Recently I've been having an issue with Dolphin browser. I have a Verizon Galaxy S III running stock/rooted.
Sometimes when I long click on a link and then choose open in background, nothing happens. The tab doesn't open/no new tab is created. Maybe it happens 10% of the time. Sometimes I can try the same link 3 times in a row and it doesn't open. I'm sure I'm clicking on the link and then clicking open in background. I'm very careful now that I know of this issue.
The way I sometimes like to browse a forum like this is maybe I open 10 threads in the background and then go through them 1 at a time. If I don't peak at the tab bar after each I open each tab, I may never know that one of the links never opened a new tab. This is definitely a pain.
While Dolphin support was responsive, they were unable to replicate the problem.
Can anyone else replicate this? Just open a forum like this, open 10 or 20 threads in a row in the background and then count and see if that many tabs opened up.
This happens to me too. At random webpages though.
I open them in either backround or in new tab but nothing happens. Afterwards, all these tabs open at once and then Dolphin crashes.
Agreed, this does happen like 90% of the time.
I get the same issue too. I've never really knew why it happened. They never open for me all at once though.
What phones do you all have?
Actually, I tested this out with Boat browser yesterday and I get the same results. That leads me to think maybe it's a Galaxy S III thing or an ICS thing. Don't really know.
Do you get the same thing if you try with Boat browser (or some other browser)?
This is strange.
I was almost expecting this to be an issue with just my phone.
I get the exact same problems. I surf like the original poster, opening 6 or more tabs in the back ground. But when I go to look through them only 2 or 3 actually opened. I have tested it numerous times and it is easy to replicate. It happens almost 50% of the time. It just recently started after "upgrading" to ICS.
MOTORALA droid razr maxx
Dolphin 8.7 browser
Recent ics upgraded android system
I have had the same issue in the past, which is why when I switched to jelly bean I changed my default browser to chrome.
Dolphin would do this probably 25% of the time. It has always happened on my galaxy nexus, so perhaps it is an issue with ics and above. Never had any issues on my og droid when I was on CM7.

Same here on galaxy note custom ics
Wow, never thought I'd have this kind of response. Surprising no one has ever noted this before then.
So, what's in common here? ICS? Someone in here said it happens on JB too though, I think.
Same here.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus toro. Happens on reddit quite a bit.
+1 for me. Happens all the time it's quite frustrating since I want to follow up on multiple links in a page only to find out some didn't open.

I know I started this thread as a dolphin issue, but, for all of you experiencing this, can you replicate the same thing in other browsers?
We really need to find out a common link here.
Using a Nexus S.
Is Boat browser using the integrated browser rendering engine? Doplhin is, and I don't know why but I feel like that might be a reason.
make sure your version of dolphin browser is updating. sometimes auto-update fails.

I can't update my dolphin, if I do I lose flash support. The newer versions make me turn flash off since I am on jb, even though it works perfectly fine.

That doesn't change anything. Mine is updated and the problem is still there. It's been there forever really.
Edit: And flash works even with the latest Dolphin. I got the latest flash (v115.12) + Dolphin 8.7.0 and all is good. On CM10 Jellybro

I just updated my dolphin to 8.7.0, and I get this on startup:
And it shuts flash off. Every time I try to turn it back on it gives me that message again. I have to revert to 8.5.1 to get it to let me use flash.

What can I say, I'm too cool for rules!
I went in the default browser and disabled plugins to make it work.
No way. NO WAY. Disabling plugins in default browser actually worked! This has been so annoying! Still occurs with google images search, but much improved. (I'm using motorola XOOM)
If anyone else is having trouble still, just try this: long press a link to open the little menu and hold down on 'open in new tab' instead of just a quick tap. This usually works for me (although a real solution would be great).

What? Are you saying that you went in to your stock browser and set plugins to disabled and after that, you no longer have this tab opening issue in dolphin?

