Best android browser?

Dolphin has got to be the slowest browser on the market. Xscope or stock are way faster.

the older xScope 5.35 is, as the kids say, hella quick.... not available in the market though, gotta hunt around for the apk
 
+1 for xscope. I hate dolphin

Looking forward to Firefox (Fennec) for android.
So far, it's nice.. but it's still beta, and probably not completely ready for public consumption...
If you have Firefox Sync (native on FF4, or an addon on FF3.x), you can see all the tabs you have open on any FFBrowser, and open them on the phone. I actually like this better than chrome2phone...

My only complaint so far is that it does seem a little heavy, but not moreso than DolphinHD, which I didn't like.
 
I went outside the market for Firefox, so far so good - I never tried Dolphin or the others besides stock - just saw the bulletin on my firefox homepage and went for it.
 
Xscope 6 or 5...5 is now free from devs site. I hated Dolphin HD from the get go, I now use it daily with no add-ons after trying the latest paid release, Dolphin Mini is good, Opera Mobile has the fastest scrolling/pinch zoom but overall the stock browser is the only browser that will upload files to forums and such. If I could only have two...stock and xscope 6 or 5...5 is free and has a better UI.

I just switched from Dolphin HD to Miren Browser, and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I love the home screen with the tiled bookmarks. Takes a little playing around to figure out how to set it up, but once you do, it's great! I also think it loads faster and responds faster than Dolphin.

Miren (miui) browser is the slowest of the bunch for me.

I like Miren Browser. Its fast and does what I need it to do. Kinda has a chrome feel to it.

I like xscope 6 alot and use it exclusivley, but the newest update im seeing alot of major slowdowns and freezing even on a fresh sbf and rubix 1.9.0 install.

Also many formatting problems when agent set to computer becuase i hate mobile sites.

but there still isnt anything else as good, Dolphin is too bloated, stock is slow to deal with.. wishing we had a REAL google chrome..
 
I love dolphin gd. I tried mini but it lacks too many features... or maybe I just can't find em lol

After a year, I got feed up with the stock browser finally.
Tried Opera Mini, it had issues with zoom on my DroidX. Was real jerky/jumpy.
So then I tried Dolphin (not HD).
Used it for a couple months, went through an upgrade, and it started craping out (jumpy, things like that).
So I went to Dolphin HD and have been using it for about a month.
I like the tabs and Gestures.
Haven't tried any others.
