Poll: Which browser do you use the most on your GN?

[mozy]

I mostly use the native ICS browser - seems to be the fastest.

Same. This is the very first time I've ever gone stock. Stock dialer, stock messaging app, stock home launcher (well, the beta xda one that's based on stock), stock camera, stock browser. The only thing I use an app for is email, and the stock app is actually good, but I have 5 accounts and need a combined inbox and account colors. Enhanced Email still works like a champ for that.

I prefer Dolphin.
The stock browser is ok, but with dolphin I only have to sit it once to use desktop rendering.

The stock browser is fast, but my biggest gripe with it is that it has no exit function. If I'm many pages deep into some browsing, I don't want to sit there hitting the back button 20 times to close it.

Just hit the menu button on the top right and swipe the page you want close to the right to close.

Thanks, that worked perfectly. How about this one in the stock browser:

I notice that if I go to the netflix web site in any browser, the bar at the top of the site that contains the search bar for movies seems to be stuck where it is if you have zoomed in. You can't actually scroll over to the right to enter a search (when zoomed). The rest of the page scrolls, but not the search bar part. This does not happen on my Bionic or X. Maybe an ICS issue, but I have no idea where to report such a bug.

I have been trying for a week to get others to notice or admit that there is something weird with browsing the web on ICS. Just going to gmail.com acts weird. If you use a background image on your google homepage, it's totally screwed.
Even browsing images on google the pictures scroll right thru the top of the browser.

All the things I'm talking about are happening when you set the browser as a desktop. It happens in stock, opera, dolphin, and xscope.

I use the stock browser. Works fine for me so no need to go about using different ones.

So how does a detailed problem like this ever get reported to Google so they fix it?

The way I see it, enough people have to notice before it becomes a big enough problem for google to pay attention to it.
I have mentioned this on 3 different boards and no one pays attention.
Once people start checking it out for themselves the problem will get more attention just like the problem not being able to separate the ringer volume from notifications. I mentioned that last Friday and no one else paid attention until this week.

Boat Browser is far better and faster. Try it.

Is there a way to make the browser always render the desktop view on this browser?

No one uses Quick controls in stock browser? Best feature IMO.

I'm using quick controls thanks to you - they rock!
