That was pretty funny. I'm using dolphin almost exclusively now. Could it be better? Yes, but just the fact that the text adjusts to Droid width after a zoom makes the bugs worth it. Copy and paste works for me too, plus he expressions are quite convenient.

No sign of malware that I have spotted.

One bug that I've noticed with the pinch zoom is that sometimes it won't hold and goes back to small text the moment you touch the screen. I may be causing it myself, but I haven't figured out how to stop it without closing the app and coming back in.

On the stock browser I kept bouncing to other pages when I double touched and moving back and forth to read text. Like the letters big. Love the Droid.

I've been toying with Dolphin browser with no ill effects to my Droid

My first Droid had random reboots (3 or 4 per week) and in the first month of ownership it hard locked at the Droid eye maybe 3 or 4 times. I never had the dolphin browser installed. Hope this helps.

So how effective is the lookout security app? That's what I have installed on my Droid. Or the Norton Anti-virus app?

Do they really work? I usually have that app running and I have not seen anything different other than the same "Lookout is scanning App X, App X is safe."

I really like the gestures and features on the Dolphin. I have used it for about a week. I have not experienced crashes like the OP has.

Dolphin works great for me, no issues here.

I've have had the Dolphin browser since day one and I haven't seen anything odd about it, I think it's just like a lot of software on this OS, it needs time to mature.

No problem like you have and Dolphin has been my default for a few days now.

Ok, I thought it was me....I only installed Dolphin because I could use it to download youtube videos to my Droid. But since then, my phone does have a slight lag and I keep getting random updates for Dolphin Browser after I've already installed the update. Well, I'm gonna delete it and run the anti-virus software and see what that does.
