Dolphin Browser HD

Does this version of Dolphin play Flash videos like Skyfire, is that why we're comparing them? I've gotten very use to the speed that xScope brings (plus I really dig the home page layout), so I've stuck to that and just use Skyfire if I know I'm going to need the Flash capability.


I'm not sure I'll check it out and post my findings.

No it doesn't. At least, not with the sites that I tried from the Skyfire compatible website thread. But it's still a really nice browser.

Is this the same thing as the Beta Dolphin "Tunney" browser? Nevermind looks like it is a themed version of the current dolphin. Very nice though. I couldn't download it through that link so I found it here . This browser is very fast. I wonder if the creator made changes other than cosmetic.


i have the hero and twice now 2 diff apk's i keep getting could not be installed on this phone why?

You can only drag them up and down the list of bookmarks, I think.


Been using it today. I really like it, but I just can't live with the ads and I'm not obviously not going to pay for a browser. This isn't 1997.

We really need a Firefox (proper version!) or Chrome to come along and blow all these guys out of the water.

I think the UI is nice, I like the option to get addons for it and the default skin is decent looking. I hate the adds though and there's no way I can justify paying 4.99 for a browser. I tried out the free version, it was ok but I did find it to be a bit laggy as compared to the stock browser which so far still works well for me. Actually not a bit laggy, but quite a bit since I tried to access the same webpage on both browsers and the stock was lightening fast compared to dolphin hd.

When Firefox comes out though I'll be all over that since FF is all I use on my pc.
