I love Chrome and with the hardware the S3 has it runs so smooth. I've read on a few different forums that it is a battery drainer but It doesn't have a huge impact on battery life on my phone. A few others that are worth noting and trying out for yourself would be Dolphin Browser HD, ICS+ Browser and Firefox.

Use Maxthon, it's freaking sweet!

Miren. Previously only available as the stock MIUI browser. It's awesome!
That we won't get.

Netscape Navigator!
navigator 2 rocked, 3 is too mainstream with its gimmicky "JavaScript" fad

+1 boat browser

firefox iss good
been using Opera without any problems
I second Miren Browser!
Been using the stock browser and Miren, but tried Boat mini and it is my favorite now by far.
Used to have Dolphin HD but it kept getting larger/bloated. Tried Maxthon and I love it and have kept it ever since. Very very fast browser.
Here's a vote for boat mini. Superb. Been playing with the sensation for a week or so... (the browser of which doesn't support desktop page display... Hence the browser search)...
Boat's by far the fastest I've toyed with.
Been using Xscope Pro for the longest. May have to check out boat.
Boat browser's really nice. Glad people suggested it.
Dolphin hd, everytime I tried opera I get problems (like youtube videos being 60x60 pixels)l, and not letting me log in on sprint.com). I also really like the tab setup on dolphin. I tried maxthon (loved the skin) but it was a tad laggy. Though, that was a few months back.

[Question] Best Web Browser

I have been using dolphin hd for the longest amount of time and to be honest I'm getting tired of the simplicity of the app and the lack of full customization, would someone be able to point me in the right direction of a browser that would most likely fit me

But it sucks as far as downloading is concerned...I recommend ucweb browser for powerful downloads at high speeds,opera for data saving ,dolphin/stock for flash!

adblocker?
opera mobile doesnt have ads
anyhow
My fav is Stock on wifi/3G, Opera Mini on 2G
Dolphin Mini. It has all the benefits of webkit (like stock browser) but it's much faster and supports tabbed and fullscreen browsing.
I don't like how Opera modifies the page layout and text looks blurry IMO.
dolphin mini too.
Dolphin HD, I'd say. Started with Dolphin Mini but didn't like the UI and Opera had some compatibility problems with some of the pages I visit the most (in both versions). Its a shame 'cause I liked it better, even though it had little customization options.
Dolphin mini, as opera mini had some graphics tearing issue on some websites
you might also try xscope
Right now, i'm using Boat Browser, which i really like. Also a fan of Ninesky and Puffin

Thank you for the recommendations guess, but it looks like Boat was the best one after trying all other browsers, open to more suggestions,

I recommend Maxthon Browser, have been using it for a while now and it works really well. One feature that stands out for me that I haven't seen it in any other browsers is support for gestures (I know dolphin introduced this feature before but the way it's implemented in Maxthon is more convenient IMO)
Is no one using skyfire?
And to block ads, use adfree. It affects all browsers.

[Q] Chrome is taking too much memory

Has anyone encountered this problem on ICS stock ROM? is this a known issue?
the pages need to reload most of the time after you switch tabs.
nobody is using chrome for android?
Well i have used it but didnt like it seemed slugish but i might be crazy...

Chrome seems to use a lot of ram, but it doesn't slow the phone down for me or anything.
Dolphin +1

Dolphin +2
I use Firefox and stock browser. Chrome is choppy and very slow. Also lags a lot.

Chrome seems a bit laggy Nd ish when it comes to a certain time during usage.
Dolphin Browser seems to do the magic. So +1

[Q] Google Chrome or Dolphin Browser?

I'm looking to replace my stock browser on my Galaxy S III. I use chrome on my computer so the syncing is a good thing. But I like the add-on & flash support that dolphin has. Which do you all feel is better?
I love my stock browser on my Aokp GS3. And love it.

Well.tried a couple and still went back to stock. Would use chrome if it had full screen

Best browser

Hey lads, I'm just wondering which would you guys say is the browser than runs the best on galaxy s 3 e.g speed, ram usage ect.. I've always been told dolphin but it just seems a bit too heavy for my liking so I'd just like to know your opinions? Cheers.

I thought chrome beta was decent. There are a few quirks with a beta, but the data compression feature was worth it.
