Well
I think Chrome even if it´s not a beta anymore, it´s a very young browser, fast in fact but very limitated in other functions, maybe in a couple of years is going to be a great option, but by now I´ll stick to the majestic Opera!

nice browser ... shame its not on mac yet

Oh well,. yeah,. thanks for the info guys!!,. i am downloading now,. hehe,. last time i download before i format my PC, it say Google Chrome BETA,.

Some issues I run into (I've used it since day one of it's release to the public):
Flash videos work off and on. This seems to be consistent, I will go to play a youtube video and will need to restart the browser because the audio or video will not play.
Spellcheck sucks.
Very few add on's. Add on's are what make firefox so great.
Some pages just do not interact well with Chrome. If you go to a lot of message boards you know what I mean.
Highlighting anything is a PIA. Many times you will will try to highlight one individual word and end up with long blank fields. When you copy and paste it then just comes up blank with the whole field minus the word...WTF??
Other then those few things it's a great browser and I use it full time for work and play.

Ive got a portable version if anyone is interested and doesnt want to actually install it.
Send me a pm if you fancy it

I.M.O not enough to it yet, security wise i can beef up Firefox, don't like Google policies & i need a browser that works efectively on UMPC so Firefox 3 it is...

One of co workers installed chrome on my computer at work so I gave it a try. I started using it more and more since it starts up in half the time IE, or Firefox does. Since then I've been using it ever since. I don't need the fancy plug-ins from firefox and IE just plain sucks. Easy choice IMO.
Also its no longer in beta.

I would recommend switching to "SRWare Iron" as it is Chrome without all the Spyware Crap that Google put into the Browser (Unique ID, constantly running updater and stuff like that).
It is based on Chromium, which is the base for Google Chrome.
It even looks and handles the same as Chrome & Chromium...

I used Chrome since the beta because I preferred the look of it.
Thanks to this thread - I'm now using SRWare Iron which I'll keep an eye on too..
Cheers.

Oh, thankyou, so now i am not wrong if google chrome ever have a beta version,. lol

After I using Iron for a week I switched back to chrome. Spellcheck doesn't work, and its slower to load pages. The privacy issue isn't a problem because there are programs which remove your unique ID and you can simply disable sending google your browsing information in the options menu. The only thing that Iron has going for it over Chrome is a better looking icon.

Chrome Rocks!

I to have been using google chrome since the earlly beta.
to clear things up, There are two version available. Stable releases and a "developer" version (which is like a beta version.)
Personally i love the broswer for its speed but like already mentioned, it doesn't like all websites. I can't stand IE so i keep firefox around incase i have problems. Things are getting beter all the time for chrome though (for example it used to be almost useless for facebook and now its basically fully compatible) I'm proud to say its my default browser

This became a POLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the top if you know any other tell me! to include it!

Ok, voted already,.

What da...????
Who includes the Internet explorer 8 beta that dont includes the link to the download?
Come on guys... share it share it share it....!

Its buggy on doughnut, but the market post says thats being worked on.
Fix that and add a couple of things from Loccys build (hide notification and multi-touch) and i would switch
Smooth on my side (cm 4.1.999), great browser. Especially the gesture recognition! And the tabs ... wow
But missing MT!
I can't figure out how to work the zoom on this otherwise amazing browser. Hints anyone?
alexnick: Long press on the page itself, you'll get something similar to Steel browser ^^, with the zoom in and out buttons.
I like how it caches pages and allows you freely move among pages without having to reload them when opening the next window/tab, unlike the default browser. IMO this is really the better browser for a G1 due to the lower memory capacity than the other newer android phones. Unless of course you are rooted, then either way it is still a great browser. I have uninstalled steel because I no longer need it. RSS ability makes this a killer app.
Does anyone know if Mozilla Firefox will be releasing web browser for android?
wow...with integrated GBookmarks and GTasks!
Really a cool app.
The best "aftermarket" browser yet...great work!

Hide notification is an option when pressing the menu button - which I LOVE because it is easy to turn on/off!
I really LIKE this browser - much faster on my phone the Loccy's/Stock!
Yeah he added full screen with the latest build.
I must admit I have switched from Loccys superb browser to this, just due to the fact it has full screen. I love Loccys build but that extra little bit at the top just makes the difference to me (I know its a small difference, but there you go)
Not convinced on the gestures, but you cat have everything.
amazing browser bro! Great job!
just downloaded latest version with lots of new features and all i can say is WOW
I just tried installing this from the market, and it completely messed up my phone. It started by forcing my phone to reboot before it could install all the way. It then continued to force close whenever I tried to open it. Then my stock browser wouldn't open without a fc. Then core processes started force closing every ten seconds, preventing me from obtaining any information from log collector. I've uninstalled and rebooted to try and fix the issue, but none of it changes.
I also noticed that I can't access some of my apps anymore after trying to install this. I haven't seen anyone else leaving comments about this issue, what is wrong with my phone? I'd really like to try this browser, especially for the supposed multitouch support for cyanogenmod roms. Can everyone else install and use the Dolphin browser just fine?

