    Cool What is your favorite <alt> BROWSER and why?

    FireFox
    Skyfire
    Boat
    Dolphin
    Opera
    Chrome
    xScope
    Maxthon
    Puffin
    Other?


    On my tablet I have been using the Boat browser a lot latly but am not 100% commited. I like Opera but it is one of those programs that almost has too many options. Skyfire was good but it seems to eat the battery life more than the others. What browser do you like and why?

    I really like Chrome, it just has a very smooth feel to it, and syncs up well with my desktops. However the newest release of Firefox is supposed to be pretty slick as well... maybe I'll change my mind after using that.

    Dolphin is awesome as well - on par with Chrome and probably better in some areas - but I voted for Chrome b/c I use it more.

    ICS Browser+ is a nice 3rd party app.

    Chrome. I'll give firefox a try though, and however I've never got on with the fox previously so don't hold much hope.

    I wasn't impressed with the new Firefox. Looking forward to checking out Chrome as that's the preferred browser on my pc. I also like Maxthon and Opera.

    I switched to Firefox (fennec) right after couple of days using SGS3. I used to use it in Nokia N900 and I like some of the extensions for it. Currently for example readability-extension and addblock-extensions are ones I depend on. Haven't tried opera, chrome and others yet. I kind of dislike an idea to Google or Opera know my every move.

    Firefox just upgraded. Haven't had much time with it yet, but seems at least as good as the previous one.

    I see the new Chrome browser just dropped today. May have to give that a go.

    I tried a few more. So far I have been most impressed with Maxthon.
