I use Opera Mini, as the Android version I have can't be updated.

i use Opera too...the easiest to configure...

Might be easy to configure, but I would prefer to use either Chrome or Firefox, if I had the chance.

I use Boat Browser because Opera Classic isn't working correctly on 2048x1536 screen.

What phone do you have?

Since you can install chrome, I assume you are using ICS or higher. Do you have the default android browser or your OEM removed it? Because I keep coming back to the default browser after trying any other browser :D

Only reason why, I don't use the default browser is that it has no tabs. :-/

I found default browser as the most stable one but not too appealing so I try other options and always come back to default browser (usually after few crashes )

Yes, I'm sure, ha. Can't take a screenshot either because the phone doesn't support that. If the default browser had tabs I would use it.

What? Tabbed browsing has been on the default browser since Android 2.3 GB! Private browsing has been since Android 4.0 ICS I guess. I don't think there is any difference between ICS and Jelly bean browser (maybe quick controls?). Anyway here is a screenshot of the default browser tabbed browsing on my JB 4.1:

@McLovin: Why don't you flash a custom ROM on your HTC :D

As you have discovered older devices cannot upgrade to new Android software releases.

souhrid, What Phone and Android version do you use? :D

I used to use Opera Mobile/Mini on Symbian device (2010-2013), yes it supported tabbed browsing. But now I've upgrade to another phone, I need not to worry what browser I use (still got tabbed browsing).
