Best Web Browser App?

I prefer it being able to save it, but there is an option to remember passwords, history, cookies, and clear on exit. I don't want to clear mine so not going to try it. Seems to be the same setting I see in every browser I've tried. I really trust Naked browser much more than any other more well known ones.

DATA
Naked Browser does not use data to spy, monitor, or even show ads. All data transfer is solely as a result of your requests & retrievals. Because Naked Browser is designed for efficiency, you may use more data simply because you can browse sites faster.
SECURITY
Naked Browser uses the Android WebView (WebKit) that's on your device--the same one used by the stock Browser. All data requests & retrievals, all cookies, all passwords, etc. are handled by the WebView and Naked Browser does not interfere with the default behavior.

edit: Now that I've done a little research, I'm not sure if anything is too safe. This doesn't sound to good, nor some other articles I read about Webkit.

Naked Browser, while fast, retains all my login and password information even after I had repeatedly cleared them in the browser settings. There was no way to remove my login and password information from Naked Browser unless I uninstalled it.

Which makes me very leery of Naked Browser. I would avoid using it with any website that requires login and has my private or credit card information.

Boat - I bought it simply to get rid of the crap they linked on the speed dial. Plus you can clear out almost everything on close. It also has private browsing.

BTW - the new Opera browser is rumored to be based on Webkit.

Settings->Apps select Naked Browser, Force stop, clear cache, Manage space, clear {everything} etc. didn't work for you? Remarkable ...

No, did not work for Naked Browser. When I pressed Settings -> Applications -> Manage Space for Naked Browser, the browser data settings (from the app) popped up instead of the Android clear function. The browser settings had replaced the Android's manage space function in the application menu.
