Chrome gets my vote BUT... if you're not on ICS, gotta be Dolphin for me, then Opera if the other browsers give you rendering problems.

I agree, Chrome is so good that it's my default already. My favourite feature is that it remembers my open tabs even through reboots of the phone. I've been waiting for this since my G1. The stock browser on ICS does this to an extent but every so often will forget them all.

It'll be interesting to see how well Chrome does being limited to ICS only.

xScope should definitely be on that list. It's by far my favourite...

What do you want to develop today?

:( I suppose Stock browser then gets my vote; none of the others handle intents properly!

Chrome for PC basically runs on your RAM and hence not very compatible with games like Minecraft etc. So chrome mobile isnt such an attractive option. Also since i dont have ICS dolphin for me.

I use Dolphin on Gingerbread but would happily switch to Chrome when I can get it on my phone.
On a side not I teach snowboarding for a living and had the Montreal Google Chrome team for what they called a Friday outing...They said "Chrome is a browser and an OS. The Stock Android Browser is/will be Chrome. And the CR48-Samsung-Acer netbook things will develop into a fully featured OS."
I must say that when I figured out who I was teaching I was giddy...Good things are coming...
They all filmed themselves with Galaxy Nexus

You should try Sleipnir browser also... it is quite nice yet unpopular.

Stock for me. I find Dolphin to be far to clumpy. Skyfire is a fairly decent app, but you didn't include it :)

Since I have installed Chrome I do not use other browsers even the stock one. Chrome is the best one.

Dolphin. Will most probably switch to Chrome one it supports addons. Lastpass is a must.

Chrome for me since I got the Nexus! Always gone back to the stock browser on previous Android builds after trying Opera, Skyfire etc, but they always had too large a memory footprint for the device I'd installed them on.

Galaxy Nexus, big shiny sword...
