Chrome or Firefox on Android

opethdisciple · 31 Jul 2012 at 18:08

I currently just use the stock ICS browser on my GS2.

Which out of chrome and firefox is better?

Also on my phone I have the google search bar, which just opens up the stock ICS browser when a term is searched for.

If I installed chrome or firefox, will this default behaviour change? As in will it open wiht chrome or firefox rather than default ICS browser.

Chrome. Best non-stock browser I've used.

You can choose which browser is opened when searching, tapping links etc.

Neither!

Quick ICS browser FTW! :cool:

Firefox is terrible on android.

The new firefox is rather good. I use it for the same reason I use it on the desktop. Awesome bar. It's awesome.

Chrome, although the Swiftkey bug on the google page is ridiculously annoying

Chrome

I'm trying Dolphin HD from original recommendations but to be honest I'm not really liking it. I didn't like Chrome either. Bah!

Is that where you go to type and letters are just all over the place?

When Flash existed - Quick ICS Browser
Now on JB - Chrome

I hear chrome doesnt support flash? Or is just the JB version?

As for JB is it a nice upgrade from ICS?

Firefox. Chrome is nice but I find it crashes a bit too often for my taste ( galaxy s2 with official ics )

+1

Nothing can touch standard browser with Quick ICS bolted on.

Quick controls is just too good and quick access to all you functions in just one click.

Chrome. Firefox is so last decade.

Chrome was garbage last time I tried, probably about 5-6 weeks ago. It must have improved a lot since then as i was getting constant FC's on my galaxy s2

Dolphin Browser HD, I couldn't get Flash working on Chrome or the default browser.

ICS browser+ for me but looks like quick is the way to go.
