A few days ago I bought an Asus Zenfone 2 for my mum and I realised how smooth chrome is on that phone compared to the S6. Anyone else having this issue where chrome isn't really running at 60fps?
Especially when opening and closing tabs, my S6 just drops frames all the time. I'm on 5.0.2 if it matters.
probably something to do with the extremely poor ram management on the S6, as chrome is known to be a resource hog. Zenfone 2 on the other hand has 4GB of ram.
It's not the high end zenfone, it's the dual core version with only 2gb of ram

Try to enable Developer options and raise to 1.5x or 2x each of the three animation settings.
The length of the animation doesn't help anything. I'll post a slow mo video later. The S6 just drops frames so often.

As you can see, the S6 drops so many frames compared to an entry level phone.
Installing the latest 'Android system web view' made chrome smooth on my phone.
I did. Version 45+ for arm and arm64. Didn't help at all

Ok, today I made a quick browsing session with Chrome, paying attention to smoothness, and can't really say to see something wrong.
I mean, I come from a OnePlus One that was very smooth (custom ROM and kernel) and my S6 is around 99% of that performance.
The heavy debloating I made might help, though.
I also have this lagg in chrome, but i must say its only on resource heavy pages (lots of pictures, adds, banners etc.).
I will reset my device in a few days. Went to the Samsung store and checked out their display units. Some seem to suffer from it while others don't. My phone is also pretty bloat free, only about 3 pages of apps.

Go to Playstore and install latest version of Chrome.

Try to turn Javascript off from settings. It will make Chrome more smooth.
Yes that actually helps dramatically but it breaks web pages

Try installing Chrome Samsung Support Library from Play store?

If you have couple of web pages that need Javascript you can add them to exceptions in settings. But if you visit mainly those pages that necessarily need javascript then this solution is not good.

I've been monitoring my temp on my nexus 5 and notice that chrome browser would heat up about 20 degrees more comparing to Firefox, dolphin and opera. I almost get about the same type of heat while playing a game.
I've tried it with stock, Franco, faux and elementalx kernel. And got similar results.
It does run smooth but I miss my aosp browser with text reflow...

I noticed this too. I see that the CPU runs on max speed when chrome is open.
Yeah Chrome destroys the battery as well. Idk what's up with it. I hope there's a update here soon.

Google needs to restore the old aosp webkit code in 4.4. The new chromium webview is so inefficient. Ditch chrome for android and update the old aosp webview to the latest version of webkit and v8.

Really? Chrome pegs the CPU to max value? If true that is pretty ****ty of Google. It sounds like something an OEM would do to "fix" their weakest point, which for Google is seriously Chrome's lagginess. Sounds like one of those "features" that would get turned off in an update after all of the reviews are in.
Gonna have to test this out.
Good thanks guys, I figured I'll get slam for posting this. But at least now I know I'm not alone. It really feels like with the nexus 5 they are really trying to push Google stuff down our throat.
Just like the YouTube and Google plus integration.

I can confirm that Chrome does not peg the CPU to max value. It certainly seems like it ramps up the CPU higher than is necessary, but its not "cheating" like Samsung does for benchmarks in any way.
The Nexus 5, for me, heats up no matter what I do. 5 minutes of youtube produces noticeable heat, as does facebook and many other apps. Personally, I would suggest you set the max CPU freq lower and see what happens. Personally, I do not mind the heat that much, as it does not seem to detrimentally affect the battery life.
I've been using Firefox and find the phone gets warm and drains the battery fairly quickly. I have it set up to sync, are you using sync options on your chrome?

Somewhat unrelated, but do you have any issues with images displaying on some sites? I see nothing on bing images and ebay mobile, for example.

I did think about it for a minute. Nexus 5 without stock Android browser and YouTube integrated with Google plus is kinda like pushing us to use the service they want us to use. Which Google normally don't do. What I like about android was the freedom. I aware this will change with custom roms but its the direction it is going.
And I didn't mention other people app? Not sure if you realized stock android browser and YouTube is own by Google.

Checked Bing images and it's working fine on FF. I should also note that I have an addon to use desktop versions of sites checked by default.

