Battle of the Web Browser - Is Dolphin Unbeatable?

OK but I am saying that you are using crap. Dolphin is crap because of privacy issues.

Spying also wastes battery power, bandwidth, and CPU cycles.

You do realise that Chrome/whichever browser you are using is collecting all of your data as well?
Its not as though this is a Dolphin specific problem.

I know the problem is not a Dolphin-specific issue. Dolphin / Boat / Next Browser / UC / Maxthon / One Browser / and others are garbage. Just check out the privilege requirements.

You are wrong that the browser I am using is collecting my data. My browser collects absolutely no data, it never has, and it never will.

I just started using habit browser today and it seems awesome. I have been a dolphin user for 2 years now but this one seems a lot faster in loading pages and managing them with gesture controls. I liked dolphin but this one seems way superior in terms of speed and access.

Yet to see if it supports numerous add ons like night mode etc in dolphin. Might stick to it after trying if it feels right.,

I found 2 of em on play store and installed the 1st one below. Can somebody explain the diff?

Naked browser is best

Im using a modded version of Quick ICS Browser v. 1.1.8 and I like it a lot,its same like the stock but all the options are available on the quick controls including Exit and its also customizable.

chrome was just updated with a data compression feature to save data volume ( enable it in settings)
It is like opera mini compressing stuff serverside.

Chrome is no way near to being perfect,dolphin is way better than chrome
I myself use(prefer) opera mini,it's really fast,believe me,i only have 100 mb internet data(no wifi at home )gprs speed,but 80 % of the pages load within 5 seconds
One of the con of OM is the lack of flash otherwise its highly recommended when in a no wifi zone

I have tried out a couple of browsers, and I really like the changes Google have made to Chrome. It's way more usable and has been stable so far on 4.4.2

This week I decided to try another browser since I have had Boat browser for a year (one of the best simple, ultra smooth and fast I ever tried).

I tried Firefox, Chrome Beta, Next browser, UC browser, Dolphin. All of them are pretty good browsers and was too hard to choose one. I think it doesn't gonna help anybody because it depends which kind of features are you interested and what they offer to you.


I present my personal results in order:


Best for plugins: Firefox, Dolphin, UC browser, Nextbrowser, Chrome beta, Boat browser

Best speed: Boat browser, Next browser, UC browser, Dolphin, Chrome beta, Firefox

Best interface: Next browser, UC Browser, Dolphin, Boat browser, Firefox, Chrome beta

Best performance: Chrome beta, Boat browser, Next browser, Dolphin, UC browser, Firefox

Useful integrated tools: UC browser, Boat browser, Dolphin, Next browser, Firefox, Chrome beta


As I said all of them are very good in anything but I finally chose Next browser for a while because interface, tools and a simple pack of plugins are all that I need for now (I only miss the gestures u_u it doesn't have this feature for now).

I've been using "browser" by digital cookies. Its a stock AOSP browser and works well. I don't think there are privacy concerns with it, maybe an expert can chime in. Its small, fast, has incognito, flash etc.

One thing I like about it, having an HTC, is that it nullifies the htclinkify that was a product of the apple lawsuit. So when I click on a YouTube link it opens in the app instead of the browser like the stock. All in all pleased.
