Basically yes... chrome and dolphin are two of the best browsers.
HTC still have their own stock browser which I actually prefer over chrome, but its just preference more than anything else.
You can try opera, and Firefox for android too.

Which is best is a purely subjective opinion. You'd be best off downloading the most popular of them and giving each a try.
Boat Browser...hands down. It's the most configurable, has the best full screen mode (it will automatically go full screen when you turn the device into landscape mode), and the best tabbed browsing experience I've ever used.
I'm on the GS3. Firefox beta is what I use. The regular Firefox is pretty slow, but the Firefox beta is near flawless. I also use Easybrowser and the default browser (which isn't bad at all) sometimes.
Never heard of Boat browser. Will check it out.

I didn't realize there was a Firefox beta. I may have to check that put myself. But yeah, I've tried almost everyone out there and Boat Browser has always been my favorite.
I use Chrome most of the time and Opera works well too. Skyfire worked well too. Havent tried Firefox in a while and at that time i didnt care for it.

I have Chrome, Dolphin, Opera Mini and the stock browser on my phone. Right now, I pretty much use Chrome exclusively.
So do I. Well, the chrome beta actually. I like having tabs synched on all my devices. I suppose Dolphin is a bit faster but I can't really tell. I tried that Dolphin jetpack thing and it didn't load certain pages.

Guess it depends on what you use on your computer and other devices, and if you want sync across them. I use Firefox Beta on my Nexus 4 and 7 and love it.
It also supports Flash, has a great Speed dialer and a free powerful password manager add-in.
A great all-round browser that is easy to use and fast.
Firefox is very nice imo. I use Firefox nightly for my desktop browser and having instant sync of my bookmarks, passwords, tabs, etc is priceless.
The best browser is the CM10 browser...though it's fairly difficult to get it to work on other ROMs since it's not a simply copy/paste to /system/apps. Otherwise, there's ICS Browser from the Play Store which doesn't work on Jelly Bean. Then finally, there is everything else.
FireFox Beta is what I use if I'm not running an AOSP ROM.

The stock TouchWiz browser isn't too bad....but it ain't good either.
