Dolphin is still going strong. I've been happily using its "lite" version on my old Android 2.2 phone until it (the phone, not the browser) completely broke.

- fencepost 9y agoYeah, I have it installed but haven't actually used it for much of anything in years. I suspect that part of the reason for its continued existence is the hope that one or more carriers in China, India or elsewhere will pick it up for an Android-based phone that doesn't include the Play store. When there was a possibility that Microsoft was actually going to pull off "Project Astoria" to let Android apps run in some way on Windows Phone, I was actually hoping that Dolphin (with very limited dependency on the Play ecosystem) would be one of the options and would become the de facto alternative to Edge on WP. Google certainly wasn't going to go there and I believe Mozilla had already expressed that they weren't planning on investing much if anything in WP, so Dolphin would potentially have been the one solid Webkit-based browser in the ecosystem.
