Cheers, not tried them... I'll check those out - If the twonky one is half as decent as the server then that might be a goer.
Many thanks

I'm using the Chrome beta. Why are people looking elsewhere? Is there a feature I am missing?
Man of Honour
Addons!
And desktop sync for those of use who use Water/Firefox.

Heavens, Firefox still has a big userbase!
Desktop firefox is great, but mobile firefox is **** 
Firstly the lack of quick ics controls for the side etc. Is annoying.
Ui is awful, have the stupid big bar at the top or you can only have the full screen view and in order to get back to the search bar etc. You have to hit menu button or hold down on the screen and exit full screen then.
Rendering text is awful, some parts are huge and other parts tiny.
Doesn't seem any quicker at loading/rendering Web pages than boat, quick ics and ics + browsers.
No ad block add on, hardly any add ons in fact, can't see there being many more either.
Hardly any settings, features in the settings menu.
Amongst a lot of other things.
Needless to say, sticking with quick ics browser, far superior.

, sticking with quick ics browser, far superior.It is but........with the desktop firefox, it takes forever for things to get better/improve i.e. tab animations, the amount of times it has been in UX/nightly builds and then taken out again is unbelievable, been like that for years and it was only from version 4 that it got better IMO. Hated it before that, chrome was far superior, but now firefox has taken over chrome again for me.
Opera is awful I find as well, rendering problems everywhere and the colours just look off and then the UI is terrible compared to sense & ICS browser IMO.
Didn't like chrome beta either at all.
ICS quick controls is the best thing to ever happen to browsing! Take that back now! They have made a massive difference for me personally, can't use any other browser now due to that.
xscope last time I tried it was superb! Was the fastest browser for me easily, no idea how it compares to ICS based browsers though, will have to give it a go, although it wasn't the most stable browser :/ And since it has no ICS quick controls I can't see it being my default browser

7 is still a bit unusable but the options (and page swipe through your history gesture) are superb!

Is that the new firefox?
Nope, xscope 
firefox is much much uglier than that
Been trying it out and it is great, however, there is no text reflow and I miss the quick ics controls
The slide to go back etc. Is great as well as the ad blocking and other wee features.
For Speed and smoothness, quick ics browser is just a bit better overall.
2nd best browser for me, if they get text reflow and can implement the quick controls or having the top bar auto hide etc. Like on the sense browser then it will become my default browser

Yeah just noticed that - I was using xscope as the first browser I got on android nearly two years ago and I loved it!! but now (even though I paid for it...) I can't update to xscope 7 because it's ICS only... so annoying!
I've just downloaded the maxthon mobile browser, thought i'd give it a try as I used to use maxthon (or myie2 as it was back in the day) on my pc before I found chrome

What's this 'text reflow' I keep hearing about? I assume it's something Chrome is doing that I've just not noticed? I have a feeling it's similar to how Safari on iOS manages wide chunks of text, but I'm not sure.
Soldato
When you zoom in or out on a section of text, the text moves around and changes font size if necessary so that you can read everything without having to drag the screen around.
