firefox for android
« on: May 02, 2013, 07:11:44 PM »
anyone use it?  like it?
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I did not.  Both Firefox and Chrome for android took up an awful lot of space and were pretty slow on my mid-range phone.  I have settled on Maxthon as my android browser.  I liked Dolphin as well.

I tried firefox and just didn't care for it.

I use and am happy with Dolphin.
That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

Second for Dolphin, on my Droid Bionic (now a mid-range phone, as opposed to the top-end when it came out). Has worked well for a couple of years now. Though I thought the stock browser worked reasonably well, too.

Firefox sucked on my Android ASUS tablet.  Super slow.  Still using the default browser.

I wasn't impressed. I too used Dolphin until I upgraded phones recently. Droid RAZR Maxx HD runs Chrome quite well. Being able to keep a common set of bookmarks synced across phone, iPad and multiple computers has caused me to switch.

Weird. Chrome runs craptastically for me on my non-HD Maxx. Sits there for several seconds spinning it's wheels doing nothing, not even displaying the current page I'd left it on every time I open it up. And it's slow otherwise as well.

I wouldn't use it at all were it not for the bookmark synch (which any number of apps or widgets will fix for you if you care to...) or that the stock Android browser weren't so FUBAR'ed in the latest update, not accepting SWYPE input correctly, or it's random inability to accept touch input on hyperlinks.  :P

I'll have to go check out dolphin.
I promise not to duck.
