I’ve been looking for a good all round web browser for Android mobile phones for a while. The default version is pretty limited in functionality, and Opera is frankly a bit of a pain to use. Which is why I’m delighted to report that the free Dolphin Browser is a very cool way to access the web on your Android smartphone, and should be on top of your list of apps to check out.

There are two versions, the standard Dolphin Browser for earlier Android versions like 1.6 and Dolphin Browser HD for Android 2.1 and above. Both feature some ultra useful functionality like gesture navigation, tabs, read it later, pinch and zoom, volume button scrolling and more. It’s fast too, and delivers a great web experience on small screens. Recommended.
