Has anyone had an issue with the dolphin browser becoming unresponsive after awhile? On my xperia compact after the browser initially launches, I can browse for awhile but then the browser begins to hang on pages after and refuses to load them as if I have no Internet connectivity. Very frustrating since my former phone (Nexus 5) did not have these problems.
Other browsers work and will load pages so I don't think it's a connectivity issue.
Not with Dolphin, but I got the same problem with AOSP browser

Funny. I usually have to resort to the aosp browser ("Android browser" on play store) when dolphin stops working. I wish aosp supported bookmark syncing.
I have this problem since the last updates of Dolphin but... on my Xperia S !

Are there any hardware accelerated browsers available for Android currently, other than the Samsung browser? I'm not sure whether the Opera Mobile 10.1 beta uses it, it was talked about a lot months ago but talk of such has since stopped. Additionally, Opera Mobile hasn't been updated since mid-November, and still has a lot of quirks (scrolling in general isn't optimized, text input boxes/soft keyboard behavior is annoying, incorrect page rendering etc). But either way, general panning and pinch-to-zoom is still noticeably smoother than with the stock browser, and it's got me looking for other options, which I can't find.
From what I know, Stock, Miren, Firefox, Dolphin, and Skyfire all don't use it either.

Stock Sense browser is indeed accelerated, Dolphin HD is as well. Skyfire is in a way, just not on the phone side of things in that all the web pages are rendered on the server side. Pretty sure Opera uses it both in the Mobile and Mini versions though I'm like you and hate the quirky behavior of it.
When zooming out in the stock browser theres the overshooting animation which makes the browser seem very slow, especially in flash intensive sites, is there any way to remove it?

maybe opera mobile is a better choice, it's really fast
Opera doesn't support flash
Use Dolphin HD - it's great
I used it for the last 5 month and is handles well all flash related and zooming options.
It also has a few addons like bookmark to sd card and others.
That overshooting animation is a pain in the ass. Im at 1.2GHz, and the only time it isn't painfully laggy is on google.com.

Opera Mini is far the fastest browser on the earth... but that version doesnt support flash,if you want flash go for Opera mobile .
review of dolphin hd
Performance
Dolphin HD may offer a good browsing experience, but it's a bit slower than other mobile browsers. To test the Dolphin HD's speed we loaded several websites heavy with images plus Java and/or Flash elements using the Motorola Droid X and a 3G connection.
The full version of Laptopmag.com took an average of 21.7 seconds to load; that time was the slowest of the lot, but not by much. Skyfire took 20.7 seconds, and the stock Android browser took 21.3 seconds. With NYTimes.com, Dolphin fared better, loading the page in an average of 15 seconds, fast enough to beat Skyfire (18.3 seconds) and a hair behind the stock browser (14.7 seconds). Regardless, Opera Mini loaded those two pages in 5.7 and 6.3 seconds, respectively.

Since I got this table a year ago, browsing in chrome was always kinda wacky.
It is slow and unresponsive, clicking on links takes forever.
Anyone else? Is this an issue with the tablet itself? Any fix?
Hi, was my problem too, no i have downloaded xposed module app setting, configurated chrome to screen 320x480 (for use phone interface that is, really strange.. very faster than tablet version) and.. voilà.. now chrome is really fast and for open only desktop site use this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811101.
You could try downloading the Chrome Samsung support library from the Play store. I've found it really improves Chrome performance on Samsung devices.

Just wondering if anyone use Opera Browser. I switched to this browser since it does a nice job with word wrap and formats the text into a column that makes it perfectly readable. Dolphin had this until the Nougat update and now it lost it's word wrap abilities.
However with the Moto Z Play whenever I use Opera if I try to switch to a link to fast or do too many presses the app seems to lock up or take it's time to catch up. If it can't catch up it then pops up a screen to either Wait, restart, or shut down the browser.
I am trying to figure out if it's my phone or just the Opera browser that is causing all these problems.
Anyone else have these problems with Opera?
I have a Pixel XL which seems to run Opera a little bit more smooth and doesn't have this problem. However I want to use the Moto Z Play due to the excellent battery life. The Pixel while nice and fast and excellent camera just doesn't have the Moto z play's battery life which I need more than the speed.
I occasionally use Opera. Haven't noticed this behavior.
i get this a lot with Opera on the Priv with certain websites (Amazon Music is a trouble spot), but i haven't had any issues on the Z Play.
I would suggest getting in contact with Opera and see if they can help.
Across all my devices Opera is very inconsistent.It either eats up all available RAM or is just plain crap as a browser .
I wanted to ask which browser you use?
The Samsung Thing?
Chrome?
Firefox?
Other?
Your experience?
Chrome, just because of the integration between phone, Chromebook and PC.
I use Chrome mainly but at night I use Samsung's browser for its night mode.
I've voted Chrome. I use it on all my Androids, on my Mac and on my PC and the history & password manager integration between devices & platforms is great. However, I find the Samsung browser to be much faster than Chrome.
I switched to Firefox for a few reasons on my desktop about 6 months ago but mobile Firefox is still trash performance wise and has weird scrolling so I'm using Chrome. I miss having my bookmarks synced
I use Samsung Internet :good:
I use Mercury and Firefox.
