Probably Firefox. It would have been the stock JB browser from the Galaxy Nexus if they bothered to include it.

If you want flash support' I would suggest Puffin..Its a great browser to live stream videos on flash based players..Plus its very smooth..Should definitely try it out..

stock browser

Do you know any download link for the apk?

For me, I'd say it's Chrome. Love the sharing of pages between my PC, RAZR, and N7. And I haven't experienced any problems in it.
Sure, there's no flash, but that's no big deal for me.

Firefox is working nicely here.

Smooth?

Are you stock? Any custom rom has the stock browser you might be able to just move to system/app and set permissions <-- needs root however

I didn't do anything but in dolphin I don't have any problems. But with Chrome, even though I have Flash player installed, most of the times it doesn't work.

Chrome browser doesnt support flash. Stock does as does firefox. You still need the apk for flash installed.

Stock browser handle flash better than any other browser av tried.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Stock browser is the best browser fullstop.
Full screen
Quick controls
Bookmark sync
Tabs
Mobile/desktop view
Reflow
Flash
Speedy
Plus lots more
I know other browsers have a lot of these features, but why use a different one? I've tried them all, genuinely, and the stock browser is superior.
One thing I miss is computer to mobilr sync.
I have never searched for it though.

What's your favorite lightweight browser to use on the KF?

I have always ran Chrome as my default browser on my OG Kindle Fire. However, I feel it is slowing the device down more and more, especially when multitasking.
I just installed Dolphin Mini but have only used it once or twice. What do you guys recommend for a lightweight browser on the KF??

First, rule I learned from Chrome: Chrome=RAM Hogger
Use Stock Browser, UC Browser, Dolphin Jetpack(Heavy, but Super Fast), and Opera &Mini.

Definitely not Chrome.
Stock browser or Dolphin Jetpack. Firefox too.

Chrome =! Light weight
AOSP Browser = Lightweight
Chrome is the buggiest app I've ever user. It was slow on my sensation, it's slow on my Nexus 4, my brother's N7, and definitely on my KF7.

Chrome is just bad. Its slow, eats RAM, crashes too much, and redraws too much when multitasking. I use the stock AOSP browser now.

Stock AOSP browser and Lightning+ browser.

Never ever ever use chrome on anything besides a PC or chrome book.

The new Dolphin has replaced Chrome as my favorite browser. Regular Dolphin, not mini. Give it a try.
I use Dolphin as my regular browser and it works great. Tried Lighting too, but I think Dolphin performs better.

After trying basically every Android browser, I found out Opera Classic has the best performance+features on the kindle fire. You should give it a try

What browser

What browser are you guys using? Stock, Chrome, Dolphin and Opera are just a few available.
I have always been a fan of Opera, but it's been buggy lately.
Jusy started playing with Chrome and like it a lot.
Just stock one

Ya, that's kind of annoying.
I'm using Next Browser, very fast and useful
I'm using the stock Google browser... until now it's the best one I've tried. Great handling flash with imbued subtitles for online streaming and everything works fine. My second choice would be Firefox.

Dolphin with Dolphin Jet Pack installed.
