I've been using brave and I really like it. It's basically chrome with a built in ad blocker and for me it's very fast, smooth and battery friendly. Give it a shot and see what you think.
Kiwi or Brave, both are Chrome but with adblocking. Kiwi also have a night mode which is nice. Haven't used Brave for a while so don't know if it have it too.
Chrome with ad guard pro
Either Edge or Samsung. They both offer ads block.

Does any sync with google ? for my passwords and bookmarks?
Firefox
I have yet to find a browser that allows "tab queue." It's great when I'm looking to open multiple links at once it just queues them up in the notification drawer. That alone has kept me with Firefox. Can't say I use the desktop version of Firefox (I'm a Chrome guy) but on mobile I found Firefox the best for my usage.
+1 for Samsung browser. Has dark mode under accessibility. I use that all the time. Firefox has but it's a add-on. Not sure how safe that is.
I'm using Kiwi which is the closest to Chrome but without the ads. Used Bromite before that but it started to drop frames and lagged, thought I had to go back to Chrome ?
I'm loving Kiki with the address bar at the bottom.
Using Brave (Chromium fork with adblocker and trackers blocked) with DuckDuckGo as search engine. Since I respect privacy and it doesn't give bias results.
Using Brave looks good and plus adblock built in :good: was using chrome beta for long time
Kiwi ?
Kiwi. And they have a true black theme with black webpages. All webpages.

Try VIA browser. Lightest and quickest I've used
Exodia
No history logged, ad blocker, and you help forests
Brave is great. I use a blue chrome icon from Pixel icon pack as the stock icon is not as pleasing to the eye...haha
Here is my home screen for no reason..
Dolphin

Hey guys, I use Opera mobile web browser and I love how simple it is and how it looks. However, I noticed how several websites are cramped to only one side making it almost impossible to browse normally.
I have tried Dolphine browser but there is just too much in and and when I swipe side to side instead of the page, the side bars pop up. It gets really annoying.
I wanted to see what you guys general use for web browsing.

I use Dolphin Browser, though I know what you mean about the sidebar. I've found that if you scroll up/down first, then to the side, the sidebar doesn't show up as often.
I was using firefox but I switched back to the stock browser.the stock one runs much smoother.
Used Dolphin for the longest but just went back to stock. Like the simple clean interface and the side to side scrolling on dolphin just started to drive me nuts.
Stock. Tried Opera and Dolphin but went back to stock.

If you never use the side bars in Dolphin, you can disable the swiping side to side action in the settings. It helps make Dolphin more usable.
I'm using Dolphin HD, although I do find navigating around a page to be buggy sometimes.

Funny thing, I never truely used the stock web browser. And the dolphin sidebars are the biggest pain in the butt!

I also use dolphin and have disabled the side bars because they drive me nuts. I'm a fan of the tabs which I find a great feature that isn't on stock.
Yeah, I love the tabs but I prefer the way it is on opera mini, plus opera is really nice and simple.

i do. skyfire rocks, and can watch most flash content with it.
Skyfire. So far it's my favorite but I'll be interested in trying firefox once it's a bit further along.
I have tried out several with the notification bar hide feature because of the screen burn in issues. For me dolphin hd can be really slow. Anybody that's using it without issues change any of the settings to get it to run properly?
I just discovered Maxthon bowser, it seems great. Anyone using on N7? Jus seem like better experience that chrome, for me chrome always forgets here I'm at an have to scroll on lo when I hit back button. Maxthon seems to o his better, anyone else have experience with Maxthon?

Always a Opera Mobile fan!!
I'll try maxthon though just for experience..
I tried it the other day, don't remember why I didn't like it... but dropped it for Boat-mini (for flash only).. I use Chrome 95% of the time, it seems to render/pinch-zoom, better than others. Only one I found that pinch-zooms (or double tap) on most mobile pages flawlessly.
I'm always a bit weary when applications begin or become to offer all kinds of bundles and addons - I felt that way with maxthon.
Apart from stock browser, I've been somewhat partial to Boat Browser and still like Opera on occasion (as my desktop user agent go to on mobile). I used Dolphin HD for a while, but I really didn't need the extra features (sonar and gestures) and addons growing from them.
I'm not sure however if Boat browser had advertisements - I've always used AdAway from Google Play (requires root) and never noticed anything blatantly obvious.
Link to AdAway : (work friendly safe)

I hate how it ALWAYS refreshes. Every time I leave the app then come right back to it, it just refreshes everything. Ugh.

I haven't really noticed. The lag when it accessing the bookmarks is painful though...
Yup really annoys me. Especially when you go to type something in and it refreshes and doesn't include what you just typed.

Chrome sucks. Get xscope 7. It is what chrome should have been
Even when going back to a previous viewed page in chrome it refreshes. Very annoying and totally kills the browsing experience.

I use to love Xscope (Amazon free app). Decided to buy it since it is now JB which Amazon won't upgrade to. It's real nice UI... but still isn't as good as it is on my Galaxy Player (GB). On my Player ANY mobile site will pinch zoom. On the N7, no mobile site seems to pinch zoom. This means "text" and "zoom" levels have to be "perfect" and changed quite often (since all sites seem to have different text sizes). I may start using Desktop mode, but I really like many mobile sites. Chrome works great. I was hoping the updated Xscope would be its replacement. Good thing it was $3 of my free $25!
PS: I never noticed a refresh in Chrome.

the android(aosp) browser, not chrome, doesnt refresh. and plays flash just fine, btw.
I've noticed that when I open several links in other tabs, when I get to the tabs they are blank and load or refresh the page once I switch to the tab.
I am not having this problem, in fact I was just viewing three pages simultaneously (switching between them) while on Skype and no reloading :S and while typing this I switched over to chrome and all 3 tabs still loaded.. :/

Just disable the translating in settings. It have to solve the issue
lol, these threads are usually annoying, but I'm desperate!
Tried Ocean browser but it's fugly with that grey color scheme (couldn't find a way to change it). It matters to me since I'll be browsing the net a lot.
Dolphin is the one I'm settled with at the moment and so far it's nice.
Will give Opera Beta a try.
Any others people use?

Definitely the best browser. Its android browser. Yes you need root. Once you do its very simple to install. Its the smoothest and does flash full screen videos without issues.
If you don't want to root, naked browser is also very good.
so far I'm loving firefox, it has adblock and it's smoother in flash videos. =D
+1 for Boat Browser, very fast and stable, supports flash and is very lightweight with about 3mb in size.

Works fast (after the V8 Javascript update), and I haven't had it crash yet that I can recall (I do wonder what people are doing to have it crash "repeatedly" though since I haven't had any issues).
AOSP Browser comes in second for me. Anything else isn't an option for me unless it syncs with Google.

Have you tried Boat yet? I'm curious what you thought of it.
I'm using Boat as my browser at the moment actually.
It's great so far.

Chrome for almost everything. I use the "other devices" feature several times a day. It's great being able to instantly pull up any tab open on the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other phone.
Firefox Beta or Dolphin Beta for stuff that requires flash. Don't really use AOSP browser anymore.

How do you get Dolphin Beta to actually play Flash? for me whenever I try and enable it, Dolphin tells me it's naughty and refuses to let me force-enable it!
edit: I have installed the Flash APK already, it's just Dolphin Beta fighting against me...

I mainly use chrome because of the synced browsing and the links that I have on my desktop computer.

Dolphin. And it was just updated so jetpack works, which means so does word wrap.
Chrome does what I need. I haven't tried any other browsers in a long time, but they all drove me nuts with some quirk or another.
Please list if your browser does "word wrap"
