...is the best I've tried. Samsung's "Picsel" browser's interesting but ultimately not as good.
Try opera mini 4 beta. Very similar to deepfish with a virtual mouse. (Little buggy now. The VM keeps crashing.)
it is in a .jad file...how do i install it?...
try opera mini with ibm j9

...wha?...
I'd recommend the beta opera mobile browser, not the Java one. Its free until october and is the best I've used (but picsel is pretty cool too).

Makes PIE look like complete rubbish, which it is.
why bash PIE?
it hasnt got a proper update for only 4 years?
Rather impressive that a four year old browser can do anything the rate sites are progressing!

deepfish-copy?
Except Deepfish has the pages rendered on MS's servers, then sent to the phone. That means 2x as slow, and no interactivity (no flash, no clicking on links). This is actually rendering the page on the phone.
I just want to know when is this going to be released? Does anyone know?
They are making a beta soon, but haven't released it yet.
hopefully they will let 8.65 owners use the same registration code...

Errrm, does my Opera 8.5 code let me upgrade to 8.65? Wouldn't hope too much
Anyway, what happened to v.9?
Looks good tho', and I though 8.65 looked quite nice. Only problem is the same thing that stopped me buying Opera (again) last time which is the exchange rate on the store.
All I need is to need more than Opera Mini
Its probably gonna be an upgrade for the 8.X series users and then 9.5 would probably another purchase and 9.0 would probably a better 8.x series.

Why would deepfish be 2x as slow ?
it does 2x more path to reach your cell, but not 2x slower...
Basically that's what Opera Mini does : preprocessing on the server side, for optimised bandwidth & screen usage. (Blackberry servers also do that)
But back to Opera Mobile 9.5: I hope that will offer much better experience than Opera Mini (which is already the best IMHO)
Just because if they want us to pay, that has to be worth the money
-Delete for Brainfart moment
I saw the video for this today - cannot wait for the release!
Love opera 9.5 for PC so this could actually be something i'd pay for on WM
What about Skyfire.
http://www.skyfire.com/
The fact that it is free is great.
Its great how all these great web browsers are still in beta
After reading a comment related to netfront, I gave it a try.
These folks have made big improvements, the visual bookmarks are sexy
The browsing is fast like an Opera...
Now I'll hesitate between Opera Mini, Netfront 3.5 and Opera 9.5 if it goes public soon
What web browsers do people use? Ive been using opera mobile but it is annoying how when you scroll down on the page it scrolls from link to link. Is there anything in which you can move around the page freely? or am i using opera wrong?
thanks
I personally wouldn't mind a browser such as the safari browser.

Yes, just drag the page around with the stylus rather than using the d-pad.
Try Netfront. I have installed it yesterday and happy with it.
I love Opera Mini - by far the best IMO.
I want skyfire, but I have yet to get my beta invite.
Well Opera mini for me is so far the fastest browser. I try netfront 3.5 and I must say that I like the zoom feature really much but a bit slow.
I've been using NetFront for about a month and it's been meeting my needs. I agree that it's a bit slow at times (zoom activities and loading), but my guess this is due to debug code rather than a core rendering issue.
I'd like to see another drop from NetFront, so if you have problems please provide feedback on the NetFront website.
opera mini got my vote. I love how speedy it is. By far the best.
I have opera mobile not mini and i think is a great browser the download manager is great not like the IE that sometime damage the files when downloading . . .
Iam using Opera 9.5 beta love it!!
And waiting for skyfire..

I tried that but I had the following problems:
1
Sometimes the results are so massive you get lost
2
You are often left flat with no results at all

As a middle aged man you can have problems with the Campus Police.

Here's the one I use. Not sure which one I downloaded from the site, it is a bit of mess.

Opera Mobile Problem
I've searched around and haven't found anything relevant to this. When i last flashed to a rom and went to install my Opera mobile cab i had not problems but i cannot access a secure website with it now. Maybe I'm just stupid and have a setting wrong but i haven't be able to find it. Any help (including redirection) would be appreciated.
I tried installing opera mini and it doesn't appear on installed programs, neither it appears on file explorer...

Open the Java application in "Applications" it should be listed there. Then use the search function or hit up google to find out how to make shortcuts.
has some problems working with the touch interface since its java derived now, its just the opera mini

Opera Mini is really bad... Opera Mobile was pretty good (on Windows Mobile atleast).

