Android is the name of the popular operating system for mobile devices (phone and tablet) created by Google. In order to browse the internet, a device needs a web browser in order to display pages. Although Android comes with a default browser, there are many others available that offer different features designed to make your browsing experience easier or more exciting. Here we review and provide feedback on real use of each one |

Dolphin Browser is a powerful browser with multi-tab browsing, bookmarking and syncing, multi-touch zooming, back and forward navigation, better HTML5 support, versatile add-ons, optional mobile view and many more features. This app comes with a HD version used for mobile devices with a larger screen such as tablets, and a Mini version with a simple design in mind and for running fast on smaller screen devices such as smartphones. Other than running on Google's Android, this mobile web browser is also available to Apple's iOS systems.

Unfortunately Google Chrome for Android doesn't have Flash support (and it won't). I hope Google finds a workaround for this as many key sites use flash for browsing. Your can read the official Adobe post here:

It doesnt have flash and it will never have flash
html5 is the future
and neways chrome is only for ics and there are hardly 1% people using ICS
You're right about HTML5, but flash is still needed (at least for now) and Google knows about it, so they developed an app called Swiffy that can turn flash into html5 but it's still a beta product. I think Google made this as a temporary solution in order to cover this "flash issue". ICS is to increase its numbers soon and many users will start to use Chrome inmediately and that will be the beginning of the end for flash, but for the time being we'll have to get along with it.
Yeah, unless Adobe change their mind about flash (which doesn't look likely) Chrome is stuck without flash, which is a shame. I'm expecting an ICS device soon, so I'll do a review when I get it
The default browser is also awesome..btw chrome's here to kick everybody else
Hey tinye!
Im adopting the exact same post but for the iOS system although I work on android too. I look forward to viewing this article in the future!
