What is best internet browser?

Internet Explorer in WP7 is exactly what it is expected to be. It's slow, some sites get loaded broken, and I hate the default search engine set to Bing.

Anyone using another browser? Which is the best?

Are you using WP7 or WP7.5? I ask as the browser was updated with 7.5 and I believe is based on IE9. I have found it works very well for my use and I haven't had any sites load broken. Unfortunately, if you don't like using Bing, I don't think there is away around that with IE.

As far as I've been able to tell IE is the only browser available for WP7, now if you have a chevron7 unlocked phone, you might find a 3rd party browser somewhere, but I've not seen any in the marketplace. Also, the search button will always be Bing, however you can get the Google search tool, and pin it to you main screen, and use it instead of the default buttons.

I am using WP7.5, Bing really sucks in my opinion, I search for images a lot and half the time it gives me no results found. Currently am using Metro Web Browser, so far its good. Still comparing to see which is better. But the thing is all links will open by default in IE so I guess am stuck with it.

IE7/8 (it was 7 with some bits from 8) on Windows Phone 7 was a decent, smooth web browser that wasn't competitive enough because it lacked HTML5 support. IE9 on Windows Phone 7.5 has the same rendering engine as IE9 on the desktop. It has decent HTML5 support. Also, IE10 in Windows Phone 8 is going to be even better at stuff like HTML5, especially at JavaScript performance.