I actually did do that sometime in between reboots, without knowing what it actually does. I didn't notice any change though. I tried repairing the ext filesystem, then fix apk uid mismatches, then updated to the most recent CM rom and fixed permissions.
My phone still refuses to run the app. I don't feel like formatting just to have this browser, but I don't want to have this problem for other apps in the future... so I'm going to format anyway.
I'm running C< 4.2.3.1 and I just installed this from the market and it would not open at all, it kept force closing, it also caused the normal browser to force close, even after uninstalling the browser would crash, things didn't go back to normal until I rebooted

Ah! So I am not alone! Yeah... still sucks though. Have you noticed any apps in the downloads section in the market being listed as "installed" but not being able to open, install, or uninstall?

Web Browser

Just out of curiosity, what web browser do you guys use on your computers?
On both my Linux and Windows machines, I use Google Chrome as my default, and Firefox rarely when Chrome cannot load something.
I´m sure I have seen another thread with this topic, but couldn´t find it...
Opera 10.50 is the best and fastest browser!
I did a search, and the only recent one I found was what web browser do you use on your phone.
Chrome!!! The best. Very fast and stable
Opera by far. And very much looking forward to the 10.5 alpha tomorrow, windows 7 integration and finally box-shadow, border-radius, and multiple backgrounds. And full support, which is more than any other browser can claim with their hacky vendor-prefix preview support.

Yeah me too!!!
Opera!!!!!!!
cause:
IE- sometimes bugy
Chrome - I tried it and didnt like it
Firefox - everyone uses it, and I hate to be like everyone!!!!
Safari - umm... its apple...
Firefox works very well for me
Firefox for me.
Firefox. Alone its as good as the next door browser. what makes it better then the rest is the sheer number of add-ons!!
recently switched from chrome to safari
and in spite of being apple thing i love it
Chrome. I might switch to Opera. Use to use it a couple of years ago an loved it. Got a new computer, and never installed it.
Firefox 4 Ever!!
i'm on 3.6 Beta 5 and 3.7 beta
So far, I'm not really surprised by the results. I did use Firefox as my default for many, many years. My good, non-obsolete laptop's motherboard fried not too long ago, and I'm stuck with some not-so-hot machines, and Chrome seems to run faster and smoother on both of them. IE is a bloodsucker. Try opening that on a lower end machine, and you will be waiting all day.
I used IE for many years before moving to Firefox, and I haven't regretted it at all. Opera's cool, but it doesn't have nearly the amount of extensions like Firefox. But when I'm tethering and need to conserve bandwidth, Opera (with turbo compression enabled) and Elinks (which is text based) are my two choices.
The once and future king: Test build of Opera crushes Chrome on Windows 7
Opera 10.50 pre-alpha, the fastest browser!
I wonder how faster will be when they launch the definitive version

From Betanews the results arrive from an intensive test with the last navigators, and anybody the results would have to surprise him after the pump that Norwegian boys dropped to us yesterday. Having as it bases of the index to IE7 (1.0) like the slowest navigator, we have to Opera 10.50 like outstanding winner (24.52), followed of Chrome (22.32), Safari/Webkit (20.83), Firefox (13.29) and finally IE8 (1.55). As you see Operates has advanced by the right to all the navigators, Chrome and Safari follow to him close by, Firefox remains in the middle of way and IE8 advances but it continues playing in another league. And all this considering that the motor is incomplete and that certain elements have not been purified (like the tables).
In order to realise these tests has chosen ten batteries of tests of different authors, to measure the compatibility and rapidity of the navigator in CSS, Javascript, tables, canvas, elements 3D, etc. Some tests as the V8 de Chrome or the Dromadeo de Mozilla has not considered because they are not proportional. In addition, these navigators have executed themselves on Windows 7, system for which supposedly all of them are optimized. What seems to you, agree these results with your perception?

chrome here! but im looking for firefox soon!
Google chrome all the way
I chose Google Chrome because it is the best for me.
Internet Explorer-Takes too long to start up and takes even longer to go to a webpage. It crashes a lot and I just hate it.
Firefox-Good but takes too long to start up and little too long to get to a web site. I like the add-ons you can put on.
Opera- Never Tried It.
Google Chrome is fast to start up and fast to get to a webpage. It is starting to get some add-ons like Firefox and since Google is developing it you know that it is going to be good. I only use Firefox if Google Chrome cannot load something for some strange reason.

I used this for almost 3 days now. It's the best AIM app for Android by far, but it drains the battery fast. Besides that, it's great.
It seems a little laggy and definitely uses more memory/system resources than eBuddy. I'm leaving it installed, but I'll be sticking with eBuddy for daily IM usage.
It uses a lot of battery, and signs out when the phone goes to sleep. I constantly find myself having to re-login.

