Is there any way to update the broswer from 2.3.3 to cm 2.3.7 ?
I am running the rooted stock 2.3 gb and I have alot of broswer problems. It will just close out for no reason, or if I get a phone call while on it it will end up going back 2 pages. So can I update it without upgrading the rom?
I would run cm rom but I hear there is problems with data, sd mount.
I tired a adb push but when rebooted it forceclose n wouldnt open but maybe I didnt do everything right or it cant be done.
Aby help u can give id be thankfull

Try extracting apk from .7 and replacing with rootexplorer, changing permissions.

Those are the worst 3 if you ask me ... Sometimes the best browsers aren't the ones with the most features. Try some more.
Personally, I like Boat Browser... there's a lighter version called Boat Browser Mini also. But again, there are LOTS you can try.

I totally disagree, dolphin is by far the best browser out there. Opera isn't far behind.

I love the mobile Firefox 4, it's nice to have everything since between pc's and phone so that you can continue whatever you were doing wherever you are.

I like using just straight up Dolphin or Dolphin HD, thing I don't like about Firefox 4 is that there's no flash
I've been using Dolphin HD Browsed since my nexus one days.
I Love It.
My search history and cache delete on exit, so my wife never knows I been looking at porn. LOL
in the stock browser you have to delete manually
Anyone use Skyfire?
Is it just me or do guys notice a pretty bad glitch when scrolling down web pages on the default browser? Just wondering if their is a way to fix that problem other then to use another browser like opera. Reason I ask is because I only use the default browser to pay online bills and that glitch while scrolling it's really annoying. Don't think it'll make a difference but I'm using infused 1.5.3
thanks.

IV had a few loading issues glitchy/laggy. But It may of been a network issue while loading. I use dolphin browser HD now seen less issues using it.

With the dolphin web browser can it give you the option to respond to web forums that aren't compatible with tapatalk I noticed opera mobile or mini can't do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
Testing from dolphin browser oh I guess it works nice guess this will be my default browser d from now on
If its the "checkering" you are talking about... All you have to do is let the page load all the way. This issue has been discussed already. The other browsers might do it less, but I like the stock one better.

There is a modified stock browser that you can use. And see if it fixes ur problem.

Here you go. It's slappyjoker's post. Download it, backup the original (I just rename it to Browser.apk.stock) and drop in the modified browser and you're set. Use root explorer to do all of these steps of course.

I personally don't use it much because I have opera as my default for its other capabilities. But there is quite a difference in the modified browser. Feel free to test it out, you can always revert back to stock.

Holy **** that hacked browser made a huge difference in performance. It didn't fix the checker problem but the performance pretty much trumps that issue for me.
Thanks a bunch for the heads up on that browser.

Yeah no problem. A lot better than stock. I'm glad I could help out

Hey guys I'm just wondering if Samsung ever released a fix for the stock browser lag.
I was thinking about getting the phone but this is holding me back.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Given that you seem to have an issue with any Samsung phone you have, regardless of how big or small the problem is, you're probably better off just not getting it, because even if the "browser lag" is fixed, you'll just find another thing to complain about.
Next he will be complaining about the lack of an LED and saying BLN is not a valid replacement.

No its not the phone. I had it before and returned it for same reason. But after hearing about update i wanted to try it again. If i use the opera mobile browser its perfect with no checkerboard and touch is very responsive. On the stock browser if i scroll it'll respond 2 sec after

No offense, but that is pretty sad if that is the "only" thing causing you to pack up the Charge. What do you like about the stock browser so much that you don't use an alternative anyway? If the problem doesn't exist for the other browsers, why not just use one of them? I can think of a handful of others that are much better than the stock browser anyway.
Seems like you are just trying to bash Samsung for no particular reason.
No im not bashing. I had it once before. And got rid of it for that reason. But i heard the lag was fixed. That why I ASKED IN THIS POST ..... The reason i like the stock browser is it handles alot of webpages better.... Format wise. Its just a taste. Trust i would rather be on a 4g phone.... The thunderbolt was just to big and heavy for me. So i went with the charge. Not bashing... Not meant that way.

Stock browser consumes extreme amounts of CPU.
Do not use
Not gonna bother reading the thread still gonna chime in through, the stock browser sucks but if you're asking about the glitch that was in all the DC reviews where flash froze the browser, then that has been fixed a long time ago.
Also, for browsers I'd suggest replacing stock with Dolphin HD(or Mini, uses less resources) or Opera.
so i followed the instructions giving but when i go to flash it, it said (cant install, bad zip). Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks

It's just a launcher you can restore/a different one (using adw ex, just because I'm accustomed to it)
Having used them both, with the exact same setup, 1.6 seems to open up my apps faster and I swear the graphics are better.
But you already know, it's all about preference.

Ok, I'm not one to plug an app but how the Hell is this browser this fast? Long story short, I started researching browsers today because Chrome is just terrible. And there was an article by pocket now comparing the top ten browsers. puffing crushed everything. So I figured what the heck, and wow. If you've heard of this already then you know I'm talking about but if you haven't, try it out. Interface will take some getting used to but well worth it in my opinion

How do you think this compares too boat browser?
Is there an adblocker included in puffin browser?
Checked it, damn, it's lagging so much.
For me the best is Dolphin and then Chrome Beta (after changing some flags it's fast as hell, but meh - Flash Player..)
