Default Browsers

Get guy, I'm curious as to what browser you're using? I'm using boat mini.

Its light weight loads quick no lag very clean interface, which was just updated recently.

The default browser I found very laggy. Then I tried dolphin.. too much uneeded bloat and in my opinion, not a great interface.

My 2 cents on a few I've tried.

DONATE TO ME
Installed the Boat and so far it certainly seems "spritely".

What I like so far:
* Using the volume buttons to zoom
* 'Paste and Go' option for the address bar
* Small app footprint = Fast load
* The green denim theme is nice

What I don't like so far:
* Text re-flow isn't as good as Operas' (such as viewing forums)

Has a lot of promise, I'll continue to try it out. thanks.

I installed Boat... not the mini version. I like it very much. So much I uninstalled Maxthon. Thanks for the heads up!

So far I like the Boat Browser. Very snappy and quick and clean. Almost no lag noticeable. I like it over Opera, Dolphin and of course the stock browser.

One thing it does great as well, and that is youtube. I currently use it to play videos on youtube since the default app for youtube is still broken.

Edit: Alright, so as always, I can't find a browser to run the video's of the desktop version of Youtube properly. On Boat Browser, when you double tap on the video to make it full screen, you only get a small box for the video and the rest of the screen is black. This happens regardless of what resolution the Video is at (360 or 720).

My current solution to it for now is to just manually enlarge the video by pinching it out until it somewhat fits the screen. It is not true fullscreen, but it is better than nothing. And on a good note, the damn browser runs 720P videos like butter!
