The Dolphin web browser is taking a page out of the Google Chrome playbook with its latest release. Dolphin has offered a bookmark sync service for a while, but starting with Dolphin Browser 8.6 for Android you can also synchronize your history and open browser tabs across devices.

In other words, if you’re surfing the web on your tablet and need to switch to your phone, you can open the bookmark bar in Dolphin on your phone, tap the “Other Devices” button and see the tabs that were open on your tablet.

Dolphin Browser 8.6 also improves performance for pinch-to-zoom, Adobe Flash Player in fullscreen mode, and other features.

Unfortunately, the Dolphin team has confirmed that Adobe Flash performance is buggy on devices running Android 4.1 and later — but that’s because Adobe is dropping support for newer versions of Android and has little to do with this particular web browser.
