Javascript making some website to stutter - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have experienced some extreme stutter on some website because of Javascript poor implementation in the stock browser (and also in every Webkit browser like Dolphin HD)
for example accessing the next website (which is a very familiar website and works great on my PC has this issues): http://www.techradar.com/
As soon as I disable JS in the browser settings the scrolling start working great as usuall.
I have also ran Javascript Sunspider test and received a result of 2246ms where in my PC I have received a result of 296ms!
Does anybody else also has this issue and maybe knows how to solve it?
Thank you.

I have not tried this but using Opera may help. They have always been know for having a fast JS engine on the PC anyway.

JS has been known to cause problems with the browsers, it was the reason why they would randomly exit (not FC, just exit). I was extremely surprised to see how much faster web browsing was with JS disabled in Dolphin, but sadly we need it for most websites and there's no way around it that I'm aware of.

I have to say that when I did check the same websites in Opera I didnt experienced any stuttering so I guess that JS issues could be solved one day.
The problem is that I find Opera inferior when comparing it to Dolphin for Pad or when comparing it even to the stock browser.
Wish I could find an all-in-one browser which just would work good and I would not have to switch between browsers when opening particular websites

Maybe once firefox fully release thier android browser?
Also if you end up using Dolphin try out the Dolphin for Pad beta. It is the dolphin hd browser but made for tablets. Some people are saying it runs better than the dolphin hd so maybe it is made for tegra devices.

Firefox just looks bad. Its picture rendering abilities is awful.
I am currently using Dolphin for Pad and its a great browser but its based on the same Webkit engine so the same JS problems are still there.
Anyway I have found a way to quickly switch between browsers which helps a little. There is an app in the market called "Browser Switch" - so you can configure that when you click on share in Dolphin for Pad and choose browser switch it immediately opens opera(which does not has Webkit's JS issues) with the requested URL

You think that site is bad...try some Gizmodo's. You can switch to blog view on the main page, but if you click on to another link it reverts to their top story format.silly tablet barely works.

Opera Mobile 11...good

This browser is definitely better than default browser. Fast, flash support, and it gets 100% on acid3 ( http://acid3.acidtests.org ) test.
Finally, I found a right browser for Galaxy Tab.
I have to agree for the most part. Its definitely much faster and smoother than anything else I've tried. I would classify it as the best if they would implement an exit button and different fonts.

Have just encounter one wiki page that became realy screwed up. But i justed used the stock browser to read on it.
It crashes every time I try to play a streaming Flash game from mlb.com which is a real shame considering it looks very nice in every other aspect and it very responsive.

For people using Dolphin HD, how does it compare to Opera? I've just gotten used to Dolphin and I would prefer not to have to learn the interface of a new browser...
Tried Miren and Skyfire and didn't like them, but may want to give Opera a try.

Dolphin HD was my primary browser, but now Opera Mobile is. The changes are significant but very welcome and easy to get used to. In fact it enhances the experience in my opinion, but there are issues. For one, it needs an exit button and there are some strange font issues when playing flash video. It also needs a way to import and export bookmarks. Even after those shortcomings, browsing is quite fast and very enjoyable. But this is just my opinion. It costs you nothing to try this out so give it a shot. You might like what you see.....or not.
I would highly recommend Firefox mobile (Version 4)
It supports all of the above and has multiple-language support (such as Arabic/Hebrew and other non-latin RTL characters) and one of my favourite features is that it keeps all of your settings, your bookmarks and even your open tabs synced with your desktop or anywhere else you're running Firefox v4

It doesn't support flash yet so that's a deal breaker for me. I'll revisit it when flash works. Hopefully it will become as good as the desktop version.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
I tried Firefox 4 as well, because I like it.. In principle. The result after synchronizing everything was that it took more than 1.6GB (reported by the OS in My Apps). I then unchecked history sync, and it came back to a few megabytes over (aka around 86MB), but it then stopped bringing my bookmarks over from the desktop. It's also rather slow in operation (compared to it, Opera is blazing fast).
That said, I'm looking forward to the next release, so far it has been going in the right direction. JavaScript performance in Firefox is stellar, the real speed problem is with page rendering, but it has been getting better. It's still a decent browser though, and it compares well to the stock one (juuuuuuust a bit slower, but with add-ons and lots of goodies)

Opera called that Opera link. Syncs bookmarks, notes, quick dial. Open tabs... nope, but that would've been a deal breaker for me since on the desktop version I usually need at least 500 mb just to open Opera lol. It's a feature that's been there for quite a long time now.

