True.

I use both. The android browser defaults to mobile sites more often and lacks the detailed gesture controls and pc KB commands such as simple copy and paste (you have to use a menu and even then it is clunky)

Basically, the interaction with the Android browser is far worse than Microb.

Now, the AB loads faster and plays flash very well of course. I enjoy using it as long as I don't have to copy text, play a game or use detailed desktop like interactions. If so, it is Microb all the way.

My bank website shows up the desktop on Microb but comes up mobile on AB.

The AB is the second best desktop browser but the best smartphone browser, if that makes sense....