Chrome is a battery hog, it's very heavy on the system. Dolphin with Jetpack for the win!
So the phone is suppose to have 1080x1920
When I go to whatismyscreenresolution.com, it says my screen is 479x816... anyone know why?

I got 360x592, Doesn't seem to be optimized for mobile devices, because on my computer it was correct.
Every web browser using Webkit have their resolution divided by 2, I don't know why, just that it's like that.
Habit browser, Naked browser and many others don't have this problem.
Hmm.. Let me naked browser

Can't install naked browser... Habit browser still says same thing...
Even at 479x816 resolution, still doesn't come to proper screen size times 2... Hmm... Maybe I should try it on stock ROM?

If you know the resolution anyway, is it really important to get a web site to report the resolution?

For the life of me cannot figure out why I can't load mobilesyrup webpage on my nexus 5 while using the chrome browser.
Any links to the site or even articles pertaining to mobilesyrup simply leads to it stalling and never loading.
All other pages I've tested so far work. Googling the word mobile syrup will bring up the usual, list main site and news pertaining too the site but actually clicking on any links leads to it just stalling.
The strange part is if I choose incognito mode it works flawlessly. Decided to clear cookies. Etc... But nothing works.
This is a bit concerning as I'm starting to wonder if this is true for other pages I haven't yet visited.
Running everything stock. No root, nothing. 4.4.2
Anyone have any clue as to why this is?

Are you using that band width saving feature in chrome?
I think that kills Syrup irc.

Sent from my Nexus 5
Yea, I just tested, out of curiousity. Loaded fine, and then turned on the bandwidth savings and it would not load the page completely. Switched off and loaded again.
To see if yours is on, you will need to go into Chrome's Settings and under Advanced, you'll see the Bandwidth Management then inside there, in Reduce Data Usage, just turn the setting off and you'll be good to go.
Yes bandwidth saving feature is on. I'm going to go test it out now. If that's the issue, I wonder why it only affects mobilesyrup.

On the edge forum they discussed was of improving battery unfortunately it's lots in the see of battery reports http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60959710
I think they turned off Google now ran greenify and disabled any bits of the phone they deemed not to be used .
It's better but until Google and Samsung both sort out their bugs some apps will still differ lag.
I my self now only notice lag in flipboard and Google chrome
Only when scrolling on some pages not all

Get rid of clean master and 360 security. Any apps that say they speed up your phone or provide anti virus etc Slooooow them down.,
There is zero lag on mine, barring on some web pages and bad apps.
Okay so... Since deleting clean master and the 360 virus thing, it seems like my phone is running way faster but I'm not sure yet..

these two apps runs in the background all the time...that's why they are causing some issues....and yes don't trust the "make your phone faster".....the fastest it can be is when it's new and fresh without apps

Download greenify app from oasis feng in play store and greenify/hibernate most apps installed except maybe WhatsApp, FB and Viber if u use them as if they're greenified, they won't get synced unless u open them! U should get more than 30mins+ improvement!
I suggest using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova as well. TW launcher is just abysmal!

Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.

Why are my Chrome Incognito tabs closing down after a few hours??
I'm not even closing the Chrome app down so I expect all my sessions to stay in memory and I can continue where I left off. I just go back to the home screen to open some other apps such as Mail and Messages.
I don't think this is be design because Safari on my iPhone keeps ALL my tabs in memory if I've not closed down the app itself.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Is this an Android thing or another bug with One UI?

The phone I've got the issue with is the Galaxy S10e running One UI 2.
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
I've narrowed this issue down to Chrome! That's where the issue lies!
I opened the same Incognito tabs on both browsers and left them for a few hours and noticed Chrome had killed the tabs whereas Firefox still remembered them!
God knows when Google are likely to fix something like this so I may just use Firefox for Incognito browsing and Chrome for normal browsing as annoying as that sounds. I still have all my bookmarks synced on Chrome.
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
Try kiwi, it is pretty much identical to chrome but with better performance and lack of issues such as this (much lighter on resources as well)
Noticed that even Firefox has the same issue after a while! This seems to be a memory management issue with the OS.
Not quite sure what all the RAM is doing on this phone!

I don't think so because my phone isn't in any low power mode. Also surely this shouldn't affect keeping things in memory.
My iPhone will keep things in memory regardless of which mode I'm in.
