Just curious to see what browsers people are using on their Manta. Do you go for fast and stable browsers or ones that are feature rich?
I use UC Browser for Tablets myself I feel it has a good balance of speed and features.
I used chrome for a while but then I stitched to aosp browser and its a lot better. Faster smoother and it shows downloads whole chrome sometimes didn't.

You won't lose any features, and you also won't be able to turn off flash... You could just rename the file to .xml1 or something so it can't read it

They did but they turned it off when adobe stopped supporting new devices... It won't let you turn it on... Deleting the file above turns it on, I couldn't figure out what it is in the file that turns it off, so I just deleted the whole thing and it worked...
I use Firefox beta. Fast, reliable, synced with my desktop and my nexus 4 and, of course, with flash support :thumbup:
Boat Browser (paid version). I'm using it for ages on my Galaxy Note and now I'm using it on the Nexus 10 as well.
I'd like to switch to Firefox, but it is heavily lagging when scrolling slightly complex webpages (e. g. www.spiegel.de). So I'll wait for this to be fixed.

Same here as well. Using paid boat browser on my nexus 10 and S3 but would love to switch to Firefox but its so laggy on some heavy pages compare to boat thats so smooth.
Haven't tried Firefox beta yet though. But to be honest I dont think firefox even the beta version will come close to boat browser in terms of performance but UI wise I prefer Firefox because its very neat and clean.

Boat, because it has flash non rooted, and because it does "mouse over" well.
Xscope. But the only good thing about it is that I can swipe to go back and forth. It can do flash as well and rendering is not bad
i use aosp browser but i think and i use to lightning browser is faster
I am still not decided which browser to use on N10. I like bookmarks sync of Chrome but I do not like that it is not hiding tabs and address bar so it has not so much space to show web page contents. I like the way of automatic hiding of address bar of Boat browser but it does not work in full screen mode for some reason. On top of that there is no sync with Chrome bookmars. And last that I was trying is Dolphin with Jetpack. It can hide notification bar on top, it can somehow show and hide tab and address bar infull screen mode but it it not as userfriendly as Boat. It can also somehow sync with Chrome bookmarks. At the moment I tend to use Dolphin but still not fully satisfied with interface in fullscreen.
These are features that good browser should have in my opinion:
* two-way sync with chrome bookmarks
* possibility to hide top notification bar to optimize screen usage (fullscreen) - ideally also bottom bar
* easy usage of tab and address bar in full screen - some automatic showing/hiding as Boat can do in normal mode
* reasonable speed
I am affraid there is no browser with all those features
Oh, also Boat has Google Cloud Print add on FTW

Use Chrome Beta. It has a very smooth implementation of this feature as of about a week ago - you can't actually find it on the Play Store search, though. You have to use a link; there's one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
Also, I find Dolphin is the smoothest scrolling and panning of them all - also one of the fastest to load. But does anyone else find it inconsistent? I was using it on my Galaxy Nexus today, and the auto-fullscreen was glitching out when I panned horizontally. The page caching seems a bit odd, SOMETIMES clearing all my tabs and sometimes not (not like Chrome closes almost all of them - sometimes they save for a while sometimes not). Its a solid performer when it DOES perform, the best. But Chrome Beta, even though its a bit slower and doesn't scroll or pan NEARLY as fast, is quite consistent overall.
You just nailed it on why I finally stopped using Dolphin. That, and... Chrome BOokmark sync. My phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, work laptop, and work desktop (yes, I utilize all of the above :S) all have Chrome with my bookmarks on them. I use Chrome on all my devices now.
Also, Dolphin does weird things with Lotus Notes at work and I can't access it, even in Dolphin Mini
I use Chrome simply because being able to sync across many devices is awesome that alone is worth dealing with the crashing and other problems.
My biggest pet peeve.... despite so many people requesting it Google continues to remain thick headed about allowing us to enable Desktop Website by DEFAULT.
I hate having to check that box every time I open a new tab or click a link on one page that opens another window with the mobile version.

Thanks for your information. I have installed it but I haven't found any way to enable fullscreen. I was googling it and I have only found that this feature is for phones only. How did you activate it for tablet?
Dolphin is great but I since Swype doesn't want to auto space in URLs I had to switch away from it. Haven't really tried boat yet.
+1 for Dolphin. Love swiping the left to get bookmarks and right to get full screen. Great browser!

