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
3
As a middle aged man you can have problems with the Campus Police.

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.
Well so Opera sucks really bad most websites i go to the fonts too damn small to see is there a fix for this or another browser i can download?
Wow Scott,
Welcome to the forum. What a pleasant post from such a new member.
Well let's see... perhaps you would prefer the new IE in 6.5. You could give that a try. There is Skyfire. Several seem to like that. Oh, you might also try to do a search. Amoung the issues you are searching for, you might also notice, perhaps, a slightly elevated degree of decorum as measured against your intial entries.
Happy hunting.
Doug M.
sorry for the abrupt post most of the forums i go to for whatever are to the point, and can be mean to the newbs... i will search but i may need to take the phone into the store because the internets not working like i should even with full bars.

You could try Iris Browser....and most builds of opera have a zoom feature so the font wont be as small...
NOOB??

it's the other way around for me, IE8 is getting to my nerves.
what is your Opera version anyway? I believe you can use 'one column' view to eliminate too small fonts.
wondering when will Google/Mozilla make their browser avails for mobile devices.

When I zoom in I lose word-wrap so there is a lot of horizontal scrolling to be done which is a pain so I would rather see the font larger than to zoom.
I get really fed up with it sometimes.

Try updating to a different Opera Mobile build, when I zoom in on mine it word wraps correctly.
another to say update your opera the newest work fine just remember to zoom in. my text wrap is fine
also if you want to use iphone sites use iris browser and skyfire for full flash videos and such
and whomever asked about a mozilla browser there is actually an alpha build its called fenec but supposedly isnt up to par yet but its being worked on
The xScope browser. After reading about it here earlier today I grabbed it and can't believe how it shows the ability of this tablet. I set the browsing agent as a "computer" and every site I've checked works flawlessly, including those with a lot of flash that didn't work before. Youtube videos look amazing and the speed is second to none.
The reason I wanted to mention it here is because so many people are working hard to make this tab the best it can be and I thought this shows what we have to work with. Personally this is going to allow me to do a lot more business work and makes the purchase a great move for me!
Sorry for getting a little over excited.

I use xScope also. Rothnic recommended it. Works very well. I went to the Bank of America site and it looks like it works. You didn't leave your account # so I can't really tell though It looks different in xScope than the stock browser.

Using stock and dolphin HD/Lite, login app falls behind some flash advertise, and no way to move the login applet front.
Yes, you can use Android App for BofA, but it is horrible. Too many crashes, and it works when it wants.
Damn, i left my tablet at home today since don't have decent carrying solution yet.. Really sux..

ah ok hopefully its fixed by the time i get my tablet since i do use the app alot.
I really didn't feel this thread needed to be moved. It's relevant to those of us working non-stop on the roms like TNT. It's important that we know what apps are making the most of the roms as a lot can be learned from that. I wasn't simply looking to review the app.
People love Dolphin and I don't know why. I have been using Xscope since it was free and I even paid for it now that it isn't and it just gets better with every update. It blows the other browsers out of the water!

On the contrary, this is related to a browser APP, which can be used regardless of which ROM is on your gTAB. Apps is the perfect forum for this post.
Tried the free version. Fancast didn't work for me in this one either. Flicker slideshows did working landscape...didn't in stock.

You're right had it been app review, which it wasn't. I was addressing those of us using certain roms.
Just a heads up. When I last used Skyfire the webpages were all generated on their servers. So unless things have changed I'd avoid using it for things like financial transactions.

Don't want to go on anymore about this too much, but this absolutely belongs in apps. You didn't say anything specific about a ROM, or development. You did give an app review about how it runs on this device. There currently is a lot of app related posts coming into development pushing down threads, and our mod is rightly so moving them.
On another note, I am on the list of of people who don't understand the hype on Dolphin and love xScope. I encourage everyone to try it.
Love loading webpages up, then hitting menu to go fullscreen. The toggle makes it great. Also nice swiping between tabs.
Can any one tell me where to find the xScope browser. Of course the crappy gmarket site the gtab has built in doesn't carry it.
I like XScope 6 a lot. Today I was able to watch a rental movie (from Amazon digital store) at full screen and no issues at all. The browser agent was set to "computer" with XScope and Amazon who needs the iTunes store?

Sees it fine using the original market hack using Titanium.
I know that everyone will have a personal opinion and preference (not to mention that this question has probably been done to death); but with the latest GB update/ROM, 2.2 roms and so forth...At this point in development, is the stock browser just as good/fast as 3rd party ones (specifically sykfire and opera mini).
I am updated to the 1/28 Gingerbread, and while the stock is ok, I still prefer Dolphin. I have a difficult time exiting out of stock (the back key just pages back, does not exit), and downloads don't always seem to complete in the stock browser for me. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah I figure it really depends on the user's needs/wants. I read this interesting review, (tried to post the link but not allowed yet :-( and it looks like skyfire is the best overall (supposedly plays flash on non-flash devices pretty well)
Miren is the best.
Skyfire for Flash video conversion support. Also a good system for tabs and a great browser overall.
LATE EDIT: I read the topic wrong, I thought it was like a poll... Umm, the stock is still nowhere near as good as Skyfire or Dolphin.
I use dolphins mini.
ive used xscope for quite a while and nothing else ever really feels right when i try it
I like miren as well.

