For the s3? I usually just stuck with the stock browser for my previous android phones, but I can't stand the galaxy s3 browser. A lot of pages take forever to load even though my connection is fast and some images overall for me are kinda glitchy when they load.

Dolphin is by far the fastest, but it's not usable. Double tap to zoom, zooms in from the left regardless of where on the page you target. Text reflow isn't great either. When you do zoom in on text it also sometimes cuts off a letter or two at the right edge. If they fixed these zoom issues it'd be very good. Has some other very good features as well.

Since Chrome is the next fastest I use that mainly, but certain flash sites like justin.tv require a browser that supports flash (any other one).

I've tried them all over the years. There is nothing like Chrome, especially if you use it as your main browser on all your other devices/computers. The tab syncing is ridiculously convenient, and you can have all your bookmarks in one place. It's also a fantastic tabbed browser.

The fact that Chrome doesn't support flash almost means it is doing you a favor!

The synching and info sharing between them is pretty awesome. I do like the a wiping between tabs as well.

+1 for Chrome.

Definitely the best IMO. As far as fluidity and functionality I like it the best. Honestly not having flash is a plus for me because it doesn't get bogged down trying to load up all the flash ads.

Netscape. :thumbup:

Nah, just playing. Been using dolphin because I've never found a reason not to. Checked out chrome in the play store but didn't download it after reading through some of the reviews. Maybe I'll have to check it out again though, seems like some of you are pretty big fans.

I say use whatever browser you use on your computer. If you use Chrome, use chrome. If you use Firefox, use Firefox. if you use Opera, use Opera. If you use Internet Explorer, kill yourself or get another browser.

Basically, Chrome, Firefox and Opera mobile are all fantastic browsers for the phone, each has their upsides and downsides but they all can sync bookmarks, tabs, searches, etc with their desktop counterparts. So use whatever you use on your computer-I like both chrome and firefox on my phone but mostly use chrome because it has a great UI and runs really well.
