Lifehacker is one of the 16 Featured Webzine sites you can view in Dolphin Browser, but you can view other websites in this easy-on-the-eyes, distraction-free view as well.
Most exciting in the version 7 update is the Dolphin Connect feature, which will save your browsing preferences such as your gestures, bookmarks and other preferences, but you’ll need to sign up for a Dolphin Connect account to store and sync that data.
The new Dolphin version will only be available on GetJar until this Sunday, October 23, according to ReadWriteWeb, so hurry on over for the app.

Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 9:24 AMGiven that Android is a Google product, why haven’t they ported Chrome over yet? Seems like that would be a no brainer. They’ve done it for FF although I’m still waiting for the Android purpose built version.

Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 12:58 PMDon’t quote me on this, but I was of the understanding Firefox for Android is a new purpose built browser – that shares it’s name with the desktop counterpart. Sure there’s compatibility between the two, but doesn’t mean they’re the same.
By the same respect, Google could have called their Android browser “Chrome for Android”; but it wouldn’t mean squat.

Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 2:38 PMThey are building an Android version of Firefox, and there is already a version that will run on it but not very well. I hadn’t thought about the stock browser being an Android version of Chrome though, if that’s what you were talking about?

Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 4:25 PMNo, that’s not what I was talking about at all.
My point was that Firefox Android is not merely a port from Firefox for Windows – it’s pretty much a brand new browser with the name “Firefox” on it – so use it as an argument as to why Chrome hasn’t been ported to Android is stupid.
