anyone else tried the new fennec mobile browser from mozilla? Just gave it a shot today. still an alpha release, i believe. could turn out to be a decent browser, but still a little jerky gui, but it seems to navigate to new sites quick enough.
Here is the post with the cab.

Unfortunately your phone only has 64Mb of RAM. We’re targeting phones with 128Mb or more for the best experience.

WTF. I love Firefox on my desktops, but I doubt I'm ever going to use it Mobile.
I tried it the other day, I think it sucks.
I do uses FF on my PC though.
Just found a link to Skyfire 2 Beta, did a quick search and didn't see any info on this.
Tried it and works great!! Flash included.

sweet!!! finally
This mostly likely contacts the server like all their others when launched and they will remotely disable the flash support...
this is now the baddest browser on the planet for android I would say give this a try even if you tried the first version. Its way better than version 1
It is finally actually a desktop browser with full flash.
Does it run slower than molasses still?

just try it man. There is nothing better. not even close
This won't parse on super eclair or myn's warm donut on my sd card i'm going to try to reinstall the system and see if that fixes the issues
It already soft reset my phone when going to google.com Using Super Eclair build.
hmm, one thing i've noticed having not used skyfire since WinMo is that it's alot slower then on winmo, sites take forever to load
Yea, it's still garbage... Flash isn't that important to me...
Doesn't run too smooth on our Phones, but i've seen it on the N1 and it runs silky smooth
I tried the flash and it's nice, but honestly i'd rather run the YouTube app. Opera gives a much nice and faster browsing experience imo
A bit off-topic here, but has anyone been able to play a High-Quality YouTube video from the app without the app fc'ing? Mine only plays on the low-quality...
Running Myn's latest!
you can download skyfire off the android market now

I wonder how it'd run on the incredible...
Edit: lol, nm, I totally forgot they were pretty much the same hardware... I don't know why I thought N1 was 800mhz...
tried it and I wasn't impressed. It seems like a skinned version of the standard browser? Also it was too slow to be useable even with my phone overclocked to 510
All,
I tried Dolphin HD browser and it was really great. Its got lot of innovative features. But its not much of use on Galaxy S i guess, because within minutes of using it bcomes horribly slow. Each tap almost takes seconds for the app to respond. Even the scrolling is equally bad.
I really dont want to uninstall this browser. Does anybody have any tweaks to make it usable ? Do all galaxy S users feel the same or it works okay on others.
Any comments will be helpful.
yes, don't use dolphin
use skyfire, it is the fastest one
2nd fast is opera mini
According to the maker of Dolphin it had some issues in the later builds. But now it is more focused on speed improvements.
Opera is good. Hasn't tested skyfire on android. Didn't like it much all those years ago on PPC. The issue with Opera is when u use it for rapidshare or megadownload for instance (when u get the count down to the link) it is not updating. Probably because of the proxy to Opera. Turning this off hasn't worked for me.
Good luck!
Wow, if the makes of dolphin really work on improving the speed, I will be one happy camper.
Haven't uninstalled dolphin yet, hoping for a fix to come soon.

dolphin is one heck of a good browser, but the speed is horrible
my 10 years old Palm Treo loads faster than that
and the Treo was known to have the worse browser on the planet at that time

Guys, I tried Skyfire. Many people suggested that its very fast and all for Galaxy.
however, I am seeing the same sluggishness with Skyfire as well. The pages load fast but the browser acts very slugish. The taps dont respond well, the scrolling gets held up at places etc.
Still searching for a better stock browser replacement.
Anybody?
What's wrong with the stock one? I find it very good!!
Tried xscope? Best non proxy browser imho

Guys, looks like my prayers got answered.
Dolphin update: v 3.1.1
It's as smooth as Silk. Amazing improvement. NOW, it is the best I can say.

Yes the new version of Dolphin HD has much better performance. Now I'm happy to use it as my default browser
Have just installed the latest version and after spending a little time with it, I think it's better than opera for me
From my Galaxy S loonie-phone
3.1.1 ?? I can only find 3.0 ?!?
Its faster but I'm just not used to it, I think I'm too used to Xscope
Yeah, How do I acquire dolphin browser hd 3.1.1 ? Market shows 3.0 to be the latest...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm sure he uses just dolphin browser not dolphin browser HD.
Dolphin browsers latest version is 3.1.1 but HDs latest version 3.0.

Oh, I see... That makes more sense.... Well, does that mean that the regular dolphin browser is better than dolphin browser hd ?
P.S. I didn't find dolphin browser hd 3.0 any faster than 2.x as opposed to how it's advertised. Good browser all over, but I didn't notice any major (performance) improvements. Is it just me ?

Sorry after reading the post I went back to see market and appbrain. They both show 3.0 only. I might have seen just the dolphin brower I guess. BUT, I just upgraded the HD browser from market and I am sure I have dolphin HD. I see a nice HD on my icon.
The speed and the general handling is completely different and smooth now. The performance improvement is easily notice able
Sorry for all the confusion guys, I guess was just to excited seeing the speed.

Continuing from my previous post, are you guys saying that you have upgraded to latest version yesterday and stol not seeing the improvements?
If you haven't, I suggest you upgrade.market will show you that an upgrade is available for them.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have upgraded to 3.0 but it still is kinda slow. Although I haven't tested it with wifi cause my connection is down.
Still the built in browser is faster than dolphin HD with 3g.
I used only dolphin hd when I had desire and really liked it but in galaxy it is just too slow.
I have JM2 installed if it makes any difference...
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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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 liked the functions embedded in Skyfire, but on the aospCMod, it seemed to cause some FC and weird booting issues.
I use dolphin HD licensed and skyfire for flash yxplayer fc's on me in aospcmod

I’ve tried few and have to agree skyfire works best.
im just curious as to which browser you guys run and which ones you guys think run faster on past experiences. i use chrome as my daily driver but have been curious as to what might run faster. I would just download opera and try it but im at school and cannot run .exe files. thanks!

Firefox is the best.
Rapid.
Has Ad-Free.
Better than Chrome/Opera.
Of the two, I prefer Chrome. Opera has some nice features, but seems to get sluggish after a while (in my experience). Chrome is fast, lightweight, and has some nice extensions to customize to your liking. You should also consider the newest version of Firefox. I've been using that for a couple weeks and the speed improvement is nice.

+1 on firefox...
I'd really wanna know which browser will run well on a Pentium 4 PC with 512MB RAM. On Windows XP. So far FF is beating Chrome with a slight edge.
!!!
firefox the best!
I stay with Chrome.
Chrome all the way! I hate Firefox. Here's Lifehackers' browser speed test btw: Clicky<--
I don't like Firefox's new update and I tested it out, not for me. I prefer Chrome, it's simple and I just like simple.

This.
For the longest time, I was a diehard Firefox user.
Since they updated to 4, that ish is laggy as hell for me. I couldn't stand it.
So now I'm using Chrome.
Much better, in my opinion!

It was awful!
Loading times for pages used to be really quick. Then, when I updated, it got pretty bad at times. I'd have to restart Firefox sometimes.
I'd never had that problem, and have really fast internet, so I didn't understand what it was.
No problems whatsoever on Chrome though!

I'm using firefox 4.It's amazing

I am a diehard fan of Chrome. Not only do I run it on my Acer Netbook, but on my CR-48. I love how no matter what machine I use it all syncs up automagically.