Much as I love the stock browser on Honeycomb (especially the bookmark sync), it has become incredibly laggy in places, especially entering into text fields on forums etc. I tried most of the other browsers on the market, and at the moment the new Dolphin HD beta is working the best for me. You can find it here:
http://home.dolphin-browser.com/tunny/Download.htm
Pages load quickly, scrolling is smoother, text entry less painful. What browsers are other people out there using? Is stock working OK for you or are you using another one? Would love to find the best browser for android tablets.
I use dolphin on my desire HD,and have a epad on order, is there a tablet version or do you use the same one as for phones

I believe it's the same one, I don't use Dolphin on my Desire so I'm not completely sure but the download page doesn't seem to distinguish between phone and tablet.

Works good as long as you don't try to edit the favourites bar, it crashes
Yeah crashes a fair bit. I've not found a browser yet which works properly with the XDA site. It's strangely laggy, and virtually unusable via the eee pad.
android has always had problems with some forums, xda and androidforums for example :/
I had been using Dolphin HD browser, as the stock browser is a bit flakey with mobile view even using the about:debug.
I've since switched to Firefox 4 with the phony add on. Works great. Only drawback on that one is Flash isn't working yet.
It's not the browser that's causing the input lag, it's the ASUS keyboard. Swap it for the stock Android one and you'll see the difference straight away.
incorrect.. laggy whatever keyboard used.. I've tried it with Asus, stock android, Flext9 by nuance and Thumb Keyboard.. all laggy.. viewing and posting using Firefox with the same keyboards is much better
This was posted in another thread but I'll put it here too. If you want to stop the lag for the XDA forums then change the style option bottom left of the page to 'classic' instead of 'XDA 2010'. Seems to run fine in any browser then.
I've gone back to the HC keyboard with the stock browser now after trying out Dolphin HD. It's got its faults but works well most the time.
I'm using firefox because it has a sessionsaver... all of them crash occasionally.
Sure I read some where if you use dolphin and contact the developer they will send you the apk file for the tablet version of dolphin HD

Yeah that was me, but it doesn't work anyway; As soon as you try to edit the bookmarks it crashes
Opera mobile
I heard opera browser is one of the best browsers for the EPTD, there's a you tube video showing it silk smooth on the galaxy tab 10.1v like ipad 2 performance, no lag at all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdGRa_QvyF0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
I'm using the Dolphin HD browser and after a few niggles re. bookmarks I am now really enjoying using it. No crashes or lags. Really like using the different gestures which can be modified to whatever you want. e.g. draw a letter "B" (roughly) to get bookmarks bar. Plus a lot of different add-ons and themes. Deffo my no. 1 browser at moment.
can you set the stock browser to desktop view?

so far for me Opera has been working with only a few images having problems. might be worth your while to give it a try.
How do you change the stock browser to desktop view? I've entered debug mode but found no option. same thing with firefox. I've only been able to run dolphin in desktop view so far.

Sorry if this is a bad place to post this question.
With Android 4.4 they have changed the default webview to chromium and now the default browser does not reflow on zoom. I have also tested other browsers based on the internal webview (Lightning and Tint) and they are also unable to reflow on zoom now. Unfortunately, Firefox also dropped reflow recently (WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FF 24).
I don't remember if chrome ever supported it.
Opera does support reflow!
My questions are
a) Is there any chance that reflow can be fixed in the stock browser by modders?
b) How do you all browse the web without reflow? This is what xda-developers looks like in chrome... Some posts have the font boosted to a readable size but most of them remain tiny and I have to pinch in to zoom then pan across from left to right because it doesn't reflow. Before this "upgrade" the stock browser rendered every site I visit beautifully

The change from AOSP webview to the Chrome one is the most **** part of the KitKat changelog.
I really don't understand how people surf the web without text reflow on a small screen. Opera is my saviour! Perhaps I just have poor eyesight.

OK, so I'm not the only one going crazy here
Is there anything we can do? Opera is using the Blink layout engine which is to my understanding similar to (a fork of) Chromium. This makes me think that it is feasible to make wrapping work in the new AOSP browser.
ps. Firefox 23 has wrapping and is available from,

Unfortunately for me I can't handle their scrolling. The inertia gives me a headache

I've never used Chrome until after 4.4+ and even then very little. But if I remember right it never did support text reflow. I even went back to 4.3 on my N7 for a couple weeks after the update to 4.4 until I could figure out what to use to replace the AOSP browser. I was a longtime, diehard user of the AOSP browser, effing google screwed that up. So... I've been using Dolphin Browser for a while now and it works great on both my N5 & N7. Has text reflow, scrolling works very well and flash works if you use a modified version of the Flash Player.

