Most Android devices come with some run-of-the-mills, terribly coded web browser. On most people's phones, it's called 'Internet' or 'Web'. The lovely people over at Skyfire have created a web browser that is in my opinion the most superior web browser out there.
Skyfire gives you the ability to favorite things, to 'like' things, has a downloads folder for easy viewing of downloads, allows the best display/changing between multiple window tabs and multiple windows, gives you quick access to social sites like Facebook and Twitter, and best of all makes use of the wonderful feature known as hardware acceleration.
Hardware acceleration is when a computer uses it's components to help increase load times. In the case of cell phones, this means that the phone isn't rendering most of the page via the web browser itself, rather it is sending some of the information to the processor in order to increase the time at which it loads the page. In essence, processors can read and show you information a lot faster than just relying on your internet connection.
And best of all, Skyfire is free!
