Default Browser Performance

I just picked up my Fire and wasn't entirely pleased with the browser performance, so I sideloaded Dolphin HD...definitely an improvement over stock Fire browser. Feel free to post any results you guys get from other 3rd party browsers so we know our options!

  • Nexus 7

Agreed...I went into the settings and unchecked accelerate page loading and that seemed to help with the speed. I'm not that impressed with the silk browser

I wasn't overly impressed with the speed to be honest with you, and after loading Firefox 7 on, I think I'll stick with that (plus I can use AddOns). Mobile browsing is never lightning fast, but I think they touted the Silk browser as the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not as convinced.

I installed Opera Mini and it works great. It's not full featured, but for general browsing it's much quicker than the stock browser.

I am also using Opera Mini.
As stated, it is much faster than the Stock Browser.

DONATE TO ME
Silk is smooth as...gravel :-/

Miren browser is super fast and has all of the features that I need. I am trying to get the stock aneroid browser loaded, that would be perfect.