Was using Dolphin HD too, but I just tried Opera Mobile 11 and I kinda love it. And it's free!
I am still sticking with skyfire. Fast, supports flash. Opera performs poorly on symbian mobile.
I've found Opera to run silky smooth on my tab, except for youtube. They look absolutely terrible, stuck in ultra low res mode or something. Only flaw with the browser.
Annoying as hell regardless.

Which browser do you use?

[Q] Better Web Browser
I'm looking for a web browser for my TF that views pages in actual web form, not as mobile pages.
I think with a screen this size it should be possible, right?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Skyfire has a desktop mode.

I use Dolphin, can set user-agent to Desktop.
Some people have suggested Dolphin HD as good replacement for the stock browser. I'm just not clear about your problem? My stock browser displays the webpages as my PC browser would. You can check Settings|Advanced and User agent string.
Hope this helps,

I'm using Dolphin HD and like it better than the stock one.

I guess maybe I'm missing some steps, or haven't tried a few of them that you've mentioned. Just noticed that in my firefox browser (and also the stock browser) all of the pages (MSN, Facebook) are showing up in their mobile forms.
I'll try a couple of those you mentioned and see if I can find them...Thanks!

Dolphin HD
This should be a poll
If you get ADW EX you can adjust the standard (useless) browser widget to 2 columns by 7 rows (looks a lot better), then when you first click on a thumbnail it asks you which browser you wish to use, click your preffered item then you have a custon full size browser of choice widget.
Lately I have been experimenting with different browsers because I am not happy with the stock browser on Honeycomb because it seems to have a lot of issues and slow performance when rendering. I know that a lot of people have been recommending Dolphin Browser HD, and I have tried that alongside Mozilla Firefox. Which browser is everyone else using on their Transformer and how do you like it?
The thing I miss most about the stock browser is the sync with your google chrome bookmarks, so if anyone can suggest how to get that to work with Dolphin Browser or Mozilla, I would appreciate it. Mozilla seems to have the best rendering speed out of the two, however, Dolphin seems to have more features and a better overall interface. Both Dolphin and the stock browser have problems rendering this forum, but Mozilla seems to do it with ease. However, it doesn't seem as though Mozilla is proportioned right for Tablet use yet.
I guess each of the has their positives and negatives, which is why I want to see what everyone else is using and their thoughts.
I use all of them because I don't like any of them. Every one has some problems. The best is probably the stock one, but it doesn't have adblock and when I turn on flash some pages turn into literally hell because of ads. Firefox on the other hand is fast but has very few options and scales images very poorly (this forum looks ugly on it for example). Opera is strange (especcialy the tabs are strange). Dolphin looks like a bloatware.
I hope to see full desktop browser on Android some time. With extensions and such (Firefox mobile extensions are laughable, even adblock doesn't have any options).
to me the stock browser seems more and more like chrome...is it just me?
All Android browsers are really inferior... Right now I go back and forth between stock and Firefox... Don't like either...
stock is as fluid as it gets
I tried Dolphin... but to be frank, it definitely does seem like bloatware. Its overall pretty awful. I keep it installed just because I use it for some websites that the stock one doesn't work properly. But thats rare. And I don't care for it.
People keep saying that Dolphin is "optimised for honeycomb" but I really don't think so. If it were, it'd run a crap ton better.
I use stock. It doesnt always work perfect, and it has its flaws for sure, but its pretty darn fluid, the tabs work great, and its just a clean looking browser.
Stock for browsing and firefox for downloading .zip files
would prefer opera as its my desktop browser of choice but its just terrible atm on android
re browser's
I,d really like to like the stock browser, or dolphin (my usual favourite), but the opera mobile seems currently the only one that has that ipad floaty feel to scrolling. Why cant the others do this?
Dolphin hd beta 5 is awesome
Firefox with adblock is sweet. For watching Flash websites, I use stock or dolphin hd. I like opera too. I guess I will be using all of them as I see fit. That's what I like about android.

Most desktop like browser??

So i have find he stock browser, skyfire, dolphin, and xscope all installed
and i cant find one that works really well for all pages, like a desktop browser.
what do you all use for your web browsing?
i use the dock, and the typing in web forums is pretty laggy i dont know if this is a browser, or dock issue though...
my default right now is dolphin, but skyfire seems to handle more complex pages better
Havd you tried firefox?

