One of Dolphin's definitive differences in contrast to other browsers, is the Gesture feature for touch-screen. Gesture allows a quick jump to any website you may frequent with a symbol drawing or phrase. This feature can also be used for web navigation (such as drawing an arrow up or down to scroll on a webpage). Dolphin can also use voice control on the Android/Iphone to search, navigate, and share. Similar to voice control for Dolphin, the "Siri" voice control for the Iphone can perform web searches through Apple's Safari web browser.Dolphin also provides a sidebar widget to allow for quick touch-navigation and to use other add-ons. There is currently no version of Dolphin that supports use on a desktop or laptop, while Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome can all be used on mobile devices as well as desktop and laptops.
