There is no such thing as slow phones, just slow people.

Just my 30,000ft take on that subject. And in that case, the built-in browser for Android fails, whereas Dolphin really doesn't.
Yes that is exactly what I meant by a "full browser", not a browser that automatically loads the m. mobile version of a said website.

That's actually not the browser's fault. The BROWSER isn't doing that--that's the web site seeing that your agent is set to either iphone or android and redirects you if your agent identifies as either of those. Dolphin, Fennec and all the other browsers will do the same thing unless you change the agent for a web site to something else other than either iphone or android.

How doable is it to change the "agent" on an Android device?

Very. http://lifehacker.com/5547037/change...-android-phone

Also, Dolphin has it right in the settings menu under "System".

With Dolphin, it's in the user settings... so real easy.

On the built-in browser, about:debug in address bar (go), More, Settings, UAS - set it to Android, iPhone or Desktop.

So... real easy.

Edit: Didn't see danramos' answer.

This is too encouraging! So "Dolphin" is the undisputed best browser for Android?
