Chrome is good because it lets me sync all my desktop history/bookmarks/tabs onto it. But it lacks in speed/features compared to other browsers.
I'm using Next browser right now and it's blazing fast compared to chrome. It also has flash capability. But it lacks the ability to sync all my desktop chrome history etc. Also it doesn't block ads with AdBlock plus as well as Chrome does. Looking for a browser that has all of these if possible.

dolphin browser seems to fit the bill for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
dolphin syncs bookmarks and history from both firefox and desktop chrome simultaneously, and it supports flash. i think Boat browser and UC Browser HD have some type of bookmark sync as well with flash. I personally use Dolphin as my daily driver, and UC Browser because it has an inverted text nightmode plus a cool fullscreen widget
BTW Next browser DOES sync with chrome, at least bookmarks
My 2 favorites are the AOSP Browser with built in chromesync (search the store for the installer), and Browser NBPro for it's blazing speed and understated features.
Next Browser
My favorite browser is the Next Browser. It runs fast and stable for me. Also has some extensions and works with a Chrome extension called "Next Sync Plus". My browser of choice even though I tried almost all of them. I say, stick with it.
To clarify a bit more, you need the Chrome extension to sync.
"With Next Browser Sync Plus, you can sync bookmarks directly to your mobile devices in Next Browser."
I'm aware that next browser syncs with chrome. I want something that can also sync my chrome history because I use that more on chrome than my actual bookmarks
Anyway tried out dolphin and its good, but it's basically the same thing as next browser.

it also does sync your open tabs which i dont think Next does
As far as I know only Chrome syncs everything. Don't think there's an Api for things like the open tabs. Like I said, I used almost all the browsers and Next seems to be the best one. The browser with the best compatability is Chrome. Those are both options you're not looking for, but I personally can't find the perfect browser. So I guess I can't be of any help.
For all in one purposes I use the torch browser since it functions as a chromium based browser, but has a bunch of preset extensions for site unblocking and downloading videos and other content.
Boat Browser... and some specs of Mozzilla
general internet i use chrome, sometimes dolphin. for sites that need flash i use firefox. dolphin seems to play only 7 seconds then freezes on some flash videos.
Boat browser.
It's the only one that has everything I need:
Text reflow
Multiwindow ability
Address bar that stays at the top when you scroll down the page
Fast

Yes Boat by far less lag and not so much BS attached. Flash works well with it too.
Boat Browser crashed a lot on my Note.
Is there a browser with an internal flash player, as Adobe's gets less and less useable w/o updates?
Apart from the flash issue, im happy with Dolphin. But on the Note lots of Dolphin's plugins disappear from within the app, once their launcher icons get deleted. They will also not show in the drawer, but are still installed.
Any other browsers (besides Boat) with floating capability? ie. for multiwindow browsing.
Do you use cache to sd setting on boat browser?.l don't see a difference.
Firefox
I use firefox for flash. Been using is since Nexus 7. I still use Chrome for most non-flash browsing.

I have found that when I install dolphin HD that it works but is not the default. I set it for default in dolphin and it will work as default as long as I don't close it. However, if i close it, the phone reverts to the android (I assume) browser and I then have to go back into dolphin and tell it to be default again. I would like to disable the android browser so that when I hit the browser button on the dock it defaults to it because there is no other choice. I have titanium backup and root.
I really want dolphin because it integrates lastpass much better and with using lastpass I have some crazy passwords for my websites that are generated, which makes it impossible to get into without it. I also want to eliminate the choice popup every time I use a browser.
Thanks kindly in advance...

When you hit the "browser" button on your dock it should give you an option of whether you'd like to use the stock android browser or dolphin. after you chose dolphin you can also check the box that say make this the default action.
Alternatively, go to settings > applications > dolphin to mess with the default settings there.
Is there a way to make Google Chrome show pages in desktop mode, like you can do with the Dolphin browser? My Chrome browser is fast, but it only shows pages in mobile computer mode, which I don't like. I've checked through the settings and menus, but can't find any way to change it to desktop mode. Thanks.

Nevermind! I found it. It was right in front of me. Sorry for being so dumb!
One of the few things I do not like about this device is the lack of a native browser. I feel like so many things are broken on websites with the default Chrome. I have tried Dolphin, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, UC Browser and a few others I have forgotten. Some work on certain sites, some freeze, some don't, some load content others do not. I hate having to use certain browsers for certain sites, (one of the only things I actually liked about my Galaxy S6 was its browser.)
Any other suggestions for a browser that I might be missing? I feel like I have tried most of the highly rated ones.
I'm using Adblock browser, pretty happy with it.
Other than the stock browser app, which browser are you guys using and/or have you found to work best?
Every browser works to its full potential there's nothing about le max 2 that limits any browser. That said I use Chrome mainly cause my 1st android was a Nexus device and have mainly gravitated to those or Motorola who use Chrome as stock. Same when cyanogen reskinned Chrome. Chrome or die @$&% !!
I'm curious to know which mobile browser you'd recommend using? I've been using Dolphin, which has been fine (great even) but after a recent update it has begun crashing repeatedly. I've been doing my research and I've been learning that if I turn off the Ad Blocking setting then it won't crash as often if at all (but then you're left open to the screen entirety ads among other things). I've also been learning that Dolphin isn't so great with privacy and data mining (correct?). I tried uninstalling Dolphin 12.0.2 and going with an older version from the XDA site but alas there's been little to no improvement.
So I've been looking at other browsers. I know to stay away from CM, the Cheetah Mobile browser, but what else is out there? I'm thinking about the stock Chrome browser that all Android devices come with but really don't care for it which is why I found Dolphin in the first place. I like the Samsung browser which I've seen in the Play Store and gave a test drive to. I also like Opera...
Also of interest. Apparently Dolphin is able to access my Google account and rebuild itself after a fresh install, whether I've uninstalled it and then installed it again or switched devices. This has been very helpful and allowed me to just pick up where I left off, but I've also become invested in the Dolphin ecosystem and it seems to be the only browser that'll access this. I'd like to just pull my favorites from one browser to another. Chrome won't do this, when I sign in I get an amalgamation of what's on the PC version of Chrome for both the computers I use at work and at home... I really don't want the two to commingle as there's stuff on both that I don't want on my mobile, and needless to say if I save a favorite on my mobile I don't want it showing up at work for unknowledgable eyes to possibly see.
So any help would be appreciated...
I use chrome. Never had issues.
