Is there a better browser for the Vegan 5.1 release? The Facebook website in particular has a problem with the bottom-docked chat bar scroll up the screen and getting in the way of games and posts.
Thanks!
Jim
I have seen the problem your talking about on Facebook. I haven't used any other browsers on it besides the default, an old version of fennec and the crashy veiwsonic one. When I get back home ill check out how fennec does on Facebook. I know dolphins a popular browser but I've never tried it. Does anyone know how it does on the gtab?
Decided to use my precious limited data on my Htc Aria, Xda app
I've been really happy with Dolphin HD on Vegan 5.1. The up and down gesture controls are pretty helpful.
There is also skyfire and xscope
Okay, I installed Dolphin on my Gtablet. It seems like a nice browser and a little more adapt for tablets than the regular android browser in froyo. It still dosnt seem to be better with the facebook chat bar. To tell you the truth I wasnt expecting the bar to work at all in any browser in android when i fist got my gtab. Im hoping for better browsers soon. If you take a look at the demo of the moto Xoom, It looks like they might have put chrome in honeycomb, if so it would be much better than any browser for android right now.
They are all sorta lacking
Skyfire has a nice feature in being able to easily switch between mobile and desktop rendering of a web page. I find their little toolbar at the bottom of the screen that lets you integrate with Facebook to be annoying and there's no way to turn it off. The tabbed browsing isn't very friendly. You have to access it from a button on the control bar which opens another screen to select the tab. I never did figure out how to close a tab. It is pretty speedy. It's the only one I tested that isn't compatible with my Netvibes homepage--I don't know why, so I don't know what other sites might trip it up.
For me, Xscope was noticeably slower than the others in rendering pages. It's tabbed browsing works well, more like a computer browser's would. This one seemed to be the best at keeping flash-based items framed where they are supposed to be in relation to the rest of the webpage. (The facebook chat bar still rides up on this one...it rides up on all of them.) I don't like the fact that you cannot save webpages/bookmarks as shortcuts on the device's desktop with this browser.
No reason to talk about Opera Mobile.
I am using Dolphin. The tabs are best of the bunch. Swipe right and the bookmarks show. You can save bookmarks as shortcuts on the desktop. It's not quite as fast as Skyfire, but faster than Xscope. It does get to acting flaky sometimes--like trying to enter a term into the search field on the XDA site here. I've had it shut down a few times. To me, this ones features and usability set it apart from the others.
I mainly use Dolphin HD but have also installed Dolphin Mini and I really like it on the Gtab.
There's also a newer browser named Miren Browser. Check the market for it. It supports full flash and has tab browsing. Pretty neat.
Scott
Miren and Dolphin HD are my "go to" browsers on this.
Miren just "looks" nicer for some reason then Dolphin HD. I tend to use Miren more for aesthetic purposes.
Either browser sometimes gives me download errors when I try to download. Once in a while (more often then not) I get the following error when trying to download: "Can't download as file size is unknown" and then it just quits.
Any one have any ideas how to fix that?
I'm also for Dolphin HD. Lately it's been FC-ing on me, but I'm not blaming Dolphin itself (I'll be repartitioning today).
Dolphin Mini, seems to be geared more towards the g-tab. I've tried several of the others and mini works best for me.
I just put vegan on my gtab but many of the applications wont show up on the market and when i find them via browser it says they are not compatable with my device ie launcher pro and any of the dolphin browsers. I love HD on my droidx and would love to have in on my gtab aswell

take a look at firefox. Was using Dolphin, but this is much faster.
I have been using dolphin browser hd. It has been working well on my g-tab
Swyped from my St0n3d VEGAn 1.0 Beta 5.1.1 G-Tab
On the G-Tab I have tried most of the browsers.
Dolphin HD is my favorite so far. I am really looking forward to their public beta of the tablet optimized version.
Skyfire is fast, but I HATE that bottom bar.
Firefox 4 is out for Android, but the website graphics are bad compared to others. Some type of optimizing I am guessing. Despite that it is still slow.
I need to try Miren. I have not had a chance yet.
Being a tablet as opposed to a phone I would love for them to just release full Chrome on it.
Dolphin HD has some nice features, but it seems to present a condensed version of my favorite daily newspapers. I've tried typing in the full url, but it changes it and won't seem to present the normal view, that the stock Vegan browser presents. (An example, AZcentral.com.) Anyone know of a fix. Meantime I will try Miren. Can't get firefox to download to my Viewsonic, as Google does not recognize it as a android device. (I heard that going back to stock rom will fix that??)

