What browser do you use and why?

I prefer Xscope's clean design, but haven't gotten the paid version so I don't like not being able to quickly access my downloaded files. Only thing keeping me from buying it is the legitimate free browsers available.

But I love the speed and the chrome look of Xscope.

Going to try Miren and see what's that all about. :)

I realized what I don't like about xscope is the bookmarks aren't organized, they're just there.
I like having them in separate folders. Dolphin HD and Miren can do that.
Am I missing a setting on xscope?

I have been using the Miren browser for a couple of weeks now and so far so good. I really haven't noticed a huge diff in speed but like the tab browsing.
 
I use DolphinHD. The stock browser is alright. Just a bit slow and not tabbed. You would have to manually exit out of each tab every time, whereas in DolphinHD, you can see the tab above the webpage and just hit the exit. The bookmarks are very clean. I have tried Opera-mini and didn't like it too much.

There is one other browser, that I have been waiting for a long time on, called Firefox. This browser seems to be still in the Beta stages after months and months and I don't even know what is taking them so long to get a perfect one out. At first it was a HUGE download (49mb), very bulky, very slow, crashed a lot, etc. But now they've reduced it to 13mb but still see a lot of complaints about it. Those Firefox team better get their acts together and get it out already because they are WAY behind competition. Everything they keep adding to it has already been done by another browser team. They blew away competition on the PC/Laptop, but cannot seem to do the same for the Android-based phones. Which is odd in my opinion.
 
I use stock. I've tried Firefox and it has definitely improved though it's still in beta, but it doesn't have a plugin for flash for it yet that I've seen. Once they get that in I'll probably use it.

Closest thing to Chrome is the Miren Browser. It's my all time favorite and I too used Dolphin, Skyfire, and Opera, but Miren is hands down IMO.

I went down the same path and ended up keeping Miren and got rid of everything else. Miren flash works flawlessly and it's light year faster than the closest competitor, Dolphin. Miren loads youtube and other videos much faster than Dolphin. Miren's select text option for cut/copy/paste operation simply works, putting stock browser to shame. I like how it gives you grip handles, one on each end as you're selecting/highlighting web content. Forum's file attach function does not work on Dolphin (neither does some of its screen popup function), which is one of the reasons I was looking for its replacement, and found Miren.
 
and DolphinHD, and opera mobile/mini, but i stopped using skyfire because it was incredibly slow, dolphinHD because their icon looks stupid in my opinion,tried xscope last week and didn't really care for it, probably because I'm use to Dolphin.too used Dolphin, Skyfire, and Opera, but Miren is hands down IMO.
 
right now i'm testing out miren and dolphin hd. i've used miren a bit more and i like how simple it is. i used firefox before but there was a lot it was missing. like flash player....
