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:

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.

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.

Animated Advertising

The amount of moving/animated/flying bannerd messages on 99% of internet websites has completely gotten out of hand. It is distracting, annoying, and causes pages to load much to slowly.
Eureka !!

I'm running IE8 in XP pro, what program do I need to install ?

Tools> Manage Add-ons> Shockwave Flash Object Enable/Disable
This seems to work, but would rather find an option to just disable animated advertising , and not completely disable Flash.

I might give that a shot. I guess I can have both IE8 & Chrome on my computer, but how about something that will work with IE8 ?

Anybody try this ? (from PC mag)
"Block Ads with InPrivate Filtering and Third-Party Filters
One reason I switched my default browser from IE to Firefox was that I could install an ad-blocking extension. IE8 doesn't support a similar add-on, but with a bit of effort, you can get almost the same level of stress-reducing ad blocking in IE8 that you can get in Firefox—using only IE8's built-in features. It's a three-step process.
First, turn on InPrivate Filtering by using Safety | InPrivate Filtering Settings and select Automatically Block. Click OK.
Next, add a Registry setting that turns on InPrivate Filtering by default so that you don't have to turn it on every time you start up IE8. In Notepad, create a text file with these three lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Safety\PrivacIE]
"StartMode"=dword:00000001
Save this file to your desktop with a name like "FilterOn.reg"; right-click on it; choose Merge.
Next, search the Web for files named Adblock for IE8.zip or EasyListIE8.zip, or search for "ie8 adblock xml list" or similar strings. You are looking for links to downloadable XML files converted from recent filtering lists created for Firefox's AdBlock Plus. Download one or more of these XML files to your desktop—you can use more than one without problems—and look at the files in Notepad to make sure that they're standard text files and not a dangerous executable program (scan them with your antivirus app first, just in case). In IE8, go to Tools | Manage Add-Ons, and click on InPrivate Filtering. Click the Import button, navigate to your downloaded XML file and click Open. IE8 will take a few seconds to process the list. Click Close. Now visit any normally ad-heavy site and enjoy the view of the site with few or no ads."

[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.

I prefer from all the browsers the dolphin HD,never had a problem
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk 2

i use opera mobile for default. and have dolphin installed in case of flashed content. they both does their work well.

Try "Maxthon browser".
P.S. My NST came back from the US. (finally I'm back)

Dolphin HD always crash, but Dolphini Mini works perfectly.

Sleipnir web browser
Today I discovered Sleipnir Web Browser for Android.
After playing with browsers settings it seems that everything works like it should.
Gestures work, it does not crash even with multiple tabs opened etc..

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.
