what browser do you use on your phone?

happy0506 · Apr 28, 2013

Chrome because I like the syncing of bookmarks and history with my PC browsers at home and at work.

However, Boat seems to be quite popular. I'll have to give that a whirl. As soon as I get my new Nexus 4, I had my GNex stolen yesterday. :-(

First day I got my S3, I downloaded Google Chrome. I was surprised on how crap it was but thought all browsers would be like that. After months and months, I started not to even browser on my phone. Until then, I just downloaded Dolphin (already once downloaded it) and it was really great and fast. But one thing I hate is the UI and the look. I don't like the look of it. Nevertheless, it used to get the job done. Yesterday I was playing with the stock browser on my Galaxy S3 and loved it LOL (because I never used it until now - I got my S3 in September). So now I'm a stock boy

I've used Chrome since the GS3..definitely might try Boat soon

Used Boat, Chrome, Dolphin, Maxthon, Opera, and now I'm back to stock. Lol.

I need help. I have a Razr Maxx HD and a limited data plan so I figured I'd give Opera a try to save data. Everything seems to work fine and it's fast BUT facebook only shows me half the page. Or rather the entire facebook page loads onto the left half of my screen with pics and videos cut in half. I can make it bigger to fill the screen but the pics and videos are still cut in half. Bizarre. Anyone know what the heck's going on? Is it just the way it is when it goes thru Operas compression deal?

Are you using Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? If you want to save data, I'd recommend Opera Mini.

In terms of Facebook, do you have Opera on desktop mode instead of mobile mode? Make sure you're going to m.facebook.com.

You can also save on data by not loading images.

Does "turbo" mode in Opera use the same proxy servers as Opera Mini to condense the data?

Basing on desktop Opera, yes. However you'd still be using more data than with mini because mini disregards plugins and does not load other data. Full Opera tries to load Flash and other plugins you may have.

I've been using Chrome. It's in sync with everything from my Google account, like all the bookmarks and is already signed into everything.

I love to use Chrome

Opera. My phone is only running Gingerbread, so I can't run Chrome. I can technically run Firefox, but it's not stable (and that's my phone, as my sister runs firefox on her SGS2 and Galaxy Tablet without issue). I'm not the biggest fan of Dolphin, so Opera it is. I don't do a lot of browsing on my phone, so I don't need much.

Yeah I'm using Mini. It seems to resolve itself once I get there and click on Timeline or Home but when I click on Facebook in the Speed Dial half the screen comes up white/blank

I mostly use the stock browser on my GNex, but I also have Chrome Beta installed for the syncing across devices. I used to have Firefox, but only to watch Amazon Prime VoD, but once that didn't work anymore I uninstalled FF.

shadowqueene · Apr 29, 2013

Opera here, too. Mini. I was using Mobile for awhile, but randomly decided to give Mini another shot. It's working pretty well for me, so I ditched Mobile. I tried Dolphin, Boat, and Firefox with not so good results. I'm surprised at how much I like Mini now, since I used to hate it.
