Any one know of better browser than the stock one
 
I'm starting to hate the stock browser.

It just doesn't size right when you double tap zoom.

Is their and alternate browser that works better. I like that it's fast and flash works but I'm so tired of zig zagging down a column of text to read it.

It happens on multipe sites but not all.

I have mobile view off. I hate when Mobile View is on. I think it may behave different with mobile view on but I don't like a lot of Mobile sites.

I have been using xScope since the beginning. There is a free version and a paid version in the Market. Try it, you may like it.

I have yet to run into any problems with the stock browser... But I know several people who swear by Opera Mini.

I'll give a shot eventually.
I'll also try xScope as the Rainfreak suggests.

If you try it, you'll like it. And that isn't a request.

Do a search for Dolphin browser.

I personally like xScope much better than Dolphin browser. xScope is quite a bit faster and has more functionality, IMHO.

I find when I tilt to landscape and back to portrait (or vice versa) it sizes correctly. I think it is just a matter of repainting the canvas.

I have tried Opera Mini, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Miren, Sky Browser (Chinese & English), SkyFire, and few others that I forgot their names...

I like the Dolphin mini browser best. Follow by the Dolphin HD. Reminds me of Firefeox.

Just tried it, nope, doesn't work.

The problem is not with all sites.

Well, not all sites pages are the same. Some are WAP, some HTML and some XML. Others are actually images which don't play well.
Go to iDrudgeReport.Com and see how it works. I know it plays well on Androids with the stock browser. If it doesnot with your's, then something is strange in your phone.

Im a huge fan of Dolphin HD. It reminds me of google chrome with the extensions and tab browsing. For all out speed, I like the new Dolphin Mini

I use Dolphin HD, no problems for me.

Displays sites just like it would on a desktop, unless the site forces mobile version.

The Skyfire browser is my default browser.

I really like the dolphin browser... Guess I will have to checkout this xScope just to see what it is all about. Are you using the free or paid version?

I love Dolphin HD as well and sometimes will use skyfire, I rarely use the default browser at all.
