I know and it takes up 29.51MB of space and is still shite

Good - really hope you like it

It's only 6.40MB too

I love it so much I've got the Pro license key which unlocks more features like unlimited speed dials and the ability to delete some of the pre existing ones.

Well they were. Dolphin is stuck at webkit whilst Chrome, like Opera has forked into the upgraded Blink.

With Chrome compression I really fail to see how Dolphin can be faster or lighter.”

If you used it on my tablet you'd see the difference in seconds.

Boat is effectively the same as Dolphin too, that also being webkit.
Firefox and IE are now the only unique browsers, with Opera abandoning Presto for Webkit and then Blink.

For speed, I love Maxthon on my PC but also have FF and Chrome installed.

Chrome for reasons I've already given and FF because, for me, it streams better than everything else - Netlfix and Virginmedia TV Anywhere for instance.

I haven't tried Maxthon on my tablets though because I'm completely happy with Boat.

I won't get chance to maybe play with "Awesome" Lego until later.

May work on tablet Firefox and maybe even others like Boat. But the function may well need turning on as per my above on Chrome browser for tablets.
