What is Dolphin Engine in Beta?

Dolphin Engine (in Beta) is an improved webkit version with extensive canvas enhancement and behind-the-scenes technology that makes it the highest performing HTML5 browser available today.

What does highest performing mean?

Scored over a 450 when tested on HTML5test.com. (HTML5test.com is an a respected tool for testing a browser’s support of HTML5)

Wow, this apk is pretty legit. I can browse desktop sites on my phone with little problems whereas before on previous browsers (stock, opera, chrome): the page would have problems rendering partial frames. I'm on AOKP mtdvibrant.

test it on my defy.
through i donot like dolphin at all.

Very fast. I dig it thanks

nazfalas · Jun 20, 2012

Very nice! Loading of pages is the fastest I have seen, yet.

Page scrolling on my Nexus One (CM7 Nightly) is still ways behind Opera Mini, but that is not a full-fledged browser so a comparison would not be fair.
Opera Mobile has about the same scrolling smoothness as Dolphin HD so that's that, but stock browser is smooth as a baby's butt for me...would love that for Dolphin as well.

drpsyko · Jun 20, 2012

Hmm? Dunno if it is just me or there is nothing displayed at all in the browser.

CADude · Jun 20, 2012

Ok this just became my default browser. Nothing tops this. Not even the Linaro Firefox nightlies.

Enterprise-D · Jun 20, 2012

Seems very buggy on my DHD, html5 doesn't work, images aren't displayed (I get a blue square), it crash on html5test.com

Is this related to the same company who runs dolphin browser? If yes I don't want anything to do with it.

Static-Noise · Jun 20, 2012

Installed it on my Sony Xperia S. It froze on first use and I had to reboot the phone. Tried it a second time and it froze again.

I think I'll stick to the original stable version.

And why is that?

because of the rush (i was late) i forgot my phone at home.

can someone tell me their html5 score on dolphin hd 8.2.2 please?
i remebre i tried it before and it was great even before the beta

Randomly freezes loading sites for me.. I certainly don't have to reboot my phone, about 15-20 seconds later Android offers the FC/Wait dialog.. Tried it 4-5 times, sometimes it loads a few pages, other times it freezes first try.

Stock rooted Gingerbread on Galaxy Note i717.

As for the Dolphin paranoia... Ignore it. Rumor turned into fact after going around the blogs/forums a few times, you know how that goes. Was related to their "Magazine" function, which IMO useless, but wasn't any cause to freak out about. Just something about their permissions as I recall; all long fixed.

.

same here. although I've never been a fan, and I love my stock, and Chrome, I set it as default just to really give it a chance with everyone calling it the best browser ever..... fast, but not fast enough to accept freezing. uninstalled

also, am I the only one who thinks it just doesn't look good?

I've been using the old dolphin for ages and love it.

The add ons make it really custom to me, Default browser.

Can't waittotry the new one.
Just hope it can use thr same add ons.

Fun With Drugs · Jun 21, 2012

I really can't tell a difference between this and the Dolphin HD I already use, except this beta makes all the text on the page blurry when I scroll.
What's supposed to be special about this one?

xstokerx · Jun 21, 2012

Love dolphin HD and this beta runs nice on my optimus 3d scored 435 plus 3 bonus on html5 rodent quiet run as smooth as HD but hey its a beta can't wait for full version

Official browser should be best, but google doesn`t care, at least there are ppl who actually make this android working...
Google should get rid of their ANCIENT compiler they using to make android. Android will be ~100% faster than we have today if they use new compilers, and they probably asking why there is so many customs ROM out there...

edit: Browser working nice on HTC Desire, far from Opera Mini but better than stock on big pages. Ok, it`s still beta.