It keeps me logged in 24/7 (unless I'm on the phone and I lose 3g connectivity, but then it would log me back in when I get off the phone and regain internet connection), but then again, I am running 96mb swap.
keeps me logged in...I have it excluded with Advanced task manager...then again, I haven't put the phone down since I installed it...lol...
but so far the best AIM app...doesn't use the dictionary unfortunately so typing can get annoying, not sure if that's a KingKlick Eclair rom issue or the app itself...but all in all 4/5 is def a proper rating...could easily be 5/5 if I could remove the damn livestream and its tabs completely..not a lot of settings though.
I keep it excluded aswell in Advanced Task Manager, and I've been using it all day, and it's gone out on me multiple times, and I spent a good 6 hours with full 3g coverage, so I know it wasn't a matter of losing data. Even or wifi I lose it, and I have wifi lock on aswell to keep it from disabling while going to sleed/stand by. And I have a 128mb swap, not sure what that would have to do with it logging on or off...
I've been using HiAIM beta ever since I got my phone. It doesn't disconnect me unless I'm on the phone (which is normal). I like the interface a lot more than anything else I have used (I turn off bubble-style chat).
nice! great that aim finall released for android. i am currently using helloIM which is great and i think better at this point than this one. but helloIM is no longer supported by its devs i think, so i have a felling official AIM will be the one to use for the future as they update it more.
I heard on the news that Facebook chat will be available through 3rd party IM apps like yahoo messenger and AIM.....can anyone confirm this?

Link your facebook to your aim screen name with the latest beta desktop aim client so when you log into AIM with the official app, you can also log into your facebook chat.

It looks nice, however it is a mega battery drainer, my phone also heats up quite a bit but that may be because I'm listening to music at the same time. Does anyone know if messages sent through this application to cellphones count as messages or date?
[AIM can also send text messages, im wondering if they count as texts or not]

It looks almost identical to Community Hero Mix, but slightly different (especially the battery indicator).
iVisionX01, how did you get your data indicator to display "H" instead of "3G"? Or is that included with the ROM?
My apologies gentlemen I have a Nexus One. I'm using CyanogenMOD 5.0 w/ the Smooth Black Bar Theme.
Interesting, I didn't know that the H was included with CM5. I'm requesting that he also make that change for the next release of CM4.

Fast, simple, clean, and easy. Also is light on resources and lets me do a lot of things in tthe background along with a ton of windows open.
Chrome has some problems with java sometimes so I switched to FireFox.
-FireFox has a slow start up n loading pages...
-Chrome had a fast start up and fast page loading but sometimes pages won't load so I had to press refresh.

Help! 4.2 update erased my bookmarks!

All of my bookmarks have been erased by the 4.2 update! Is there anything I can do to get them back? I am talking about the local bookmarks.
Actually, the update erased everything related to my browser: bookmarks, saved passwords, search options etc.
Chrome Browser?
Did you get OTA update or did you do something to get it?
Stock browser. OTA, just popped out of nowhere (didn't even know 4.2 was out until it showed) and I thought "why not"? Well that answers why not. I do have a backup of the bookmarks but it's over 2 months old and many are missing, probably lost forever unless someone here has any ideas on how to get them back. The missing bookmarks were the result of many hours of web searches I did at some point researching a topic and I'd really hate to think of all that wasted time. I never imagined an update would erase my bookmarks, it never happened with previous ones.
(I could never figure in titanium backup how to do scheduled backups of the bookmarks only and nothing else)
If you visit each & every site that you had bookmarked you'll find that you can tap on the star in the address bar & bookmark them all over again.

Do you happen to have the same Book Marks on your Phone or maybe your Computer. Do you use Chrome Browser on your Computer... If not i recommend it. It as well other desktop / phone browsers will give you the option to sync them across devices.. I LOVE This feature.
Now as far it being a near end of earth catastrophe About loosing book marks. It has happened to me in the past. I just had to search for the sites i use again. I also found i had way more book mark sites then i actually use.
I think this is what the above comment meant about . Just go back to the sites and Re add them.. Some of the Inter-webs and company links are not so easy and i do feel for you for loosing them..
Good Luck.. Chrome will not get them back but could prevent this in the future..

I don't use chrome. I have tried hard to like it, and failed. It is counterintuitive for me.
Like I said, those bookmarks were the result of many hours of research (product availability for a narrow niche market, very hard to find). I didn't have them anywhere else. I guess I will have to waste more hours to find them again.
Anyway, the 4.2 update gets a big thumbs down from me.

For future reference, there are are apps in the play store that will back up your bookmarks.
I've lost plenty of bookmarks myself over the years. Until I started backing them up with
A third party app.

Like I said, I use Titanium Backup and it does a good job at it, but I haven't figured out how to make it regularly backup my bookmarks only. I don't want to do a full system backup on a daily basis. I backup the bookmarks manually, but I have to remember doing that. The last time I remembered was on Sept 29th.
Another app I tried, Bookmark Sort&Backup has the nasty habit of reversing the order of my bookmarks every time I start it. (yeah I know, just run it twice) It has no automation built in it either, so all operations have to be done manually. Comes down to memory again.
That would be something nice to see in titanium... The closest you can get is to schedule
A backup for modified data. But it backs up all modified data, not individual apps.
(Pro version)
(Edit) Just realized that TB does backup individual apps with modified
Data on a schedule... If you create a filter for just that app.
I use chrome and all my bookmarks are still there. However on one game it cleared my history of winning games. No big deal.
