Hi guys,
I know it's not a specific question about mate 10 but I noticed that chrome drains a lot of battery on my mate 10 pro.
So I would like to know which browser do you use.
I'm looking for a light browser without success.
Moreover some browsers xbrowser and via work good but after some time they didn't work properly anymore without explication... Did you experiment sames issues?
Don't try opera mini because I know it and it appears that interface is a bit old..
Cheers
I usually use chrome but I've heard good things about the Samsung browser.

Firefox with unlock or Samsung browser with adblock fast
Inviato dal mio BLA-L29 utilizzando Tapatalk
Trying actually Samsung internet and it seems very very good.
Thanks guys!!!
Opera, it's very practical.
The mobile version of firefox ... I hate it
I use Chrome for everyday browsing and the Samsung one for all my bookmarked stuff due to the built in Adblock feature
Samsung browser is very good in fact and very battery friendly compared to chrome.
Have been using the Samsung Internet Browser BETA because it is already patterned to One Ui. it also allows fingerprint log in even using a non-samsung phone. Enjoying it on my Mate 10. Battery efficiency, Ad-blocking feature, and most of all, DARK MODE for late night reading.
Been using kiwi browser since it can export/import bookmarks and is a fork of chrome which doesn't let me backup bookmarks.
But I am trying Samsung browser from link above. It isn't that bad, I will give it a shot for a few days and see if I want to permanently switch.
I use tenta browser for it's built-in vpn abilities too
Kiwi browser
On Pie there's performance mode that's OFF by default. I think Oreo it's ON (without switch), so Chrome uses 100% cpu when loading websites and that drains battery a lot more than 90%.
Try opera touch. This is one of the fastest and smoothest browser for mate 10
Im surprised nobody mentioned Microsoft Edge. The UI is clean and most importantly it has capability to block ads and remove the blank spaces of the removed ads so the page looks more unified and neater. I tried samsung browser it could block ads as well but it doesnt remove the blank spaces.
I use oh browser available on playstore and xda. Really the best.... Try it
I use edge! Many have problems to install just because it's from Microsoft, but the fact is that it is a top browser. Simple, clean, easy and fast.

yandex browser. on mobile and also on pc
Brave Browser. Based on Chromium very lightweight and doesn't consume a lot of battery. Has an integrated ad blocker.

I use Firefox on both desktop and mobile phone for years. No problems at all, very fast, plenty add-ons and customizations, sync of all data with all connected devices etc.

the link above doesn't work.
I'm very disapointed... Check out how it formats the pages, looks like crap compared to 9.5... I've tried many sites and they all look so much better in 9.5. I was really hoping they would have fixed this since the 9.7 beta...
The UI feels nothing new since I've been using Opera Mini 5 since it was released... This looks very much the same...
still no flash support.
support QVGA?

works well in elfin thanks
Doesn´t work on my Touch HD. It starts, but then it stopps saying on the top bar Opera Mobile 10 beta and i can´t press any button and no page is coming up. Thought it would make some autoconfiguration for the first time, but even after 5 minutes nothing happens. Ok it´s stil beta, but shouldn´t it at least start?
It's work fine on my hd!
At the first time you must start it from start menu, so it complete the setup process with the aknowledgement, after you can use from internet tab!
Someone use landscape mode, i didn't find it...
Bookmarks ?
Hello,
how can i import older Bookmark in Opera 10 ?
Rename the opera6.adr in anyone else or something?
Greetz

Sorry for my bad english...
Damn no flash support still up till now
Oh I thought they have flash support this time. but otherwise they have done a good job.
Am I the only one who thinks the official 9.7 beta was better???
It used the accelerometer on my Diamond and had really cool animation effects when tilting the device into landscape and other stuff....
Is there a way to enable accelerometer in Opera 10???
Also is this version not opengl accelerated like 9.7 was, besides the new "improved" UI I think this version is a step back from 9.7.
I don`t know some peoples already say about the new Opera 10 its nothing more than all other versions but i don`t think so.
1st when i install on my HD this beta i saw its much more faster than the 9.7 or 9.5 Also the view of the pages is much more better and clear and all the menus of the opera are just fast and awsome.
On the same time i just test for how long will load a page.
For example i choice a random page and i use Opera 9.5 then use Opera 10 for the same page in the same internet connection and i can say that this 10 BETA is minimum 3 times faster than the old Opera.
The Only bad things is that still not have a full Flash support but soon this will be fixed and then we will have a awsome fast beauty Browser for our devices
Maybe depends from ROM`s or....
If this matter im with NRG ROM from the signature.
I really don't like the single touch zooming, how annoying is that everytime I click a link it zoomes in and I have to zoom out again...
don't know if this is a good development, it is defenately quick, but it lacks in quite a few things.

