Hello,
Has anyone noticed the stock browser randomly returning to the home page immediately upon loading another page?
It does if you open a new tab.

mine crashes without an error message and so I have to reopen and go all the way back to the page I was on, so I don't use the stock browser anymore. I use Dolphin's HD browser
Same here. I use Dolphin HD v7.0 (not the tablet version) and it works great Plus has add-ons for ad blocking, themes, translation and better bookmarking.
My stock browser closes itself sometimes, especially, the default homepage of ASUS, or complicated page.
I also want to use Dolphin, is it good?
I've just started using Opera Mobile browser and pretty impressed with the speed.
even typing this there's absolutely no lag.

I definitely have this problem. My browser is always going to google.com even after I type in a url. Any solutions?
I'm also having this problem, sometimes the browser just closes and I also have problems with re-directs. I hope these problems are fixed with ICS.
I recently got a tablet a month back and so, and when surfing i noticed the browser just shut down unexpectedly and was forced to restart the browser,
i changed to dolphin, and it was same on the browser,
this was on stock rom,
but on prime this was the same,
is there any solution for this?
Generally that would be expected if you read some of the browser related threads/rants here. A possible fix is to use Opera Mobile.
Desktop versions of Android Police and Google+ are examples of sites that can murder the stock browser. Opera handles both better.

I usually prefer to use Dolphin HD but I'm finding that it tends to have a bit of scrolling lag. So far the stock is pretty quick. Any other recommendations if you prefer to see 'desktop' versions of all sites?
ICS Browser+
Google Chrome.
Stock rom sucks, with the random reboots, and laggy browsing customs roms are way better. When they developed these stock roms they are not thinking about everyday use, I mean it took them forever to release ics, then they release an update a week after ics came out as if they didn't have enough time to work out the kinks...
I use Dolphin Browser HD on my phone, but on the tablet it's ICS Browser + all the way.
I use Opera and Chrome.
I keep stock as a back up and use chrome opera and dolphin HD
I have to admit though would be nice to have one browser that does all things nicely

I kinda like the ICS stock Browser. Its fast and so far havnt given me any issues.
It does the job and does it above average for my needs.
Stock browser handles almost everything I need, unless I need to pull up a quick search with another app in my active window, then I keep overskreen in my recent apps list and pull it up on top of what I am working on.
I use the stock ICS browser. I used to use only Dolphin-browser before I got my tablet but with the news of Dolphin-browser sending all our searches to some server and tracking them I uninstalled it. I line the ICS stock browser. It works and does everything I need it to.
And like stated above me, if I need to do something quickly in an app I'll use overskreen which I love!

Chrome doesn't even feel like a beta but even though flash is dead I miss it on chrome.

Do you like the stock ICS browser?
I like it but I prefer Dolphin browser. Dolphin is more faster and it have a lot of options to navigate the web more comfortable. Right now I'm trying Google Chrome Beta for ICS. Unfortunately Google Chrome runs only on ICS ROM's, but this browser it's pretty, simple, very fast and can synchronize all your bookmarks, history, passwords and more with your desktop Google Chrome with an easy way.
Stock ICS browser because i use stock browser on my phone and chrome on my PC. I have my bookmarks synced across all 3 devices. I'm not a big fan of having two or more apps installed that does the same thing. I tested out chrome for ICS, which was nice, but no flash and is very laggy when scrolling. The web as a whole is far from ready to completely ditch flash just yet. While i was testing chrome, i came to realize how much of a problem this is. So when chrome is at a stable build and has flash support, then it will become my only browser. But for now, its stock iCS browser.
I have been using Dolphin for as long as I have had an Android phone. Now, I like the stock browser on my TF much better and actually started using it on my AOKP-build phone too.
Question: You can use Dolphin to pull your bookmarks from your stock browser, but is there away to pull the bm's from Dolphin TO the stock browser. Like I said above, I have been using Dolphon for a long time and always either disabled or deleted the stock browser, until now. So I have compiled a fair amount of bookmarks and really don't want to key them in manually.
For people who likes to work with keyboard shortcuts and happen to own a Keyboard dock like me, Stock ICS browser is a must! The ability to do almost anything with keyboard shortcuts is unreplaceable to me. Other browsers that I tried doesn't give me that ability, so it's an easy choice for me.
Other than that, the speed is pretty amazing too. Faster than Dolphin + Chrome imo (well, just my own observation, I know other ppl see different results).
The only downside is the ability to choose Browser Agent, but somehow I manage to get Desktop mode on most of my visit sites.
Bookmarks is also sync-ed well with Chrome for desktop after being refreshed in Chrome for android.
Stock 4 all without flash. Chrome or Opera 4 flash..

I'm very disappointed for not to be able to choose the browser agent anymore! Quite a few of the sites I visit force me their mobile version and even choosing from the menu to see the computer version it doesn't work. Some sites give the possibility to change to a normal view somewhere far away down on the page, but not all. It's very frustrating.
Also since a couple of days the videos in the browser are lagging or do not show at all. I wonder what is happening? Under honeycomb I never had these issues.
Otherwise I've been quite happy with the stock browser and use Dolphin HD just for some special needs (like changing a web-page to a PDF when I need to keep it for further usage, very practical!).
I have a TF101 B50 series with ICS 4.0.3. in WW-version

Thats why ICS Browser+ exists. Its basically a stock browser with user agent options and a few more refinements.

I tried ICS Browser+ yesterday... It worked quite good although slower than the stock.
... But after 5min it stopped loading pages, and I still havnt been able to get it load pages again (although I didnt spend much energy on it).
Stock browser works like a charm still.
Right now its a toss up for me. Browser + has ua options, but stock has the thumb scroller...
I'm running the stable CM9.1 ROM (build date: Tue Aug 28 2012) and when using the included web browser, clicking on links prompts new tabs every time. Regular surfing yields dozens of unneccessary tabs, with re-directs and new links. I've reset all settings to default several times, but I still keep running into this problem. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I've overlooked? It just started happening recently for me.
Obviously, I could use another browser like Chrome or Dolphin, but I want to figure out why this is happening.

I use Dolphin Browser, without problem, and you can check this choice on settings.

Since I've moved to big part, I've tried several distributions: first CM , then EOS and now I'm on Omni. In all distributions the browser will crash at some point, no matter which browser. Dolphin wouldn't even start on CM and EOS, and the others I've tried (stock, chrome, chrome beta, firefox and opera) would get stuck after browsing some pages or opening several tabs.
I wonder if they all use parts of the same android libraries and whether these are impacted by bigpart.
Has someone else noticed this and possibly found a browser that does work?
