Which Browser ?

I am on a windows 8.1 tablet with a removable keyboard. (Asus transformer T100). I am using it most of the time without the keyboard. I am docking in only when I need to transfer data to the big hardrive which is in the Keyboard, the tablet itself only has 32 gb on board with a micro SD slot to add some space but even then, you are still limited in space. But I am fine with that. The goal is to be working only on this tablet and passing my netbook (windows 7) to my son who needs a portable but powerful solution.

What I am not fine with are the browsers. I hate IE, and have been using Chrome for years now on my netbook. If I am using Chrome on the tablet WITH the keyboard, marking and copying words or a phrase on a website is no problem at all. If I am using the tablet on its own, so relying purely on the touch command, I cannot mark and copy more than one word at a time (double tap marks the word, a long tap open the menu). HOW STUPID IS THIS ?

Does anyone know of another browser that would let me, in tablet mode, select a phrase and copy it ?

Sadly, I did not buy this tablet in one of my gadget binge but because my son really needs the netbook. I love the tablet in many aspects, but there are things I don't like. They are all related to windows, not to asus.
