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....!

Best RSS Reader. What Do You Use?

I've never really used RSS feeds, but I'm going to start on the G1 so that I don't have to use my browser all the time. I was using Google's Reader, but I'd like to try one of the FREE apps.
So what do you use (free or not) and what do you like/not like about it?
** EDIT** Currently I'm using PureRSS and RSS Reader. Don't know which one I like more.

I like Greed alot because it syncs with my Google Reader account.

Greed definitely

Greed as well.

Greed here also ... sync's w/ google reader and it's free. Haven't had any issues.

its works offline?

Greed Lite is free and does NOT do offline syncing.
Greed Paid version is $5.00 and does the offline cache as well as downloading(podcasts?)
I haven't tried either of them but I just looked it up and thats what came up

I use Greed free, but now that there is the offline support, I may just move over to the paid one.

Another one for Greed.

I use PureRSS for text feeds, and BeyondPod for podcasts.
Both excellent and free. I had originally used the OI Newsreader, but found that it wasn't synching right and it was buggy (would crash often, wouldn't display articles properly).
Greed is good (hehe), but I didn't need the Google integration enough to warrant paying for the offline caching.

Which is the best for syncing with Google reader?

Greed all the way, nothing you have to do to get it to sync with Google Reader, just login and start reading! I've been using this app since I got my G1 and it's the best RSS reader hands down.

Thanks a lot man.

I use Greed as well. Works perfectly with my Google Reader.

I used to use PureRSS and BeyondPOD, I opted out of PureRSS once I got my hands on Greed. Absolutely grand. Google integration is epic. So nice to have the option to add feeds to my greed browser at a remote computer.
Still use BeyondPOD for podcasts though.

What's the podcast support like in the full version of Greed? I was using Doggcatcher but recently moved to Beyondpod.

Has anyone tried NubiNews?
It's not strictly an RSS reader, as it doesn't allow you to add arbitrary feeds. However, for the feeds that it supports (10+ sources, including NY Times, Engadget, The Register, Gizmodo, Yahoo News, etc), it renders the FULL pages, including all the images.
Other RSS apps only display the summary text inside the feed XML file. For the whole news story, you need to open the Browser, which is really a slow pig on the Android platform.
What NubiNews does is to strip off all the crap (ads, etc) from the page, and display only the interesting contents. This makes the download really fast. For example, some news page in Yahoo News would take over 15 seconds to load in the Browser, and it's horrible to view because you need to scroll horizontally and vertically.
In NubiNews, such an article would load in less than 5 seconds, and the page is reformatted to scroll only vertically for easy navigation.
As an added benefit, NubiNews also zooms the images in the iPhone style.
Here's are a few screen shots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

twitter has for the most part replaced my RSS feeds but in the occasion I do use them I just load up Google Reader in the browser.

Greed is the best for me by far and have tried 90% of the ones for the G1.
It syncs with google reader which is great because if you have to do a system wipe, it saves all the feed links. It HATE HAVING TO RE ENTER ALL THOSE FEED LINKS AFTER A WIPE! Closest thing to viigo around.

Sorry double post.

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?

one word: perfect.
although i gotta admit that i am really looking forward to see other rendering engines (fennec, opera) ported to android

I like opera. The last version (11) is very good.

I'm going to go with Chrome. I havve been using it exclusively for over a year now.
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.
-Opera had problems to when loading some java pages..

[Q] Any web browser that do not crash?

I have tried the built-in Browser, the two Opera browsers and also Easy Browser. All of them crash in the first ten seconds. Is there any browser that actually works with my Nook Touch? Thanks in advance.

If your NST (with or without glowlight) was properly rooted, Opera should be your browser of choice. I've been running it a very long time with no problem at all. All others will be lacking functionality.

I guess it's properly rooted, I think I followed the instructions in this web. Is there a solution or anything? Or a explanation at least? As soon as I open it closes itself...
EDIT:
I've tried uninstalling and installing, crashed at the beginning... actually it crashed just inmediately after the "Welcome to Opera Mini" screen...
EDIT 2:
OK, now it crashes only when loading a page, but not at the welcome page (the one with some page links in images)...
EDIT 3:
OK, I figured out something. The version that crashes is Opera Mini. I've been trying Opera Mobile (which I had to add manually because I couldn't find it in the Market) and it seems to be OK. Was that the problem? Thanks.

Try to:
Fix permissions
Clear dalvik cache

I don't need to, it's working now, but I wanna know if my problem was because of using the "Mini" version of Opera instead of the "Mobile" one (which by the way wasn't on the market when I searched for opera).

Yes, opera mini crashes for me..but opera mobile works fine.
Regarding not finding opera mobile in market...
Install searchmarket to be able to search in market.
Alternatively you can go to play.google.com on a computer
and remotely install an app on the nook.

UC Browser! :victory:
UC Browser works really, really well!
Of course the side buttons don't work despite an option for volume control scrolling but other than that it works really really well.
I've tried a few. Skyfire works slightly better than opera mini. I tried Dolphin and I'm really not sure what the developers are smoking but I don't want any of it. I suspect it rots the brain.
but UC browser works great. I'm running 9.x and its fantastic but there is also a UC browser mini that is less fantastic but smaller but I much prefer the full version.
It's the browser with a squirrel logo.
I think I downloaded it from 1stMarket as I can't get play to work and the amazon app store isn't supported in the UK.
