Review: Dolphin Browser for Android

November 12th, 2009

I’ve been playing with a browser I found by accident in Android Market for about a day now, and I’m quite impressed. I was happy with the built in browser, but this one gives customizable gestures, tabs, and a whole slew of popular sites, and social links as a catalog of bookmarks by default. Its interface is well thought out, the tabs can hide to give up that valuable real estate.

The browser even supports multi-touch for the cynogen builds, which I haven’t tested, but I am willing to bet it makes the power of this little browser that much more awesome.

I would highly recommend this browser to anybody, especially if you are a web junky like me.
