Android: What browser Do you use?

[dguy6789]

I use stock. I would use Opera Mobile because of how fast it is but it seems really flaky. The most annoying thing is that it doesn't make any attempt to scroll vertically when you try to scroll up or down a web page, it just takes the raw touch input so it will often scroll up or down slightly diagonally because people don't drag across the screen in a perfectly straight line. The stock Android browser has a filter that helps make sure scrolling that you intend to be only vertical is only vertical which by itself outweighs every single benefit Opera Mobile has.

Tabs are a necessity.

Stock (Touchwiz) browser. I used Opera Mobile when my phone was on 2.2 but the Touchwiz browser on newer versions of Android is hardware accelerated and just as fast as Opera but has better compatibility.

Ive used Dolphin, Opera and Miren, and of course the stock and currently I use Miren primarily. However, I noticed that all Android browsers have their flaws and no matter how big or small, the stock one seems to be the most useful and convenient.

I would not recommend Dolphin or Opera mini, both reportedly are privacy nightmares. Apparently they track your web usage and send it to their servers etc... Head over to XDA to read more details, they are making a pretty big deal about it.

Dolphin patched it out in 7.0.2

Using opera mobile on my sgs2 mainly due to the navigation bar at the bottom, don't feel like pressing menu every time to access tabs/windows/refresh and other controls.

Dolphin HD on my phone. Opera the touch scrolling is very unresponsive.

Opera on my tablet. Dolphin lags hardcore on some pages for whatever reason.

Overall I prefer Dolphin. Page home/end with volume buttons, and the way the tabs and homepage bookmark tabs work are far superior to Opera.

I used and liked Dolphin HD, downloaded a bunch of them, seriously tried Opera for awhile, then Firefox, and just a few days ago, I deleted all of them except Dolphin HD.

So Dolphin HD is it, until something I like better comes along.

Opera Mobile.

I've tried Dolphin and Opera but still went back to stock browser. It seems to perform the best and is the easiest to use out of those.

So far Dolphin HD has been decent, It saves my Tabs that I had when I minimized it last so when I get back to it even with the process killed my tabs are up. Opera always had to either reload or lost my tabs which got annoying. which was my only issue with Opera.
