What's the best replacement for XZ stock browser (Chrome) - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read about lags in Chrome Browser (sincerly I didn't experience them yet). :fingers-crossed:
Which is the fastest (and most performing browser) for XZ? Where to get it? (Except those available on the Play Store?)

The XZ doesn't have THE stock Android browser, only Chrome.

One word...
Opera

Dolphin Browser is the way to go. Everything just works and they have fantastic plugins and a clean, very understandable user interface.
I prefer dolphin above any other browser on mobile devices.

Firefox
the small app browser is good

Dolphin Browser for sure.

Netherlands here.
It didn't matter for me if it had the stock Android browser or Chrome, since I only use Dolphin.

I like the new Opera beta. Not entirely stable yet, but nice still..

If you're looking for speed, try puffin or lightning browser. If you want best flash support, Firefox beta.

Browser = choppy

Isit possible to make the browser less choppyy? Cause its not really *smooth* XD on certain pages
Install a custom rom, preferably cm7

Use latest Opera Mobile (not opera mini) instead of the stock browser, it will be much smoother
It has also inbuilt flash, so you will have everything what you have in stock but faster/smoother

Hi ehmjay, why not simply use a better browser such as Miren available for free from the marketplace? This browser let's you choose the UA from a list. In my humble opinion it is the best browser, for simplicity functionality and speed.

i just thought that stock browser with updated uastring would be faster than 3rd party ones

Hi, the stock browser isn't the fastest. And anyway changing the UA string of the stock browser will not change the performance of the browser. Try Miren it is very fast & very free.

Yo can still reactivate it, just at your own risk since it freezes up every browser I have tried....

Best browser for flash video/atdhe

Hey im looking for a browser that can play flash videos. Specifically id want the browser to be able to run videos through the website atdhe.eu. so far ive tried the standard browser, chrome, skyfire, and dolphin. None of them worked. The website streams through computers fine (ive found the best success with Firefox rather than chrome).
Im using motorola atrix hd with ICS
Thanks!

You need a different version of flash player...
Opera maybe?

What browser are you using?

I was using chrome from day one. Ended up using the stock internet browser to watch a flash video. It was much faster. Has anyone else experienced this as well?

I've been using chrome since it syncs with my pc. I've been thinking about switching to stock for the flash support, but iono, I'm so used to chrome
Yeah chrome has been my go to browser since day one as well. Stock browser seems really nice, but I just love chrome too much. Maybe I'll rotate them... But probably not.

Chrome for me as well. Just can't seem to give up the connectivity to my other devices. Open tabs, bookmarks etc...
Chrome as well, PC Sync makes it the clear winner in the Browser category for me.

How were you able to get flash working. Tried watching a flash video today using the stock browser and it kept telling me I needed flash installed
Edit:
Yup just I installed the latest flash version from the thread and nothing

Yeah I'm using chrome beta with data compression enabled it is by far the fastest especially on sprints limited service

Chrome, verry nice look, clean interface, fast and reliable sync.
An excelent browser!
disabled Chrome, don't like it, never have. I am currently using One Browser, very quick.
I really want to use Chrome, but I prefer the Android stock browser's tab management better, specifically that the browser closes when you close the last open tab. If this can be done in Chrome, I've never seen the option to do it.

I really like dolphin but it stutters for me on a lot of sites I regularly visit which I use Chrome and stock when the stuttering gets to be too much

Maxthon browser for me, it's fast in areas where I have bad data. And I always have bad data.
Chrome and the stock Internet browser are good for quick things.. But even telling it to give you the desktop site, it typically doesn't.
Everyone do yourselves a favor and try opera on this thing.
