After some browser benchmarking i saw that samsung internet browser is faster than Google Chrome. I use samsung internet browser and I am suttisfied.
I used browserbench.org and octane.
Browserbench:
Internet browser :65573 score
Chrome : 55705
Octane:
Internet browser : 12853
Chrome : 10087
The one time I did use the Samsung Browser I did notice it was indeed faster than chrome. However personally a few milliseconds faster will not deter me from using chrome as I use chrome on my desktop as well.

Chrome has become bloated, stuttering and slow. The stock browser is infinitely better, and supports ad blockers.
The stock browser manages to keep 60fps almost all the time, while chrome... does not. lol
In general, I still use Chrome for the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem. There are few things I use the browser for where the speed is that critical. If it takes a few more seconds for a page to load, I don't really notice.
CM Browser: 62776 on JetStream.
I just wish the stock Samsung browser would support opening tabs in the background, its the number one feature I miss or else I'd switch to it as my daily driver for browsing.
I have tried many other browsers. Some of them are faster than Chrome. But I always go back to Chrome because I like the way settings are synched with all of my Android devices, my desktop and laptop. All of my bookmarks, passwords and history are there with whatever I'm using. Most of those other browsers are Android only.

I have always been a chrome user.
Until i got the S7 edge, I notice a massive difference between Stock and Chrome.
And never gone back to chrome.
I miss the Sync option, as i still use Chrome on my main desktops, But a price am happy to pay for a perfectly smooth browser.
(I just get very frustrated at them Ads/Popups that lock the browser (Forcing you to close the browser, They still get passed the Addblocker once in a while)
Like a Full screen ad, that hyjacks the Vibrate function, Does not let you go back or close etc.
I always use chrome for synchronization with all my devices . Previously use CM , Opera , Dolphin , and Samsung included . I prefer Chrome for synchronization though it may pay less than others.
Stock browser. Faster/smoother than Chrome.
I too have noticed the stock browser faster and I mean a lot faster then chrome, but like other's I've become reliant on having all my settings sync across all my devices which I can't live without.
Ideally I would like to use the stock browser due to it's efficiency but alas I am stuck with chrome (same reason I used chrome when I had an iPhone)
Stock browser here also
It's seem no any perfect way to sync with Chrome bookmarks and history, so that, no matter what kind of faster browser could not separate me from Google Chrome.

I was the same, But then when i look at how often i use Synced bookmarks or open tabs
Then whats the point.
I always use Push-bullet anyway, So to a faster more smoother browsing experience chrome has been removed.
Stock all the way FTW (Never thought i would see a day i would say this)

I use the Samsung Sync add-in for Chrome Desktop. It syncs the bookmarks in the desktop Chrome with the Samsung Internet browser. Works well for me.
Has anyone have an issue when the Samsung browser will not connect to the Internet when using Wifi? Alll other apps work and when I turn Wifi off the browser works again. Very odd.

Awesome!! I'm now explore the app on my desktop! thanks for sharing!
Samsung internet is much faster than Chrome. Also last updated Chrome browser become sluggish and have lagging tab switching animations.
But Samsung Internet couldn't open link on background!
So now I use UC Browser, same speed as Samsung Internet but with more functionalities.
Samsung Internet is great because it let's you block ads which makes it even faster.

I want all the folders supported in Dolphin, not just 500 bookmarks that aren't in folders.
I am also trying to sync my chrome contacts.
I stumbled upon this and am also having trouble finding a way to do that easily. Or at all as a matter of fact.
you may want to look at "google bookmarks assister2" its a free app that will sync you google bookmarks. Now it doesn't sync them with a browser app it will show the bookmarks in that application and you can launch them from there and it does give folders so it isn't to bad. I had some trouble getting it to sync correctly but after I did it worked pretty nice. Hope this helped good luck.
anyone found anything to do this? if i had all my bookmarks i could seriously use my tablet as a laptop/desktop replacement.
google bookmarks != chrome bookmarks (which are still synced to the cloud... there must be a way of syncing)
It would be really nice to sync the bookmarks from Chrome with the Android browser. Will look in the market..

