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?
I've been using Chrome on my GS2 happily until it came out of beta and was updated. It was my default browser to launch links, since the update the app opens but completely freezes. Only way to get out is pressing home and then force closing it. If I open the app normally (not through a Google+ link etc) it opens fine though. Any ideas?
My current Rom is Thebyani v4.5, but going from 4.4 to 4.5 hasn't changed anything.

I have an app in my drawer called "Messenger" - it has a red icon with a white text bubble and plus sign in it.
I don't use this (I use google voice and the messaging app only.
I can't find this app in TB to freeze it. Anyone know what app it's called in there for me to freeze?
Pretty sure that's Google plus. Try that

Ya that's part of Google +
Most launchers will let you hide apps from your app drawer. That's what I did to it.

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

Every time I look something up on Google chrome the page starts blank. The progress bar moves across the screen but nothing shows. Is this happening with anyone else? If so how did you fix it? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache and history, and signing out and back in.

Strange. Working for me so far. Try reinstalling it. Also try chrome beta as its faster!
