i'm using Boat browser. I think its the best app available and pretty amazing to be honest.
I like that you can put put a toolbar at the bottom, fully customisable, so I put a search icon on it, so its useful for searches as there is now no longer a search button on android phones.
Also it has gestures like dolphin, but you don't have to go into a setting to enter the gesture, you can just do it whilst your on a normal webpage. I've set it up so when I do an s shape, it does a search. Also "e" shape loads the hotmail page. So so good.
And also very fast and bug free.

I'll give mercury a go but I think safari is pretty good.
Now i am using Dolphin Mini. it's very light and way more stable than any other browser out there, including Dolphin HD itself (which btw sucks)
Thats because your Power Saving is on. If you have Power Saving off it stays the same brightness as your homescreen.

Pahaha I've had the phone since september & that never dawned on me. What a fud
On my SIII I use Chrome and occasionally the stock browser
On my Nexus 7 I mostly use Chrome, but switch to Firefox if I need Flash.
To me, Opera is the most compelling mobile browser at the moment. I find it cleaner and easier to use, and more user friendly. If only it had an Adblocker, but on balance I'll take that over the other browsers' problems.
However i have discovered Hubi and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.megadevs.hubi&hl=en combined with MX player.. very suefull indeed.
Am running an android phone 2.3..
Does anybody know how to view the ds forums in mobile.mode on opera? for me it always loads as the full web page.
I use Opera on my phone,but it doesn't support flash so have to resort to stock browser for flash sites.
Personally, I wouldn't consider any other browser.

Me too. Used to use Opera but Chrome runs well on my Nexus 4 so no need for Opera.
