Internet explorer 9

Now since ie9 has been released to public beta can we get a chrome2phone addon for it that would be perfect or someone try to find a work around to get it working. Thanks.

Nobody cuz it has nothing to do with the Nexus One, which happens to be the forum you're posting on.

Well, kinda, a little - He (and others I guess would too) has a Nexus One, likes what he sees in IE9 & would like msie2phone

I hate to admit it, but I've been comparing the latest IE9 Beta to the latest Chrome6 Beta. IE9 (for HTML5) performance is a GOOD DEAL better on almost every site i visited (both MS and non MS sites). I estimated some of the performance tests were more than 3 times faster in IE9!
Give the tests a go here: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
While I am staying with Chrome for now, I will definately be tempted to go back to IE if HTML5 in Chrome does not improve.
Disclamer, it could be that the Chrome installation on my PC is no good!?!

Yeah IE has always and will always suck. I can't possibly think of any reason somebody would want to use IE when there's Firefox and Chrome (even Opera and Safari). With anything made by MS you have to spend all your time configuring it and apparently you need to go through an entire workaround just to set Google as the default search engine. Don't even attempt to tell me that you really prefer "Bing".

Actually I hate having seperate web browsers I have tried them all and I love ie especially since the ie9 beta was just released. But everyone has there own preference and mine is ie all I was wanting was chrome2phone to run on ie is their anything wrong with that.

Nothing wrong w/u'r question. I'm no longer using chrome since IE9beta rocks!

I been working all morning on trying to figure out how to create a Haddon for ie9 so we cab have ie2phone I will get it eventually once I do I need help developing a webpage for this.

Any luck yet on this? I've been using the IE9 beta, and it is sweeet. Only weakness is I really hate having to open firefox or chrome to send stuff to my EVO. We really need IE9-to-phone.

I know there's Android 2 cloud, like chrome 2 phone, but in reverse. Throwing it out there in case someone hasn't heard. I use chrome though, so can't help you there. =D G' luck.

its buggy yeah, but they will fix that. LOVE the bookmark/password sync with your desktop pc, and as soon as they fix addons and JIT.... oh man its gonna be nice.

^nice avatar, the att logo imposed over the death star, kinda acurate.
ill give fire fox a shot. i kinda like opera mini but firefox looks cool

Wrong forum. This is an app right. And there are many better browsers currently than firefox.

Just tested it, I love desktop Firefox, but this version is much slower, and is having much bigger problems with elements like Flash than default browser - it definitly has much to improve.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

It's very buggy

Everything takes time to improve. No doubt mozilla will be making it better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Ok. Just installed and tested it out. it sucks. Way slower than stock browser and flash doesnt work at all, what gives. I was hoping hulu would work. No dice. I know its just beta though oh well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Its got a nice UI, but its pretty slow right now.
Stock browser as always been the fastest and the must compatible with websites (formatting).
However, xScope comes as a very close second with great speed and functionality. The new version has a nice ui, but the free version has a watermark (xScope 6). The old paid version is now free on the developer's website however.
(these comments are based on my experiences looking for the best browser)
Stay with stock or try xscope imo

Yeah, the sync is one thing that I live by right now as I move from OSX, Ubuntu, Windows, Android it is nice to have the same thing everywhere. Marry it up with LastPass and all is rocking perfect.
I have Dolphin HD as my primary still though. Firefox will get there. I suspect that as the tablets start hitting the market, and FF4 goes mainstream we will see a huge push in this dev as there will be a huge market for it.

I downloaded the fennec browser but how can I install it. When I try to open it I get a message saying its blocked because its not from android marketplace?

Need to be rooted - or you can use the Wonder Machine to sideload applications to your phone.

I think we are losing sight of the fact that this is a BETA! nowhere near the final product, I have been testing this app since pre-alpha and it has made miles of improvements, if the fixes continue at the rate they have been since it was available for download, the final product will sail

Totally agree. This product is no release candidate. Look at it for potential, not current usability.

New beta is now smoother and faster than dolphin
Still no flash, and the dumb thing restarts everytime you go into it. You lose your last webpage.
I also noticed that you can't pass url's into it (like out of an sms)
Using it sparingly now over dolphin because it's smoother. No replacement yet.

I just downloaded and installed the latest. Slow and buggy.
Uninstalled.
Will definitely try at a future time.

Google Chrome on a GB TB

Found this. It will install on our TB, but I do believe it is not fully developed. But it is still nice to have Chrome on a GB Device.

According to one of the comments on that page they say it's not Chrome and instead a Chinese browser called Miren. I have not downloaded this yet to try it out. Miren use to be on the android market about a year ago.