I had the same problem.
The only browser that can load my university website and about a dozen other pages that I frequent is Opera Mobile.
The other ones all have big gaps in pages, won't download files and pages look messed up -- even Firefox.
I haven't tried Skyfire, but I tried all the others mentioned.
Have you tried changing the user agent to desktop in the stock browser (in settings)? Web pages always show up exactly as they should for me with this setting.
Lag in the browser is honeycomb specific ..happens on xoom and galaxy tab as well

Opera mobile have desktop like experience and overall very good browser
i have stock and maxthon installed and i use always the stock. Dispite the lag works pretty nice even for watching football transmissions.
I too don't really like any of the browsers, keep going back and forth when one does something that pisses me off I switch to another for awhile. I currently got Firefox, Dolphin HD, Opera, Maxthon installed and they all suck at different things. Overall the web browsing experience is pretty ****ty compared to ipad even without the flash, it's just so damn slow and laggy. Wish they'd bring out Atomic Web and Mercury browsers to Android, those both rock especially Mercury on the ipad.
anyone tried Dolphin for Pad? Its quite good! Replaced Opera with it!
I like Dolphin so far.
is this different than dolphin HD 6.0?

Since today I've upgraded from Dolphin HD browser to Dolphin for Pad. This new version was released yesterday and I like it very much! Since I already was a Dolphin user, this browser is even better dan the old one.
What's different in Dolphin for Pad?
It seems to work ok but I dont seem to have the "button" for gestures.....or am I missing something. Also how do you get quickly to the history without going through settings ?

In my opinion there is no a definite browser at this moment.
- No one has ad block but firefox.
- No one is able to upload files but Opera.
- No one has a private mode but stock browser.
- Opera is slow when showing pages already loaded in cache and it does not render pages until fully loaded.
- Firefox has an horrible square patron when scrolling. I don't understand why. And image scaling is quite bad. And don't support flash.
- Stock browser and Dolphin render quite fast as pages are loaded and perhaps are more balanced...
So at the end of the day I use firefox for regular browsing (due to adblock and a better tabs management in my opinion), opera when I have to upload something, for example torrent files to my transmission server, and stock one if I have to use private mode (specially if I have to access hacking and or scene blogs)...

Tap the arrow, top right side than do your gesture. I had to ask too and another member showed me.

Which browser is the best browser, in your opinion?

I personally think opera mobile (the newest version) is the best one out there. Absolutely zero lag. Compatible with everything I throw at it. I don't understand why people insist on hating it or not using it. It's the best one out there.
I like Opera but there are some things that bug me:
- Google always shows up in mobile view, its annoying to have to always scroll down to click classic.
- The tabs system is slow, I prefer the way the stock browser has them
- You cant always go back to the start page, most of the time you have to open a new tab instead of being able to use the speed dial.
The new Dolphin HD is nice but I don't like not having back and forward buttons, and that you have to scroll back to the top of the page to type in a URL. In the stock browser all you have to do is click the tab and the buttons show.
I don't like the blocks that happen in the stock browser when scrolling, but I really love the quick controls. It generally seems less buggy than the other browsers as well.
Opera actually almost is the best browser but on some pages they never load fully & on some pages even with flash enabled some things show up as a big arrow that would play just fine on Dolphin Hd.Opera is the only browser i can check my gmail just as i could on my desktop..Dolphin HD is lacking there.Opera needs another update to fix the bugs.Lastly why on earth does everything load on Opera halfway (for instance pictures).If you hold on the pic it will give you the option to "Reload image in full quality" !!! Wtf..how about loading that way in the first place lol...I'll stick with Dolphin Hd for now.

Look like you have Opera Turbo enabled, which means that Opera loads the pages though a proxy server which compresses pages for faster loading over slow connections. This will speedup your loading over slow connections, but if you've got a fast connection you should not use it.
You can disable Opera Turbo in the settings.
I find the Dolphin for Pad browser very good:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.pad&feature=search_result
None
The day I can go to vimeo.com or youtube.com and play an HD 720p video without having to maximize the screen (without ANY stutter) is the day I'll name a best browser. As it stands, none to me are the best. They all have flaws with flash.
Argh nevermind the part about "reload image in full quality ".I see what it is now lol.Dolphin for pad needs an update bad!!!

I like dolphin for pad. Opera is not bad, but for me it's a bit slow to start showing the site, and some site I use quite a lot has a little bug in the render. Also, I don't like the tab system.
You can go to the top in Dolphin HD by using the gesture button on the bottom left. Just make an upside down V and it'll bring you right up.
All the browsers need to add some better swipe gestures however...like Atomic Browser for ios. It has 2 Finger swipe left or right to switch between tabs or 3 finger touch to maximize screen. They're customizable as well.
Goodintentions why dont you put a poll on this thread of the top ten browsers?
Opera
dolphin
skyfire
miren
uc

I have to say opera mobile hands down. Not to be confused with opera mini. They are 2 different browsers...especially in terms of performance. But yes, opera mobile is an absolutely fantastic browser both on my nexus s and transformer. Blows every other browser out the water. Very fast UI. Very smooth scrolling and zooming. Flash content etc. It must have deep gpu / hardware acceleration i think. It behaves like a dream. What every browser should be.

