Totally digging on Miren browser. I had been using Dolphin HD, but some time after the froyo update, it became very slow and clicking on links was a challenging affair unless the page fully loaded. It was just too twitchy and laggy for every day browsing, forcing me to turn to Opera Mini for daily use, especially for forums, where Dolphin HD forced me to completely reload the page when I went back. However, Opera Mini had its own host of issues -- what I gained in speed I lost in functionality. No Flash, no desktop experience, and weird issues with certain websites. HTF would crash frequently, and I was unable to post in most forums. Miren browser is the best of both worlds -- I can hit back and forward without having to reload pages. I can click on links before the page has fully loaded and I can stop a new page from loading if I select the wrong link. In Dolphin, stopping the page from loading required you to go back and reload since it already dumped the page from memory. Opera and Dolphin were both quite twitchy about selecting links where Miren is much more accurate with regard to selecting links. Mostly, I have my speed back, and while Opera Mini is still a bit faster, it's not worth the cut down mobile experience. Miren handles Flash like a champ, and I've moved both the Galaxy Tab and the Evo to Miren for every day browsing. And yes, it's free from the Market.
