I have a xoom & some websites i go to like as far the scrolling & page rendering is horrific.My friend who has a dang ipad comes along & loads & scrolls through the same pages on his ipad with ease.Will ICS do anything for the browser?
Maybe any links to what the browser is capable of in ICS?
Check the development forum...ICS is amazing, and the browser is much faster now.

Pretty much this. I have noticed a big difference in page rendering on ICS. I won't go as far as to say it's revolutionary because I don't think HC was that bad, but it is definitely improved.
Some pages, like XDA forums, are particularly bad in the honeycomb browser. No such issue on ICS browser. This page renders and scrolls smoothly, just like many other.
Thanks for the replies. I just picked up the Asus Transformer Prime & the keyboard dock. I'm looking forward to ICS on this baby.

One major difference is the iPad is not loading the Adobe Flash content/ads. XDA is extremely bad because of all the ads it has embedded. My suggestion is (if your not using my ROM) is to get an ad blocker, pages will load much faster.

Like others have said, the ICS browser is much better at rendering and scrolling. The keyboard doesn't lag in the browser either. I have still had issues where links or new web pages will not load, which requires force stopping the browser.

The only other browser that I've used on ICS is the new Firefox. Firefox isn't as snappy as the ICS browser but doesn't seem to have the issues with links not opening. I'm also not a huge fan of the Firefox UI, so I tend to use the stock browser most of the time.
I find that setiing plug ins to "on demand" makes a big difference, the browser isn't trying to load all the flash stuff then. Mine is now pass able, still not as smooth as the ipad or ie9 in wp7 but I do have flash available which mostly makes up for the laggy performance.
definatly alot smoother.

I have a copy and paste app that just takes a long press to activate. Clip It works really well. There are quite a few free apps that do this...they are just resident and are available when you need them.

Hey guys,
I downloaded the Dolphin HD Browser last night (free version) to try it out on the X. The features of this browser are amazing and is easy to use but it has horrible lag. Anyone else experience the same problem as me? Or is this just how the program acts? I uninstalled the program because it was just that bad

Its due to all the extra goodies so its worth the few milliseconds of diff.

To be honest dolphin is the sh**
Don't mean to be a hater, but I didn't quite get it. I was always an Opera Mini fan on WinMo, so I quickly put it on my X, but it doesn't seem to support pinch to zoom.
I downloaded Dolphin, and while it does support PTZ, I don't quite see where it's better than the default browser.
I'm willing to listen though. Educate me.
Even with pinch and zoom, its not that good. With opera it formats the text so you can read it straight down with dolphin I had to keep scrooling left and right to keep reading. Opera in my opinion is the better choice.

Dolphin does that too. Opera Mini?? I guess if you like seeing only the text on a site.......
Dolphin is best becuase A: It hides the notification bar, B: you can swipe left or right to get to the adress bar instead of going all the way to the top of the page. and C: its generally better at rendering pages than the stock browser.
and I used to be the BIGGEST dolphin hater back in the day. It has come a reallllly long way since then. Tried Xscope but that thing while having alot of features was buggy to the max!
Wow...I guess I started on a very touchy subject for some of you . The load speeds on the browser itself are fine, it's just the menus that were lagging for me. I will give it another go after we get froyo on this thing.

Its something that modifies the Android framework, so it cannot be a regular app. It has to be cooked into the ROM by the developer in order to be used. It's also incredibly unstable and is renown for breaking root access while open. The kinks are being worked out...

Looks cool kinda would be sweet if you had the option to use say chrome or a different browser vs being stand alone browser?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the tip!
I just installed this app, and wow! I wasn't even sure I had any use for it, but after a couple minutes I was enjoying the heck out of it. I usually use the desktop view in my regular browser (Dolphin), so I'll just keep this one in mobile view and use it for quickly checking out links without switching away from Tweetdeck or whatever I'm in. In fact, it's awesome to be able to click a link, start that page loading, and then continue browsing through tweets or posts while the page/video/whatever is loading in the Overskreen window.
It's very smooth, too; almost too responsive, if that's possible. I'm impressed.
The one down side is lack of flash support in Android 2.x. However, 3.0 and 4.0 are supported, so that shouldn't be an issue for much longer. If I need to visit a flash site, I can just jump over to Dolphin anyway.

