Best Android browser?

GeX · 1 Jan 2013 at 13:09

I prefer the ASOP browser, but am stuck with chrome at the moment. I dislike its' text rendering at differing zoom levels (reddit and forums show it up) the and the lack of full screen is annoying too.

Even though my stock browser is broken I find its quick controlseessential

I switch between ICS Browser+ and Firefox. If they merged I would be in heaven. The quick controls are superb whilst the syncing of bookmarks and adblock are great for the other.

You could just install the adblock plus app, works great for any browser, blocks ads in youtube videos and apps too and no need to root.

^ +1 on that.

Phone:
Opera Mobile. (The best rendering, text reflow, UI, and cloud rendering. It's quick too, shame they dumped Flash in JB)

Tablet:
Chrome.

Her guys,

I know it's kind of subjective but what is considered the best browser for Android these days? I use boat browser at the moment but I'm sure there must be something better out there these days.

Cheers.

Chrome for me is the best

I would use Chrome a lot more if it didn't cause my phone to lock up. Tried numerous roms based on 4, 4.1 and 4.2. After about 20 minutes of use my phone just grinds to a crawl and I end up pulling the battery.

Aosp browser for me.

Dolphin HD for general sites, Puffin for flash (tablet is ICS so no native flash any more).

Chrome for general browsing.

Quick ICS with custom font sizes for this forum.

I've only used stock, chrome and opera.

Chrome is the best, but I ditched it because it crashes regularly on my phone (Galaxy SII). Stock is OK, but I just use opera now...

I'm using Chrome on my stock s3, never had any crashes

I use Chrome for little bits of browsing on my Nexus 4 and use Firefox with Flash on my Nexus 10 for all browsing.

I like chrome but I know many don't.

Maxthon.

What a brilliant thing - the nightmode alone makes it worth it and I like how it defaults to a minimal fullscreen view. But all the controls are instantly accesible with a single tap to bring down the URL bar or the page-navigation keys. Binned Opera Mobile for this..something I never thought Id do. Well done to the Chinese!!
