Favorite Internet Browser

Hands down dolphin HD. It's like the jessica alba of web browsers. I've gone stock, used skyfire, opera, all that and could never find the overall experience i get with dolphin. Couple things i dig about it:

*kick ass tab management
*themes
*apps you can download and use specifically in the browser, like screen capture, speed dial bookmarks and shake-to-change-tabs
*gestures: draw a shape on the screen and go to the site you want
*smooth pinch to zoom
*password manager
*setting to identify to websites what you are: i'm always "desktop" so i never get mobile websites when i go to them
*swipe left to get boomarks/other options and right to get apps
*starts up quick
*uses flash well without crashing

This is the video i saw a few months ago that convinced me to give it a shot. Browser's been updated and changed a bit since then.

X2 definitely a lot easier to navigate with and the home screen makes it easy to access your favorite website quickly
 
Firefox beta for anything without videos, but Skyfire for anything with them.

I use FF because I can link it with the FF on my computer and still use my passwords and bookmarks without any hassle plus it auto syncs. :) Skyfires great for anything with a flash video though because it actually plays them in the browser. Havent used Dolphin for a minute though although I have and liked it.
 
With every phone I've owned, I try every available browser and have always ended up settling for the stock browser. The Thunderbolt continues this trend for me.
 
+10,000 for DolphinHD. It's the best browser available and the gestures are insanely useful.

To the guy who said "why have two browsers installed if you don't have to" If you're rooted you can remove the stock browser so you only have one.
 
THe stock browser as I dont go to many websites on my phone. Plus if it displays what I am reading then thats good enough for me.

I was never quite sure about that. Thanks for that. Removing even more bloat.

Stock browser needed what about settings in stock browser?
 
Just one vote for Miren browser? It's my favorite cause its faster and lightweight. But I also have Dolphin, which is another solid browser.
 
I love dolphin HD. However, there are a couple of sites that simply don't work with Dolphin, for some odd reason. But they do work with the stock browser. Makes o sense to me. One site is Starfall.com - a site for kids learning. you can get to the site, but then when the learning module starts it doesn't work in Dolphin. Drives me nuts.