That's probably on the newspaper's web site, reacting to the fact that it is a mobile browser. Go in to the Dolphin settings and change the user agent to Desktop, and see if that helps.

I know about sky fire, fire fox, dolphin. But honestly it doesn't seem like any of these are a better alternative to the stock web browser. Dolphins ability to view desktop pages is cool though. Can anyone recommend a browser that is actually all around better than stock or does such a thing exist?
XScope is not bad. I use DolphinHD myself.
http://androidandme.com/2010/04/app...-the-fastest-alternative-browser-for-android/
I like Miren Browser the best out of all I have tried. It's a very simple UI with tabbed browsing, and I find it to be the fastest of the browsers I have used (I'm sure many people would disagree with this, but on my phone this is what I've found). Hope this helps!
xscope and miren are the best. xscope is due for another major update.....cant wait.
My vote is going to have to go with Miren as well. I have been using it for the past week and a half and i have to say, it's slightly faster, and it fits well with my blue theme. Simple UI, advanced features when I need it, all around solid browser. Dolphin HD seemed a little slow for me all the time, but then again, other people may have diff experiences.
To me it's a toss-up between Dolphin HD 4 and Miren. Both are fast and feature packed. Dolphin mini was ok but lacked add-ons that I use with HD.
Opera Mobile 10 seems to work best for download sites such as filesonic, etc. but is a little slower and usually re-directs you to mobile websites even when setting the 'Mobile View' option off.
Xscope 6.x seemed to be the most feature-packed and perhaps the most bloated. It was considerably slower in loading AND rendering pages than all the other I've used.
Don't even waste your time with Firefox - it's the slowest of them all and has a lot more development to go before it can be a usable browser on android.
Skyfire is different than the above because it uses proxy servers to render content so it appears faster because of this and also has video capabilities. Since it doesn't connect to websites directly and instead uses proxies you may experience slow connections or no connections (happened to me a few times). The main advantage is you can view flash video content from sites like CNN.COM and ESPN.COM. If you are running Android 2.2 or higher you can view flash content directly and therefore Skyfire it not really needed.
Opera Mini works similar to Skyfire in that it uses proxy servers to view websites but doesn't have video capabilities (last time I checked).
I don't really like browsers that use proxies (UCWEB is another), I want a direct connection to websites just like on my PC.
I haven't really found the 'perfect android browser' since I sometimes I find a site that works better with one browser than the other which is why I keep Dolphin HD, Miren and Opera Mobile. I guess my main browser would have to be Dolphin HD.

Dolphin mini is my favorite. its about the same speed for me on the vibrant but on my girls mt3g slide it is super fast. dolphin mini not dolphin hd
Opera mobile is my fav. Reminds me of Firefox for desktop.
My second is Firefox mobile.it jusy doesn't seem as fast as Opera IMO.

I have a little problem. I love the opera mobile browser....but each time when I am browsing and decided to switch to another application on my vibrant, for e.g messages, yahoo messenger e.t.c. when I try returning back to opera mobile to continue from where I stopped using the task manager it just open opera mobile afresh with all the tabs I was reading gone. does any one know the solution to this?
xScope is fast but the UI is hideous. (no offence but I really hate the UI).
I was using Dolphin Mini for a very long time, it's lighter and faster than HD. I've just switched to Opera Web recently but I haven't decided if I want to keep it yet.

Are you using any task killer? If you are, stop using it.
If programs still get killed too fast, get minfree memory manager, set it to a value that gives you more room for apps running at the same time.
Maxthon was posted in the main android dev forum on here a couple weeks ago. I have been using it some and like it so far.

