Thanks guys. Those two are the ones I'm battling over in my head. And there may be others as I see more opinions.
#1 - I've heard/read about Dolphin more than any other tablet browsers in my travels. And nothing but good. Lots of ability to configure. See below.
#2 - Also; I'm a FireFox FanMan. [Look, at 55 years; the word 'Boy' has been dropped by the wayside many moons ago.]
But that's FF on my PC. I want to see how it translates to a 7" tablet. Big difference. Then again; all the years of fine-tuning I've kept with FF might blend in well with the Small Screen. I like the ability to configure. There are drawbacks to having more control, but I like to have things just the way I want. Precision over speed. Or; 'Quality Over Quantity', I guess.
I'm thinking FF as the simplest way to have exactly my parameters mirrored. But Dolphin is more of an empty pallet to build new ones within the zone of a screen 1/4 the size. Could my FF be too busy for 7"? With my eyes now, this might be a consideration - they are not what they were 20 years ago. But can I turn my back on old faithful?
I'm seeing myself using both in a run-off. Or keeping both. We all use browsers for different jobs. And I use 3 on my laptop. No rules.

And that's what I wanted when I posted.
I wanted to deal with a battle of Top Players - like 2 or 3 or more.
I didn't want to download 10 or 12, and have to sort through the garbage and lackluster, when there's so many of you out there that have actual real-world experience.
Also, I believe that those browsers that are considered 'best' by most, have probably had the most time and effort pumped into their development. And those, in turn, deserve the attention.
And it's not laziness, but logic.
I have occupations and hobbies that I am expert in. And when asked, I thrill at giving info to those that might not yet be in my fields of endeavor.
When I have no idea, there's others that have the past knowledge to hand over.
Beautiful system.

Thanks again for your time. [I can't believe how long this post turned out.]
