Forget Opera. Forget Dolphin. It is most definitely all about xScope. xScope is a browser that I only just heard about today. When it first came out, it was powerful, but its simple looks led to it being criminally overlooked. Now, it is by far the sexiest browser available, and the most functional too. If you're looking for the browser to bring an iPhone-like experience to your X, this is it.
If you are a Chrome user on your PC (you should be), you will love xScope. Chrome is all about being crazy powerful while being lightning fast and having a simple, streamlined interface. xScope embodies these principals more fully than any other browser.
xScope features a brand new way to zoom. Double tap and hold, then move left or right to move out or out. Pinch zooming is also available. Both of these methods provide the cleanest zooming of any browser. This is true continuously scaling browsing at its best.
When viewing a single page, xScope can be set to have no visible interface. That means no tab bar at the top, no address bar, and no notification bar. This setting makes the Droid X screen shine oh so brightly. The experience is truly reminiscent of browsing on an Apple device, and you know that's a good thing. Of course, sometimes you need an address bar, so you just swipe down from the top of the screen and it shows up. Another swipe pulls your notification bar back down, and, of course, you swipe down to unfurl that. This successive swiping may sound redundant, but it's very intuitive and a little bit fun.
Long pressing a link causes it to open in a new tab. You can swap between tabs with horizontal swipes. The swiping is rotary, so the direction you swipe is not critical. You can also change tabs by tapping between them at the top of the screen, of course. Tabs are closed by going to the tab page you want to close and then tapping its tab icon at the top of the screen. The closing animation is quite pleasant, again, think Apple.
Oh, and did I mention xScope is hella fast?
Seriously, this browser could have come directly from Google or Apple and it wouldn't be surprising at all. There are still a bunch of slick features that I didn't even mention. But don't take my word for it, try it yourself!
Be sure to look at the tutorial to learn how to fully utilize xScope.

Had no idea it was spelled like that.