Dolphin has reflow because it uses it's own rendering engine. Vanilla android should have it. There was no reason to deprecate the feature from AOSP Browser.
As someone else posted in the google code thread :-

I agree! I was Extremely disappointed to see what happened with the AOSP browser!
The trouble is there are so many goggle/chrome fanbois that refuse to see what is wrong right in front of them, and keep posting how wonderful chrome is... that any pressure to make goggle coders actually produce a good browser falls flat...... or its, horror at the thought, goggle employed shills? because to me it makes no sense whatsoever to be blind to the massive faults of chrome.
basically they can't code a good browser. so resort to breaking others... didn't Microsoft get badly done legally for much less than that?
Dolphin broke my AOSP browser addiction...
I was amazed by dolphin at first. The speed. Flash player. But then it started to become a problem. Just would not load pages. Can't be bothered to fix it

I've never seen it until today, and now it's all over the place. It's weird.
I had this exact same problem! At times there would be 3 different sandboxed processes that would appear on my battery stats and boy did they drain my battery.
As to a fix, I tried everything from clearing chromes cache/data, rebooting, uninstalling chrome updates and even a fresh ROM install but the sandboxed processes still came back. I eventually gave up on chrome and just installed the aosp browser which imho is one of the smoothest/fastest browsers out there! My battery has lasted so much longer now that I stopped using chrome. I suggest you just find an alternative browser

I'm giving Dolphin a spin for the first time in about 2 years. Already I'm blown away by how much faster it is than either Chrome or the AOSP browser. I've never cared for the AOSP browser, to be honest.
Whatever floats your boat man . Still curious as to why these sandboxed processes started popping up out of nowhere though. I went a long time with no such issues using chrome and I believe after upgrading to 4.4.2 is when it began happening. Wonder if there is a screwup somewhere. So strange...

Just checked and I got one as well today. First time I have ever seen it. Mine used next to no battery though, but still 5 minutes of CPU time.
Same problem here, do you know any way to fix it?. Sandoxed process is killing my battery all the time.
same here! like look at the stats I'm getting with it
I started having the same from one day to the other. I guess there is no user fix, so it's just up to Chrome devs to manage the memory hog. Is there a fully working (bookmark sync, incognito mode) flashable AOSP browser working with 4.4.2 at this time?

I am having this same issue as well. You would think it would have been fixed by now especially for my nexus 5.... Is the only solution to not use chrome?
I get it too but it doesn't seem ton have too much detrimental affect on the battery, well no more so than you would expect from actually using Chrome.
Are you guys with heavy drain using Chrome Beta?
These sandboxed processes are killing my phone's battery so much. Was looking for a solution and found this thread. So no solution for this issue ?
Just a wild guess but does this happen after leaving Chrome running in the background (multi tasking)? Or even when Chrome is closed.

Happens only while using chrome.
I wont say that this is killing the battery on my Nexus 7; but I realized the chrome.sandbox entries today(2)...had four tabs open in my Chrome browser fresh from a charge..2 happened to have flash content in them. Don't know if that is relevant to the thread or not, but perhaps it might be a useful observation in order to test/diagnose. i.e. maybe its normal and mobile chrome sandboxes threads from pages that contain certain "content". Perhaps this actually makes chrome more secure and stable (anyone ever been on a flash laiden webpage that crashed before?)
Interesting that this is the only thread I've found re: this issue.
I've seen this mentioned about before. Is everyone experiencing it or is it rom or kernel specific? It's driving me mad!
I'm on cataclysm rom with elementalx kernel
Can anyone else having the issue say what they're running. See if we can get it figured out

Swiffy-converted Flash to HTML5 animated Google AdSense ads cause terrible performance jank in Chrome for Android
I've been trying to figure out what's causing absolutely awful scrolling and general responsiveness performance issues in Chrome onhttp://www.androidpolice.com*lately, and my conclusion is that it's Swiffy that is powering some of Google's AdSense ads with animations. Recently, Google announced that they're now auto converting all Flash ads to HTML5, presumably with Swiffy, but it seems like their own browser takes a huge hit any time it sees them.
The animations themselves are very choppy. We're talking about 2fps.
The browser jank increases 1000%. I tried pausing the Chrome debugger attached to a mobile device via USB debugging and caught Swiffy code using touchstart and touchend, which are known for causing performance issues.
Any time a page loads without animated ads, the performance is fine.
We even tried to apply translateZ(0) to try to force ads to go to the GPU, but don't seem to have much success there.
Any ideas for optimizations that could force ad rendering on the GPU or help otherwise?

