Chrome is more integrated.

 

However, I just use the standard Browser app that came with my phone.

Compatible with Windows 95

Chrome is the standard browser since Android 4.0. Never really used another browser.

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

At the moment I don't know of a better browser for Android than Chrome, especially if you use Chrome on your PC. Synchronized bookmarks, history etc. are very useful.

Dolphin had it's moments before Chrome, at the time of Android 2.1-2.3

Chrome is a lot faster.

Only thing that Dolphin offers is flash.

Faster in what way? Startup time or page loading? And also Chrome lacks tabbed browsing like Dolphin which is a let-down :(

I prefer the dolphin mini browser with KitKat 4.4.4. There's a glitch with the chrome that keeps flashing the page, forcing me to try the dolphin and I really like how simple and fast it is. I have no reason to turn back to the RAM-heavy chrome in comparison now.

Chrome is always my choice whenever possible. I feel it's the fastest and has integration with my computer.

I use Chrome most because it syncs all my data (bookmarks, passwords, and tabs from other devices) across all my devices. But I use Dolphin because it has support for Flash.

Only offers flash if you have the apk from Adobe's archives installed.

not sure what version of chrome you're using but it definitely supports tabbed browsing. On phones however you don't see the tabs until you hit the square number sign at the top right. On tablets the tabs are always present on the screen.

that's his point though, dolphin has tabs on top. Which is why I use it, wish it didn't auto-hide though.

One neat feature of the dolphin is that I can set my volume buttons to switch between tabs. Very helpful if you have huge fingers and accidentally closes your tab instead of switching them.
