htc tytn 2 IE

I dunno if this has been talked about bu i used a iphone and used the web browser.. ya? anyways the IE sucks its slow and loadds really slow... any help with that as in like a diff program to use?

Use Opera 9.5. That's one of the best or you can use mini opera as well. There are different types of browsers that can be used.

1) Opera Mobile 9.5 build 15233 + Flash Plugin
2) SkyFire
3) Opera Mini
4) Iris Browser
5) Internet Explorer
Listed in order of "best" to worst. I personally like Opera's UI better then Skyfire, but Opera w/ the Flash Player 3 can only play youTube and flash advertisements. SkyFire has full flash capabilities, and it is by far the fastest, but I just don't like the UI as much as Opera, (which is why I put it at #2 instead of #1). All browsers are free.

Fastest Opera Mobile? (not 9.7)

Hey guys, I apologize in advance if there is a thread for this (I searched, honestly, but did not find what I was looking for)
I was wondering if there is a fast loading, flash playing (ex. youtube) version of Opera mobile. I don't want to use Opera 9.7 due to the fact that I'm not interested in using a server based browser (privacy issues), turbo mode renders pictures horribly, turbo mode loads only on mobile website version for some websites, and the browser loss the ability to reformat columns when zoomed in, loss of using zoom in hardware button.
I am currently using NFSFAN's Opera 9.5 build 16643 vga which is fast, but wanted to know if there is a faster version (also this version does not support youtube).
Well, thx guys. Take care.

?
I dont know which is faster, but why do you need youtube in the browser when you have a dedicated youtube app?

skyfire
I'd say give a try to Skyfire....It is fast and support youtube (and any flash)
Cheers!

+1 for the skyfire, till now there is no competition, skyfire in my opinion is the best mobile browser there is. still if u like opera wait a little longer till they release a final version of the 9.7 browser. it should support flash than.

Skyfire works well but the browser image quality is diffuse.

Opera Mobile 9.5 Build 16453 & 16070 both work well

If you want the fastest Opera browser for the Touch Pro? Get OperaMiniV8

Faster than Skyfire, Opera (any build) and Iris...tried them all...however no flash support.

Skyfire...Skyfire...Skyfire!
I have to agree Skyfire for overall use is the best hands down browser I use on my Touch Pro. It seems to be the most stable and does not dump out in the middle of searching or scrolling through web pages (ala Opera any version). If you can get past the diffuse of the page loads then you will enjoy the overall experience of FULL web browsing on your phone.

Skyfire is the best, but it looks like QVGA.
Even then... Still the best
Built in my personal ROM since the begining

perfect browser?

What browser is everyone using? I tried many of them, but they all lack something. I am using CM7 RC4.
- Firefox. Excellent in all areas except for speed. Scrolling and loading is too slow to be useful. Does not support flash - I do not care about flash much, but for some it would be a dealbreaker.
- Dolphin HD. Slow scrolling. Supports flash. Incorrectly renders some pages (iclarified.com). Too slow to be useful for me.
- Opera mobile. Very fast. Supports flash. Would be perfect if it had an ability to change browser agent. Without it many websites insist on using mobile version.
What I want is Firefox features with speed of Opera. Does such thing exist?

Maybe mirin browser. I haven't tried it so much but it seems fast. Don't know if it supports flash though.

I use Dolphin HD. Never had any issue except slow scrolling for graphics heavy sites.

by the way you cab change user agent in opera mobile. look at the Opera thread on how.

i use xscope. I have tried dolphin but i cannot stand how it renders some pages (one that comes to mind is reddit).
Firefox like you said is too slow
Opera seems promising, I am using that every once in a while now but still always find myself going back to xscope

Skyfire 3.0
I would suggest skyfire. Been the best of all worlds for me!

I love and use the stock browser just fine.

Since Opera 11 got flash, I feel the other browsers can't compete. up until that point I was a Dolphin HD Guy.

I use xscope or dolphin HD. I do not like Skyfire or Opera since they proxy your web traffic.

Opera Mobile 11 is the only browser I use now. Too many of the websites that I frequent have really slow scrolling on the webkit based browsers. Now that Opera Mobile has GPU acceleration and flash support I can't use anything else.

Opera Mobile does not use a proxy unless you turn on turbo mode which will just compress images for you.

was using miren, but i prefer opera mobile now, i like how it render pages much than miren or firefox. Miren is pretty fine too, i like how it handle tabs.

Opera has font rendering issues, particularly in its always-on overview mode. And it's bookmark management sucks. I don't understand why they made their browser have so little in the way of configuration options.
Dolphin HD is my favorite but Opera is definitely faster.
Firefox is a disaster yet with some serious issues. I hope they continue to work on it.

opera has tons of config options, if you go to "opera:config" way to much. But I do agree there are few options that I would like that doesn't exists. like disable page overview/preview, bookmark ordering, disable navigation bar. I have a phone and nook, both running 2.2, and same version of opera. On the phone I can disable the navigation bar but I can't do it on the nook. They must be doing some filtering of configs based on device type or resolution.

opera is faster, but the speed isnt enough to make me switch from dolphin hd. it just flows so much better. I dont like the gestures, but like the swipe actions with the shortcuts on the left panel. I also like how it goes to full screen when a site is loaded, and the address bar goes away once it's scrolled away. the tabs are also a joy to use.

