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.

Re: Any one know of better browser than the stock one
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.

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.

Re: Any one know of better browser than the stock one
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.
