I switched to Dolphin from the default Android browser. One negative is that every time you update the App, you lose all your bookmarks on the all-in-one start page. Also, the screen actions are pretty useless, as you have to pull up a screen to perform the action on. One too many button presses for me.
actually you just have to touch the little hand pic on the bottom right (or left if u changed it)…so easy to open up bookmarks with a letter b like i set mine up…literally takes me 2 seconds
Slaughters Steet any day of the week.
Very nice, definitely a different approach to the browser.
This is the browser I’ve been using for some time, it beats the default browser by a long shot.
They misspelled android in the video!
Really cool!
Love this browser. It is great. Definitely recommend.
Is this only on 1.6? I can’t seem to find it in the market with my cliq dang nabbit
Tried it out, not bad. Mildly slower than normal browser, and multitouch doesn’t work on my galaxy’s galaxhero rom, but some v nice features in this (although it does seem to hide the tabs and extend the page fullscreen, just not zoom). I wont officially switch till i have pinch zoom working though so ill just hang on a while longer!
I’ll wait for Opera Mobile 10

i cannot wait. dolphin is going to be short lived as are most other browsers that are offered on the andr market. opera is definitely thinking in the long term here. however i think if anyone can compete with opera 10 it will be google. However, this is yet to be seen in the less than impressive default browser.
Dolphin needs some serious updates to compete and stick around for the long haul.
I’m a HUGE fan of this browser. It’s very snappy, and adds a lot of great features in comparison to the bare-bones default browser.
I’m steadily amazed at the power of the community surrounding Android. In my honest opinion, Cyanogen and MGeek have developed strikingly better software than Google.
It has potential but not ready for primetime yet…
I love this browser, it’s a definite keeper. I also made it my default browser.
Where the hell is opera mobile for android! bring it already…
Great browser could use a feature to where it would not automaticly reload the page.
Problems with delicious.com, not working on my phone and others.
Opera I have yet to see an opera blowser worth using and waisting your time with,
Dolphin is the best for Android.
