I personally like Chrome the best http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...loGIAw&usg=AFQjCNH15rvlo-p7MbD_On-MZgKF4dtXPg but overall I would say it's personal preference all the browsers have unique features, some are faster in benchmarks, some are slower in benchmarks but feel snappier try them out and see which one you like best. Another combination people like is Dolphin Browser http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...3IG4Ag&usg=AFQjCNGhebe32bfMAXehR3GT4w_eSP9ptQ plus the Jetpack addon http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...3IG4Ag&usg=AFQjCNE3xH4OmkgcDclyW75HGWSmqOWuEQ.

I personally like stock but chrome is quick and links to the one on my laptop...also dolphin browser!
I like Firefox Aurora the best. It's pretty fast, and I love how you can sync all your bookmarks with your other devices using them.

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

Dolphin, Chrome, Opera
I had never installed Dolphin, I tried it recently & i think is fast. Chrome is still heavy on resources for my Galaxy Grand where as Opera saves on bandwidth.

I've tried all the android browser's and in my opinion the fastest one is next browser. It also supports flash and as user agent so you can view HTML 5 without much fuss. Try it for yourself I think you'll be impressed. ?

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.
chrome is the best

For quick browsing on the go, you might want to check out the new browser "Lynx Browser(Free)" at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weejim.app.lynx
It does not load images by default and in addition, you can also turn off javascript for added speed boost.

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.

The best browser would be whatever you're looking for in one. Dolphin HD is a good one for customization. Though for me it gets a little laggy sometimes.
I still keep opera mini because its the fastest browser out there but it trades some features for pure speed.
I personally use the stock browser. I've tried every browser out there and I'm tired of not finding a good one. The stock is fast and simple.
I'm using CM7 btw.

Stock is the fastest and the browser with the best text reflow in my humble opinion.
Other adds features (multitab, extension, rss, etc) and most of them use the same engine as stock. But adding feature has a cost...

I prefer the stock browser.
Lmfao this is weird. Not only is opera mobile faster than the stock browser it's smoother too.

I use opera mini normally, really fast as it don't have flash.
When I need to use flash, I'll use opera mobile.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
Opera Mobile seems like the best. It has flash support, great visuals and smooth UI, and it's fast (+ it has Opera Turbo ).
You've asked a very opinionated question. It's like asking someone what the best soda is, or who makes the best cars. That said, however, I am a big fan of both Dolphin Browser and Miren Browser. Firefox mobile is nice, but it needs an option to flash support in my opinion. I do occasionally need flash so I usually just stick with those two. Opera and the stock browser are decent as well and are the favorites of many, as you can see here. Honestly, you need to give them all a try for a while(a day or two with each) to see what you think and choose the best from your personal experience.
Opera Mobile is my favourite.
You can check out a few more here.

That security and privacy stuff was only in Dolphin Browser HD.
I've used the stock for a really long time after trying out EVERY browser out there except Opera Mobile because I had the mini installed. But it turned out that the only one I hadn't installed was actually the best one.
Opera Mobile is fast as hell and smooth with the basic features you'll ever need. It doesn't get the credit it deserves. Its literally epic. You guys need to try it out. Displays everything quick and with desktop quality. Hands down the best out there you'll ever find.

It all depends on the device you got..for my Galaxy S 2..i like stock and sometimes Dolphin HD...
I like the full opera browser its pretty fast but it's quite a large app, just seems better than the mini version
I tried Opera Mobile and it's pretty slick. I think it's a good alternative to the stock browser.
Dolphin HD the best browser!!!!
I want to know what everyone uses for their internet browsing. I used to use Dolphin HD exclusively with my mt4g, but haven't really used any 3rd party browser yet on the Amaze.
Stock, Dolphin, Opera, Boat, etc...
Does anyone use multiple browsers to handle different tasks? Such as Dolphin for browsing and Opera for downloading?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I always found the scrolling on Opera to be the smoothest out of all the browsers I've tried, but Dolphin HD comes pretty close. I use the default browser that comes with the ROM as the default app to open web pages, but whenever I actually have a site to check (Engadget, 9gag, Lifehacker, etc...) I use Opera

I 2nd this post. And that is what made me decide to open this thread, because the stock browser does that as well, so I haven't been tempted to switch yet.
Opera I always found to be overrated with it's UI. I used to use it way back in my Crackberry days, but when Dolphin came out, I left it.
Skyfire was pretty darn good for my last device also, I just disliked the way it looked.
No votes for Boat Browser yet? Anyone tried it. Now that I'm back at work and not in bed ready to fall asleep, I'm gonna DL and try a few to compare.

I downloaded Boat, Boat Mini, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Maxthon, Opera Mini, Skyfire, UC Browser, and I obviously have stock. I will test and update my findings
Early update: UC browser and Maxthon don't even belong in the same discussion so I won't go on about them. They are just EXTREMELY slow. Unbearable.
I couldn't get the 2 Boat browsers or Opera Mini to display desktop view. Major buzzkill! With that being said, out of the strictly mobile browsers, Boat is noticeably faster than the rest. But I need desktop view.
Out of the desktop view browsers (dolphin, dolphin hd, and Skyfire, I was BLOWN AWAY by skyfire's UI and BLAZING speed. It was loading full Google pages and video streaming sites as fast as Dolphin was mobile views of sites, and significantly faster than Stock. Wow.

I would love to say that Opera browsers (mobile or mini) are the only browsers that is fully compatible with Blackboard, if you are a college student. I don't know, it may be some sort of support for javascript and java (runtime thingy is required to run blackboard in PC). With Opera you can load the files in blackboard rather seamlessly, and it was about last year I ran through all the browsers and Opera was the one that didn't fail. However, iphone's safari although stock by itself was able to run Blackboard much better than Opera. So should I try to f*ck Apple or ALL Android's 3rd party browsers (not forgetting Android's stock)?

Which one is the best in your opinion and why?
My personal favorite is Opera Mobile

Aurora by mozilla. It's super smooth and has no download issues.

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 :/

How about you install the Chrome browser, do a comparison and let us all know :silly:

Maybe try that as well?

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.
