Best browser for the Vega

[Guest chong168]

What is the best browser to use on the Vega? Would I be better off sticking to the stock one?

Only speed : Steel is best but no pinch to zoom

Interface : dolphin hd is good. I like gesture setting.

I'm quite happy with Miren Browser at the moment...

I'm really liking dolphin hd - nice interface and easy to use.

Dolphin HD is pretty good, I'm giving Xscope a try and I'm quite liking it, very simple layout like the stock browser but it has tabs :( its pretty fast too.

I have tried quite a few and my personal opinion based on speed, ease off use and layout is that Xscope6 is the best.

Dolphin Browser HD is the best browser I've tried (and I've tried several). Tabbed browsing alone makes it a better choice than stock. It also lets you swipe to open and close your bookmarks, which is very convenient. If you use it for more than a few days, you'll realize what a powerful and complete browser it is, full of options and features.

Quite a fan of xScope now as well, especially the fact in can sync the bookmarks with the stock bookmarks (for use with the launcher pro bookmark widget) is a BIG plus. Pretty similar with miren in quite a few aspect imo (just can't get a link to open in a new tab in the background with xscope ;))

Dolphin keeps crashing on mine...

[Guest £note]

On the subject of Dolphin can some kind user offer some help with an issue I'm currently having. I prefer to use my Vega predominantly in landscape format and when using dolphin the bookmarks panel is permanently open and I can't find a way to close it. This takes up a quarter of the screen on the left and shifts the page I'm looking at a similar distance to the right which cuts off some of the page detail...very frustrating! I fully expect that this is down to a setting somewhere that I've missed but I've searched till I'm blue in the face and can't find how to close it. If I use it in portrait everything is fine so I'm convinced it's me and not the browser. Thanks for any help. :(

You can open bookmarks by swiping your finger horizontally from the left edge of the screen. To slide it back, just do the reverse.

Dolphin HD for me, Brilliant on the Vega

[Guest worto03]

another vote here for dolphin HD, I tried a few and settled on this one.

I like the bookmarks panel that you can slide open and shut & the gestures are great for websites you visit often. I just draw a big 'V' on the screen and it brings me here now :(

Oh and the tabs - although a little fiddly to select on dolphin are a must for any browser in my book these days.

Well that works fine in portrait but not in landscape. I guess this is something that's only affecting me, everyone else seems quite happy. Thanks for the reply.

dolphin HD +1 ... its a great browser

my only quirk with it is the way the tabs scroll with the page... is there any way to lock the tabs on the screen all the time?

[Guest £note]

Deleted my installation and downloaded again from the market, problem sorted :(

Dolphin now back as my favourite browser.

+1 for miren

Xscope is also pretty good, but miren pips it for me as it's free.

Both have a very desktop feeling and on miren (not sure if you can with xscope, only played with it for 10 mins) you can change the user agent so websites see it as a different browser. I run it as an iPad, and it optimizes most big websites (BBC and Facebook being the main ones), it disables facebook chat (a huge help) and gives you a desktop like interface on the BBC site. Only downside is it fools iPlayer into trying to feed it a quicktime stream instead of a flash stream.
