Browser trouble

I know I know there's a list of 'best browser apps', blah blah blah.

I have a tiny problem however, tiny cause its the phone. I can't download a handful, if not, none of those browsers cause my phone doesn't support it.

I wanted to use Mozilla, badly, but I just can't have it, tried Beta and Aurora but nope, nada.

I'm looking for a browser for a ARMv6 processor. Any ideas on what would be a good one? *Something along the lines of having a good Ad-blocking feature*

I've searched some like Xscope and Dolphin and come up with over 20 different options with different variants of the name, I have no idea which is which.

I recommend Opera Mini (not Opera Mobile). Opera Mini is small. Also, most of the rendering of the page is done by Opera's servers, so it is very fast even on slow phones. I used it on my old Nokia N97 which extended its usefulness a bit.

Most of what you're seeing are add-ons. For Dolphin:

You'd probably want to check out Dolphin Mini (consider the requirement you posted).

For xscope you want the version suited to your device.

Firefox also?!
Firefox is a Mozilla project (see OP again).
 
Heh forgot about this, thanks, I'm going to be working on my Android a bit, I'll go with Dolphin, I've used Opera before for PC, did NOT work out too well.

Sorry for the hard requirement, its my phone's hardware that is to blame...stupid piece of tatertots...:mad:
 
I use Firefox on PC and Boat on phone. I just feel the phone is too small for all the FF functionality, so I wanted something small, fast and simple. I feel Boat suits me fine. I keep a "shortlist" Bookmark.html file on my PC that I have organized by category with a few favorite links in each category. I link directly with dropbox so the file is on my SD card, updated whenever I update it on my PC. I use the SD link as my browser home. Round about way to sync bookmarks, but works well. Could use my actual FF bookmark.html file, but I didn't want that many bookmarks on my phone. Boat seems to read mobile and desktop pages well and zooming and text wrapping works.
 
Epic bump, wanted to say I've finally come back and gone with Opera Mini. I now regret the last few months of my life using the stock browser.

All of you are credit to team. Thanks!