I have to disagree. I found using ie explorer on my mda vario and even other windows mobile devices painfully slow. Once i tried opera mini i never went back. Web browsing on my mda vario with opera mini is still faster than the g1 with googles browser.
Dont get me wrong i love googles browser and the browsing is no where near as slow as what my vario was. But when opera mini comes out, if it works ill be using it.
The only downside to using opera mini i found was somewhat buggy downloads on occasions and not being able to copy links. Also on forums where you click images to enlarge didnt work.
Opera mini might even save you on battery since it reduces how much you have to download.
Its in the market now, opera 4.2 beta! Still it isnt as good as 3g internet of g1.
Stock browser much better
why even release something that isn't as good as the browser that comes with the phone?
I had a samsung instinct (sprint) and the stock browser was so bad (along with every other feature of the phone, except voice searching... still waiting google!!!) that this opera mini would have made the instinct feel like you've switched from a 56k modem to cable.
for the G1 on the other hand, this app is about as useful as 2 @$$holes (I guess 2 would be very useful if you were a porn star ). Still no imbedded flash and slower than stock, what was the point opera? Embarresment? Is the full version going to be that much better? I mean compared to beta, can't be much worst.
I'm sure the newer pda/smartphone/ppc users will revel in a commercial company converting a dumbphone program for the G1 (which shouldn't be dumbphone program compatible!!), but if you've been around the block with these gadgets (I've been around since original tungstens) then you'll understand why I am ranting about the flood of useless apps.
i couldnt agree more santos alot of the market apps are pointless makes g1 and android which is so great look bad
opera mini is aimed at people with limited download allowance, or who dont have 3g. i wouldnt use it because 3g in my area is great and i have a 10gb allowance. so might as well use it.
i think the browser speed of the G1 is phenominal, its just a shame its not as smooth as on my iphone 3g - certainly i find it a lot less convenient for quickly googling things. im hoping the Cupcake update will see me move away from the iPhone entirely but i feel im drifting off topic a little here...
anyway - for those that need it Opera Mini is the app they dream of; for those that dont it is a pointless application.
And to those who install it to save their batteries, well maybe you should think about whether this device is really for you.

You said it all in one question. I agree.
anyone else tried the new fennec mobile browser from mozilla? Just gave it a shot today. still an alpha release, i believe. could turn out to be a decent browser, but still a little jerky gui, but it seems to navigate to new sites quick enough.
Here is the post with the cab.

Unfortunately your phone only has 64Mb of RAM. We’re targeting phones with 128Mb or more for the best experience.

WTF. I love Firefox on my desktops, but I doubt I'm ever going to use it Mobile.
I tried it the other day, I think it sucks.
I do uses FF on my PC though.
All,
I tried Dolphin HD browser and it was really great. Its got lot of innovative features. But its not much of use on Galaxy S i guess, because within minutes of using it bcomes horribly slow. Each tap almost takes seconds for the app to respond. Even the scrolling is equally bad.
I really dont want to uninstall this browser. Does anybody have any tweaks to make it usable ? Do all galaxy S users feel the same or it works okay on others.
Any comments will be helpful.
yes, don't use dolphin
use skyfire, it is the fastest one
2nd fast is opera mini
According to the maker of Dolphin it had some issues in the later builds. But now it is more focused on speed improvements.
Opera is good. Hasn't tested skyfire on android. Didn't like it much all those years ago on PPC. The issue with Opera is when u use it for rapidshare or megadownload for instance (when u get the count down to the link) it is not updating. Probably because of the proxy to Opera. Turning this off hasn't worked for me.
Good luck!
Wow, if the makes of dolphin really work on improving the speed, I will be one happy camper.
Haven't uninstalled dolphin yet, hoping for a fix to come soon.

dolphin is one heck of a good browser, but the speed is horrible
my 10 years old Palm Treo loads faster than that
and the Treo was known to have the worse browser on the planet at that time

Guys, I tried Skyfire. Many people suggested that its very fast and all for Galaxy.
however, I am seeing the same sluggishness with Skyfire as well. The pages load fast but the browser acts very slugish. The taps dont respond well, the scrolling gets held up at places etc.
Still searching for a better stock browser replacement.
Anybody?
What's wrong with the stock one? I find it very good!!
Tried xscope? Best non proxy browser imho

Dolphin update: v 3.1.1
It's as smooth as Silk. Amazing improvement. NOW, it is the best I can say.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes the new version of Dolphin HD has much better performance. Now I'm happy to use it as my default browser
Have just installed the latest version and after spending a little time with it, I think it's better than opera for me
From my Galaxy S loonie-phone
3.1.1 ?? I can only find 3.0 ?!?
Its faster but I'm just not used to it, I think I'm too used to Xscope
Yeah, How do I acquire dolphin browser hd 3.1.1 ? Market shows 3.0 to be the latest...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm sure he uses just dolphin browser not dolphin browser HD.
Dolphin browsers latest version is 3.1.1 but HDs latest version 3.0.

Oh, I see... That makes more sense.... Well, does that mean that the regular dolphin browser is better than dolphin browser hd ?
P.S. I didn't find dolphin browser hd 3.0 any faster than 2.x as opposed to how it's advertised. Good browser all over, but I didn't notice any major (performance) improvements. Is it just me ?

Sorry after reading the post I went back to see market and appbrain. They both show 3.0 only. I might have seen just the dolphin brower I guess. BUT, I just upgraded the HD browser from market and I am sure I have dolphin HD. I see a nice HD on my icon.
The speed and the general handling is completely different and smooth now. The performance improvement is easily notice able
Sorry for all the confusion guys, I guess was just to excited seeing the speed.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Continuing from my previous post, are you guys saying that you have upgraded to latest version yesterday and stol not seeing the improvements?
If you haven't, I suggest you upgrade.market will show you that an upgrade is available for them.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have upgraded to 3.0 but it still is kinda slow. Although I haven't tested it with wifi cause my connection is down.
Still the built in browser is faster than dolphin HD with 3g.
I used only dolphin hd when I had desire and really liked it but in galaxy it is just too slow.
I have JM2 installed if it makes any difference...
