There's an adblock option for Dolphin.....?

The 11.3.4 version has a working flash option for lollipop, so that is good

Ad blockers are not allowed on the Play store so you'll need to grab the APK from Dolphin's site (which also offers the modified Flash): http://dolphin.com/lab/en

I've been using opera for a while which I like, but going to give dolphin a try, I don't like chrome as the websites of browse don't let me play videos full screen otherwise it would be perfect

Edit: dolphin is even worse the mobile sites are all blurry

Chrome here too!

Opera for ocuk as it's the only thing renders the text properly.

Chrome for everything else

Chrome lacks gestures, which I use all the time to quickly scroll to the top and bottom of web pages.

Normally Boat Browser for the instant gestures, Dolphin if I need Flash.

aosp/chrome depending on task.

If you're rooted, and if you're on 4.4.4, there's an xposed module to add thumb gestures to chrome

Opera - the text wrapping is essential if you want to zoom in and read with comfort without a need to pan left to right to read every time.

Dolphin for speedy quick checks.

Anyone know a fix for opera android 'couldn't load plugins'? I get this for every embedded youtube video in every post in the GD youtube thread. But there seems to be no flash/java/whatever plugin for opera mobile. Oddly though, youtube videos play normally in opera via the standard google page - Google Apps box/Youtube.

I've tried going from user agent mobile to desktop but no difference and there's no other settings I can find that will change anything.

Chrome. Syncs with my bookmarks on my desktop so that's pretty helpful.

I've tried a fair few browsers but always go back to chrome, I like the addons and functionality of firefox but it keeps crashing.