I'm using Opera atm but I don't like that there is no pinch to zoom or text formatting when I zoom in. It's still much better than stock, maybe I'll check out dolphin or miren
I would say boat browser

Miren seems like a really good browser. I like it.
Was using Opera now Dolphin is my primary, however a bit frustrated with not being able to set my home page. They all run rather slow to open up and are sluggish on my phone. Web pages are a pain in the *** on all of them. Either too small or too big.

Haven't heard of it. How does it compare. Why do you like it. I might have to give it a try.
Opera Mobile
Now using Opera Mobile and I find it is very snappy. I tried Dolphin and it seemed a bit cumbersome. I will have to check out Miren.

Xscope is very good, especially the newest version as they worked out alot of bugs, it is a paid app tho. Try the different versions of dolphin browser they are really fast and customizable.

I’ve tried few and have to agree skyfire works best.
Hi,
I've been a visiter here for a few years. This is my first post.
I've managed to get out the Net Front Browser that came pre-installed on my T-01A. It's a 2009 version and is very lite on battery. It runs in English on my English rom without trouble. It also utilizes the hard zoom bar of the TG01.
It's very different in useability and quality to any of the NF concept versions I've tried.
There are around 14 files to be copied to the windows folder and thats it.
However, some may contain some personal information so I'd like someone to help me clean them up before I post the files as a zip or torrent them.
The NF is based on the kernel of IE Mobile and works not that smooth. For WM devices, I recommend IrisBrowser though its develop team was required by RIM a year ago , Iris still works and the UX is perfect

Sorry, I tried the Iris browser for a few days but it's not a patch on the NF that I have. It kindov works but it's unuseable compared to what I was/ am offering.
Sorry that you think the Iris is better, lol. It is very inferior.
never mind...not everyone cares the same thing. what i care is full web experience and html 5 support, while nf, whose acid3 test result is not acceptable
btw, except the ui, what do you care when choosing a mobile browser?

I guess you are an an employee of Iris or have connections there'ov, otherwise are you numb to judge what you don't know as you haven't downloaded my files yet?
Simply : I know about what I am speaking and you are speaking.
You only know of what you're speaking and don't know of what I am speaking.
how i wish i could work for RIM.....
but truth is what one believes so it's useless to explain more
the netfront is the mobile browser made by access in japan, isn't it?

wait... you said you have post files to be downloaded? where are they?
I did not say I had posted any files, but I can.
The 1 main advatge with this browser is battery life.
With Opera 10 minutes browsing takes 10% battery, with NF 1 hour's browsing takes 10% ( or thereabouts).
The difference is comparable with Windows media player and Core player. WMPlayer is about the same 10 minutes is 10% battery and Core player 1 hour is 10 % ( playing music).
It doesn't support flash, but it's as fast as Opera for one tenth of battery usage. And so for browsing - it's the best browser I've found.
When I had the stock Japanese rom on it I used it all the time. After flashing an English rom it was sufferable with only IE opr Opera, they both drain the battery like a gorilla in a banana shop.
It was tricky to get the files out as the are protected rom files and ordinarily uncopiable. But I've got them.
If you know anyone else who has managed to get the JP version of NF from a Japanese Toshiba T-01A (which is completely in English when installed on an English rom) then please, ask them, or download from them.
Is this not On topic?
This is definitely on-topic XD
It seems a bit silly to get into an argument over the difference of opinion here. Just hurry up and link to the browser so we can all have more alternatives! =)
i see, trying to look for it

Here's a link
https://rapidshare.com/files/458372874/NFB.rar
*** Please read below ***
It's a RAR file with 12 files and 2 folders.
You need to select 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' and uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files' in your pc's 'Folder Options' to see all the files and so copy them. (or use a decent phone file explorer)
Copy all 14 to your phones' 'Windows folder'.
Link to NFStartup (or 1 of the others).
And give it a try.
It's off a T01 A so the hard zoom bar should work fine on TG01.
If problems on a different screen resolution, there is an 'nfview' file that looks configurable.
Also the Widgets thing is crap as far as I know so you can save a few MB and delete that; It should still work fine.
seems different to find. actually it is also difficult to find a third party japanese rom:-(

Sorry, it is due to the network delay, I'm downloading and will try it later. Thank you for sharing.
In fact, it's the NF 3.5 for WM, you can open this link http://acid3.acidtests.org/ in this browser, the result is 36/100 here, you may run this test in other browsers for a try.
Here're the results I've tested months ago for your information:
http://shrt.st/10ae
Your right, it is the 3.5, I noticed it on when it starts up.
That acid test is a waste of time. It bears nothing useful in reality.
The NF still out performs all other browsers in the real world. But if you need flash for something use Opera.
Good luck on the battery life.
