For the s3? I usually just stuck with the stock browser for my previous android phones, but I can't stand the galaxy s3 browser. A lot of pages take forever to load even though my connection is fast and some images overall for me are kinda glitchy when they load.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Greycloak42:
I use Chrome personally. The only drawback is that there is no support for Flash. Other than that it's a great browser.

I'll try chrome and see how it is. Thanks for the inputs!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vinuneuro:
Dolphin is by far the fastest, but it's not usable. Double tap to zoom, zooms in from the left regardless of where on the page you target. Text reflow isn't great either. When you do zoom in on text it also sometimes cuts off a letter or two at the right edge. If they fixed these zoom issues it'd be very good. Has some other very good features as well.

Since Chrome is the next fastest I use that mainly, but certain flash sites like justin.tv require a browser that supports flash (any other one).

that sums it up pretty well.

I've tried them all over the years. There is nothing like Chrome, especially if you use it as your main browser on all your other devices/computers. The tab syncing is ridiculously convenient, and you can have all your bookmarks in one place. It's also a fantastic tabbed browser.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zaisaroni:
The fact that Chrome doesn't support flash almost means it is doing you a favor!

The synching and info sharing between them is pretty awesome. I do like the a wiping between tabs as well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rosalesj:
Chrome or Dolphin HD, I find them both very quick.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BrandonEnr7:
I have used Chrome and love it. Don't have any issues or anything ever. I love how it syncs with all my other Chrome sessions on different devices.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Roco91:
+1 for Chrome.

Definitely the best IMO. As far as fluidity and functionality I like it the best. Honestly not having flash is a plus for me because it doesn't get bogged down trying to load up all the flash ads.

Nah, just playing. Been using dolphin because I've never found a reason not to. Checked out chrome in the play store but didn't download it after reading through some of the reviews. Maybe I'll have to check it out again though, seems like some of you are pretty big fans.

I'm really liking chrome on my s3 and n7.

ICS Browser +. Thumb controls, Syncing, Flash, Text Reflow, and fast. Way better than Chrome or Dolphin.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sageDieu:
I say use whatever browser you use on your computer. If you use Chrome, use chrome. If you use Firefox, use Firefox. if you use Opera, use Opera. If you use Internet Explorer, kill yourself or get another browser.

Basically, Chrome, Firefox and Opera mobile are all fantastic browsers for the phone, each has their upsides and downsides but they all can sync bookmarks, tabs, searches, etc with their desktop counterparts. So use whatever you use on your computer-I like both chrome and firefox on my phone but mostly use chrome because it has a great UI and runs really well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nubbert:
+1 ! :good: Sync is awesome if Chrome is also your Desktop browser especially if you're like me and have loads of tabs open at all times. Tab management (switching/closing etc) on Chrome is the best I've seen - again, really great if you use lots of tabs.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mkymkyxp:
Ive been using chrome for about a month or so and love it. Have tried others such as opera, dolphin, and firefox. Dolphin is the only other one i liked.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ubigred:
Boat Browser mini... Fast and a ton of features.

Chrome lacks features and a history tab. Plus you can't share pics of a Web page.

Dolphin hd

Chrome is my second although it still need work. I don't like how its two steps to get to bookmarks unlike dolphin which is a quick slide of the finger. Also chrome tends to have text sizing inconsistencies on some sites where part of it is sized normal and some url 's at the top are tiny. The zoom feature for small text is hit or miss usually miss and desktop bookmarks reload every time you go there instead of caching them and calling for an update. No home button or page either is annoying to me.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dgn_sandibalz:
I use several. Seems different sites work just a little different with certain browsers. Dolphin is great for sites with flash. Chrome seems to be the best at desktop user agent. Firefox and Xscope are pretty quick. I find that I use the stock browser if there's a flash video i want to download.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bigmike34:
I'm a fan of the stock browser. Chrome is great for the syncing but the lack of history is a major oversight. Dolphin has good voice search but if you're on JB then the stock has that covered as well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Haunt3r:
I use stock browser for browsing, dolphin HD for "special needs" if you get what I mean, since it allows for desktop view.:p
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Iphony89:
Quick tip for people using Chrome...if there comes a time that you need flash, you can install an app called Flashify, it basically allows you to share the URL with any other browser you have installed, it's really simple and only takes a second.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Will of fire:
Stock is good chrome is really good too but flash won't work on it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] woodydog:

Opera
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Luker161:
Chrome!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cajun456:
Opera!

