I know Opera is really fast and there were some porn surf browser called Triple X

[Q] What browser do you use?

I'm running CM7. I just opened the News and Weather app and went to browse a story, and the page scrolling was a bit jumpy. Presume it would have opened the stock browser. What browser do all of you use?

I use Dolphin HD and Skyfire

Dolphin HD

Was using Opera for an age. Just now trying Dolphin HD. To be honest not that impressed so might switch back

Stock browser.

Stock one and opera really fast opera!

Stock browser works well. I tried Firefox (a lot of memory), Dolphin HD (the best alternative), Miren browser (very fast browser) and Opera (I don't like its UI).

Dolphin HD, best browser in my opinion!

Opera a real browser

i have used opera since the moment i started using internet, so yeah, opera ftw

Im using stock browser at the moment but I intend to go back to Opera once I have stopped messing with my phone.
I think its always good to have opera installed just incase you havent got much signal as it loads pages super fast.

I use Boat Browser Mini, it's really realy fast and simple

Stock browser is ok, but I wasn't quite satisfied myself.
So tried Dolphin HD, wasn't really impressed, can't see what other people find so great about it.
Now using Opera, works the best so far. It's a bit too much of a memory hog for my liking, but overall I'm much happier with it.

i use dolphin HD and opera browser, since my stock browser always suddenly close with no error or force close especially when open the site which has many flash player

Been using Dolphin HD and Skyfire until I discovered Opera Mobile which is significantly faster in scrolling and zooming.

Dolphin browser HD, and Opera

use dolphin browser hd for viewing flash stuff youtube ect, firefox for downloading pron and opera mini if i need to save data.

Dolphin hd because of his great extensions...but opera mobile is better in smoothness

BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.

just installed those files, working well. thanks.

Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you

Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

Nice one, works a treat!

Is the anyway I can get this working in Australia?
I was born in England, and as such I really like all the tv programmes ect, but the app says it only works in the UK.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

My favorite browser

So I own the nexus 7 for 3 days now and I love it. But I've never been a fan of the chrome browser cause I think its too inconsistent for me. So I tried many different browser:
Mozilla: OK but sometimes not fluid
Maxton: nice and fluid with ability to support flash but sometimes not responsive
Chrome: default browser, fairly fast rendering but can stutter from time to time.
So I've been trying Dolphin browser since yesterday and I love the experience. Easy access to bookmarks, fast rendering, fluid with little to no lag, just an all around solid browser that I would recommend to anyone. What about you guys, which browser do you use and which one would you recommend?

I like opera a lot. But that was when using my galaxy s2. Now that u just got a nexus 7, I think I'll try dolphin on it. I never really liked dolphin on the s2,but maybe a tablet will be better.

I never liked dolphins on any of my mobile phones, but it rocks on the N7!

I personally like Chrome with this: http://droidnerds.com/content/how-to-permanently-have-desktop-mode-on-chrome-mobile-for-android/
But of course that is just my opinion.

Boat browser is my favorite with Dolphin browser not far behind. Both support flash and they offer all the options you could even need. Performance is top notch too!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm in the same boat as you, I use Dolphin on the Nexus due to Chrome stuttering on some sites, and the Lastpass integration is nice too. But Dolphin sometimes just closes and disappears for no reason which I haven't been able to figure out. No force close message or anything.

I like dolphin as well. The fullscreen mode is great. But I use FF Beta for flash videos.
I've heard good things about Boat Browser as well.

+1 ... Love the Full screen mode.

chrome drives me nuts with the zoom box whenever I try to click a small link, and firefox seems to constantly follow the wrong link, and doesn't allow you to correct and redirect even though it's highlighted the correct link after the fact. I also don't like how firefox reloads when you click "back" rather than loading a cache. Guess I'm going to have to try dolphin, but FML how hard can it be to get an awesome browser from google of all companies...

I totally understand what you're saying. I'm coming from an iPad 3, which is honestly a great tablet despite apple being a bunch of douchebags lol, and safari works flawlessly. ..I mean FLAWLESSLY it is incredibly smooth and fast. If Google could do the same with chrome that would be much appreciated. But in the mean time Dolphin is very good.

I actually really like that feature, but I don't use chrome because it's sluggish on heavy pages.
I'm bouncing back and forth between Chrome, Boat and Dolphin with no clear winner yet.

I've side loaded the dolphin beta with dolphin engine, works for me

I prefer the stock ICS browser. You need root to use it, though.

Chrome lags too much.

I guess whatever the latest version is. I didn't have any problem downloading it. After a couple days of use and trying other browsers, Dolphin is hands down the best browser for the N7 in my opinion.

Dolphin and Boat are browsers, they are just browser skins on the stock browser.
Only Opera Mobile, Chrome and Firefox offer TRUE browsers.
Out of these, Opera Mobile wins by a mile, it's twice as fast as all the others, and it's rendering seems to be more how the page should look when viewed on a tablet.

ICS Browser+
What about ICS Browser+ ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus (i don't know if it's posible to install on Nexus 7)
I used it on my Iconia Tab A500 (I'm waiting for my new Nexus 7 now) instead of stock browser.. It look like stock browser, but it's a bit faster and better.