Compare it to Opera mobile 9.5 and you will see that 9.5 shows the pages exactly as they look on the PC in overview mode... Opera 10 makes the sites look bad since it wraps the columns in overview before you've zoomed in. I can't stand using this browser until they've fixed this issue.
The turbo mode on 10 is a lot slower than the turbo mode in opera mini 5 beta. Very disappointed, as most times I don't care for perfect rendering...just want to be able to read what I want to read quickly.
I'll continue to use mini as my main browser, as it also uses a lot less memory. 10 is nice if I need to do some "real" web browsing though.
Is anyone else missing Opera link, it was great for Mini, but still not on 9.5-9.7-10, saw somewhere that it was not included on 9.7 as it was a beta, but if all they release is beta's then its never gonna happen (
...
Any way, how to set Zoom more then 200%? Google reader text quite small on my Diamond.
Hi, Where does opera 10 install itself. I would really like to try it out but i do not want it to touch any of my opera 9.5 files in any way.
Sometimes I feel like its just as bad as the stock web. But I do like the copy and paste in Dolphin HD.
The opera browser is smoother than the stock browser.
yeah dolphin sucks! i'm thinking of trying the firefox browser
yeah firefox is a good browser u should also take a look at skyfire great browser
Is there a google chrome one out yet?
I liked skyfire, but I dont like all those random buttons at the bottom of the screen. I wish there was a google chrome one
Have you tried dolphin mini?
Miren browser is the best one I've found.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Xscope is pretty good too. Seems to be nice and smooth for me.
Miren keeps opening up new tabs every time I open my web browser. I noticed I had like 12 tabs of the same screen :/

It helps if you mention which ROM you are using to recommend a good browser, I will report experiences running Froyo.uvka6.
I use 4 different browsers on my phone, each for specific purposes.
For most sites I use either Miren or Dolphin HD 2.3.0 (it's an old version but it's not laggy like 3.x & 4.x). Miren has copy paste too. When I want to view Flash-based sites I use Dolphin (standard, not HD):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mgeek.android.DolphinBrowser.Browser&feature=search_result
It's not as feature packed as HD or Mini but Flash videos play super smooth on this browser, probably due to low overhead.
Opera Mobile is kinda quirky, some sites still won't dislay properly (just like the desktop version) and flash support is limited to ads. There is one feature in that Opera Mobile surpasses all android browsers: The ability to download from file hosting sites such as filesonic, fileserve, mediafire, etc. that simply won't work with other android browsers. It's why I keep it on my phone, when I need to download Opera Mobile is the man!
I'm not a big fan of proxy-based browsers such as Skyfire or Opera Mini. My biggest beef with Skyfire is on certain sites like ESPN.COM you can't choose which video to play, it will only play the first video on that site!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!! I don't like the GUI either. Skyfire is worthless if you are running Android 2.2 or higher since flash is built-in. If you are running Android 2.1 or lower and want flash then your only choice is Skyfire.
Firefox is currently RC but sloowww and no flash support but so far the only android browser to support scrollbars.
There are a few others out there (xScope, Maxthon, UCWEB, Infinity, Boat). I'm going to give the same advice I always give. Try them all and decide which one you like best. All browsers have their pros and cons but it all comes down to personal preference.

That never happened to me but I did experience a few force closes with the latest builds so I went back to 6.0.5. It takes longer to load but is more stable than new builds.
I really love the opera mobile browser, its pretty smooth and faster than stock.
Lifehacker did a comparison of some mobile browsers recently:
http: // lifehacker. com / #!5785273 / android-faceoff-which-browser-wins-out-on-speed-features-and-usability
(Can't post outside links yet, just remove the spaces)
I like Miren Browser.
How do you feel about Lumias IE browser? Do you find it good enough or do you use something else?
Mobile IE is fantastic to be honest.
Yep it works very well for me. I developed a mobile site recently and it looks loads better on the Lumia than iOS/Android for the simple reason that the address bar is at the bottom of the screen, not the top. That was a really smart move by MS
I find that IE works very well. There are other browsers on the market but they are all really the same since they are based on the IE browser only other features/functions added. I've found the standard browser to be smoothest of them all though in operation.
IE Mobile is great!
IE is mostly great.
facebook touch doesn't work
facebook full site (facebook.com/home.php) doesn't work with timeline loading, so I only have the lite mobile facebook - I manage a lot of pages.
Are there any WebKit or Gecko based browsers?
I've tried Chromium beta and it doesn't load the timeline either.

That's because it's not actually Chromium, it's still IE.
Hi,
I like working on the website Codeacademy.com, and would love to do so on my android tablet (kindle HD), or even my phone (razr HD). However, every browser I've tried has had a terrible time with this website: browsers love to zoom in too closely when I start typing, they have trouble scolling in a text window within the main window, etc. (just try it, you'll see what I mean).
Does anyone have any suggestions for a browser that would fare better? Or perhaps dolphin has an add-on that would mitigate the problems? I have trouble believing that I'm the only one who likes to use this popular website on an android device.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: The kindle is restricted in its browsers by default, but I haven't had any trouble downloading apks and sideloading, so that's not a limitation to worry about.
Me too
I am looking for it too. It would be awesome if codecademy made an android app for its exercises

