    I'm currently using xScope which has a LOT of additional features that the default browser doesn't. Which browser do you guys prefer & why?

    A review for those who aren't familiar with the most used browsers:

    Funny. I thought i was the only one. I did too install the dolphin browser and the flash addon. First it did not work (the flash addon) but the overall experience was really bad. Im satisfied with the stock browser. Of course comig from a bb that's to be expected

    Default browser here. Tried Skyfire and Dolphin, didn't really care for them. Of course that could be because I'm just accustomed to the stock browser.

    Default here too. I haven't tried any other ones and I don't see the need to. (for now)

    Stock hands down

    Stock doesn't have tabbed windows for browsing and is slower than most of the replacement browsers, especially xscope. To be honest, after using xscope for a while I can't really think of a good reason to use the stock browser...other than it being the default.

    That said, the default browser isn't bad at all. Very good for a stock browser.

    yeah, but i'm also a firefox hater... prefer my safari a million times over. in my experience it was extremely sluggish and i find getting use to anything new an unnecessary complication, skyfire was fast. my theory on such things is, if it ain't broke... same for the whole rooting thing. it sounds great and all, but i'm perfectly content with it just as is.

    Dolphin HD is great for web surfing but Skyfire rocks for flash enabled sites and video sites. Default browser does the job for just about everything though, in 2.1 and 2.2 that is, in 1.5 or 1.6 it blows and Opera Mini is a much better option.

    I use to use Dolphin on my D1 and it worked great. I have no speed issues or any issues with the native browser on the DX, so I haven't switched yet. Also, Dolphin does not support flash yet right?
