Best browser for SM-60x?

vprasinos · Mar 20, 2014

What browser do you use? I am trying to find the a browser that has the following features:

1. Smoothness. Must have hardware acceleration enabled. I find that UC Browser HD is good in this section.
2. Has good HTML5 support (tested from html5test.com). I find Dolphin has the best.
3. Has fast javascript.
4. Supports gestures.
5. Supports proper fonts as set by site. For example UC Browser uses system fonts and it sucks..
6. Supports flash.

From my findings so far with Exynos (P600):
UC Browser is the smoothest because of hardware acceleration, has gestures, has flash, html5 support is good but not good at rendering fonts.

Dolphin with jetpack is close in smoothness but swiping up and down is too fast and the page goes to its top or bottom by a slight touch. Has the best html5 support and the gestures are not so great as UC.

Chrome beta is a bit behind in smoothness, great html5 score but lacks in gestures and no flash. I don't even discuss Chrome (plain), it is very jerky.

Firefox is a big dissapointment. I think however that Note 3 is great with firefox. I need some opinions from the Note 10.1 2014 Snapdragon users for Firefox (P601, P605).

Maxthon sucks bigtime. Your opinions please and if there is a dev that can suggest a speedup for a browser is welcome.

PS: I use a SM-P600 and have CleanRom and Bindroid kernel.

Dolphin with JetPack is a very good combination for html5 support but without jetpack is far from Opera Browser...

i have tested a lot of web browsers and the best browsers i found were Opera Browser, Boat Browser, and UC Browser (this one always freezes with no reason)

Opera, for overall smoothness. I use Outlook. Com to check my emails and Opera does the best rendering for that site too. Only gripe is the tiny fonts.

You guys might wanna try Habit Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ddo.pigsty.HabitBrowser). It is fast&smooth and extremly customizable. Probably the most feature packed browser in existance.
It takes some time to set it up and the menus might overwhelm at first but once you're done its amazing.

UC might become my primary browser in the future, but there are some issues (like font size) that need to be worked out first.

After reading your post I decided to give Boat a try. I must say I am impressed. So impressed I deleted Dolphin

I am using different browser. They are: Chrome, Firefox, Stock Browser and Skyfire Web Browser.

But I use Chrome most often because it is synchronized with my PC chrome and it supports pages translation..

You got the right man here.... uc browser ftw dude xD..... i contacted the developers several times and they listened and added my features

.... like the scrolling button which appears when you scroll very hard

... that comes from me telling them haha xD im their nr 1 tester xD.... I tested like almost every browser .... some come close but fail at smth....
And dude I advise you dont upgrade to kitkat... because you will have to stick with dolphin which freaking sucks your battery dry by playing flash.... 10 percent in 1 minute no lies happened to me.... if you have trouble with font size try ...exposed module "app settings" its awesome...you can even enable fullscreen mode which hides the status bar.... i am all about that stuff.... if you have more questions contact me... ill give you some advise.... those previous comments really have no clue what browsers to use

...... uc is the best ... i kinda would have wished for a decent firefox browser... but that thing is just so bad...... Uc browser dude there is nothing better... i even use an older version of it on my note 2

.... i wanted a browser which comes close to firefox on desktop.... uc is the choice.... other browsers have issues that casual user dont notice but there are there.... these ppl will recommend you any kind of random browser

.... uc nails it for a great UI ... adblock and widget buttons... and much more.... it comes closer to perfection every update

... try contact the devs for the font issue..... it doesnt bother me ... so....

I use Firefox Beta because I can syncrhonize it with my desktop-firefox and it's the only browser that does not corrupt downloadsand websites of my university.

Floating boat+lecture notes = no lag while writing and using web.
If anyone has used boat, and found something better then I'll try it

I tried it and love it, especially how fast and fluid it is, but is there any way to sync chrome bookmarks? Chrome has broken me bad in that regard.

There is no point just saying which browser someone uses without mentioning their model. The P600 is exynos which behaves differently than the P601/P605. Please state your browser along with your model as smoothness is subjective to the processor.
