Android users ought to just avoid the Android browser and use Chrome or Dolphin. I don't even understand why there is an Android browser. Android browser also has trouble with updating SSL cert authority information, and it's got issues with its touch implementation.

Android users on Android 2.3 can't use Chrome and Dolphin uses the native browser engine. I think Firefox Mobile would be your only option, but the performance has to be awful.

Dolphin switched to its own browser engine, at least on Android.

I figured it existed so device manufacturers and wireless providers would have something to crap all over, which wasn't Chrome.

I think it predated Chrome.
