Re: [Tablet] Favorite Browser?Dolphin with a side of Chrome. My ASUS RT-AC66R router won't load on Dolphin 10.0.1. Though it does with Dolphin BETA 1.3.1 or Chrome. I think Chrome is clunky, where many of the add-on's to Dolphin greatly add to it's usability. Normally I keep it on Desktop mode once in a great while reverting to android mode.
When awaiting a bus using the auto reload to see where the bus is in route saves time. Chrome would require a deliberate refresh. Once in a while if I need a bookmark or history from my desktop I'll open Chrome but Dolphin is the BOSS! |

Chrome for it's syncing abilities. It seems to do the job well. |

I notice a lot of people like Chrome for its syncing. But Firefox does the same thing. I am sure there are other browsers that can do the same. Is there a particular reason people prefer Chrome's sync? |

I don't know if it's been said but chrome needs to allow resize of text when you resize a page.. all the text is just off the screen when you zoom in. |

That seems to be an area where a lot of the Android browsers could use some help. I have the same problem with Puffin. |

I don't understand why the stock browser still can't block ads and popups.
What's the best free alternative in that regard nowadays? I use FF on my desktop, but when it first came out on Android it got bad reviews. |

VRe: [Tablet] Favorite Browser?I've been using Dolphin, made the switch from Firefox, but I find Dolphin uses a lot if data, does anybody else notice this? Previous versions of Dolphin weren't this bad. |

I'm giving FF a spin. Noticed some oddities including you can't scroll in any direction. You're limited to left/right or up/down; no 45° for large, non-mobile optimized pages like you can with the stock browser. |

As someone with a few modded old phones and a few new ones, Opera Mini is the overall best with Dolphin with the jetpack HTML5 engine as a backup for pages needing more advanced scripting capability(very few pages render poorly in Opera Mini). Have opera set to http connection over Hola on my modded Wildfire S with JB(my take around phone) and it flies even on a 2G connection(You run into that on T-Mobile outside the city) and sips the battery. Battery is 1 area Opera Mini excels, which many don't seem to look at with browsers. |
