fed up of dolphin browser..alternatives

[413x]

dolphin has its uses but when it fails it really fails!

a fair few non mobile sites it just crashes all the time on, if anything it is worse recently, however it is very good at rendering forum text
tab handling is also good

other one i am trying is Firefox mob
handles pretty much everything but feels a litle slow
what i really like is the sync across mobile, PC, laptop etc, very useful!
what i really dont like is forum text rendering, if it isnt on small, it varies in size. a strange bug

dolphin seems very good at mobile sites
firefox seems ok for everything and has handy sync feature

anything have a combination of these?

Have a look at Boat browser.

Have a look at Boat Browser

I've tried quite a few if not most of them and always come back to Boat on my phone.

Boat.

The End.

I've been quite liking Next Browser. First time I've stuck with the same browser for a while.

Think i might give boat a try. Starting to get annoyed at Dolphin too.

Dolphin is superb when it works, but after a few days it starts to struggle/slow to a crawl. I've found clearing the cache/history/HTML5 data fixes it everytime on my N7 v2.

Just revisiting this

I am going to keep Firefox as it syncs with desktop Firefox.. Can be very useful

But for my main bbrowser I will be using boat.
It's spectacularly fast
Seems to handle everything from embedded videos to Ocuk shop.. Which always crashes on dolphin
Scales forums well

Very fast and very stable!
Bye bye dolphin hello Boat.. I'm coming out of the ocean and riding the wave

next browser for me

Boat is by far and away the best browser I've found on android, I just wish someone would follow Blackberry/WP and have the navigation bar at the bottom... it's much better.

Firefox would be excellent if it wasn't so slow.

chrome?

For those using Boat browser, has anyone paid for the pro version and used the Firefox sync feature? If so, is it as good as the normal Firefox browser sync?

I like Next browser but it seems it only syncs with Chrome .

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Chrome.

 

[413x]

Not a fan of Chrome. Didn't seem to offer much for me.
I would also be very interested in if boats paid Firefox sync is actually good! I wouldthink it wwouldn't be Tbh

 

[Freefaller]

I like chrome for the fact it syncs with all my devices including my lolpad.

The gestures on boat are better than dolphin. You don't have to first tell boat that you wish to perform a gesture before gesturing.

 

[grudas]

what I hate about boat is the "ads on exit" fu..

 

[Lartyconshayo]

OCUK shop crashes in boat for me.

Does any android browser survive it ?

Never managed to find a decent, stable browser on Android unfortunately. The AOSP browser was the best for me overall though, hopefully that's improved but with Google's focus now being on Chrome, I'm not sure.