I use Dolphin HD and love it. As a LastPass user, it has the built in browser plugin that is essential for me.
Try the Miren browser, it's nice, can do flash just like the stock google browser, and home pages when opened up.

On my N1, I've been happily using Miren browser for about a year now. So far, there is not a single browser that really is impressive on honeycomb - am I missing something?
Opera
pros - seems fastest so far (on most pages), quick scroll option, find on page works
cons - can't play flash?!, really struggles with blogspot in particular, but other random sites as well
Stock
pros - everything works
cons - it just works slowly
Firefox -
pros - the layout is wonderful, find on page works
cons - no quick scroll/bottom of page option, no flash?!, poor resolution(?)
Dolphin Browser
pros - nice layout, fast (close to opera), works on every site I use
cons - no fast scroll or find on page, gestures for side menus very sensitive, no navigation/tabs bar when you scroll down without pressing menu
Does this sum up everyone else's experience? Unfortunately, I have to use multiple browsers, depending on the websites I intend to go to. Dolphin is the closest to being the best for me, but I read blogs with extremely long comment pages making it absolutely non usable. For work, our website has a flash component taking Opera out as an every use player (and Firefox). Stock browser is significantly slower in my real world anecdotal evidence, so I really don't like it.
I've used Boat browser on my phone, but didn't really like it. Maybe I'll give that another go tonight.
I'm also looking for the best browser. Tried dolphin hd, Firefox, stock. My issue is that the flex t9 keyboard doesn't allow swype mode on nearly all browser url/ search bars. Don't know what the deal with that is. Firefox allows it, however.
Would like to see more feedback on this thread to help point me in the right direction.

Wow i'm glad you started this thread.I'm going to pick up mine tomorrow & for me browser performance is crucial to me.Has anyone tried Dolphin for Pad yet?
Also i have this posted everywhere but what will ICS do for the browser?I've seen the Tegra 3 videos on youtube where page rendering on Tegra 3 vs Tegra 2 was no competition at all.The pages were loading lightning fast.Is this what ICS brings? Is this the reason ASUS wanted the tablet to ship with ICS?
Have you tried Miren? I use it on my phone and I like it a lot.

Just FYI, the "find on page" option is in the extended menu under MENU > MORE. I really think they should make it more accessible. As for "Dolphin for pad" its still in beta and doesn't have all the features of DolphinHD, so I don't find it as useful.

opera browser is the best. who said it doesnt play flash? opera mini doesnt but opera mobile does. dolphinhd would be next in line. those the only two i need.
So far I like Opera best, but the flash issues are a real problem. Also wish it handled tabs like Dolphin.

It has issues with embedded YouTube videos on forum pages for one thing. Video is just black while sound plays.
i was hoping the stock was gonna be good enough since my acer a100 stock browser is pretty smooth. I feel like im using gtab with the browser. Even the Lenovo ideapad K1 was smoother than this. I'll have to try dolphin then.
I have heard that the stock one on ics will be much better, but isn't flash going to be unavailable in the ics browser?

Flash has already updated to support ICS.
In relation to Opera and Flash - it works perfectly on my Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note. Struggle to see why it wouldn't on the Prime. I presume you're on the latest version of the Flash Player? Perhaps try an older one if not, it may be that the ICS update broke some stuff elsewhere...
So far I have only used the stock browser and opera mobile. I like opera but I have yet to try it on Flash sites.
I am using the Google keyboard instead of the Asus keyboard and I can type a lot faster.
on edit: I just tested Flash on opera mobile and it worked like a charm.
Re: Opera not playing flash. Try going to southpark and playing an episode. Or go to watchseries.eu and follow any of their links to videozer, videobb, etc. I can click on flash, but then its just a black screen. Sometimes sounds starts to work, but mostly not. Its the same with my work site. Its a known problem that a quick google will show you.
New browser trials:
Dolphin
I found I can do bottom of page, switch tabs, access the search bar, etc. through gestures. Definitely not ideal, but makes it at least a passable single solution browser.
Boat Browser
pros - really fast, everything works
cons - no bottom of page/fast scroll, not a huge personal fan of bottom of the screen tool bars
Maxthon Pad (not the tampon...)
pros - fast, everything works
cons - no bottom of page/fast scroll, not a huge personal fan of bottom of the screen tool bars
Sleipner Mobile
pros - gesture use without having to select something to do gestures
cons - gesture use without having to select something to do gestures. My experience, they need to have a specific screen area where gestures work, otherwise you accidentally go forward, backward, switch tabs, etc. way too often
Miren browser doesn't work on honeycomb I'm guessing, because it doesn't show up in search results for it.
Hey,
So.. I just recently got my hands on the prime and was trying out different browsers.
I've just found out that Maxthon created a tablet version browser and was fairly impressed with it however, I'm experiencing issues with sites that plays videos, e.g. desktop youtube site, it causes issues when you try to fullscreen the video and the connection of the browser just completely cuts off.
Either than that, everything works great and beautifully to I must say. A definite much more attractive and in someways, faster UI and browser in my opinion.
What are your opinions? and if your experiencing the same issue as me, are there any fix available to get around this issue?
Cheers!