Firefox 4 was released for desktop and a mobile update was released today. I'm still messing around with it, but really liking the mobile stuff so far. I think I prefer chrome for desktop use, but may convert to firefox just for the mobile stuff.
You can set up a sync between the desktop and your phone so that you can immediately view tabs that are open on the desktop version. It's a lot like chrome to phone, but MUCH smoother/quicker in my experience. Chrome to phone always seemed to have a bit of a lag that made it annoying at times, so I'm definitely liking this so far.
At the very least, it's worth a try, even if you've used previous versions.
I like it, but still no flash support
Agreed, its double tap zooming is better than any other browser I've tried on Android.

They have also said they don't have a time frame of when/if they will add flash support...
Seems very odd to me. I like the fact I can sync the browser with my desktop but without flash support its almost useless.
Thats funny, I use optionshouse.com which is a flash based trading website (account needed) and it doesn't work in any browser but firefox...
Yeah, I just uninstalled it... feel let down, b/c Firefox is my go to on my pc. Mobile version bites though. After syncing all my bookmarks to DolphinHD & flash mod, I'll be sticking with that.
I'm a LastPass user, so Dolphin has been my only option, but I just saw they released an add-on for Firefox so I downloaded it to give it a try. I found Firefox supper buggy. It was laggy navigating menus and settings, and jittery when inputting text, (though seemed snappy enough loading web pages) and I had 2 FCs inside of 20 minutes... Is anyone else having similar problems? I'm running CM7 PB2.
On my N1, I've been happily using Miren browser for about a year now. So far, there is not a single browser that really is impressive on honeycomb - am I missing something?
Opera
pros - seems fastest so far (on most pages), quick scroll option, find on page works
cons - can't play flash?!, really struggles with blogspot in particular, but other random sites as well
Stock
pros - everything works
cons - it just works slowly
Firefox -
pros - the layout is wonderful, find on page works
cons - no quick scroll/bottom of page option, no flash?!, poor resolution(?)
Dolphin Browser
pros - nice layout, fast (close to opera), works on every site I use
cons - no fast scroll or find on page, gestures for side menus very sensitive, no navigation/tabs bar when you scroll down without pressing menu
Does this sum up everyone else's experience? Unfortunately, I have to use multiple browsers, depending on the websites I intend to go to. Dolphin is the closest to being the best for me, but I read blogs with extremely long comment pages making it absolutely non usable. For work, our website has a flash component taking Opera out as an every use player (and Firefox). Stock browser is significantly slower in my real world anecdotal evidence, so I really don't like it.
I've used Boat browser on my phone, but didn't really like it. Maybe I'll give that another go tonight.
I'm also looking for the best browser. Tried dolphin hd, Firefox, stock. My issue is that the flex t9 keyboard doesn't allow swype mode on nearly all browser url/ search bars. Don't know what the deal with that is. Firefox allows it, however.
Would like to see more feedback on this thread to help point me in the right direction.

Wow i'm glad you started this thread.I'm going to pick up mine tomorrow & for me browser performance is crucial to me.Has anyone tried Dolphin for Pad yet?
Also i have this posted everywhere but what will ICS do for the browser?I've seen the Tegra 3 videos on youtube where page rendering on Tegra 3 vs Tegra 2 was no competition at all.The pages were loading lightning fast.Is this what ICS brings? Is this the reason ASUS wanted the tablet to ship with ICS?
Have you tried Miren? I use it on my phone and I like it a lot.

Just FYI, the "find on page" option is in the extended menu under MENU > MORE. I really think they should make it more accessible. As for "Dolphin for pad" its still in beta and doesn't have all the features of DolphinHD, so I don't find it as useful.

It has issues with embedded YouTube videos on forum pages for one thing. Video is just black while sound plays.
i was hoping the stock was gonna be good enough since my acer a100 stock browser is pretty smooth. I feel like im using gtab with the browser. Even the Lenovo ideapad K1 was smoother than this. I'll have to try dolphin then.
I have heard that the stock one on ics will be much better, but isn't flash going to be unavailable in the ics browser?

