Best Browser?

+1
Stock for the pretty show

Opera when I need just the guts and speed


I agree with those above who like Opera and Stock. I use Opera Mini 5 more than the Stock browser now. I just wish I could make that my default browser, as it's a lot faster.

I do use Dolphin on occassion for pesky sites with Flash or to download YouTube or Flash videos.

So has no one figured out how to set a default browser??

I havn't figured it out yet... I don't think there is a way.. which really sucks since Opera Mini is by far the fastest browser... if anyone can figure out how to do this, or can reach the opera devs, please suggest this to them. It's the only thing holding me back from being top.

I use XScope which I think is better than the stock browser, although this new update they just released seems to have slowed things down substantially. Hopefully they will release a fix for that soon.

does opera have the pinch zoom?

No.

When you load up a webpage for example from a link outside a browser it will ask you open with..
You can check the box that says set to default and then click the browser you would like as your default

Correct me if im wrong but Opera can't be set as default. Thats the only reason I find myself not using it 100% of the time. Its so fast :D
