Try Boat Browser. Very similar to Miren. Miren was my choice too. I like Boat just as much.
I have miren and could post it if you need it. Pm me I still use it every day
If you could please post it. I just flashed cm7 today and went to d/l just to find it missing.
Ugh. Guess I'll try boat out in the meantime.

Miren browser fc's on me whenever i try to download anything using that browser.. i stop using it and went with dolphin mini..
Rumor has it that Dolphin is recording your inernet travels and phoning it home. At least I read a thread on here one day about it. Enough reason for me to leave it alone.

+1 for opera mobile, looks like hell but handles most websites 100%. ROFLMAO when my cousin was like why do I have an oprah browser ha

The cool thing about Miren is that you could get your bookmarks from an HTML file. I have yet to figure out how to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin, Opera, or the standard browser (I got them in the standard browser but not in folders, lame). I have ChromeMarks so know about that.
Its still in the market. My Touchpad couldn't see it either running CM7 for some reason. Try googling it in the browser and then click on the link to the market and select "open with Market" and it should show up and allow you to download. Worked for me on the Touchpad.
Another +1 for Opera Mobile.

Damn, another great app taken off the market.
Guess Maxthon Browser is next in line for default on my phone.
Do you use titanium? When I first flashed CM7 I thought I had lost most of my apps but they are at the bottom of the list on titainium with a line through them. Just restore them. I thought I had lost the anarchy launcher from TriNitY ROM but there it was.
Edit: The opera mini is really light on systems

Yeah, I saw the same on the XDA News section a while back. A day after it was discovered, the person who discovered Dolphin was "logging" your internet travels released a method to disable it. Afterwards, Dolphin hopped on board and disabled that function in an update. Dolphin was again tested and was found to no longer log anything.
My Top 3 Browsers (for anyone who cares to know) are as follows, and are in NO particular order:
Skyfire
Dolphin Browser HD
Opera

Dolphin mini is fast
Opera mobile is amazing functionality wise, but the UI iss clunky as fluff
I tried boat a long time ago, but when I did it seemed very close to miren. Go for it

Just discovered Miren missing myself. I still have the apk, but it started having...issues. It was rendering the full version of pages no matter what the user agent was set to. I'm going to try Boat, based on what's being said here, but I also really dig xScope. Might go that route.

Has anyone been experiencing this issue? I can pretty much download anything in a 'third party' browser like Dolphin HD, but my question is with the stock browser. I'm not a Dolphin fan since that whole "capture you information" issues with them, so I been getting myself use to use the stock browser that came with our SGS2..
I only had my AWESOME phone for only a week.. I came from a HTC G2, which I never had this problem.
How come I can't download anything? It would say download unsuccessful. If I go into downloads and press on the it, it would say "Download Failed. Can not download. The content is not supported on this phone.". I'm trying to download simple MP3s from the Coast to Coast AM site..
I never experienced this issue with my G2 on any browser. On my new SGS2, it can only be downloaded from third party browsers...
Any guesses?
It seems (as I type this post) someone in the G2X forums has also been experiencing this issue HERE.
Download astro file manager and I. Settings enable browser download. It'll let you use stock browser for dl. Its not a bug it happens with most stock browsers.

Chrome has become my daily browser since I started using Dolphin with my Nexus One.
With the last update for Chrome and FF09, it's the smoothest browser I've used on Android. However, there are still instances where scrolling is jerky and sometimes scrolling stops working for half a minute. It seems like it only happens when I try to scroll while a page hasn't finished loading, but all of the browsers I've tried seem to have issues with scrolling an incomplete page. Closing and reopening the tab will fix the jerky scrolling.
Chrome also freezes on me forcing me to force stop it through settings -> applications. I cannot reliably reproduce this problem and it is annoying, but the benefits of having access to the open tabs on my computer on my phone outweigh this problem.
I do wish Google would iterate the Chrome beta app as fast as they iterate the desktop version of Chrome beta because I'm assuming they mean for this browser to become to default one on Android and jerky scrolling and freezes is pretty bad.
I absolutely do not know which Chrome people are using that they find "buttery smooth" and "fast". It is a terrible laggy and crappy browser on my end. The last update killed it for me where it only launches to a white screen and just freezes. If and when it does decide to work properly, it's stutters and jib-jabs when scrolling, no flash, just all around terrible. No wonder it's surname is still BETA.
Dolphin browser (mini or HD) puts it to shame, really.
You can also try firefox... It's very smooth, and untill now, I didnt find any problem
I like it but I never use it. No flash is... well, no flash. No plugin support like the rest of em either. you'd think with google being the og devs for android. Could make it all work out.

Yup, if anyone wants to use flash with Dolphin, you'll have to find an older Dolphin HD app...but that typically crashes when you try to rotate the video...xscope works great with flash though.
I dont find the need of using flash with dolphin. Its the only browser that lets me see most videos online, in websites like gorillavid, putlicker and other. Dont know if it is because of the html5 support but it sure gives a nice performance. I used to watch the wire in dolphin at night

For those of you who go to the trouble of installing an old version of Dolphin- beware. Mine use to update itself to the new version all by itself. Even with updates disabled!

works only with stock browser
I have the apk installed. To see flash content I use Firefox beta. Works very well. Only crashed once while watching a video.

I could see any flash streams BEFORE the update with the default browser, but after the update, it looks like the Stock browser does not work with Flash anymore.
I can watch the streams with Dolphin Browser, but not with the default one.
Anyone knows a work-around to be able to see the Flash content in the Default browser?

Just use this along with flashify, which will allow you to open links that have flash running in them in your stock browser. Works well for me for the few times I need to see a flash derived page.
I've been using Dolphin Beta with the flash player, cause I think the newest Beta has some form of the Jetpack.
I use this to enable flash. Not so sure about the add-ons though.
At the very least, it's pretty fast, and it doesn't sacrifice flash.
Use "Puffin Web Browser" for Flash - Best I've experienced so far...overall....stable.
Hi all
I don't know if it's OK to post this here, if not my apologies.
Ive been using maxthon for a while now and maxthon browsers' quick back is amazing... I realized that "going back to the previous page " is a big part of my web browsing experience and the quick back function in maxthon makes this really instant (less then a second to go back)
any other browsers have this? I've tried the more popular ones but none of them seem to pack this feature.
Cheers

I am not trying to start a "what is the best browser" war here.
I am using chrome right now but, today I noticed it is seriously draining my battery. I am going turn sync off on it hoping that helps but, I doubt that will do a whole lot.
I would like to know what everyone is using and if it drains the battery a lot or not.

I've always used stock, seems to have most features I need and it seems much faster than the others most of the time, especially when compared to chrome. Chrome's always seemed really slow for me at least. Stock doesn't seem to kill the battery much either.

I generally use the stock browser, but occasionally use Chrome. The stock browser seems to have the best luck with displaying pages correctly.
everytime I try chrome, I'm reminded why I don't use it on android. Much slower loading of most web pages, web pages load weird, etc. As long as a stock browser can pull my chrome desktop bookmarks, that is what I use. Not to mention the stock browser has incognito mode.
Yeah been trying out Firefox and the stock browser lately. I like both of them more than chrome. They seem faster. Not sure how I like Firefox's tab thing though.