Agreed-- though I feel like they shouldn't have to! This website isn't doing anything particularly advanced--it's just a text box to type in--and I feel like one of the myriad android browsers should be able to handle it. Especially since each one has a different unique problem with the website.
Okay, looks like Maxthon browser works tolerably well. Good browser overall, actually.
Jwdink,
Good to know Maxthon worked for you. I tested many, including Maxthon, and I always get the same problem.
When I click on the box to type, and try to move it up or down, everything goes white and I have to find the box again...
I tested with chrome, opera, firefox, dolphin, dolphin beta, and others less known browsers, and always the same problem happens
Now I'm gonna test with firefox beta..
I emailed codecademy some days ago concerning this matter but got no answer
Did you notice the site doesn't have a mobile version? Maybe if they can create one, it could fix the problem

Maxthon didn't fare to well for this task on my rooted Kindle Fire running Gingerbread .......I sometimes have success with the latest release of Firefox (not the nightly edition) but many times will have to refresh the page to get the coding input box to respond "halfway" normal.
Even on my Windows 7 laptop the site has issues and I've tried IE9 and the latest Chrome. Maybe I'll try Firefox on the laptop today. On the tablet I find myself reading the tutorial from the website on whatever browser I'm using but will not try to implement the code there. I'll just open up my good old text editor and code there using what I learned on the site and then run the code on "x" interpreter (in my case the Python) and it's much easier to do it that way.
When I have the lesson running correctly I will return to the website and "attempt" to complete it on there either possibly with Android Firefox or on the PC so it will keep track of my progress. Otherwise I would get WAY to frustrated trying to get every little step to run in the browser's input box!
And yes, a dedicated app for this website would be ideal

Please, I am a codecademy student and want to ask if you have any recomendation for a good way of using the site on android devices, because it is very difficult to do the exercises on the browsers for android.
For me, and others users, like this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073107
and, I believe, many others students, it would be very very useful if you could make a codecademy app for android, where we could do the exercises.

I don't think its very effective to work on codeacademy from your tablet especially if you aren't using a real keyboard. Codecademy has problems with browsers in osx and windows and I can't imagine how it would work on a tablet which browsers that do much less. Codecademy gives me issues everytime I use it, some courses are sometimes impossible to complete unless codecademy themselves fixes them. Python last summer was uncompletable due to weird errors which tooks weeks to fix.
Also, something you should be doing is after you complete courses, go make something with your newly gained knowledge. I can go through every single course in there and might not have a full understanding without actually making something, plus, you have to get used to dealing with the unexpected because everytime you code, theres going to be some problem. You can't code much things comfortably in Android either, at least I haven't been able to.
Try using ucbrowser.
I've tried Firefox, dolphin, boat and maxthon but for me uc browser works best. I'm talking about web browsing in general, uc browser is my pick for mobile web browsing. I've never visited code academy on ucbrowser though. Give it a shot

Foxfire & disable autocorrect/autocomplete
To use codecademy on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (n8013) tablet I used Foxfire (stable or beta) browser and I disabled the keyboard's autocorrection/autofill/autocapitalization functionalities.
Tested but couldn't use stock browser, Chrome, Dolphin and Opera. Tested but couldn't use Swype keyboard and Google downloadable keyboard. Something weird happens connected to the shift key.
Should say my Samsung's running stock (Cyanagenmod) Android 4.2.2, no bloatware. Don't know if that matters or not.
Espier Browser
Have you tried Espier Browser? I just tried it and I could resolve 2 python exercices successfully

Hey,
Im trying to use codecademy and khanacademy.org but im using a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet (stock rom). Ive tried UC browser as well as many others (chrome, naked, firefox, dolphin, maxthon, boat, maybe more) with no luck. Code isnt selectable or pastable, and sometimes i cant even delete.
I dont have access to a computer at the moment and would really like to take advantage of the interactive tutorials on those sites. I even bought a mouse thinking it would make text selection easy but i now realise android mouse support is lame and just emulates a finger.
If anyone has any solution for this, please let me know.

Hello jwdink,
Thank you for asking this question almost two years ago. Like you, I recently stumbled across the delimma of learning to code at codeacademy.com with my nextbook tablet device.
The solution that works perfectly for me is to request the desktop version of the web browser.
A quick review of the steps involved (Recent Google chrome at time of writing):
Click the menu button
Select "Request desktop site"
The page will reload automatically to a closer version of codeacademy that you are familiar with on the desktop site.

Thanks so much, currently on my Samsung Tab S 10.5 with a logitech keyboard, and works extremely well with codecademy now
Hi, I have been lurking around Google Play Store in search for the browser that will suit my expectations. Right now I am using Firefox Beta, but the UI is not that great for tablet (I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with 7 inch display). Also checked other most popular browsers like UC, Puffin, Opera Mini etc. but all of them look the same to me. Besides I heard that some of them like to spy on users. The most important criteria for me is speed and by speed I mean overall feel of the browser like: page loading, smooth scrolling and javascript engine. Cause most of the Android browsers are really sluggish, especially Google Chrome. So... what are your recommendations? I am interested in niche browsers as well. Thanks
