The default internet browser on my Android phone worked properly, so I rarely give it much thought. I never had any issues getting to an internet page and finding results – so if it isn’t broken, why fix it, right?Dolphin has a feature called Webzine, which allows you to select content from over 300 sources on the web and display the latest articles from that source in a magazine-like format. In addition to Webzine, there is also a speed dial feature that allows you to put in your top 10 websites for one-touch access. Every time you open a new tab, webzine and speed dial are available, which can increase your efficiency in accessing your favorite content.
Another time saver with Dolphin occurs when you start typing a URL. There is an “auto-complete” feature that displays results from both your bookmarked items and your browsing history.
The last feature that I would like to discuss involves gestures. Dolphin has built-in gestures that can help you access certain features by simply drawing on the screen. For instance, if you want to access Google, you can tap the gesture button and then draw a G on your screen. To go to the top of the page, simply touch the gesture button, and then draw a ^ on the screen. You can also create your own gestures to access the sites or functionality that you use the most.
I am not sure that I would pay for the extra features that Dolphin provides. As I said earlier, there wasn’t anything “wrong” with the default browser that came with the Android. But the fact that Dolphin has a free version made switching to it an easy decision.
