Hi!
I'm recently using the Firefox browser because of very good performance and speed.
But I want to ask if I'm correct that it's draining the battery more than dolphin and stock browser? I think I noticed it but I'm not 100% sure so a feedback of other users would be nice

Tried maxthon and it definitely consumes less battery than the Firefox, thanks.
... The design of the Firefox and the battery consumption of the maxthon - that would be perfect for me

Does this browser drain the battery fast? I thought that my htc lasted a long time but after I installed the hd browser it seems as if my battery dies really fast. I do use juice defender and whatnot.

I doubt that the web browser alone is having any real effect on your battery life.
Unless you are surfing the web more, as a result of having a better browser, lol.

[Q] Which browser uses less battery among Dophine HD, stock browser, opera mini and opera mobile?
I am running on stock ics 4.03.

What about Chrome Beta?

i imagine a browser that has a inverted mode so all backgrounds are black will use the least battery as amoled screens use less power with darker colours
anyone know of a browser that you can have inverted colours?

I read somewhere a while back that it utilises hardware rendering (thanks why ICS only?) - so that may require more juice - I think

ICS Browser +
If you're on ics and want a good browser, if you have the phone in tablet mode <220 dpi then the stock chrome browser is spectacular, very close to desktop performance.

Post here about ur favorite browser and ur experience with it.
I use dolphin beta and opera mini.Dolphin is much faster.
i prefer google chrome. its clean, fast on our o2x
Definitely Maxthon for me. I've been using it on a PC for many years, and I like it very much on Android, too. It is fast, has a convenient interface. Dolphin is not bad, but I still prefer Maxthon (however, on Android it substantially lacks in config options and available plugins, compared to a PC version; hopefully, it will improve). I never really tried comparing them, but Maxthon feels snappier to me. I could never get into using Opera -- tried it on different platforms over years (PC, Palm, WinMo, Android), and always ended up abandoning it. Something about it just doesn't feel right for me...
Opera Mobile, fast, smooth, simple UI. It's only one browser that isn't focusing after zooming.
Dolphin on my O2X, as it's the only browser that doesn't suffer from as many FCs as Opera and stock GB.
On my DZ, I just stick with stock.
Once CM10 is out, it'll be chrome for sure I have tried chrome on my friend's Nexus S and was quite impressed.
As for what I use on my PC, it's Chrome when in Windows and Firefox on Ubuntu.
Boat browser is my browser of choice.
Opera Mini Next

Maxthon is good, but it seems to get sluggish over time for me. Especially when browsing websites with lots of images. It probably relates to me having the quick back setting activated, but still very annoying. Therefor I prefer Dolphin in most cases. It seems to handle multiple tabs more efficiently.

Just used boat browser. First impression is that it is preety quick and have got some cool features.
Have you tested the new beta firefox? It's fantastic, it isn't laggy and it hasn't bugs. It is very fast!For me is perfect.

For less battery consumption go straight to AOSP Browser.

Why not root your device? Installing root takes 30seconds and so does removing it again.
You will only benefit from it.
You should try next browser. It's a brilliant app!

Opera browser is the best for me I've tried both of them and why don't you give a try to both browsers and then decide which one suits you

don't you have to unlock the bootloader to root?
and by doing so, you lose bravia and other features?

Opera 15 is great. But also amazing lightweight Naked Browser.
Opera Mobile Classic :good:
AOSP browser best of the best. Second place - Boat Browser. Third - Dolphine, but this browser have only fixed text size, it's no fine. Boat and AOSP have slider for text size.
I prefer dolphin if you have only these two candidates.
Boat Browser

I thank you for the answers but are still undecided and now also entered the boat browser, I only care that its low battery consumption and less heat face of chrome then the rest of the functions do not care ...
naked browser for me.

not if some apps wont work on a rooted device
Indeed. Many broadcasters won't let you stream their video on a rooted device. In fact, I'd suggest it's most if not all.

I don't get as much battery life on my nexus as I did on my htc m8, I was wondering if there are roms that focus on battery life
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
no. there are kernels that might help, but battery life is all determined by your use, your apps, your setup, and the quality of your phone/data signal.

I came from a M8. I'm on Pure Nexus and Hell's kernel http://decuro.de/downloads/kernel.php?kernel=222
I get amazing battery life and this ROM is hands down the smoothest without impacting battery. Give it a try.

+1 only I use Lean kernel. 5-6 hours SOT. Had to nix chrome for AOSP browser to get those numbers though.
To the OP, if you're using the Facebook app, consider ditching that and using mobile. Huge battery hog.

What worked for me:
Downloaded Benzo ROM and unzipped. Extracted AOSP browser. Pushed it to system/app and set permissions as needed.
