Help Best Browser

[zipur]

I just downloaded a web browser from the android market called UC Browser which was developed in China. This app is zippy and responsive like opera mini. The downside is that the menu is in chineese but with graphical icons so I eventually figured out how to use this browser. The developer should be releasing an english version for android pretty soon but in the mean time you can try it out.

bad bowser, it wont go to goole, facebook and any news web sites negitive to China.

Stock Browser for me. I tried them ALL and none of them gave any reason to use anything but the stock browser.

Opera Mini 4.2 works when you get the new CL14 update... if that interests anyone

dude. sweet man, thanks looking it up now.

When I was using the cj05 or whatever os, opera mini wouldn't work. After I completed the Zefie cl14 downloads, then it worked.
Not sure why....


*****nevermind, somebody beat me to this, sorry*******

In what ways are Opera Mini better than default?

Opera Mini uses server side rendering, so webpages will load alot faster.

 

[NOMster]

of course, the scroll doesnt fling anymore and you cant view certain content. and i still cant see my sprint account from my phone...dimmit.

I notice there's a failure to mention that you can download YouTube videos with Dolphin....

This thread inspired me to try steel again. And I love it now. Its crazy fast even if it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. Just streamlined quickness.

Do you prefer that or Opera mini? I grabbed Opera off the market a couple days ago and I love how fast it is! But it's the most rigid, ugly, and user unfriendly browser I could imagine. How does steel differ?

 

[NOMster]

It works just like the native broweser but with less clutter and faster. Its tricky to fugure out but after working with it I uninstalled opera.

Ive used them all and think Steel is the best in terms of speed, usability, and less clutter not forgetting that its also very light.

Dolphin is slower and feels sluggish and cluttered.

Now using xScope and so far it seems very promising. Light as steel with tabbed browsing and very light nice zoom options and a clean UI. Seems fast too.

The trick is to use a browser for at least a week.

Opera mini 5 is on the market for the Moment now... great UI and alot of great new features.

I just ditched Dolphin and started using Opera, so far much faster. Features seem nice.

 

[akenis]

Yep...the new opera mini beta is awesome!

i personally cant stand dolphin, i did some looking and found that XScope is the best for me, flawless multitouch, great interface, bookmarks is the homepage, plus it is faster than the stock or dolphin, try it out

 

[NOMster]

i too enjoy the new version of opera, but its hard to let go of steel now that i'm used to it. is xscope on the market?

No such thing as "flawless multitouch" on the Moment (yet?), this is in the Moment section after all. xScope works well, unfortunately the "press and hold back key menu" feature is broken on the Moment. The author is aware of it, hopefully there will be a fix (or we'll get 2.1 soon).

I liked opera and kept but back to dolphin as default browser

Just another vote for the Dolphin. Slightly faster than the stock as I see it. Download from the app market today and try it. Can't hurt.

Started stock, then moved to steel b/c I heard dolphin added ads.
Steel had some issues (I don't remember exactly what anymore... but I didn't like it), so I moved to opera.
Opera was FAAASSSST in comparison but it has serious problems with clicking links and holding info when multitasking (reloads back to scratch when I try to switch between apps).
So I recently moved to Xscope. And I love it. It's fast and it operates like the stock browser when handling web pages or clicking links. It has a pinned zooming feature (similar to pinch-to-zoom but only requires one finger) as well as tap zoom and it tabs windows extremely well. And best of all, it has an exit button!

I use the stock browser and have a question...

My browser always has multiple windows open. When I click on somethin a new window opens up. Is that normal? Is there a way to fix that? do multiple windows drain the battery faster?

Plus if I reopen the browser after closing it, all my windows will still be there..
