Dolphin Browser Mini

Dolphin Browser Mini is one of the most lightweight browsers available for Android, yet it still packs a lot of performance and functionality. The app is just over one megabyte in size and has been designed to give maximum performance to users of older Android devices.

When you use Dolphin Browser Mini, you will get all of the features included in the default Android browser, plus the ability to import your bookmarks to make a smoother transition. It does offer a few enhancements as far as browsing is concerned. You can open as many tabs as you wish and change between them by using your device's volume buttons. Another interested feature included in Dolphin Browser Mini is that you now have the ability to set gesture shortcuts to perform common actions, such as opening or closing tabs or refreshing a page.

For those who want to make more advanced changes to the way they browse the web, Dolphin Browser Mini supports user agent switching. This comes in handy if you visit a website that presents different content to PC and mobile users and want to make it think that you're browsing from your desktop.

This small browser can handle JavaScript and Flash (Android 2.2 or higher required) quite well according to benchmarks done by a variety of technology publications. However, one should remember that older Android devices may not be able to handle too many open tabs at once, regardless of browser. For even faster performance and bandwidth savings on older devices, users can disable JavaScript, Flash and images.