Never heard of it. But after ICS, I don't really care for other browsers since the stock one is working fine.

I used the maxthon and found it quite useful at first. Its smoother than the stock browser. I have not try the youtube on maxthon yet about the fullscreen but when i tried to select text on a web page it will force close itself. Other than that maxthon has been pretty good for me.
I've tried just about every browser Android has to offer to find the best and I'm just spoiled from using Firefox on Windows 7 everyday, nothing Android has can touch it.
After trying everything I think I'm going with Maxthon, just wish they had more add-ons. Really want something like Ad-block Plus.
my browser of choice is opera mobile. but I do have Maxon. also. I do have to admit its the best looking out of all the browsers. its hard to describe but everything is rendered so well on it. Damn, can't describe it in words but its a real beautiful looking browser. All sites look so good on it. its a good browser. it has alot of potential. Still not a true tablet version though because it still has resoulution capability checkbox on the bottom. its more of an in-between version. still looks great. makes me wanna switch to it now...Brb..lol
Thanks for the great feedback guys.
In my opinion, for general browsing, Maxthon is probably one of the best as one of you had say, it really is smooth and everything is just rendered so well!
However, due to the common sites that I browse.. e.g. facebook for instance, when on the desktop site with Maxthon, and you're trying to view pictures, when the photo pops up infront of the news feed, it cancels the capability to scroll up and down to view the comments, instead it scrolls up and down the background which is the news feed.
And another disappointment is still the full screen capability of videos.
But either than, really happy with it.
However, I tried doing a comparison with sites and loading time, and trying to quickly clicking from one link to another with the stock and maxthon, both seemed almost equally matched.
the stock browser on the ICS of the prime does work really great but... it may be the look of the Maxthon that has won me over. But I still switch from one browser to another depending on my purpose.
Personally I'm a huge fan of Dolphin Browser HD. I use it on my Skyrocket and downloaded it last night on my Prime. So far so good!

I use to play with other browsers but since ICS came out it has been the smoothest browser of them all, uninstalled all the others.
After ICS I uninstalled all other browsers. Stock one is great.
I really like stock browser too, I just wish there was a way to keep it in desktop mode by default. That's the only thing that really bothers me about the stock browser.
That's the reason I'm using ICS Browser+. Its the same browser as the stock one but with the added bonus of selecting a user agent so it can remain in desktop mode along with some other goodies.
I really suggest it to anyone who likes the stock browser but wants a little more out of it. As a plus the developer is a part of this forum and is open to suggestions on new features.
What browsers are you all using? Why do you like it. I was using stock for a while, and recently switched to opera, but i am finding it quirky and a little flaky.
Depends on what your needs are. If you want a quick, touch based interface, stick with Opera. The UI just got updated and it's a lot easier. It can also download through filehosts. Otherwise, if you're using an external mouse, try chrome beta or maxthon. They have small, hard to touch buttons, but the mouse makes it feel more natural. Chrome is still in beta though and it crashes rarely.
I don't like, on opera, how often when I click on the page, it zooms. I also had several posts that I did on facebook that showed up there, but when I used another browser they were not there. There are some other issues that don't come to mind now.

