Dolphin vs Xscope
Dolphin browser, which has another version called Dolphin HD, is a branch off the main Android browser development. It has gesture support, tabbed browsing show on screen, download videos, and a bunch of other little enhancements. It also has a share button allowing sharing a webpage, as well as syncs bookmarks with Google Bookmarks. It also has a read it later button, and RSS subscriptions.
There are few problems of the Dolphin mobile browser, it does not do geo location, and speed-wise, subjectively it is slower than the default browser. Somehow it doesn't feel that special when compared to xScope, except gestures.
It has a strange name, but xScope is one of the alternate browsers on the market that does offer a lot of features beyond the default. It has theme support and quite fast, has a starting grid, and interface that may be even more sophisticated than other mobile browsers, fully supporting pinch zoom, tabbed browsing, and more. It also has a file browser and task manager built-in to the browser, 3 to 5 time?s faster performance, and xScope does not disappoint for the multi-functional browsing.
xScope does have few problems, it is virtually unheard, and it does not do that online backup or saved pages. Subjectively, xScope is fast and multi-functional. If you need a browser that does a lot of things, xScope is worthy of your attention.
