently china's answer to Google) browser looks really good but is in beta still with the language stuck in chinese.

Maxthon by far and away the best :good:
i'm using the stock browser.
chrome, only thing that's missing is full screen mode

Chrome has no flash support, only html5.
I like Firefox beta, pretty fast no fcs, eyecandy, sync,...
The only downside is it isn't really memory friendly.

Used Boat mini for ages, but stock JB browser has won me over.
quick ics browser for really enjoyable browsing, but for performance only- stock browser.
I used the stock browser for a long time but recently switched to Dolphin and I'm blown away by how fast it is, and the add ons are superb. Plus swiping side to side and gestures are icing on the cake.

For me the Best overall is maxthon.. Love the gestures add on
