Which browser are you using?

Stock or Chrome or other?

I've been using Chrome but have to say the stock ain't bad. I like the bookmark button on main screen where in Chrome you have to hit the menu button.

Unquestionably, Dolphin.

Looks like he Unquestionably is using the wrong one when there are several better choices!

Since Chrome causes my HTC Sensation 4G's launcher to occasionally crash, on exit, I tried every highly-rated browser in the Play Store. Result: They all sucked in one way or another. So I kept going back to Dolphin. Dolphin, unfortunately, is inconvenient and dog slow. I finally went with Chrome, and just live with the occasional launcher crash.

I'll have to try out some of those. I just used chrome because I use it on desktop

While you're at it check out Maxthon browser, it's real nice I like that a lot too. My buddy will only use Naked Browser, check it out. It's not for me at the moment but I can appreciate it's.... nakedness.

This thread inspired me to download Dolphin browser for the first time in years. I must say that I do like how snappy it is compared to other browsers I use and it has a better render on some sites I use regularly for work.

I'm using boat, I tried many others, chrome that i hate, UC, Opera, firefox, dolphin and at least two other that I dont even remember, and I kept boat, fast, easy to use, open every site that I want, there is no remaining process after closing it compared to most of the others.

Well, keep in mind, among all these browsers, only Firefox had a completely different core which may be important if you want to be 100 percent private.

It also has a counter part on desktop which allows you to synchronize everything, bookmark, password, history, opened tabs, etc.

Just an update --

I tried Firefox - liked layout and the screen with all your fav pages, but many pages that go to the mobile version on Chrome go to the Full Site on Firefox. Had to switch to mobile manually. I also found it to be a huge program. Up to 90 mbs really quickly. I like the reader or read pages later option.

I tell you this - the stock browser is pretty darn good too...

Tried them all (stock, dolphin, Maxthon, opera, boat, One, Puffin, Chrome, Firefox). I only have two left: Boat and Puffin. Puffin is by far the fastest and it allows Flash support. I did have to purchase the Professional Version. I also like Boat.

As you can see, everyone has their own opinion. There isn't a clear concise winner here or we wouldn't have this topic every other month.

ram is for usage! empty ram is bad ram :)

btw, in reading mode, you can switch to white font on pure black background, which saves battery on AMOLED screens.