Using Cataclysm + ElementalX Kernel + Adaway. I havent seen any freezes. Maybe its certain sites that cause it. I read it was HTML ads that cause it? I don't do a whole lot of browsing on my phone but every site I have gone to has not frozen on me.
What sites are people experiencing this on?
Using cata 16 mar + eeX 2.11 latest releases and adaway up to date.
Even scrolling down this thread chrome will freeze for anything up to 15-20 secs.
Went back to stock kernal for a bit and didn't suffer the same although never used chrome a great deal.
So is it 100% confirmed its chrome at fault because evidence is misleading?
hi all,
don't know if this has been mentioned before (if so my apologies) but just wanted to share this
I've been a bit frustrated with the browsing speed of my S7, I've always used chrome (mainly for integration with lastpass and just because... well, it's chrome right?) but was never impressed with the speed.
Tried a bunch of other browsers (dolphin, maxthon, UC, firefox, ...) you name it.... same feeling...
A friend of mine has an iphone 7, comparison of browser speed was... humbling... Even to the point of considering switching to an iphone!
Started googling about this and somewhere someone on some site mentioned in the comments section of an article about how great iphone's are compared to android that the samsung stock browser (version 4+) in combination with an adblock is "all you need".
To be honest, until that moment I had never even used the stock browser... It's stock so it can't be good right?
Started using the stock browser in combination with "adblock fast" and never looked back... this browser is amazing, did the same tests again with my friends iphone 7 and where before the S7 was slower every time, now it was fastest in about 80% of the cases!
No lastpass integration but the fingerprint login built into the browser works on most of the sites I've encountered so far. Not perfect but the speed makes up for everything.
So here it is, I don't want to start a browser-discussion (everybody has his/her own preference) but for the people who never used the stock browser you might want to give it a try and see how it works out for you...
Cheers

It also beats Google Chrome in one of the best benchmark tests - Vellamo Mobile Benchmark, and provides a much better feeling of use than Chrome and any other browser. Scrolling is so much better.

hi all,
don't know if this has been mentioned before (if so my apologies) but just wanted to share this
I've been a bit frustrated with the browsing speed of my S7, I've always used chrome (mainly for integration with lastpass and just because... well, it's chrome right?) but was never impressed with the speed.
Tried a bunch of other browsers (dolphin, maxthon, UC, firefox, ...) you name it.... same feeling...
A friend of mine has an iphone 7, comparison of browser speed was... humbling... Even to the point of considering switching to an iphone!

Stock browser with Disconnect Pro is working pretty well. I'm using ir since S6 and I'm happy.
I would like to use stock browser but I need bookmark sync with chrome and this is not supported
Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
Bookmarks sync via Samsung account works. Install samsung sync addon for Chrome on PC and after starting sync your stock Android browser will sync bookmarks tab. Of course, you have to login Samsung account on the phone before you do all this.
Btw, stock browser is good but needs text formatting .
Which version of the samsung browser are you guys on? Im still seeing 4.0.10-53 on google play, i have the 930w8 if it matters and nothing on samsung's galaxy app store. I had to download version 5+ from apkmirror

I'm using 5.0.30-40 with adblock for samsung internet browser and its fast!
The 5.0 version is installed on Android N...
What's new in v5.0?
According to ApkMirror descriptions, 5.0.30-13 is for Android 4.4+, 4.0.30-43 is for Android 5.0+. I think it is a bit confusing. Both have the same variant date, which is even more confusing.
Do you have an "exit" option on the stock browser ? Screen print from my S4 attached - I don't have it on my S7 G930W8 ?
Not sure the app actually closes ?

Hi, you can select but only option is to share not delete. Delete is possible but for added bookmarks. Original bookmarks is not possible to delete.
