Installed Chrome on my A700 today and it seems VERY slow/laggy compared to the stock Android browser. There's quite a bit of choppiness and draw-in as well.
Chrome is my browser of choice so I'm kind of bummed by this.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with Chrome on their A700?
Me too and I also prefer Chrome over stock. There are also a handful of posts about the bugginess of Chrome on the A700 as the screen won't always refresh properly and goes white. People say they have submitted that info to Google so hopefully they can fix some of the general issues like this as well.

Thanks for confirming!
Don't think it's worth returning the tablet just for that issue (especially since I'm not alone) but it definitely adds to the list of dislikes...
I should add that Chrome works great on my Nexus 7. I wonder how much of that is due to JB???
Chrome still a bit laggy under JB (but much less than under ICS).
Stock Browser and Dolphin run smooth and fast as hell. Just FF is as laggy as Chrome under JB.

I've gone back to the stock browser for now, but will be trying Dolphin later today.
I had previously used Chrome and Dolphin on my TF101, but didn't think to try it on the A700.
Thanks for the info!
Try Dolphin and Dolphin Beta. I prefer the Beta...It is a LOT faster for me, but it does randomly go white-screened. Regular Dolphin is more stable, and is more compatible with websites...The Beta is shown as incompatible with a lot of the websites I need to use at work, It's a trade-off.

Hi all,
The browser on 2.3.4 isn't GPU accelerated yet.
Some content rich webpages make surfing impossible with that substantial lag.

Any quick fix to make it GPU accelerated? Or is Google aware of this issue? This has been bugging me

You'll probably have to wait for Icecream Sandwich, in the meanwhile, use Opera.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Maybe the issue will be resolved in a future update 2.3.x, we can hope it.
especially when there are many pictures.
Opera handles much better..
Yep, the stock browser on Nexus S is really laggy. I prefer Opera on it.
But it's interesting that the stock browser in Galaxy Tabs Gingerbread ROM is super smooth. And given the fact that it was really awful in the beginning, its a HUGE improvement. So fingers crosses that Nexus S's stock browser gets a performance upgrade before ice cream sandwitch.
Seems odd to me. I bought a smart phone over a feature phone for better web browsing.
I hate it.. I don't understand the limitations when safari on iPhones has been smooth for years on less powerful hardware.
i installed flash 10.3 and all is good with the stock browser
Heres to hoping ice cream sandwich sorts it...as will as bring proxy!

I have no problems with Opera, however does it support Flash ?
If else, i think it defeats the purpose of another web browser
guys , I moved my stock browser,and change dolphin browser as my default . very fast.

Yes Opera supports flash as well, what is nice with Opera is you can enable certain flash elements within the webpage and not have to enable all of them at once

i really wanna use two browsers in my phone, because sometimes i just like to change the normal practice. opera is good to use. dolphin browser is perfect , never FC. it support flash and pinch-zoom. its amazing.
Anyone tried browsing with stock browser on xda forum here. Its almost unusable.

i tried, do you mean on the pc or mobile, on the pc i can both view xda with IE and chrome , on the mobile , i use dolphin browser because i have removed the stock browser.LOL
I'm really liking the Nexus S phone but I have to admit that the lag in the browser gets really annoying specially coming from the Iphone 4 it makes me doubt if I should keep the Nexus S or go to another android phone.

wow keyboard lag system lag!!!!! NOT HAPPY!!!!
keyboard lag reached a new high when browsing forums and larger webpages.
I AM NOT AMUSED
Slower here, transitions are even worse than before
Quandrant went from 2000 to 1500!
I'm am seeing all of the above - starting to wish I hadn't upgraded. Scalable widgets are great but not worth the slow-down - especially as I don't even have the option of a gmail widget at the moment!

I just received my TF today so can't compare with Android versions before 3.1, but video from YouTube seems to load slowly (lengthy buffering) even for short clips.
I also noted keyboard lag.

I have to agree with you. In general my experience has been pleasant. Although I haven't had the update for very long I have had to force stop the browser as it got extremely slow and wouldn't load pages (at one point the page was just lines of green) properly after a while of use. Has anyone come across this issue?
Well I have to say I'm really happy with the update so far. I've still got my Gmail widget and i don't see any lag at all. Typing has been a breeze, before it used to lag a hell of a lot but I'm typing pretty fast ATM and its keeping up with me no problem. I've also seen that some people cannot get the zinio app to work and I've been on mine and it works perfectly.
I don't understand how some people are getting different things from the same uodate.
Mabee because people rooted or summit? I've not touched mine its stock, although I wouldn't have thought that would have been a problem at all.

