Looking for an alternative browser to replace the standard Google browser that come with android. I guess my options are

Mozilla Firefox.
Opera.
Dolphin.
Firefox beta.
Bolt.

What does everyone else use?

Opera mobile. You'll never look back.

Obviously you should try them all but if you want to save some time and know what you'll end up with: opera.

This.


I've tried at least 10 of the most popular browser. Opera beats them all in speed tests and functionality.

I like opera, but moved away from it on my tbolt, don't know if it was setting or opera but constantly had problems on some websites with opera pulling up the wrong links. Like it was caching something. Most noticeable on fox news. I thought it was their website until I realized it wasn't happening with other browsers on same phone.

Anyone else experienced it.
 
My new favorite browser is Boat.
Not to be confused with another browser called Bolt.
Boat browser looks a lot like the iPhone browser.

Opera hands down is the best...

As for wrong page was you using Google as a search because Google has been having issues still because the Google Redirect Virus that hit the site?

Haven't had any issues and can't see myself using anything else, the transitions, zoom and page load is the smoothest of all I tried.

You made me curious... Just downloaded and this one doesn't seem bad, seem to load pages faster but zoom is a bit slow but still a nice find..

Thanks for sharing..

In gonna download them all and see what works well for me. I used to have opra on my blackberry and it wasn't very good back then. Probably was the blackberry tho. I'm gonna check out this boat to, seems interesting.
 
For those using boat are you using mini or the regular one?

I'm using mini. I'm thinking of getting the regular version a shot. I haven't checked to see what's the difference is between the two.

Well firefox was good then someone lead me to Boat..... Firefox is gone and Boat is def working very nicely. Opera is next.
 
Thanks guys. Boat browser is way better than the stock miui browser and doesn't crash when I try to edit the bookmarks lol
 
I use xscope and it feels as if it knows what links im going to press cus it loads quicker than stock browser. Also aa far as im concerned, it has unlimited windows.

I have used at one time or another just about every Web browser available. I thought Dolphin HD was the best until I saw Boat. Now i'm reconsidering my choices.
