Introduction
Android is the name of the popular operating system for mobile devices (phone and tablet) created by Google. In order to browse the Internet, a device needs a web browser in order to display pages. Although Android comes with a default browser, there are many others available that offer extra features designed to make your browsing experience easier or more enjoyable.
Choosing a mobile browser on Android is no simple task due to a bewildering array of choices in the Play Store. However, one of the biggest advantages of Google's operating system is the huge variety of both apps and browsers that are available.
Another feature of Android is the wide variety of devices that it will run on. From very low resolution, low powered 2" screens, to screamingly fast 10" + tablets that would put some PCs to shame.
This means that no one solution works best on all those devices, even before you consider personal choice and the different browsing habits of the user.
All is not lost though! There are a number of factors that may make your decision easier, and I will try to cover those in the article to point you in the direction of apps that are likely to work in your situation.

This is the first revision of this page, and it can only improve with your input. Feel free to comment and make suggestions - I plan to add every browser in the Play Store in time, so bear with me.
In my opinion, if you have a reasonably recent piece of hardware running a recent version of Android (2.2+) then the best choices are:
1st Choice: Opera Mobile
Alternative: Dolphin browser HD
If you have an older machine, or lower spec hardware:
1st Choice: Dolphin mini
Alternative: Opera mini