No, its clearly not chrome. It's supposed to give the feeling similar to chrome, and it certainly does. But after trying it, I'm just going to stock to the stock internet browser.

Yea its def not Chrome. But it is not a bad browser. I have not had a problem with it. But i haven't used it that much.

I've just tried with both stock (AOSP) and the none beta Firefox and it works fine for me. Bit surprised TBH as I'm in the UK and expected it to be geo IP locked.
Might be worth trying the none beta Firefox and see if it makes a difference.

+1 for Boat browser

Both my sons N7 and mine will not run flash. Even though it is loaded and showing in the app drawer. I even tried Boat and still nothing? I guess I will try and undo/reinstall everything. Too weird..

Like the above poster said, enable flash in settings. Also, set plugins to auto for best performance.

I'm running the Flash Player 11 v11.0.1.153 armv6.apk with Firefox beta, latest version downloaded yesterday and on some sites like Biography.com the video plays but no sound. Just downloaded Boat and it doesn't work at all, says Flash needs to be installed. Both browsers obviously have plugins enabled.
Running stock 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7.

Best browser for nexus 7

Firefox vs chrome vs Dilphin ..
Addons vs speed vs gestures, which is better in ur experience ?

I periodically try the others, but keep going back to Maxthon. Not much in the way of add-ons, but then I don't need much. The built-in "reader" mode works for most sites and gives an easy-to-read, clutter-free experience.

Boat browser, by far.

Tried a lot of browsers but stock browser is still my favourite by far. Its Quick Controls feature is something I can't live without.

I was actually getting fed up last night with chrome and chrome beta crashing every 2 seconds so i jumped on play store and grabbed a random browser just for fun, i found UC Browser HD and so far i absolutely love it! It works great in portrait and landscape and it feels like it loads pages really quick. Also, i almost forget to mention two finger swipe for adding and closing tabs and a handy little toolbar on the bottom right that you can add shortcuts to, right under where your right thumb usually rests.

I'd like to mention that for me UC browser was horrible because it spammed my devices. I complained directly in their forum and asked for ad free version but they don't have a pay version. So for me UC was out of the game.

For me it's mostly chrome as I have no bugs and it works flawlessly with chrome on my desktop for bookmarks and tabs. Stock browser for everything else because of flash.. And the speed. Gotta love that speed.

It seems like everyone is stating something else. I think it's best to just try some and see for yourself.

Just like roms and kernels, that is the one universally correct answer.

I prefer using the stock aosp browser but on my n7 it geta wonky on every rom ive tried. It will randonly freeze up and fc and stop being able to go back to the last page. I dont have time to get around and try every rom because of time and because i have 3 users on the device so restoring is a *****. If someone could pm me a rom that the aosp browser (not chrome) works good for them id appreciate it.

Opera is amazing. Chrome is good. Firefox has really upped their game lately and I still hate stock.

Well, I use ad blocker, too. When using UC Browser the first page/start screen showed always ads. To be true, if you're willing you can ignore it... but I am very sensitive to ads. They annoy me. :angel:
For all fans of Dolphin browser ->
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319529
Right now I'm using stock CM browser.

The AOSP browser by a long mile, IMHO... Sure, the other browsers (Dolphin, Opera, Maxthon) might have more options (lots of bells and whistles), but AOSP has the edge in terms of speed and smoothness.
For anybody not rooted or unwilling to flash a custom ROM, then Lightning Browser is the next best thing to the AOSP browser... (IMHO, of course).

Hi, youdug...
I've never experienced any problems with the AOSP browser in Paul O' Briens MoDaCo ROMs... including the CyanogenMod variant I'm currently running...

On my Galaxy 3, I prefer Boat Browser (it's unbelievable fast),
But on my n7, I use Firefox because of f-sync, add-ons and flash...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Tried almost all browsers in market and my favorite browser is AOSP browser love that speed and flash support. But sometime using Chrome because of browser sync feature is really useful.

How do I get firefox to work with flash ?
I tried installing the archived android flash from adobe website and nothing ?

I've recently switched to AOSP browser, and I'm happy with it.
I used chrome before, but got annoyed by those popup bubbles when clicking links, because it ended up showing a bubble EVERY time I'd click something.
And also I can't stand their text scaling, most signatures on XDA were MASSIVE while actual posts were tiny.
I tried other browsers as well, every one had something that bugged me (like swiping from one side would bring up a menu or such...)
I still use Firefox occasionally when chrome or AOSP won't download something or for very rare flash.
