I’m sure that Google doesn’t want to switching away from Chrome, but let’s break with tradition! If are using Android 2.0+, then here’s some good news … you can enjoy tabbed browsing, add-ons and many more amazing features on your Android device through one of the most popular browsers for Android, Dolphin Browser HD.
In addition to extensions and tabbed browsing, the new HD release of the Dolphin Browser adds a lot of other exciting features, such as YouTube downloading, multi-touch pinch zoom, flick-based navigation, gesture launching, and sorting of bookmarks. Due to the tabbed browsing, you might feel a little short of space if you’re Internet surfing on a small screen, but the finger pinch zoom makes it easy to expand the interface for easy viewing.
Keeping Google happy, the extensions integrate a lot of Google Services like access to Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, GTalk. There’s also Facebook and Twitter Share for quick ways to share links with Facebook and Twitter friends. There’s also an Ad-block, bookmark add-ons, RSS feeds and more... Dolphin Browser HD supports hi-definition themes, but there’s not much to choose from in the default package, just a violet theme that makes the tabs turn purple. Apparently you can download more themes from the Apps marketplace. The integrated YouTube downloading feature is pretty handy. With it you can download videos to an SD card. It also has a fairly complete bookmarking feature. The gesture controls are pretty fun. You can use finger based gestures to go back and forth on a webpage, or use characters to open your favorite websites, for instance, swizzle F on the screen to open Facebook, or setup S for accessing shanzai.com!
The Dolphin browser is miles ahead of Chrome on Android, or even Firefox for that matter.
