I use the stock browser on my EVO (Froyo Equipped) primarily. I have not been to a website it cannot handle yet. I watch a lot sites with video embedded including, MSN, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, GIZMODO, and others with no problems whatsoever.

Why not included UC Browser?
Have a look at http://uc.cn/English/index.html
or Android page: http://uc.cn/English...rm-android.html

I can't believe you didn't include XScope. I actually prefer it over Dolphin and it has another 'pin zoom' feature that makes zooming with one hand a breeze.

I tried all of them... and ended up preferring and using the stock 2.2 browser.

I still prefer Dolphin HD.

But Skyfire? Skyfire is scary.

The company does not have a working business model. Transcoding video is insanely expensive.

The only way they can survive is by gathering personal data and selling it to advertisers.

The company has also been caught lying numerous times.

Stay well clear!

What is the point of including Fennec, but not XScope? XScope has been one of the best browsers in the market for a long time, and Fennec isn't even a finished product yet!

I have also found that a certain browser called Miren Browser should get some attention. I like the way the tabs appear at the top and when you first open the browser, it gives you a list of favorites that you can customize, as well as your history, downloads, ect. It also goes full screen when notifications bar is not being used but it also allows you to simply scroll to the top of the page and slide your finger down and the notifications bar shows itself again. I find it to be better than Dolphin HD or Skyfire

Only firefox support windows authentication but it is not fast: try to navigate on a sharepoint site - to pass a folder to another it takes more than a minute.
I can´t understand why the others not support windows authentication

You say it's Fennec's syncing capabilities that really make it special, yet in the review for Opera Mini you mention it doing exactly the same thing (yes it syncs Speed Dial, passwords and history as well).

I can only attribute your lack of fanfare for Opera's identical capabilities on your preference for Firefox on your desktop. All I can say is whenever I've tried to use Firefox, I've had to download numerous plug-ins to get it do half of the nifty things Opera does right off the bat. And never as well. When I have to do that, a browser having plug-ins as a feature isn't necessarily a good thing in my eyes.