It does, and it's the only browser to do so (which is why scrolling is silky smooth on Opera and crap on everything else). Even the stock Android browser doesn't have it yet...
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2370756,00.asp#fbid=7tE7TmefXx2
The browser will be available for all versions of the Android OS. New features in this version of Opera Mobile include hardware acceleration and pinch-to-zoom. According to the company, hardware acceleration leverages the power of the mobile phone to allow for increased speed, faster navigation, and more fluid interaction with the phone. It also makes possible full pinch-to-zoom functionality for all sites.

I do have it set to the desktop user agent, and Opera does the same thing on my phone. Typing a search in the URL or search bar always brings up the mobile version. I have gone through and changed the user agent in the about:config page without any luck either.

Spoken like a true ipad user. Complain rather than try to find a solution.
The search bar is a mobile search bar, yes. Would it kill you to not use it? Just put google homepage (the desktop one) in your favorite and go there whenever you want to search for something.
Many of us have already written to opera about this. I'm confident they will fix this in upcoming updates.
To me, this is one drawback that is easily avoidable. With built in hw acceleration and functions... screw it.
Just don't use opera at all. If you prefer the lagginess of other browsers, be my guess. Don't ever try to go around anything. Just complain.

Excuse me? Im complaining because I don't like a bug that lots of other people have reported? Ive tried every "solution" in the book to try and fix it but none work. I like Opera and have been using it for a year but it doesn't mean the mobile bug is any less irritating.

Already told you the solution. Its the same one I use. Just put Google homepage in favorite and go there when you want to search. How hard can it be?
I use the stock browser because it provides what I want (tabs, chrome bookmark sync) and performs reasonably enough for browsing; I still remember surfing at 3.4K/s .
Opera is what I use on my phone because it seriously kicks the Froyo stock browser to timbucktu on performance. I do think Opera Mobile's UI is much better suited to a tablet than the HC stock though.
Opera mobile is indeed faster and smoother in terms of scrolling compared to all the other browsers. UI response is also very quick. However, Opera has serious issues with Flash. Opera would crash on my TF for some flash content and flash videos are really slow to load and would stutter while Dolphin HD and even stock would play much smoother.
I like Opera, its my usual web browsing browser. But if I need flash content, I switch to Dolphin HD.

Is UC the only browser that runs smooth on M7

After been trying most browsers for Android, my findings is that UC is really the only browser that takes good advantage of the weak GPU on mate 7. It is the only browser that runs smooth with flawless scrolling and pinch to zoom.. On all other browser there is visible stutter.
My conclusion is that if it wasn't for UC the mate 7 would had been a much more unsatisfying experience since my allergy to laggy browsing.
Try mercury browser.
Has ad block and runs smoothly.
With uc in desktop mode I found links were not clicking when pressing them like it was not using digitizer correctly.
No issues with native and mercury.
Edit: tried uc browser hd definitely is faster but same issue links not clickable in desktop mode. Have emailed them hopefully they fix it.
Have not tried HD version because it is made for tablet devices only not phones.

The hd version is very clean and contemporary and I am liking it in desktop mode.
The issue is with www.gsmarena.com in desktop mode links of news stories don't click for some reason. Could be the ad block is shifting the links not sure hopefully they fix it cause it's a very clean browser.
Uc is best and mercury browser is also good but UC is only best I find next is chrome and next is firefox
Scrolling and pinch to zoom is superior on UC browser. Rendering is not fastest but on heavy sites with a lot of ads UC Is typically faster. UC gui is much faster especially the super fast loading of previously loaded pages which is very useful. CM BROWSER have superior rendering time non-heavy and mobile optimized sites and not good for videos. Cm browser have slow scroll and zoom and mate 7.
Thanks for recommending UC Browser HD. I was look for a better browser and this looks great, it has a smaller ui than most browsers which is needed on such a big screen. I've not had any problems clicking links in desktop mode either.

I dl'd UC just to see the diff in speed between it and Chrome beta... and the way it loads in, its much slower for a full page load, than chrome or opera is. And the zoom in out isn't noticeably smoother, unless you zoom pinch zoom in and out like crazy, but who browses web pages like that lol. So not seeing any advantages to using it. Privacy not an issue, until your employer or bank buys a history report on you from a third party, that has browsing history and web habits bundled... then its a big issue.

Opera has recently gone over to chromium on opera android platform since it is now open source for Android now. I was surprised how was opera has become totally superior or UC browser it is also faster then chrome because of less Google Bull**** under the hood.
