I've been on Dolphin ever since i got my EVO, I've never had any issues. It seem to be slower rendering pages with Froyo 2.2 than it was with 2.1 Is the stock browser alot better with 2.2?

The consensus (and I agree) is that 2.2 browser is considerably faster. Add in Flash 10.1 and it looks real good.

The home page thing I mentioned above is an annoyance for sure, but not sure if other browser options are better yet (and if those browsers are also FroYo-ized).

I just hate the laggy-ness with scrolling. I thought there was something wrong with Fresh's newest ROM, but I see its a Froyo thing.

Dolphin HD doesn't run flash automatically anymore you have to press the grey button with the green arrow for it to play flash content, smh. I'm pretty sure they are working on it.

Go to Settings -> System settings -> Enable plug-ins ->Always on. That will make them load automatically, they're set to on demand by default.

I used Dolphin HD exclusively on Eclair. When I upgraded, I couldnt get flash to work. So I hard reset and decided to get the stock browser a try.

I don't like it at all. The performance is poor, with lots of input lag and jerky scrolling. Didn't have that problem with 2.1. I saw on AC forums that a lot of people were complaining about the browser performance with Froyo. Many also reported that changing Enable plugins to "on demand" seemed to help, but I refuse to do that.

I even tried Dolphin again in 2.2, and it suffers from the same performance issues as well.

Overall, not very happy with browser performance on 2.2

Try Sprint lover's froyo rom. It's A LOT better. When I was on other froyo rom, I couldn't stand the laggyness you are having.

i never liked opera, n skyfire is nice but seems to mess up a lot
only problem i see with the stock browers is that now it always wants to open up the last page opened. should be an option to toggle that on and off
