Samsung galaxy s4 stock browser is chrome based! - Galaxy S 4 General

I am very surprised that no one have noted before..the stock browser of samsung galaxy s4 is based in google chrome..
See the screenshot.. is a test with html5test.com
Try to go to html5test.com from your browser and see the info about the browser!

Interesting...is this why it now doesn't reflow text and you can double-tap to zoom in on a block of text? IIRC this was not possible on the stock Android browser or previous Galaxy phones.

It's possible, stock browser also does not support flash player any more just like chrome.

Yes and also it is why the browser lags sometimes..

LOL
What else would it be? Safari?
Of course it's based on Chrome!
(It's the same thing for the S3, porbably for all the stock browsers!)

Yes, both based on Chrome, but which version?
I strongly believe that OP is right, that's why the stock browser on S4 lags and does not support flash.

You are embarassing yourself dude..
So it seems that the best solution will be boat browser :s
I'm sur devs will find a way to bring back stock android browser now that we know that it is chrome based.
Thanks to the OP for this discovery

Or Samsung could just be putting their agent out as chrome so websites believe its chrome and display sites based on that...
Just like on certain browsers that can tell the site its an ios device to view ios version of said site.

Browser on 2.3.4 not yet GPU accelerated?

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

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.

Browser for ICS

I know lots of people prefer ICS+ but It just keep messing up my usage. Just somehow, I don't like the way how it worked on infuse. The side selection menu is all the point.
I would recommend Chrome beta or the system browser. They are both pretty good.
The system browser has the side selection which is very convenient, even it's only five fixed selections it's enough. I like the way how you can switch between tabs in the system browser easily.
On the other hand, I noticed a speed advantage in Chrome beta. The tab sync function is excellent if you use Chrome on your computer. Totally "Cloud". Also the magnifier function when you click on some close links save you some time double tap to zoom in.
The others are gingerbread era browser. Probably among those I would recommend Opera mobile.
Just some personal suggestion
Dolphin HD is stable and ez to use

I must agree. I was using ICS browser plus... but after using Chrome beta.. I must say.. it is probably the best browser I have used.. It's great how it links to your home computer's tabs if you're using Chrome at home too.
Chrome Beta for the win!

Bookmark syncing is a welcome addition as well. Chrome ftw
I used to dislike chrome for android... but it now works very well. I vote chrome, it makes the browsing super snappy compared to the stock one which takes forever to load xda and such.

Same. It's a lot faster than the default browser and it is still in Beta and only available for ics roms. One of the things I like about it is that it syncs all of my bookmarks from my pc, which is a really cool feature. My vote is for Chrome as well.

Previous SNote?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

Stock aosp is also nice, but the quick controls seem dodgy to me and doesn't always work, which is a deal breaker when running full screen.

In greece data plans tend to be rather expensive ... and i think that the same applies to numerous other countries ... i believe u should count yourself lucky in that matter
I used chrome on my gt i9500 although i'm from greece i opted for that because i thought it may have more potential since it's a new technology and snapdragon 600 reached pretty much it's limits ... didn't count overheating in that equation unfortunately but you never know what the mighty xda developers may come up with and i also like touchwiz so i'm not that disappointed ... anyways chrome seems that gets unreasonably bloated at times ... like around 650mb of ram with just xda forums tab ... except the fact that i tried most if not all of your suggestions and thank u for the contribution to the topic i reached to the conclusion that chrome uses the most memory than anyone else but is also one of the most fluid ... also dolphin and dolphin beta use a bit less memory and are just as fluid with beta version a bit faster than the non beta and just as fast as chrome ... boat is ok would say a bit inferior to those mentioned above ... ucbrowser and maxthon doesn't seem to be as good at least in my device ... i used opera a lot in the past but i didn't try it because not full screen mode and that adress bar which doesn't dissappear started to getting on my nerves and firefox left to try
i opened the exact same pages to all of those browsers i tried and also seem pretty much all of them have some kind of problem with xda forums ... seem to get stuck at some point
Conclusion ... so far dolphin beta and chrome seem to the best ...
Boat - many options and good/clear UI ...

Best browser for S7

Hi, I have just purchased S7 few days ago. I'm satisfied with the device and still getting used to it. Currently, I'm also using iPhone 6S.
I still haven't found the right browser for me. I really like Safari on my iPhone, that can sync all my password and bookmark to Safari on Mac and iPad. Reading list, reader mode, and adblock are also awesome. Is there any browser on Android that come close with this functionality?
Also, does Chrome and Firefox also sync your passwors to Desktop browser? And how do you open tab in background in Samsung Internet Browser?

Chrome would be your best bet but the stock sbrowser while based on chrome is by far the fastest and smoothest (doesn't sync with your desktop though).
I use Dolphin and have done for a long time. Sync bookmarks with for example your Google account , really easy to use bookmarks. Just swipe from left side of screen. I use it on both my Samsung and iPhone

But they are annoying, another thing i noticed is if i open links through another app like twitter, it doesn't open new tabs for each link. It just opens the links in the same window, opera on the other hand opened a new tab for each link, again annoying.
Im sure these things could be easily fixed but good luck getting anyone at samsung to listen to you.

Good thing is the app is being updated via the playstore so I'm sure they will push frequent enough updates.

It's not the fastest. Puffin is the fastest browser out there. Do a test put the same phone side by side one with chrome and one with puffin. Puffin will beat it in Web page loading every single time. That being said, the stock browser is the smoothest when it comes to Web page scrolling
Cm13 browser
Install to app/browser with any root browser

It would be a travesty to use a browser that loads a webpage a fraction of a second faster yet feels so laggy when scrolling, uninstalled it after 5 seconds.

If you dont have a massive bookmark collection in chrome. Srsly, why don't they let you import bookmarks still?

there is a plugin for pc chrome that will sync your bookmarks with the samsung browser. i just switched from android chrome this week and its amazing how much faster the samsung browser is. the only thing is that it doesnt do is sync your passwords/web searches/etc accross devices...
