I like the stock browser, but was wondering if anyone tried installing another browser that seems to be better than the stock browser? If so, please lemme know its name and reasons why it's better. thanks
 
I prefer FireFox because of the synchronization ability. I prefer dolphin hd though for useability.

Speed Wise:
Skyfire
Stock
Dolphin
Opera
Firefox

I say go with stock first then Dolphin next.

I don't know what you're talking about Opera Mobile runs Flash just fine for me.

I setup Google browser as the default browser for everything. But I use Opera whenever I want to browse the web. I love tabs and Opera does it much better than anyone, IMO.
 
I use Dolphin HD and Miren Browser, I also have Firefox installed but that is more so I can get updates. Firefox isn't quite up to speed yet, but I expect it to be one of the best out there once they get it completely ready (I know it is technically not a beta anymore, but there are still some issues).

Skyfire is a solid browser as well, as is X-Scope.
 
So which browser plays Flash content the best? The stock one gives me errors when I'm on some sites that play ads in between segments. And one more question, can any of these browsers trick Hulu into thinking that it's a full sized browser?
 
I downloaded Dolphin HD and I notice that I can't get it to take me to a non-mobile website even after I change the setting. Am I looking at the wrong setting? I go to "More" and click "Mobile View". Doesn't change the view. Oh and I'm not seeing flash any better on it than I do on the default browser.

Set it as a Desktop connection.
 
IMO... NetFront Access is the best browser i used so far... although Dolphin is great but the browser i am using right now is the best! i never see anyone mention it in any forum! try it out guys. Thanx
 
I downloaded Dolphin HD and I've noticed when I go to SouthParkStudios.com or theDailyShow.com, it loads the ads, and then it pauses a couple of times and gives me a list of related videos. Never plays the actual content except for the 1st commercial. Is there a setting to fix this, other than viewing the content on a notebook or desktop computer.

I don't mind sitting through the ads, but I don't get the video content when the ads are done. It just pauses and attempts to load, and then it gives me "related video" content. Like the cell companies don't want you to go to sites that will stream a lot of data that you'd actually want to watch on your cell phone....