Flash has already updated to support ICS.
In relation to Opera and Flash - it works perfectly on my Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note. Struggle to see why it wouldn't on the Prime. I presume you're on the latest version of the Flash Player? Perhaps try an older one if not, it may be that the ICS update broke some stuff elsewhere...
So far I have only used the stock browser and opera mobile. I like opera but I have yet to try it on Flash sites.
I am using the Google keyboard instead of the Asus keyboard and I can type a lot faster.
on edit: I just tested Flash on opera mobile and it worked like a charm.
Re: Opera not playing flash. Try going to southpark and playing an episode. Or go to watchseries.eu and follow any of their links to videozer, videobb, etc. I can click on flash, but then its just a black screen. Sometimes sounds starts to work, but mostly not. Its the same with my work site. Its a known problem that a quick google will show you.
New browser trials:
Dolphin
I found I can do bottom of page, switch tabs, access the search bar, etc. through gestures. Definitely not ideal, but makes it at least a passable single solution browser.
Boat Browser
pros - really fast, everything works
cons - no bottom of page/fast scroll, not a huge personal fan of bottom of the screen tool bars
Maxthon Pad (not the tampon...)
pros - fast, everything works
cons - no bottom of page/fast scroll, not a huge personal fan of bottom of the screen tool bars
Sleipner Mobile
pros - gesture use without having to select something to do gestures
cons - gesture use without having to select something to do gestures. My experience, they need to have a specific screen area where gestures work, otherwise you accidentally go forward, backward, switch tabs, etc. way too often
Miren browser doesn't work on honeycomb I'm guessing, because it doesn't show up in search results for it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome&rdid=com.android.chrome&rdot=1&pli=1
I'll try it out tonight when I get home.
Could someone check if extensions work? That would be awesome. (I'm still on 3.2 because I have TF101.)
edit: and how Google Docs work.
Not available in Ireland (Europe?) yet unfortunately!
Finally. Really hope that this will be a good browser that can take advantage of the hardware.
Was a little disappointed in how Primes browser speed and stability was with the stock browser.

It is a Beta, so it's pretty unstable, from what I've seen so far. Also, there is no way that I can see to change to use agent to Desktop, which is pretty annoying.
Yeah, I wish there was a way to access the desktop version of pages. Either way I have been waiting for this since I switched to android. Yes its beta but I can't wait to see where Google takes this. Sucks I can't get it on my Skyrocket where mobile view would be better suited.

Ok, I installed it and here are my first impressions:
Good
- Bookmarks and stuff are synced at first-run
- URL bar is QUICK at giving search results and URL results.
- Switching tabs is instantaneous
- When there's lots of links close together and you try and touch one, it'll pop-up a zoomed window so you can accurately tap the right link. Cool! (tried it on news.bbc.co.uk)
Bad
- Pages don't load super quick and panning while loading is jittery
-- Once they're loaded is pleasurably smooth.
---Sometimes when panning heavier pages (like engadget.com) it will take a couple seconds to load tiles, so you'll have white parts of page.
- No way to set User Agent (at least not from my few minutes of poking around)
- Can't play flash videos (tried on news.bbc.co.uk)
That's what I got so far. Gotta get back to work!
Someone try about:debug in the address bar and see if any additional options show up, just like in the stock browser.

I tried it, it keeps rerouting me to chrome://debug/, and then saying "this webpage is not available.
Won't use as default until someone discovers how to change the User agent, which I'm sure won't take long. Maybe Chrome Browser + will be released by the guy who made the ICS + browser? However, I love the tab interface, and it has been running very smooth for me thus far. It is indeed faster than the stock browser. At first scrolling can bug and make everything on the screen disappear, but eventually it scrolls very smoothly and fast. is silky smooth and hasn't been jittery or freezing for me yet, and omnibar is fast to populate.
Definitely a huge improvement! Love it!

Installed immediately. Was coming here to post about it, and 9 replied already. I love this community!
Agreed with everyone so far, it doesn't do Desktop for user agent, which is a PITA, but it should be figured out soon. Another CON I noticed is that I can't login to facebook for some reason.
I hate android's facebook app on the prime. It sucks. But when I enter my password, the page resets while entering a capital B. Shift B on the hardware keyboard seems to be refreshing the page, even in the password field. I can enter a capital "L", but my password doesn't contain any Ls
Heres a picture of the iPhone 4s browsermark score on iOS 5 and some other devices.
GNex ICS Stock Browser.
Now GNex on ICS with Chrome.
Asus TFP ICS Stock Browser.
Asus TFP ICS Chrome Browser.
We can see that on tegra 3 there isnt much of a improvement according to the benchmark. But on the GNex there were HUGE improvements.
I don't see any option to install Extensions??? "Sorry, your operating system is not supported just yet".
and no Flash
By far the most promising browser. I have tried just about all of them and they all have their good points. I know we have the user agent options in most browsers but to be honest i'd just like a desktop browser on the prime and forget about the mobile sites.
I use chrome all the time so if we can have chrome on android that's definitely the way I will go.

Chrome is not open source project. No1 will make version "+" of Chrome browser. Maybe in future google will release menu with browser agents.
No flash support - adobe said that will not release flash for chrome. Rest of browsers will be supported by adobe. http://www.androidcentral.com/new-browser-chrome-doesnt-support-dying-plug-flash

Just done a first impressions video on this. Ultra fast browser but obviously needs work on it as useless for tablets.

