[Q] Boat Browser: Add Bookmark? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so I got fed up with how sluggish Dolphin HD can be at times and decided to use Boat Browser.
My only question is, how do you add bookmarks?...
I figured out how delete current ones but thats about it.
ive used Dolphin Mini, Opera & Skyfire. I just want to give this one a try.

Hit the + symbol when on the page you want to bookmark.

Best Android Browser

I use stock but I hear there's better. What's best browser for the atrix
Sent from Atrix ;-)
Dolphin Browser HD (spring for the license, or find it on the web). Some good add-ons for it too. Use desktop mode.
I really want to like Firefox Mobile, as I am a big Firefox fan, but the current beta just isn't all that. DolphinHD is pretty awesome for the Atrix.
Dolphin here as well. Faster and better than the sticker. I also have skyfire, but haven't played with it much. Used to use it on my iphone to play some flash videos.
Dolphin HD works slower than the Firefox beta for me.
I use Miren.

Dolphin HD. Also Opera Mini when only edge available.

dolphin hd is slower than stock, but allows you to go to desktop sites by default if you configure it. No matter how many times you try, frequently the stock browser will not allow you to go to desktop sites.
The smoothest browser in terms of navigating a webpage is opera mobile 10 hands down (not mini). pinch to zoom is really smooth compared to any other android browser. too bad it doesn't work on the atrix yet and no flash support.

I like dolphin because it allows me to watch Hulu on my phone (after some slight modification of course). For general surfing and especially if you have a non-unlimited plan I would use Opera. It's faster and compresses stuff you have less data usage.

Agreed... I think a lot of people haven't tried/heard of it, but it's beyond solid.
I like dolphin mini or mobile. Works prefect and it's faster than stock and dolphin hd
Xda app via atrix
Best Browser
I have tried them all except that miren one you guys are talking about, I will give it a shot however If you haven't tried Xscope 6 then your missing out. Ive been sing it for months now. Its great. Its very lite and fast. you have nothing to lose by trying it.
OK well I just installed Miren after i made this post and I gotta say its a fantastic browser, Ive only been using it for a few minutes so I cant say I like it better than Xscope yet but I will give it more time.
Miren is really good. Just checked it out, and it is perfect.
Currently using:
-Miren (Default)
-Opera Mini (when not on wifi/on edge)
-Dolphin HD (Only when I want to watch something on Hulu)
I'd been a fan of Xscope until Miren. Miren is at least as fast as Xscope and has a nicer UI, I think. It's a great browser.

[Q] Best Internet Browser to you ?

Which is the best internet browser to you ? Thanks
Dolphin HD Browser
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why is that your Favorite ?
I just started using xScope Pro, and I have to say I prefer this over any other browsers I have used including Dolphin and Opera.
If you don't want to give xScope a try, I would say go with Dolphin as a second choice.
why is that one good ?
I use the stock version, and Opera Mobile the most.
Never got into Dolphin/HD that much, and used to love Skyfire until they starting charging for using flash. Latest updates made Skyfire more buggy too...

Stock Browser is my favorite. sometimes, I use Miren browser.

Dolphin mini, has taps and more
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Stock.
And yes, I tried to use pretty much every browser on the market... and I always come back to stock.
I'm also using stock.
It's the best. Everything is working...
Opera Mobile has been the best imo. Tabbed browsing made easy..flash..option for Desktop so no more redirecting to mobile sites. IMO Opera is the fastest i've used. Stock tabbed browsing sucks imo..and Dolphin HD seems a little slow to me..almost bloated. I've also used Dolphin Mini for the odd site..
I quite like Dolphin HD. I started using it as back ages ago I didn't have flash running on my android tablet unless I used this browser. IT kind of became my first choice on my phone. I also like the interface, the speed, and the finger gesture browsing.
Dolphin Browser HD

Because Dolphin is quicker than the original browser and it's easier to switch between tabs...
I use it since 2-3 months and I never had a force close !
For me it's really the best browser in the android Market

With CM7 PB2, dolphin hd and Miren foul up the flash for me. I have used opera mobile and the CM7 stock browser, and I can't come up with enough reasons not to use the stock one.

