Having significantly lost only in the startup time, Dolphin takes the lead, followed by Maxthon and Sleipnir.

It’s nice to see young and less known companies innovating. The more hyped web browser was, the worse overall score it had.

    I really like Opera for my Android. I use both Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. This test only used Opera Mobile as it is a full true native browser. Opera Mini uses server pre-compression and has minimal javascript implementation and isn’t suitable for a full featured test like this.