Thanks for letting us know about this, I installed it without knowing if it was something I would use but on first run I saw many benefits, especially on a large screen device like the Note.
I particularly liked the fact you can view YouTube vids full screen then scale the browser window to whatever size you want, then maybe have a cool tutorial video in the corner as you work on the app underneath!
It was a bit pricey but I think in this case it was worth it.
In case you forgot, you can run Google Chrome on your ICS device now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en). There are some goodies there which are not available in stock browser and you might like it better.
Agreed, it is smother than the stock browser, plus, you have all your chrome bookmarks automatically synchronized. Also, you can access the pages you have opened in other computers and devices (which is cool and scary at the same time).

It's by far the greatest advantage of Mobile Chrome... being reading something in my laptop, then leaving and continuing to read the same thing, effortlessly, is pretty cool.
Or if I run into a page some cool Android app while on my computer, instead of e-mailing the link, I just open Chrome Mobile, and there's the page.

Google's new Chrome web browser for Android will never get support for Adobe Flash, Ars Technica reports.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise, since Adobe previously stated that it was finished working on Flash for mobiles.
So effectively, mobile Flash is officially on the way out. Even though Adobe itself has given up on it, that hasn't stopped plenty of manufacturers from continuing to advertise Flash as a selling point for Android.
Ars Technica deftly points out:
When Google eventually moves to replace the default Android browser with Chrome in future versions of the Android platform, devices that run the operating system will likely no longer be able to play Flash content in the browser.

Last I read, Flash was going away. In favor of HTML5? So not everyone will be supporting it in the future.
I'm using Chrome Beta also. It's not 100% ready for prime time, but works pretty well so far. And the fact it syncs bookmarks with my home Chrome browser is HUGE for me.
But I wish it were easier to add mobile-only bookmarks. It's not super friendly in that area yet. I love Dolphin browsers home page where I can add quick bookmarks.
So OK, how is it that I can't find it on Play? Is it because I'm on superlite ICS and if so, is there a way I can trick Play to show me everything?
I tried Chrome and it is ok, but has handy features missing. I'll stick to stock, which has all my Chrome bookmarks synced to it anyway, it is super fast.

I've been using the standard Android browser on my G2x stock 2.3.4 and realize that I'm not the only one who thinks it stinks--too stuttery, too slow, whatever. And it's a general Android browser problem. Is there any alternative that's faster? I'm not interested in fancy interfaces, or whatever--just speed. I've prowled around and haven't found anybody really saying that Opera, Opera Mini, Dolphin, or Firefox, are faster--or that any of the others with weirder names are faster than the stock browser either. Lots of notes about interfaces, but little about speed.
Anything out there noticeably faster than the stock browser? Or are there any tricks to speed up the stock browser?

I've had my Nexus S for almost two years now. At first, I flashed probably every ROM that existed. After a few months I just wanted to use my phone. So I stuck with MIUI. I never really stood still by the performance of that ROM. When the Nexus 4 was announced, I wanted to upgrade at first. It wasn't (isn't) available, so I had to wait. In the meantime, I flashed another ROM (JellyShot) again for the first time in months. Again, I didn't really stand still by the performance. I used the Chrome browser, and browsing wasn't really smooth, but I thought: that's normal for a 2 year old phone.
Because of certain reasons I decided to skip the Nexus 4 and wait for the next Nexus. But if I was going to hold out for another year with my Nexus S, I needed the smoothest and fastest ROM/kernel there was. So I found Rasbeanjelly. Together with the Marmite kernel and the BM seeder tweak, my phone is blazing fast again. I use Smart Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree), a very basic launcher with a nice UI that uses very little RAM, and a very nice lockscreen theme from magiclocker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xvY2tlci50aGVtZS5wYWlkLmhhcm9uLkNpcmN1bGFyIl0.). With almost no effort I made my Nexus S look fresh, beautiful and fast again.
But let's get to the point. The biggest improvement I noticed was the browsing. For the first time in months, I used the stock browser again. I can tell you, there is a BIG difference compared to Chrome. Is it my ROM/kernel, or is the stock browser supposed to be so fast? And is there an even faster browser? If so, I would really like to try it.
Big fan of Naked Browser here. Fastest I've seen, simple, just works. The options are incredible and it starts instantly, just like the default browser.

Nah, I get it. If you're gonna stick with "as minimal as possible", you really have to stick with it. He even made the icon look terrible . Some layout for the bookmarks screen for example would help the user experience though. But I would rather have him focus on making it even smoother, or adding a feature that actually matters. If you use the Naked Browser, you obviously don't care about looks anyway.

Yeah, but minimal != ugly. Or not user friendly. One can make something minimal but still practical and great to see. That's my main gripe with it, but no other browser can rivalize with it's speed. Can't have everything for nothing!
