I don't usually use any of the ones on your list because the one I use seems to perform better for me.

Nah, Dolphin is old and quirky. I think the dev has stopped working on it.

I use the default (it's just called "Browser") mainly, but I also have Dolphin and xScope.

Honestly the best thing for you to do is try different ones and see what works best for you.

How do you get them. Do you have to be rooted?

You know about rooting but you don't know how to install apps from the market?

2 Dolphin
3 xScope
4 Skyfire
5 stock Browser
6 Steel
7 Opera Mini

I've heard that Fennec is huge (28mb or so with +5mb cache/data) and very slow (even at 1Ghz). See http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/75242-latest-fennec-alpha-now-available.html for more info.

yea im just gonna try it though. not sticking with anything

o and aminaked, i meant the HD one

My favorite is definitely xScope. It's quick and switching tabs is a breeze. I would like Dolphin HD better if they would implement a better way of switching tabs other than having to scroll to the top of the current page or pressing menu or swiping left and then dragging down. I love the swipe left and right to switch tabs on xScope.

 

[aminaked]

Haha, I know u meant dolphin hd. I was being a jerk.

***

Mjforte, I've gotten used to hitting menu to see the tabs. XScope's swipe to switch drove me crazy because it would happen too easily when scrolling the page. I had to disable it in settings.

I have all of the browsers I listed installed. Why not?

Setting user agent to desktop/computer is a must!

I've been trying Fennec on the Droid 1 and it takes a full minute for it to load the app and is really slow to load a page. This is still just an alpha tho ...
