I'm still using Dolphin HD. I'm a sucker for change so I honestly want someone to convince me not to use Dolphin anymore, but it just works so well. I mostly use it for the quick switch between full and mobile mode on websites. I even snagged xscope on the free app the day deal they had but I havn't tried it yet.
Can the OP add a poll?
Honestly, I just use the stock browser. I've tried DHD, but usually end up going back to stock. Maybe I'll give them another chance.
Besides the tabs (GOTS to have my TABS!!!), the gesture feature of Dolphin is nothing short of awesome. You can create your own gestures and then use them to add bookmarks, open tabs, close tabs, etc., etc... LOVE that feature. It takes a minute to learn how to use. But once you do, you simply can't live without it.

I ran the Sunspider test on the Bionic on four different browsers and here are the results:
Sunspider Test(lower is better)
Stock Browser 3873.8ms
Dolphin HD 3743.0ms
Opera Mobile(not Opera Mini) 2124.2ms
Firefox 1813.2ms
Firefox and Opera are significantly better than the stock browser or Dolphin in javascript performance. Opera Mobile is my favorite of those 4. It scrolls and zooms significantly smoother than the other 3 on very intensive/choppy websites.
I've been using stock, Opera, Skyfire, and xScope to see what performs the best on the Bionic. So far, I'd say they're all about equal in terms of speed. I haven't put Dolphin HD on cause I've never figured out how to turn off the side bar that pops up every time I scroll down a page. lol
Have not seen this mentioned yet but I have been sticking with Miren. I tried it towards the end on my X and loved it. It is fast, pulls up desktop sites (not mobile) if you update the settings, plays flash content great and has the tabs and use to use interface. I have not tried anything since I went to this because it works perfect for me.
I love Opera. It is the best combination of smooth scrolling and fast page loading on my phone. I have DHD as well and while the tabs are nice, I don't find myself using the gestures or slide menus too much.
