Android Browser runs on Safari? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Weird question, if u go to danasoft.com on your mobile browser it shows im running on Safari, is that just some sort of glitch on there server or they havent updated it to show diffrent types of Mobile browsers?
just curious.

Both android browser and google chrome use webkit as their rendering engines, which most websites "mistake" as safari

what seems to be the most popular browser being used with a rooted nook?
got a favorite, lets here it
I am using the stock and Skyfire
I use Stock and Opera Mini
Dolphin browser HD with the user agent set to desktop.
I'm running CM7 r17.
Miren has been the best in my experience. It's got a great UI, it's very speedy, renders pages very well (with modes that display full pages on the screen very well), and has loads of options.
Also, I was experiencing a bug where every browser crashed to the homescreen when I tried to visit an htpps: page. Miren does not do this at all.

What he said.
I use XScope.
The latest version of the program has fixed the issue of white text on white background in the pop up menus.

This is why I love Android. Ask this question in an iPhone forum and see what you get. Safari or Opera. Choose wins!

Too bad the market says it's not compatible for me
I have give a try to xscope!
Currently i'm using Miren and it's pretty fast, the ui is great to!
I am using xscope pro. I gave dolphin hd a chance for 2 days but couldn't stand how it rendered pages no matter what my settings were... Especially how it rendered reddit. I do love how dolphin does the bookmarks though.
I will give these a try, wow so many options...lol
I am trying Boat Browser, it seems to fill my needs, but the only one that seems to show favacons it the stock browser

Internet browser

Dolphin HD here.
I'm liking Dolphin, set to work as a desktop
I, too, use Opera Mini.
Either Dolphin HD or Firefox Beta, your call.

Dolphin for desktop browsing, Miren for something else

+1 for Dolphin too. I also use it on the iPad and it syncs favorites between them which is kind of handy.
Opera Mobile. Because the stock browser is junk.
I use Opera Mobile and Dolphin Browser HD.

Im loving Dolphin HD more now that it has an evernote extension!
I tried them all, by far the best and easiest to use has been the Boat browser. Once you go Boat, you never go back.
I use dolphin personally due to its stylish user interface and gesture support.

Can someone explain the benefits of using a browser other than stock? I surf the web a lot (2.5gig a month) on my phone and have always used the stick browser...?
i prefer opera mobile, but i might have to switch back to dolphin since they have an evernote add-on now.
I downloaded Opera Mobile from android market.
At least is not transfering so much data.
Quick and fast!
It's all good
Really a matter of preference.
However some might do specific tasks better than others. For example the other day I tried Dolphin, Opera, Firefox and the native browser during a flash stream of a basketball game. I was hooked up to my home wireless router.
I never did get the flash addon to work properly on Firefox. Opera and Dolphin opened the stream just fine, but the video was jerky and hard to watch.
By far the best video continuity was with the native browser.
But I still prefer Firefox for general web browsing.

Google sites look UGLY in Opera browsers

How come the Google sites and many other pages look so UGLY in Opera browsers? I can't believe why so many users are still using it. They look torn down version of the sites in other browsers, such as the stock browser, Dolphin and UC.
Google designs their stuff to only look good in chrome so they can spy more on your browsing when you use it.

NO, these sites look as good in Dolphin browser, UC browser etc, which are not Google browser.
totally agree! Google sites look terrible in Opera
plus i have this strange problem with the stock Browser... whenever i try to save an image it force closes

browser wars

hey guys,
im on the lookout for a nice browser
which one you like most ? i personally like the stock one in tablet mode, but it fails to load some webpages properly ... havent found anything with good functionality/speed/smoothness compromise yet. chrome is nice, but it needs soooo much ram, cant even have 3 tabs open without having to reload them after switching.. awful.
i was hoping ucbrowser would answer my call, but something peculiar happened, i tried the tablet version first, just out of curiosity and it worked great, fast quite smooth with occasional hiccups. but the phone version was just horrible, lagged like i was running it on a single core 600mhz cpu. just pathetic... anyone know what the deal is with that ?
cheers
Naked browser
dolphin but now has some bugs, Opera......
the hemelywo
Chrome or Opera mini
Im using chrome, just becouse its syncing with my pc, but to be honest, the stock browser is my second best one!

thanks, ill try the naked browser
i didnt like to browse forums with chrome, the text is uneven, eg posts are displayed in a much larger font than the quotes in the same posts, so constant zooming is needed if you want to read the quote. bs..
browser
Chrome and Opera
I'am using this amazing browser named Puffin Browser and it's blowing my mind atm with its lightning speed!
I use "Lightning Browser"! It's just incredibly more fast than Chrome and than all browsers i used
I like AOSP/CM stock browser on kitkat. Puffin is fast indeed but that's it. I also use Opera mini for its great rss support.

Not bad! I installed this too.
Internet Explorer has to be the best...
I mean come on, everyone uses it to download Chrome right?:laugh::laugh:
Google is love, Google is life
Definitely Google Chrome.
Mozilla Firefox.
Chrome, due to it's open-source nature (Chromium) and wide variety of plugins and cool webapps.

Chrome forever and ever.
Both mozila and chrome I like.
I used to use Chrome, but when they disabled NPAPI plugins, I was too search for old version and moved to Opera.

Judging by the google play store page, it hasn't been updated for a while. This could mean that you won't be safe if there was a security risk found. Looking at the comments, ads aren't a good sign for a web browser.

Chrome for PC/Mac, Naked Browser Pro for Android - made a review and a video on it.
CM13 AOSP browser is okay. I don't need anything more that it can offer
