My phone is XiaoMi.
I'm now using its own browser.
I want to browse some websites in desktop mode. It seems that this browser isn't equipped with this function.
What's more, the number of gestures are so limited.
I found the functions of this browser are so limited.
So I want a better browser which is more convenient.
Could u help me and give me some suggestions?
Thank you.
I don't really understand what you want but Opera is a super browser

Chrome
Have you tried Chrome?
You can request desktop site (it won't work 100% of the time because some websites just check the resolution of the screen).

Chrome is good at high end devices
On my current device is it working lovely
But on my S2 it's working badly
And i don't know if his phone is high end

Hmm yeah you're right D: lol
It works well on my current phone but it was horrible in my previous phone.
From the phone list here Xiaomi phones don't look like they're too bad.
He should still try chrome

I've used chrome, opera, maxthon, dolphin and boat and have now been using Boat Browser for acouple years one both my old Galaxy S1 stock froyo and CM10 as well as my current GS4 stock jb and have found it to be the best browser. My second to it was maxthon.
+1 for Chrome. Alternatively, you may want to check out the stock AOSP browser. I believe it can be installed from Play Store (with root).
Boat Browser 8 or even Boat Browser HD work very well
on my LG G2. Both are light and quick.
Boat browser is also a good alternative

Thank you for your suggestion. I've already downloaded Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox, now I'm trying all the three browsers. Do you have any comments on these three?

I've been using Firefox for a long time but switched to Chrome few days ago and I'm happy with it.
The support for gifs, overall bigger speed is worth it I think.

It is much smoother and faster than Chrome Beta.

create general.user agent.override and set to desktop seems to work
For user agent, use the extension Phony.
Also, Firefox supports Flash now, this alone makes it worth trying for me. I always used the stock browser instead of Chrome for that reason.
Locked up my phone first time I went to a webpage. Uninstalled.

Played with it earlier today. Uninstalled it. After you Chrome nothing else is as good.
I installed it after finding out about it earlier in the day. I have refused to use Firefox on my mobile devices due to shortcomings and mostly, lack of flash support. So far, I am generally pleased with this new BETA version. However, Dolphin Browser HD will continue to be my favorite. I don't even think I bother to use mobile Chrome. I'm generally not a fan of Chrome for the computer, either.
well im on gingerbread so no chrome love
trying this beta out now
I tried it out too, real smooth and fast and the swiping to the left or right of the screen to bring up tabs or settings is imo better than Dolphin HD (and it seems smoother than Dolphin as well).
I'm waiting for more updates though because simple things like forcing desktop mode or some kind of incognito mode are buried within the settings, this is one of the biggest reasons I use boat browser as my main browser it lets you put whatever buttons you want at the bottom of your page. Hopefully they add some of this functionality as Firefox is really fast. (And no chrome love for me either as I'm on rooted stock GB).

Way to dig up a dead thread. Now we'll be shooting zombies all #$(ing day.
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?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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...

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!
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.

Ocean Is only available for tablets, which may be why you didn't find it. After going through about 8 different browsers yesterday, ocean came out on top for me.

Btw guys an update for chrome was released yesterday and it's much better now. Way faster and hasn't crashed on me yet. I was using ocean browser since I got my n10 but have gone back to chrome.
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.

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.

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
Sent from my U8160 using xda premium
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.

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.

Personal ive tried and tested most browser benchmark... I was stuck with dolphin browser but after i download puffin browser... Darn its jus tooooooooo fast.... I recommend it... Give it a try ull be surprised... Its way fast on my tablet p6200
Hello,
I just found a very unique and good Browser in my opinion which I wanted to share with you:
Its called UC browser Hd for tablets. The standard UC browser for Android is also good but the tablet version rocks on the Note 2.
I installed it on my Tablet and then transfered the apk file to my note 2, because playstore wont let you install the HD tablet version.
At first I thought: Too different takes too long to get used to. But after using for a short time I love it. And Flash is handled better than at Dolphin, Stock, Chrome, Firefox, in my opinion.
So, if your looking for a browser give it a try.
Greetings Richard
