I liked the gnex browser better.
What's best for the one x? Chrome? But no flaah... What's the general concensus?

I like chrome better than the stock browser. Haven't tried dolphin since I had the iBoring. Might try it soon though

ive been using ics browser
havent tried chrome yet , cuz i forgot lol
i used to love opera browser, but they dont work that well with ics yet
I prefer to use chrome beta, but I keep the stock browser as default because for whatever reason when I click a link from the facebook app it won't work in chrome but it does work with stock.
Chrome... and what was that post about "certain" websites with flash? lol... pr0n?
Anyway, I also have always liked Opera to be honest. Funny, I only like it on Android haha. I'm thinking I'll likely use Chrome over Opera now that it's out, but the look of Opera is pretty nice with the black and it maximizes on space. Also many other nice features...Most of which I think Chrome beta has, but still. Nice browser and been fast for me too.
ICS browser +

Quick ics browser is my weapon of choice. Almost the same as ics browser + but you can adjust the threshold for the quick features.

ICS Browser + for me.
Oh, and does anyone know if Chrome (beta) transfers bookmarks over from the desktop version?

Yes, it will sync. You need to enable the sync of course on your phone. Then you also need to be signed in from your desktop browser. Go to the wrench and then "sign in" ... it says under the chrome beta on your mobile phone where to go. You need an app specific password I guess...It asked me for one so I made a new one.
Anyway, it worked and if you are then signed in on your desktop browser you can actually open the tabs you have open there on your phone!
However, it's a novel feature because of course it does not carry over any sessions. So right now I see this "reply to thread" page on my phone (it just synced) but if I open it on my One X, it asks me to sign in to XDA of course.
But most importantly, it will sync your bookmarks.
edit-- if you've never signed in before using chrome on your desktop, note that your browser might become themed. i thought the window chrome was messed up at first, but it ended up being a design element. i'm now trying to remove the theme...i don't like it and just want it basic windows color. (easy enough)
also note: if you develop web sites/apps locally ha, you might run into issues. it can't sync across the tab because it won't ever load on your phone of course. so on my desktop browser it now won't open my local web app. i turned off sync for tabs and only have it for bookmarks and autofill (under advanced in the settings up top next to your signed in account) but still no good. i may now have to sign out of chrome on the desktop just to build apps. that stinks.
Xscope browser for me.

I was frustrated too. Then I realized that I could clear the defaults. That worked.
Goto the Settings > Apps > Internet. Clear defaults.
This should set it to Chrome. Also you could change from App association

Dolphin HD. I used to use Chrome since it really screams, but it's just too buggy. I wish it wasn't since it even syncs with your desktop bookmarks. Hopefully it comes out of beta soon.
For myself personally I still thing that the Dolphin Mini is faster, more snappy and loads the pages way faster then Chrome Beta. Until google gets there's act together and makes the browser as snappy and less of a hog I'll just back and keep using Dolphin Mini.
Using ICS+.
Chrome and even the stock are good but I've been getting the occasional hiccup in both of those, no problems with ICS+ though. Also a very small amount of scrolling lag on Chrome too.
Anyone else running into the swype function on the default keyboard not working within Chrome? Specifically the address/search bar.

How do you make Chrome the default browser on HTC one S? I've looked around on settings, did not see anything...help?
Ever since the update to android 4.0.4, the browser doesn't close proper anymore. Before the update, when closing the last tab, the whole app would close. Now the app will remain open with one tab; the about:blank page. Does anyone know how to change this back? It's not convenient, because the app will remain running on the background. When reopening, the starting page I chose won't show up.
I hope someone recognizes this and can help me!

Yes, this annoys me too, but is the same behaviour with n7100 ... so I don't think that we could do anything about it, it was a design choice.
I havn't this problem on my SGN10.1 on 4.0.4 - closing last TAB = clůosing of browser. I have no adds in brower, so may be try to look this way.

You don't have to wait for the facebook home because it has been leaked from htc one rom and you can download it right away. It works fine on Nexus 4 but it seems like chat heads are not working.
Download link and more details here

Thanks for this.
I was using chrome beta, and it had the plus sign on the left of the address bar, after restoring my phone and redownloading chrome beta, the plus sign is gone, and I can't find it in chrome://flags
I have the same version on my nexus 4, and the button is there.
Does anyone know how to enable it?
