Android Options Mean "Best" Browsers Might Surprise You

Posted by timothy on Thursday December 6, 2012 @02:24AM from the an-actual-figurative-ecosystem dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this quote from Tom's Hardware: "Due to Apple's anti-3rd-party browser stance, and Windows RT's IE-only advantage on the 'Desktop,' Android is the only mobile platform where browser competition is thriving. The results are pretty surprising, with the long-time mobile browsers like Dolphin, Maxthon, Sleipnir, and the stock Android browser coming out ahead of desktop favorites like Firefox, Opera, and even Chrome. Dolphin, thanks to its new Jetpack HTML5 engine, soars ahead of the competition."

So it is for your own good, since you are too stupid to make your own decisions?
What if I don't care about battery life? What if I really need a webpage to load correctly and not in a way safari does it?
If they want to set the defaults that is fine, but to prevent me from doing at all unless I use their one true way is why I will never buy and iOS device.
