Browser thoughts

With the dawn of the "faster in every way" froyo, the browser seemed to get an overhaul. I used to use opera but now I feel with the intergrated flash the stock browser does very well. Anyone come across any issues with the stock browser?

Well I can say from the day I got the EVO I quit using opera mini all together. I thought the stock browser worked great on 2.1 but on 2 separate froyo roms I've loaded since the update scrolling is horrible. It's like ur dragging the page

Dude anything is better than Opera Mini....that Browser is half ass done...no back button...loads slowly...and shows the block pattern....the Android Browser is by far better....even if it scrolling is horrible.

I feel that opera is the fastest but its a pain to stream things. Dolphin is the same and skyfire isnt great either

Yep thats how i feel as well, and streaming isnt too great either, i have to fight with it to get it to go into full screen mode...i only managed to achieve that once btw. Skyfire was my favorite browser an it worked great ..wen it worked. now wen i try to stream a vid all i get is "Media Error 1:1" or sumthin ...im currently looking for an alternative

Stock needs more work
Dolphin HD sucks
opera Sucks
xscope sucks...wuts left?

I hate that it automatically opens the last page you had open and doesn't automatically go to your home page, even if your internet is killed by ATK.

It's a home page for a reason.

Me too! It always opened my home page properly prior to installing froyo but now it opens the last page used. Anyway to change it to open the home page like it should?

Don't think so...I've seen it casually mentioned in threads on other sites but doesn't seem to bother people like it bothers me.

Might have to try Opera Mini and/or Dolphin to see how those work.