Opera Mobile has now replaced dolphin HD for me. The great increase in speed and performance made me switch. I still hope Opera gets better tab and bookmark management though. Once that happens, Opera will easily be the best IMO.

Opera is a complete piece of trash.
The scrolling doesn't lock when you scroll up/down so it jitters left/right as you scroll down a page. It looks awful. Every other mobile browser in existence has this feature. Why did they leave it out?
Websites that are not formatted for mobile always load first in completely zoomed out mode with the letters at 0.5 font, regardless of what you set the "zoom" to in the settings. This means browsing around some websites becomes extremely painful since you have to zoom in a TON for every. single. page click.
And the worst of them all: on content heavy pages (ie when a website doesn't have a mobile version), after it finishes loading, the entire page just goes blank. Literally, completely white. The weird thing is when switching tabs, the tab preview still shows the content. But going back to the page and it's still just fully white. Reloading the page doesn't help.
Opera Mobile has "nice scrolling" but that's about it. What a bug-ridden infuriating, and not to mention HUGE (25+ mb) app.

Browser Alternative

Here's 2 alternative browser I like and use...
Miren taken from another forum run great on the gtab (will update once installed)
UC is a great browser as well.

+1,000 on Miren. It's my browser of choice for Android devices. You can change the settings to allow you to use every inch of your screens real-estate, plus it's fast and intuitive.

Curious to know what advantages it has on Dolphin HD.

Is the Miren browser compatible with Flash 10.2?

I tried Miren for about an hour but it ran really slow for me. I do like the features and how it renders compared to Dolphin HD. For now speed is my main issue so I'll have to check back on this browser after a few updates and see if it gets better.

I really like Skyfire 3.0. Though I haven't figured out how to close individual tabs yet.

Can someone tell me how to set MIUI for desktop view? All the sites are coming up mobile.
Thanks
EDIT: Switched to the Miren Browser and took care of the problem.

[Q] What browser do you prefer and why?

Hey guys, I was wondering what browser you are using and why you use the one you use. Share your experiences.
Personally I've tried some different browsers and I think Opera Mobile is one of the best, because it scrolls real nice when reading a lot of text like on a forum. It kinda sticks to the text when scrolling up or down. Thereby when you click at a link that's really close to another link, so close you easily make a mistake when clicking, it zooms in real far and marks both links and let you choose one of them.
These options I found really helpfull.
Browsers I've tried so far:
- Mirren Browser
- Dolphin Browser
- Stock Browser
- Opera Mobile

-Boat Browser
->fast and smooth
->html5 support
->desktop view
->flash support by clicking once a symbol on web page, so there you save time, if you don't want to view flash ads
->pinch zoom (not standard on some! See opera)
->tabbed browsing
->text reflow (also not standard on some browsers!)

-Skyfire
-Its quick
-Smooth
-Tabbed browsing
-Pinch to zoom
-Quick links
Ive tried several browsers to include all of the ones you listed, and of them all this one has been my favorite. Although I have not tried the one listed above (Boat) I don't feel the need to try any others as this one for me is perfect.

Stock Browser
Simple !
I would aslo say it has better quality than some other browsers such as, Firfox !

Stock, all the others are crap.

Stock browser is the fastest, you can find tests on google, and none of the other browsers are as fast..

I personally like the new opera mobile 11 browser. In integrates flash nicely and scrolls very smooth through the webpages. I especially like the fast scroll option.

Hm, if there is an option to change the user agent, I can fell in love with the stock browser.
But it can't and some webpages are in mobile Optic. I can't live with mobile optic.
Opera is really good but some webpages looks strange with it. Forums are such sites. I don't know, why the opera websites looks other than normal ones.

opera has pinch zoom..
tried boat and skyfire, but i still like opera mobile more. it may not be the fastest one around but it has a great user experience imo

Stock browser? Can only show mobile view and forget about:debug settings!
For me, that is no real internet browsing.

Only used stock. However I liked the one on HTC Desire HD better then the one on this phone (LG optimistic 2X) . Wish it comes in a custom ROM soon.

Using Boat browser atm, but Opera 11 has been my choice since it came... Never testet flash in Opera, but it may be integrated now(other post here)?
Testet skyfire, xscoope, miren, firefox++ Miren was my favorite on my G2, but 2X somehow lags when trying to switch tabs, so I switched

Stock with AdFree

dolphin hd,is speed

Miren. Really a fantastic browser.

Opera Mobile, mostly because of the great Computer <--> Mobile Phone synchronization.

Operamobile:
best text reflow ever seen
Opera link
doesnt have problem with login pages at wifihotspots like stock one do
seems to run smoother than stock on O2X
unfortunatelly sometimes Im experiencing issues when i want to download something

I tried Mirren and Firefox4.
I'd love to use Firefox 4 but it causes my LG Launcher to crash and makes the phone nearly freeze.
Mirren seems really good, but i don't like the colors.
Using the stock browser most of the time.

I've always used stock on phones - I have a tablet for heavy web stuff and a phone is really just there to quickly visit a specific site or serve a request, not spend any amount of time on it.
FireFox is certainly nice but I just don't need all the things it offers.
The only time I used a non stock browser was on my very old k800i where Opera's proxy make viewing heavy pages much faster.
Nowadays with fast connections and better CPU there's no need for it though.

I have to say boat browser mini really is the best browser I've tried so far... and I've tried a few: Opera, Dolphin HD, Miren, xScoope, Firefox ++
Boat has html5, flash, pinch to zoom, tabs ++
