Use Opera Mobile, not Opera Mini.

Moved to Android Apps

OK, firstly the default browser is actually not bad at all and it renders things better than Opera.

As for alternatives, there are quite a few!

Opera Mini which is very fast and syncs bookmarks with Opera on your PC but has difficulty rendering some sites.

Opera Mobile which is virtually identical to Mini except it is nearly 10x bigger and a hell of a lot slower but does at least load full web pages by default instead of always going to mobile versions.

Dolphin Browser | Dolphin Browser HD

Skyfire Browser which has the interesting ability to play flash videos without flash

Firefox Mobile

Fennec (aka Mobile Firefox)
Firefox is available for Android users. It is a good browser for android users.  :good:

xScope
check out this mobile web browser for Android. Original slider for management controls in the header, fast tabbed browsing, multifunctional zoom, bookmarking function – these are advantages of this software.  :good:

Androids which run Froyo (Android 2.2), such as the Nexus One & HTC Desire, have full Adobe flash support. The rest which are only older versions like the X10 on Eclair can only rely on Skyfire which converts flash videos for you on the fly, don't think it will work with games though.
