If you are lucky enough to have a device with Android 4.04 (ICS) then there is only one logical choice in my opinion and that is Chrome beta. But for the rest of us who are running an older OS like 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3 (Gingerbread) then the choices are many and varied!. Just go to the Google Play Store and type in "browsers for android" and you will find a multitude of choices!
Now through painful trial and error, I have a limited number of these which I will recommend and for brevity I am only going to mention my top three in this blog post.
First is my favorite, Opera Mobile, which offers these features. nn
A new interface looks better on your device and gives Opera Mobile a sleek, modern browser appearance.
Pinch-to-zoom and smooth panning let you surf in a natural, intuitive way.
Synchronize bookmarks, Speed Dial and more with your computer or other mobile devices via Opera Link.
Twitter and Facebook support is built in, so you can easily share Web content with others.
Games and free apps can be downloaded from the Opera Mobile Store in Opera Mobile's Speed Dial. Next up is my second choice xScope Browser, which offers the following features.
Instant Back/forward navigation, True tabs, Numerous settings/options, Import google bookmarks, Import desktop bookmarks (via HTML file), Screenshot, Seamlessly integrated file explorer, Browse, email, and zip your files, Text copy/selection, 3 ways to zoom (multitouch, pin-zoom, and tapping), Theme support, Download most videos (mp4), audios (mp3), and documents (pdf, doc...), Support flash content (froyo and above).
Last but not least (according to some of my friends) is Dolphin Browser HD which boast the following features.
Sonar – Dolphin listens and lets you use your voice to search on the Internet, share on your favorite social networks, bookmark your favorite website, navigate and more.
Gesture - Let your inner artist out and create a personal Gesture (symbol) to access the mobile and desktop websites you use the most.
Add-on – Beef up your mobile Web/Internet browsing experience by installing the Add-ons for the tasks you need at your fingertips. With more than 60 and counting, Dolphin Add-ons enables any action to be done right within the browser. You can check out the Add-on features with 3 preloaded on your right Sidebar.
Webzine - Fast Web page loading, with no ads. Dolphin Webzine simplifies the way you read your favorite mobile content, from news to blogs and websites. Webzine is now available as an Add-on on the Android Market.
Speed Dial - Visit you favorite mobile and desktop websites on the go with one touch.
Tabbed browsing - No need to toggle between screens, tabbed browsing lets you open and switch between Web pages fast as lightning.
Sidebars - Make the best of mobile interface via Dolphin Sidebar.
If none of these browsers suit you, don't be afraid to try others. These are MY opinions and are recommendations only.
