I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Just a quick one: 100% faster means it’s twice as fast, not ten times as fast.

    1. This was from Dolphin’s description. “10X ‘s faster than the stock Android browser” and “100% faster than Chrome.” :p

      1. I find ICS’s stock browser to be much faster and smoother than Chrome. Jelly Bean is another story because I believe it replaces the old browser.

        1. I thought I was the only one! I always use stock ICS browser instead of Chrome. Much faster :)

  2. Maybe I’m from the future, or they’ve released a new beta recently….but I’ve had this Dolphin Browser beta for weeks now…

    It is pretty quick though, I have to say…

  3. It’s twice as fast not ten times as fast! Every single one of your articles has a moronic flaw.

    1. That’s a direct quote from Dolphin’s description:

      “10X ‘s faster than the stock Android browser” and “100% faster than Chrome.” (They’re 2 separate things)

      Oh yeah, BANNED.

      1. Apologies Chris. I love you man!

        1. At least you were respectful about it <3
