Best Android Browser

**tech4fun** · 03-22-2011, 01:47 PM

I used to like Dolphin HD but it has Ads now !!!!
I pay for the App and they add ads, they claim that what they Spam me with is not an Ad but a quality application.

The Browser I am looking for supports Flash, pinch and zoom, and contains no ads......... I would pay for a quality application but I hate ads.

May go back to the stock browser

Opera Mobile 11 (it now supports Flash and Pinch-to-zoom), xScope6.0 (extremely fast) and Dolphin Mini, i dont think it has ads.

But is Dolphin Mini a full browser.

Opera Mobile 11 has no ads maybe look at it.

There's a program called "AdFree" in the market. It blocks connections to most advertising servers. I haven't seen an ad yet in the free version of Dolphin.

The built in browser is actually pretty good, as well as Opera. There's also Firefox, but it doesn't do the text reflow very well yet.

Although it can get buggy at times, I prefer Firefox for Android. For one, it syncs my desktop bookmarks with Firefox Sync. Plus it supports some add-ons like AdBlockPlus.

I've been using the ****** browser that came on my Optimus and I can't stand it. Guess I'll check out the few you guys posted and see what works better... which I'm pretty sure is any other browser.

The Adblock Plus extension is available for Firefox Mobile, but Firefox Mobile itself is rather sluggish. Plus it doesn't support Flash.

droid x overclock has ad blocking in the extra settings.

I use Dolphin HD (the free one) and have never seen any ads.. I do have the AdBlock Plus plugin though.. Maybe you just need to get that? I love Dolphin personally

Dolphin mini is fine for me with Adfree.

Opera is my primary browser i never looked back........

i'm currently using Dolphin Browser v8.7 from Google Play and they do not have ads in their app. I use it as my default browser.
BTW, their Dolphin Browser Beta with Dolphin Engine also works great on my device.

Am i the only one that uses chrome?

**GeminiIII** · 08-18-2012, 02:48 PM

i would say the best one was xscope. it's fast and has lots of features such as ad blocking etc. havign said that, i sue one called overscreen because it allows me to open a browser in a resizable window that floats on top of other apps so that i can open web links conveniently in the background whilst (say) browsing through twitter

i've gone through stock, dolphin, firefox, chrome, and opera mini to get to form the decision that i have.