I have tried a lot of them and keep going back to Opera. I use it on my SGIII, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and my Transformer.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] turbosrrgood:
I am actually pretty shocked more people aren't mentioning Dolphin. It's far faster than stock, even Chrome IMO. Only Opera may be faster (only on some websites and marginally so, slower on others) however Opera's UI is awful and featureless.

The real edge is the UI. The UI blows every other browser out of the water. It has a format very similar to chrome on the PC (more so than Chrome for mobile interestingly enough), works seamlessly, and is still faster than the rest. I have tried them all, and Dolphin is the best by far IMO. It has the whole package.

It also allows add-ons, which allow you to do things like sync your bookmarks with desktop chrome browsers.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] incubus26jc:
I'm a big chrome user on my desktop as well as at work. Having a mobile version has great benefits including bookmark syncing etc...

But, until it gets flash There is nothing better than stock android browser.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sleestax:
Dolphin HD. It's designed specifically for smartphones, and doesn't try to be all things to all people. It allows you to browse as a desktop so you aren't redirected to borked mobile sites. Chrome allows you to 'ask' for a regular website too, but it's not a global setting, so you have to do it for every damned site.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rschauby:
Dolphin HD is by far the best.

I hate the way the bookmarks tab looks on Chrome, and the fact that it has to pull them from the Web. Dolphin bookmarks and start page are win.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] XTwarrior:
I'm a big fan of the Maxthin browser since I started using it with a rooted Transformer TF101. It was a lot more stable than the stock, loaded pages much quicker and had a lot less quirks. The stock on the TF101 would lag and take along time to load pages like some have said. Switched over to Maxthon and won't look back.

I just downloaded the Maxthon browser on my S3 and fiddled a little. It loads pages a lot quicker than the stock browser, but I have to say the interface for inputting an address needs some refinement. It's just a blank white space and could be confusing to some. Otherwise performance is great, fast load times on 4G.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dodikono:
Opera still the best for me

Best regard,.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jas27:
Dolphin HD
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sleestax:
Definitely agree that Dolphin bookmarking is better, but it has it's own quirks. I can't seem to find a way to sort my bookmarks the way I want them. It just sorts them based on the most recent bookmark to the oldest.

Still, I absolutely agree that Dolphin HD is the best browser for Android. There is no comparison.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vinuneuro:
Dolphin's speed and UI are by far the best. But it does a piss poor job with zooming and reflow of text. The double-tap zoom issue is pretty flagrant.

No kidding, I can't believe people like this POS when it can't even zoom & text wrap correctly.

I don't even have it installed anymore because of these kind of glaring problems.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rondietz1:
Boat

:laugh:If you haven't heard of it, your in the majority, but I think by far Boat is the best browser, hands down. I had never heard the name before, but saw it mentioned in a forum about 3 - 4 months ago, and have used it ever since. Every once in a while when one of the big names comes out with an update I will give it a try, but always wind up coming back to Boat. I guess trying an unknown name once in a while can really pay off.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] SlimSnoopOS:
I honestly haven't seen pinch to zoom in any of my browsers work on the GSIII. Does Chrome or stock browser text reflow work for you guys? Feel like I missed a setting someplace.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rondietz1:
I can't speak for the other browsers, but I know it works just fine in Boat.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ubigred:

Chrome!

I'm not sure if anyone else seems to have this problem, but both the stock browser and Dolphin HD (what I would like to use) have all had multiple occurances of loading half a page, freezing, then closing down. That happening at any frequency is a huge deal breaker for me. I've switched to Chrome since then and have not had any problems since (I also tried Firefox and that worked too...but I like Chrome better).

But if anyone has any suggestions as to what could be causing my random closing of browsers, I'd really appreciate any feedback. If you know how I can resolve this issue...I'd appreciate that even more :)
