[Q] Web Browser Poll - Which on is your favorite?

Latest nightly builds of Firefox for Android have been fixed so they now work on the Kindle Fire HD 7, as they are nightly expect bugs though, just tried the latest & it had a few annoying UI bugs & when entering text I found no way to go back and edit what you typed, say if you spelt something wrong you'd have to delete every word or letter after that error to go back & correct it, Flash works OK though & I tried a few extensions but I'll be sticking with Dolphin for a while yet.
Anyway for those wanting to try it out, go here & download on your tablets current browser - http://nightly.mozilla.org or download the APK on PC & sideload that way.
Edit: Fix has made it to the Aurora builds as well starting from version 20.

SKORPiO1975,
There you are SKORPiO1975! Looks like Dolphin is winning by a long shot, although Mozilla is
slowly gaining momentum after the Aurora Version 20 release. I do like Opera although the
buttons are really small but the attention to detail in Opera is top notch. I lost a little bit
of faith in Chrome on my desktop. When it is under a high load it suddenly crashes with
no way to recover my work. So, let's say I have spent 6 hours writing a tutorial and I
open a demanding application - Chrome will suddenly close for no apparent reason! I
used to love Chrome until this ugly bug appeared.

I'm really enjoying Chrome syncing with Chromium. Dolphin comes in 2nd only because of this.

The main issues I had with firefox to include the nightly builds was that it would launch and then go into a loop of sorts. Open close, repeat. It would allow me to type into the nav bar but then immediately loop. Average was about 3 seconds after opening for it to start.
FireFox Bugs
oB_Mike,
Yes, I too noticed odd behavior. I believe the problem was patched with a band-aid of sorts, so the problem was never directly resolved. Let's face it, the browser Footprint is FAT, very large.

Yes, Chrome has nice features and is a solid browser. The one aspect of Chrome that I do like is the automatic Bookmark Sync, it is by far better than Firefox Sync. Thank you for taking the time to let us know which one you liked.

Maromi,
This has been a very interesting thread, it has really opened my eyes to different browsers. Have you tried Boat Browser? If you like Chrome and Dolphin you will love Boat Browser, it has the features of Chrome with the speed of Dolphin. Boat Browser is based on Dolphin, just FYI. Thank you for taking the time to post your comments.
