Looking at sites id say opera mini or dolphin, but I'm not sure. What would you recommend?
On my current default browser I get a split black screen when typing landscape

Thanks

The standard Chrome browser is good enough i believe, but there are popular ones such as Dolphin browser for Android which people like.

I use Dolphin HD. A very good browser. Are others better? I dont know. I tried Dolphin, I liked it so didnt bother having a look at other browsers.

Dolphin is good, although I do have to select text size to 'huge' to be able to read things on here without squinting. 'large' text size is also ok.

Opera mini was awful on my hd desire, font was unreadable event at the biggest setting and I don't want to have to keep zooming in, so now un-installed that.

Horses for courses
I use skyfire mainly, as it copes well with videos.
Stock is good for displaying extra pop up windows where you have to sign up to use the shop/library/third party server.
Opera mini is good for 'G' reception, as it much quicker, but does not handle all webpages correctly.

Only one that is any good is dolphin hd. Tried skyline and opera and I can't see the text on this forum without using my phone landscape. Even selecting the biggest text size in settings doesn't work.
