The default browser works for most of my needs. Is there a way to control scrolling speed and to make it smoother when scrolling? I would think this phones hardware is more than capable. Scrolling looked better on my HD2 running andoid off the sd card. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Been using the stock browser, and I have been impressed with the smoothness and functionality. I don't see the shortcomings as you have described. I've toyed with loading up alternate browsers, but I find the default browser to be solid.

Mine looked good on the first phone, but it would not stay on (reboot of death). My second phone works great, but when scrolling it is slower and it appears choppy.
Anyone else notice any weirdness with the stock browser? Not really complaining, but just hoping to further improve.
dont mean to be crude but it really sucks compared to old stock gingerbread sense browser. what can i do to get a smooth browser experience with no flickers and slow rendering after pinch and zoom? i tried maxthon but even that is a bit slow in rendering after pinch and zoom. i flashed the downgrade fix but that still sucks. in gingerbread everything was smooth. any help? thanks

G'day champ,
I understand what you're saying, I also had these problems. I don't tend to like Maxthon, Firefox is also still in what feels like an early beta stage.
I've moved towards Dolphin Browser HD, and I haven't had any problems with it at all. I'd provide more info, but I'm in a rush.
But let me know how it goes for you, as I'd love to hear your feedback on it.
Are we not liking Chrome, either?
yeah agree , before it was good but now i use chrome beta!
I got ics but I don't have any problems with my browser .
There's nothing wrong with the ics browser on my phone, and I think it's better because it has more functions.
ICS browser works fine for me on my nosense VI rom.
i tried chrome too. not really my cup of tea. im ok with dolphin though. you guys probably forgot what the gingerbread stock browser was like. I jus moved from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich and the difference is huge. i mean this new browser is ok, but i just wish it were more responsive and smooth with the rendering and pinch and zoom
I'm sure it'll be better after official release guys... And chrome is decent but I'm holding untill its released from beta

I hate that link don't open up to the page I want, when I'm in a third party app.
Finally I am not crazy!!!

Yes thank you I have been having this problem too. I have only noticed it in Yahoo! Mail though. I have uninstalled it yahoo mail though. I have a full release version of ICS too. You would think they would check that with such popular programs as Yahoo Mail.
Thanks for the info. I've flashed a few ics roms & every1 of them has an unpleasant browsing experience compared to stock GB, especially on the desktop of utube. Does dolphin HD scroll & pinch to zoom smoothly on the desktop utube? I'd like to know b4 I reflash again for the 20th time. Thanx in advance

I'm using Chrome Beta, and has so many bugs. I use Opera 11.62 for my computer's browser, but Opera on mobile doesn't like HTML 5. So, I still use Chrome even though it kind of sucks.
Yes it does.
Though this may work better in devices with hardware buttons such as the Sensation (I wonder if it does):
There's no standard menu button and you have to hunt for it in each application, as in all of ICS
The menu "...." icon, in Google's finest new style, is unintuitive and most often hidden
Can't search the page or perform a menu action withotu abandoning my current scroll position
But I've had even worse issues:
I can't find where can I change my User-Agent so that I don't get the crappy "mobile" sites from everybody; I haven't paid 500 € on a large screen phone to get crippled versions
I can't find where can I add custom search engines
Screen estate is often wasted with yet another obnoxious toolbar made of obnoxious Google style icons (i.e. ugly, monochrome, abstract and unintuitive)
And that's just from 5 minutes of use. Back to Opera Mobile — I suggest you do the same; it's faster, has better features and a much better UI (well, anything has a much better UI compared to Google's stuff since Google+).
I've choosen for myself "ICS Browser+".
Sorry if this question already exists but the forum's search function didn't work at the time.
I've been using the HTC One S with the HTC's Sense Jelly Bean android for 3 weeks and and so far, I don't find I'm missing the Stock Android. But there are a couple of things that are bothering me. First, the AOSP webkit engine scrolling (when used by Dolphin and gmail, not the Sense browser) lags, and Chrome's scrolling also lags. The Sense browser on the other hand is extra smooth it's a joy to use.
Has anyone experienced that?
Also, a couple of game such as Rayman Jungle Run lag, which shouldn't because the S4 CPU+GPU should be good enough to run it.
When I was using 4.3 the scroll was by no means slow, but I had the occasional stutter here and there in apps like Chrome or baconreader.
Since I've updated I've noticed that the scrolling is even smoother than before, in baconreader I don't get any stutter at all, it's just crazy fast, and Chrome too.
So, was there anything done to scrolling or performance in 4.4 or it's just placebo effect?

I don't know about the scrolling, to me it was always really good so I cant tell the difference. But at least kikat fixed my parsing package problem :]
Is this an issue or a feature? Since I started using the S6 I noticed that the scrolling down on big webpages feels stuck and laggy, it's not smooth as it was in the G2.
Have you noticed it too?
Facebook works kinda good for me...
But chrome work rly bad even after installing that support libary from the appstore
Anyway i have set up the default browser
And it works much much better then chrome
Alot faster and very easy/simple to use...
You should try it.
There's sometjing weird happening with the Java Script in Chrome I believe. IMO the stock Samsung Browser works way better.
changed to stock browser from chrome because of the lagg and poor loading times..stock s6 browser is way faster by a mile! and smooth as silk!!
