Which browser are you using on your Optimus?

Tried Mirin, but didn't care for how it left bits of thumbnails in my Gallery. Tried Opera and flat out hated it (although the PC version is not bad), tried Dolphin for about a week and then uninstalled it but I can't remember why lol. I hate the built in browser.

Right now I'm using Skyfire, and the only thing I don't care for is that bottom bar.
 
I keep going back and trying the default browser, but keep finding the things that made me leave (probably due to no updates)... like half the websites I visit don't let me zoom (like Facebook), and it's slower to load many of the pages I visit. Skyfire is what I had settled on (pretty much let's you control everything), and Netfront Life2 is high on the list.

Anyone else using xscope? Just me? I've definitely stuck with it the longest out of any. Liked netfront life, can't quite remember why I quit using it, but I know it was something substantial. Xscope is fast, can import /export bookmarks to google, has themes, etc etc... If you're looking to switch, try it out. I've also used Dolphin mini, opera mini, skyfire, miren, boat, and the aforementioned netfront life. Xscope=win. :)
 
I'll use any browser that always saves my open tabs. So far none do. They do for a while sometimes. And if I open via short cut different tabs are open than when I open via a link in gmail.
 
So quick question about Skyfire.

Am I able to stream videos from Hulu or will it only play flash videos from specific websites?
 
For anyone interested to give it a try, UC Browser has a new update. New UI interface, set image quality and data saving browser mode. I'm giving it a try and see if I like it :)

It will only play flash video from a webpage you are on. Will not do games from a webpage.

Just downloaded it from the market will try it out. Thanks for the info
 
I moved from Xscope to Boat Browser, just like it's simplicity. Looks good in black theme. Fast as any of them. I use "Bookmark Tree Manager" to go directly to sites I like to visit rather than using the internal bookmarks in Boat.
 
I use dolphin HD. It is much faster than stock. I didn't go with opera as it sometimes screws up the webpage with it's compression.
 
I just updated my Dolphin HD to latest version 6.0, but I can't get the new dolphin hd icon on my home screen. I'm stuck with the old icon. Does anyone have the same problem or know any solution?

Edit: Fixed. Got the new dolphin hd icon by rebooting my phone.
