    Two things in opera annoy me - the inability to clear a Google search result and the fact that Google images no longer works. I need a new browser that supports tabs and embedded YouTube clips. Chrome doesn't work on my tablet.

    Haven't a tablet, so can't say whether or not quick ICS browser will work on it.

    I've found it to be quickest and best browser after trying many many alternatives.

    Looks pretty good so far. It seems to handle the cool vid forum well in any case

    Have you tried Dolphin? I'm using it for ages. It's a fully functional browser, lots of add-ons for it.

    I use Boat Browser. It's can handle flash and youtube videos. No problems looking through the cvpl forum with it.

    I like Opera, tried Dolphin but hated it. Chrome is best the alternative IMO.

    A phone browser should be fast and stable above all else and Opera and Chrome are the only two phone browsers I've seen that can meet this requirement.

    +1 for Boat. Only used it for a few days but so far, so good. Quicker than Opera, doesn't crash like Chrome did on my phone. Just moved from Dolphin, the only thing that annoyed me about that was loading boards, you would often have to scroll up before anything would appear.

    I used to use Dolphin but just didn't love it for some reason I can't quite remember.

    Has anyone done a good comparison of Maxthon, Quick ICS and Boat?