+1.. 3.1 is working flawlessly on my TF.. everything seems a lot more responsive
I am a bit confused about the different user experiences since upgrading also. I guess my unit was from one of the first batches as I have had it since a few days after launch, but I haven't put any custom roms or rooted or anything. And still I am getting a worse experience since upgrading, along with missing gmail widget.
Think I will have to do a factory reset and see if that fixes things

+1 works fine and still have the gmail widget
No lag here, it feels more tweaked out, youtube is fast, and the so called jutter effect while using the slider in the browser is'nt that bad as i saw in some vids.
I'm a happy camper with 3.1 (ww version)

After using the TF for some time after boot, the browser seems to force close without any error every time I open it and browse to a webpage. a reboot fixes it for awhile.
The you tube app works fine but I was trying to play a vimeo HD video in the browers and it wasn't pretty. audio is smooth but the video was just black for awhile and then showed up and started chopping.
I'm running the leaked 3.1
Overall performance seems good though.
Just did the ota upgrade last night and been browsing and checking youtube. Everything is working better for me.
Smooth browser scrolling
Can load large webpages
Keyboard lag much improved. Not perfect but workable.
720p video in youtube is smooth
Not fixed though is my weather widget on the home page. Will cut off the temperature a bit if rotating a certain way. No biggie.
Overall, I feel much better about this device.

Just wanted to poll which browser users find work best or have the most features. I've used the stock browser, cyanogens browser dolphin HD, and opera. I've found I each one of these has its pros and cons. Just wondering if I'm missing some Jem out there.

I've always liked and use Miren Browser.
Simple and not loaded with extra features....but haven't had an update in a long time.
Did a search and it no longer shows in the market.

Unfortunately, the stock browser is still the best out there. I absolutely do not understand how this is true, yet it is. It has blown my mind that not a single dev has released anything close to good. Chrome? Firefox? Miren has been abandoned.. WTF? Opera is okay, but still Meh..

dolphin browser has had several privacy issues...there is a thread on it in the regular Android apps forum. The most popular choice there was Boat Browser although if you are running ICS Chrome Beta seems to be the winner.
Personally, I like Dolphin Browser HD. I've used Opera, and the Stock on. But DB has the features I enjoy the most. It's Tabbed browsing is just like Chrome's.
Chrome for ICS, Dolphin for browsing wap sites, Opera for browsing web sites (i.e, flash)...
dolphin and sky fire works best for me
Chrome beta for ICS is real good, though i have only been playing with it for a couple of days, I really like the feel and look.
Chrome for ICS wins hands down! The only pity is no flash...
Not having flash isn't a pity, it's a major oversight on Googles part. Seriously... Wth.?

It isn't an oversite. Adobe is not supporting any new mobile browsers. Flash is bloated crap anyways. I hope they go under.

Pre-ICS my favorite browser was Miren Browser. Hands down. Since I've moved to ICS, it has been Chrome only because I'm a fanboy. No flash and horrible zoom rendering make it tough to use at times (I understand it's still in Beta), but it's my favorite so far. It is definitely the fastest.
Gotta say Chrome.

I am using the Dolphin HD browser, seems to work fine for me. Then again I do not use my browser so much.
It's a shame chrome is only for ICS - Dang marketing strategies...!!!
Opera Mini is good for browsing when only edge connectivity is available.
Firefox is ok, but i dislike the way it does zoom.
Dolphin and Miren browser are good.
And that, is my pov
Chrome beta and ICS Browser + I prefer on ICS. I also like Dolphin Browser Mini. Have used that browser for awhile.
One thing I like about the stock ics is it signs in your account automatically on Google services... not present with chrome beta(it does sync with desktop chrome tho, which the original one doesn't...

The final version will surely be great once it is a squared away. Like you said: Beta
Ive tried all of these, but i prefer Maxthon.
What's the best browser in your opinions? I've tried stock, dolphin, and firefox. All seem to be a tad sluggish. It might just be me being picky since my PCs have always been blazing fast..

The stock browser is best for performance as far as I can tell, but Chrome is just awesome so I use that.
A lot of compatibility issues were fixed with Chrome and Flash is actually dying away, so I'm going to say get Chrome.

Dolphin HD is the best. I can't stand Chrome or Firefox on the SR.
Been playing with chrome occasionally. Some sites align better, but most align worse than in dolphin. Dolphin seems most consistent to me. Hopefully chrome only gets better, I love the tabbing features.

I haven't used chrome, but I've used every other browser and opera has been the best by far. It's the only browser I've used that will display websites in desktop mode without any problems. All the others would still display some sites in mobile even though user agent was set to desk top.
I want to try chrome though. It's what I use on the pc
Watching embedded, non-YT videos on Chrome can be a pain in the ass at times, but other than that, I find it pretty good. Dolphin HD is solid as well. Dolphin has a ton of (optional) add-ons and extensions too.

Wrong section.
Google should focus on making Chrome itself less crappy, not using hacks like this to speed up the Chrome experience. I wouldn't use anything but the AOSP Browser (the CM-maintained version), Firefox, or Dolphin at this point.

I use both stock sense and chrome. Chrome for normal stuff and stock if I absolutely need flash.

I've switched to using Chrome exclusively. It used to hang on some webpages but that seems to have been resolved. The only thing I miss about the stock browser is the hidden address bar.
Dolphin here. Browsers are a dime a dozen, I use Dolphin because of the LastPass integration
