I am in love with this air traffic controller game

I have the 102nd best score in the UK (out of about 100,000!)

694 is my best score on the default runway

What browser are people using on android 4+?

 

[PiKe]

Stock.

 

[Nexus18]

ICS browser +

ICS quick browser is also a very good alternative.

 

[sunny007]

Opera

 

[Shady45]

My most used are...

Pocket - for passwords
Tapatalk - forum browsing
Hot UK Deals - deal browsing of course
My Setting - good for quick access
K9 Mail - email
Whatsapp - IM'ing
Color Note
Astrid Tasks

If you are rooted then titanium backup is essential imo

+1 for stock browser in ICS.

 

[Devious]

Chrome Beta seems best for forum reading. A couple of taps and it always zooms/fits all the text nicely.

I then use opera for any flash sites.

 

[shaffaaf27]

Chrome. Stock for flash. Firebox beta for downloads

Still on dolphin HD here. I've tried ICS+ but couldn't get used to it. Might give it another go over the next week and see how I get on.

 

[reflux]

Chrome. Loved it since it first came out. Bookmark sync is very handy too.

 

[Skillmister]

ICS+

 

[2StepSteve]

Dolphin HD here. Chrome fails to render some pretty basic sites at times, I hope it improves.

 

[Orcvader]

Dolphin HD user here too. Brilliant browser, better than stock. Love the fullscreen feature as well. Can't try the others since I don't have ICS...

 

[NorthstaNder]

ICS Quick browser here, but as soon as they sort out text box input it'll be Chrome all the way.

 

[Rimsy]

Chrome here mostly. Seems to be the most reliable for displaying websites correctly (especially with weird forms etc) and certainly fastest in my experience.

mrk and nexus18 - bought Nova Prime. The dock icon gestures are much more responsive - just like Go Launcher was. Apex sucks a bit there - rest is pretty much the same as Apex - Nova menus do seem a bit more polished like you said mrk - now to set the whole desktop again - ahh the joys!

Yeah I thought that too, very quick and responsive although I very rarely use gestures and have only really started to use them the last few days now so can't compare really

I am still flicking between apex and nova trying to get use to the slightly different looks regarding the widgets, lol Just something about nova and the way the widgets look!

For me the most annoying thing is getting the right shade of blue and grey text for snowstorm again!!!! Wish you could enter HEX/RGB number(s), make it so much easier.

Check the desktops thread in a bit, don't know if it's better to post here or there so I've posted a goodie in there, or will do as soon as my phone charges to 50% (regarding the latter part there, see S3 thread shortly too!).