P.S. how do you embed videos? The youtube video button doesn't seem to work.
What browsers are you all using? Why do you like it. I was using stock for a while, and recently switched to opera, but i am finding it quirky and a little flaky.
Depends on what your needs are. If you want a quick, touch based interface, stick with Opera. The UI just got updated and it's a lot easier. It can also download through filehosts. Otherwise, if you're using an external mouse, try chrome beta or maxthon. They have small, hard to touch buttons, but the mouse makes it feel more natural. Chrome is still in beta though and it crashes rarely.
I don't like, on opera, how often when I click on the page, it zooms. I also had several posts that I did on facebook that showed up there, but when I used another browser they were not there. There are some other issues that don't come to mind now.

What UI elements did they change in Opera? I keep wanting to switch, but I utterly can't stand not having visible tabs on top.
Additionally, the stock browser and ICS+ have spoiled me beyond return with site specific desktop agent mode. I think that is my most critical feature at this point.
I really like Boat Browser. Very fast, simple but very configurable interface and options, stable, and supports Flash.

I like chrome but no flash support. Granted I don't need flash all that much so it it generally fine to use even with fingers. I don't know why someone said it has small buttons. If I need flash I just use the stock browser. I don't know why everyone insists on NOT using it. I like chrome because I can access my desktop bookmarks and that pretty much the only reason.

I've been using Boat browser, since it didn't crash that much, but have been lately switching back to ICS+ since I like the quick controls.
I've been using Boat Browser most of the time since it supports Flash, desktop mode works for most sites and I can easily adjust the fonts for my dang old eyes.
ICS Browser +
Only browser not to force close on me yet. Absolutely love it. Shame i cant use it on my phone which has gingerbread.
Maxthon Browser
I've been happy with Maxthon. Never heard of it until I ran across it in the app store. Redraws are very fast, autosizes to wide pages, has gestures, etc. Very few add-ons, but seems to do the job. I have version 1.5
Another vote for Boat, and I think I've tried all of them.
But the best is doing a remote desktop and using Firefox on Windows.
Since .13 update i am using stock browser. It is far more stable and pretty fine. I have chrome, Firefox, opera and dolphin inhaled. The second preferred is dolphin.
Had some keyboard issues with Chrome Beta, so sticking with the stock browser: seems stable.
Prefer the Chrome bookmarking though.
FG
Opera mobile used to be good but now it crashes all the time.I suggest Boat browser & Dolphin HD.
I kinda swap between Opera and Chrome although i will probably go straight to Chrome as soon as it's out of beta cause it's hella fast at the moment and will probably just get faster. The only thing I don't get is why they didn't release it earlier.
I use Opera if I want to 'chrome-to-phone' and download something, otherwise I use Chrome for everything else.
Mine right now is dolphin and Google chrome. Dolphin because 1# Im used to it. I am getting sick of it because it freezes and make wait sometimes. Chrome is very nice but flash does not work.
Tried Dolphin but there is no option to always show the tabs.
Currently I'm using Xscope, it always shows tabs, uses GPU acceleration and supports flash.
Overskreen
It works faster than stock/Chrome and the only thing it is missing is Find On Page. Give me that feature and I'll forever forget the other 2 browsers.
Opera, because its the only one without "wait" issues. if I need flash, I'll open the android default browser.

I've been using ICS Browser+, although I will say that I do get the "wait" issue from time to time... it's still a very smooth browser and I like the gestures ability. On top of that (literally), I use Overskreen when I want to wikipedia something I'm reading, or if I want to do a translation.
Boat is smooth for me, but only when the page is fully loaded. Opera Mobile is fast at rendering, but panning around the page gets that weird ghosting looking that hurts my eyes.

Look on the market for rotation locker, it's a pink icon in the shape of an L. When you launch it, it will give you a menu, long press landscape or portrait, and you shouldn't have issues.
It also has a tasker plugin which I use on my phone for FPSE to keep it landscape, then set back to auto when I exit FPSE.

Well, I have used the overskreen browser since yesterday afternoon. Got it set to full screen when it opens. I am very happy with it. It is fast and feel state of the art.
Chrome Beta i have zero issues with lag it syncs wiht my phone and desktop bookmarks and im pretty much signed in on all my fav spots. Can't wait for it to loose the beta tag
I'm pretty satisfied with the stock browser, in my testing chrome was sometimes much slower, I believe when browsing asus website about firmware updates.
also IIRC it doesn't have the cool "slider button" on the right side of the screen as the stock browser has, which allows to scrolly the whole page quickly.
