I've tried skyfire, dolphin, and opera and like opera the best. No pinch to zoom is the only downer but don't really need it with their implementation.
Dolphin hd is great but you can't turn off flash. At least the last version i had you couldn't.
Right now I'm using stockwith the flash 10.1 upgrade.
how did you get the flash 10.1 upgrade.... i want that!
Does the default browser use the Flash Lite plugin?
Right now I have stock, dolphinHD, opera, and skyfire installed. Just to test them out. I love skyfire the best so far. They are all similar but skyfire has a button to change the user agent between Android, desktop, and iPhone.
I just wish the "Stock" browser on the Evo was actually the STOCK browser on regular Android. The Evo's browser is even named differently (named Internet).
On the actual STOCK browser, double-tap would fit-page-to-screen, but multitouch zooming wouldn't mess with the layout. That is much better than how Evo's "stock" browser does it. In Evo's browser, the fit-page-to-screen option controls both double-tap and multitouch zoom. That means everytime you pinched in or out, the page would redo the layout and jump position a bit. Dolphin HD has the same problem on the Evo. Dophin HD does NOT have this problem on the Moto Droid, which has the actual STOCK browser. This leads me to believe the Dolphin is merely a wrapper for whatever browser comes with the phone. That's why it behaves differently on the Evo vs Droid.
Most of you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Go play with a friend's Android phone that has the STOCK browser and you'll see what I'm talking about.
True STOCK Android Browser (like on Moto Droid) is better than Evo's "sense ui" stock browser.
Ok so it's not me, coming from an iPhone the browser was driving me crazy. Any chance of getting the stock browser on the EVO, without installing a custom ROM?
Opera blows. I don't understand why people like it. It does not support flash.