I like the "feel" of xScope. I have found it to be the smoothest and by far the fastest browser I have used. Has just the right amount of options without going into overkill, and for me the tabbed browsing works best with xScope Pro.
At the end of the day it is all down to personal preference. I kept going back to stock, then Dolphin, then back to stock, yadda yadda..............Haven't wanted to go back to stock since I installed this one.
I'm currently using Dolphin HD also. I like the easier access to the tabs at the top. The speed dial home of DHD is very handy and convienent. I'm not into gesturing in any bit but I'm sure other people would ultilize it more than me.
I tried the Opera mini one but didn't like the "scrunched" up look of it. The website/pages didn't look right or how it's suppose to be.
I like the stock browser.. tried out dolphin browser and ut was really cool but it didn't seem ti perform as well for me
After trying them all I stuck with Skyfire as the fastest with all round compatibility with sites I was viewing. Though with the latest OTA update I have found the stock browser is meeting all my needs, though I don't browse the web a huge amount from my phone.

The CM7 browser is IMO the BEST browser out of any browser. I love how you can change user agents to MAC or Linux machine. Not all websites let you go to desktop, for instance if you want to run the actual flash speedtest.net without being dragged to the app you can. There are tons of other websites I'm just not thinking of. Plus the incognito mode is awesome
So I just tried XScope and I believe I am liking it instead of Dolphin so far.

Why don't the chefs Cookdifferent browser into roms, is there anyway I can replace my Web browser with a new one for the bottom of my screen where the stock one is?

Easy just download the browser of your choice, go into the app drawer hit the menu button, switch the view to customizable grid and remove the stock browser and drag the browser of your choice. Then set it as your default.

fyi, sounds like you might not have known from your first post, but yes you can swap out ANY of the apps/shortcuts in your bottom bar EXCEPT the APP icon (brings up the app menu, then switches to home button)
marnel47 gave you brief instructions, i found a video on youtube of a guy changing it for the galaxy S, but same instructions apply for the galaxy S II, so after you get your new broswer installed, check out this video to change the icons out...

More specifically, replace the stock browser with Opera Mobile.
Thanks very much

I'm trying to decide between Opera and Dolphin. Is there a favorite around here, especially with a powerfully phone like ours?
Both are fast browsers. opera is not quite as fully functional as dolphin, but may be a bit faster.
I prefer dolphin as I like fully functional full media browser, but for minimalists who place a high priority on lightweight and speed opera is best. Both browsers are faster at rendering pages than the stock browser. But opera uses a little less ram than dolphin, although we have plenty of ram available on our phone.

Last I knew Firefox can't multi task. Everytime you close it, it starts at your home page.

Dolphin is amazing. The plugins, ease if use, speed, all amazing.
One plugin let's you Swype right to left to access the plugin drawer, and then touch an icon to switch between desktop and mobile view.
Bookmark backup and sync with the stock browser, and across multiple Android devices.
Theme support, regular updates, and lots of plugins that do cool stuff.

Dolphin mini. Unless it's changed, dolphin hd was a little too busy for me. I was always making it swipe to bookmarks menu unintentionally, etc. Dolphin mini is very lightweight and speedy.

you can turn off the swiping settings for dolphin hd.
I use dolphin for full pages and stock for mobile (default browser).
Stock browser mostly. I have Opera Mobile installed. Only ever use Opera Mobile for a secondary Facebook account.. And I'm rarely in it. Opera Mobile always has javascript problems on many websites. Even pc Opera has jsp issues. I have used Dolphin HD. It's very nice but it has very poor memory management. It will consume a ginormous amount of RAM in no time. Don't get me wrong, I like Dolphin, but using over 118mb on a simple image search in Google.. lol. That's ridiculous. I hadn't even gotten around to opening a single image when it started slowing down. Needs a little work. Just my opinion. No gripes..
I like Xscope. It's faster than stock, faster even than Dolphin Mini. It has themes available, doesn't use massive amounts of memory, and just plain works with ease. It's easily in my top 5 best paid apps list.

An extended (touch & hold) on a link will open a context menu. Then select open the link in a new tab. Is what works in Dolphin HD.
I've never used the default browser.

Just tried to do that, but, each time I try for a new tab Dolphin Mini loads and I get the tab in there. I haven't got a lot of good things to say about the stock browser. Probably because I use Dolphin on the phone and also the NT.
