Dolphin HD is by far the best.

I hate the way the bookmarks tab looks on Chrome, and the fact that it has to pull them from the Web. Dolphin bookmarks and start page are win.

Definitely agree that Dolphin bookmarking is better, but it has it's own quirks. I can't seem to find a way to sort my bookmarks the way I want them. It just sorts them based on the most recent bookmark to the oldest.

Still, I absolutely agree that Dolphin HD is the best browser for Android. There is no comparison.

Boat

:laugh:If you haven't heard of it, your in the majority, but I think by far Boat is the best browser, hands down. I had never heard the name before, but saw it mentioned in a forum about 3 - 4 months ago, and have used it ever since. Every once in a while when one of the big names comes out with an update I will give it a try, but always wind up coming back to Boat. I guess trying an unknown name once in a while can really pay off.

No kidding, I can't believe people like this POS when it can't even zoom & text wrap correctly.

I don't even have it installed anymore because of these kind of glaring problems.
I honestly haven't seen pinch to zoom in any of my browsers work on the GSIII. Does Chrome or stock browser text reflow work for you guys? Feel like I missed a setting someplace.

I can't speak for the other browsers, but I know it works just fine in Boat.

Yep +1 for Boat Browser. Chrome is overrated.

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.

Been using boat for a while now but it still doesn't get the recognition it deserves. By far best browser experience. I've tried most of them

Stock, unless I need desktop mode then I'll use Dolphin. Has anyone else noticed even when set to desktop mode, some sites still show the mobile version or is that just me?

I also had not heard of Boat browser until a few weeks ago but I've gotta say this is as smooth and full featured as they come.

I have almost of them installed on my phone that had been mentioned except boat and usually stick with chrome.. if i need to download something ill use opera because it actually lets me choose where to save my files. (dont understand why more browsers havent taken that feature into account) ... Choices are great and this is why I love androids openness!!