What UI elements did they change in Opera? I keep wanting to switch, but I utterly can't stand not having visible tabs on top.
Additionally, the stock browser and ICS+ have spoiled me beyond return with site specific desktop agent mode. I think that is my most critical feature at this point.
I really like Boat Browser. Very fast, simple but very configurable interface and options, stable, and supports Flash.

I like chrome but no flash support. Granted I don't need flash all that much so it it generally fine to use even with fingers. I don't know why someone said it has small buttons. If I need flash I just use the stock browser. I don't know why everyone insists on NOT using it. I like chrome because I can access my desktop bookmarks and that pretty much the only reason.

I've been using Boat browser, since it didn't crash that much, but have been lately switching back to ICS+ since I like the quick controls.
I've been using Boat Browser most of the time since it supports Flash, desktop mode works for most sites and I can easily adjust the fonts for my dang old eyes.
ICS Browser +
Only browser not to force close on me yet. Absolutely love it. Shame i cant use it on my phone which has gingerbread.
Maxthon Browser
I've been happy with Maxthon. Never heard of it until I ran across it in the app store. Redraws are very fast, autosizes to wide pages, has gestures, etc. Very few add-ons, but seems to do the job. I have version 1.5
Another vote for Boat, and I think I've tried all of them.
But the best is doing a remote desktop and using Firefox on Windows.
Since .13 update i am using stock browser. It is far more stable and pretty fine. I have chrome, Firefox, opera and dolphin inhaled. The second preferred is dolphin.
Had some keyboard issues with Chrome Beta, so sticking with the stock browser: seems stable.
Prefer the Chrome bookmarking though.
FG
Opera mobile used to be good but now it crashes all the time.I suggest Boat browser & Dolphin HD.
I kinda swap between Opera and Chrome although i will probably go straight to Chrome as soon as it's out of beta cause it's hella fast at the moment and will probably just get faster. The only thing I don't get is why they didn't release it earlier.
I use Opera if I want to 'chrome-to-phone' and download something, otherwise I use Chrome for everything else.

I use Maxthon Browser because it has a really good Advanced Gesture add-on that allows you to draw symbols on the webpage to navigate (back, forward, home, history, close tab, etc.)
Stock ICS.

I seem to be having the same issue with whatever browser I use. Must be the ROM i guess?

Dolphin also has this feature.
Last time I checked, Dolphin made you hit the hand button before a gesture would be a recognized. Maxthon seemed quicker and more accurate.

I use Dolphin HD. I like the ability to sync bookmarks between my Android devices.
Just downloaded Firefox beta seems to be fast. Was using dolphin, But I did not like how some of the pages were jumbled up.

I use Opera Mobile to sync across all my devices. That, and it is pretty fast too.
Opera, tried them all and it's the only one I can ever get comfortable with.
Was using Dolphin and Opera for a while, but both started hanging up on me. I'd have to force close and restart a lot (more so with Dolphin than with Opera). Now I'm using Maxthon and it works well.
My browser has to have incognito mode. If you know what I mean.
:wink:
currently using the latest version of Firefox from the Play store on the latest build of CM9. Little jagged on the scrolling, as expected from the notes on CM9, but very usable otherwise
I use xscope browser. It may not be the most polished, but I am visually impaired, so I need to be able to zoom in on mobile sites, and most of the popular browsers won't allow that. I can put up with a few annoyances in order to be able to read the text on the screen. Xscope is especially helpful on my rooted evo 4g.
I'm using the stock only because I don't have it rooted. Haven't decided if I'm going to yet or not.
I didn't care for Dolphin HD and a dude from BN recommended Penguin, but that was terrible. I wish they would just update the stock. I hate that some pages are not compatible with it.
I've started using Boat browser for just about everything, and I really enjoy it. It has everything I liked about Dolphin, without all the extra stuff I didn't care about. I think I'll also give Chrome a shot, but Boat has been good.
was using dolphin HD but some times was not loading pages so moved to dolphin hd mini
