Favorite Android Browser?

Been toying with all the browsers tonight on my Galaxy Nexus.

Surprised the stock jelly bean browser gives me the smoothest overall experience. ( Zooming and scrolling much better than chrome although Chrome may load some pages quicker)

Thoughts?
 
I like Chrome but I like the speed of the stock browser. Chrome locks up a lot for me for unknown reasons. I think some pages become difficult to handle on desktop mode and it just freezes. This is on my SGS2. I don't think CM9 has anything to do with it.
 
Chrome.
I've completely stopped using Opera now and I don't think I've ever opened the stock browser on my Galaxy S II this year at all.
 
I use Dolphin for mine, didn't even consider using the stock browser at all. It's got more functionality, and works very well for me.
 
Used to be Dolphin HD, but once I tried Chrome I was hooked. Used it for a few days and I don't miss Dolphin at all.

You can still keep the stock browser and Dolphin around to try out, but I find myself pretty much just using Chrome.
 
Used to be chrome, but that's giving me fits lately. Now I use whatever the stock is on my current rom.
 
I use stock and Firefox beta. This is a Droid X2, so Chrome and other ICS/JB browsers aren't available.

Mozilla managed to get Firefox's performance up to the point where it's much faster than Gingerbread's stock (at least in Sunspider, ~2000 ms versus ~3600 or so). It does take forever to start up and has some sluggishness still which is why I still use stock as well. ABP works great though.
 
I want to like chrome, much faster & smoother than opera mobile. But you can't get rid of or even hide the navigation bar in chrome; and that is a big no no for me. I'll switch from opera once google caves and fixes the navigation bar.
 
Boat browser. Only one that resizes pages/text right on my S3. Plus all the options it has, so I use it on my TF101 as well.

Chrome sucks imo, I use desktop view 24/7 and a lot of sites still use flash.
 
Opera and 'browser'. I have a Kindle Fire, and I find that using 'browser' doesn't cause other apps (usually forum apps) to get kicked out of memory.

Otherwise, Opera. Chrome has this awesome feature where it will zoom in on links if it isn't sure what you clicked (best feature ever), but other than that I find it doesn't run as well as Opera.
 
I run dolphin and the dolphin beta. Always been reliable for me and the mood are great for my galaxy s2/epic 4g touch
 
Chrome and Firefox. Neither is giving me any issues, and I use both at random. I don't have a need to try anything else. These two came out when I was on iOS. So they are new to me. I would try Dolphin and Opera again, but I don't feel compelled to do so.
 
I love the sync in Chrome but have Dolphin HD on all my Androids as a backup.

Can't deal with any browser without proper tab support.
 
I use ICS Browser+. It's the stock ICS browser with some nice additions. I used to use Chrome but I was noticing too many small issues that made me try something else.