Have you tried Xmarks? It's not free (you have to pay a $1/m subscription fee to get the Android app to let you login. see: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php), but it will automatically sync your bookmarks to Android, as well as between computers and browsers, and it stores them all online.

thats isnt the same thing as what we are talking about. We are talking about syncing 50+ bookmarks at times. with chrome to phone you would have to send each one then bookmark each one. That could take a while

I can vouch for this. It synced every app that was in the specified folder rather fast. I definitely needed this.
ChromeMarks (Lite/free - if you're satisfied with 1 way sync => PC to phone)
thank you for the help
I just tried PhoneMarks. I setup it up to sync with the default android browser, then went into dolphin HD\bookmarks to SD to sync from android browser to google bookmarks, then synced google bookmarks to dolphin. long story short, my chrome bookmarks are finally on my phone. thanks for the tip.
I'd love to try chromemarks, but I fear giving that many permissions to an app, that should be a stock feature. :/
I'm sure in time I'll just do it.
questions:
does it sync folders as well?
and does it just show up in the browser bookmarks, or do you have to click the app icon or whatever?
Phonemarks moves the bookmarks to recently visited on Samsung phones. Melt.
If you do however, go into most visited and untap the yellow favs star then click it again it'll add it to favourites.
Can't believe google didn't had that damn feature on last 2.x updates..! PhoneMarks, what would be the danger to use it exactly..?
I just released a first BETA of my Bookmark to Desktop app. It allows users to share pages from the Android browser straight to the bookmarks bar of Google Chrome/Chromium on their desktop.
The app can be found on the market under the name "Bookmark to Desktop (BETA)"
The Chrome extension can be found on chrome.google.com/extensions if you search for 'bookmarktodesktop'
A firefox extension is on the roadmap.
IMPORTANT: Both the app and extension are in a beta phase so feel free to report bugs, comments or feature requests.
Thanks for this. Will try it out.
Another developer wrote a firefox add-on that works with the app.
Now both Google Chrome/Chromium and Mozilla Firefox are supported.

cool, but where to download the app?
I am going to give this a try. I use chrome to phone and have wished for this function. Just out of curiosity - you didn't want to call it "phone to chrome"?
going to try it out but... chrome to phone hardly ever works for me. never sends link and NEVER lets me sign out after it gives me the error. really ticks me off!
dose this use appspot.com?
The idea is useful. It is sync between desktop and phone?
The reason I did not call it phone to chrome is because:
1. I did not want to limit myself to 1 browser
2. The extension does not have push yet. Currently the app polls every 30minutes and a manual fetch button is available.
Instant push that opens the bookmark in a new tab is coming very soon.

Hi
thanks for the nice app, I actually have been looking for something like this for quite some time
One question though: where are the accounts created/stored? I assume they are not bound with google account, so I am guessing they are managed by you?
Cheers

Yes, the accounts are bound to my backend. Currently there is no support yet for changing passwords and managing accounts but I'll try to add that in the near future.
Good job

I tested it with both regular Dolphin browser and Dolphin HD browser and they both are compatible. Use the menu button and then 'share page' from within the browser to use the application.
I just placed a small sneak preview video online that shows the upcoming instant Push to Desktop service.
http://www.vbsteven.be/blog/android-push-to-desktop-is-coming-video/
Just released the beta of PUSH to browser support on the Android market and the chrome webstore.
To try it please update your chrome extension to version 0.3 or later. The firefox addon does not have push yet but it is coming.

How the hell do I get my chrome bookmarks in the stock browser like my tablet has! I purchased the app chromemarks thinking it would do it. But it will only let me access my bookmarks not transfer them to the stock browser. So i have to open the app first then auto tranafered to the browser.
If someone can shine some light at this. It will be appreciated and thanked
Might be a part of the ics update.

I doubt the stock browser would do it, but a different browser can. Currently you can't use it on our phone because the browser requires ICS, but chrome for android allows syncing.
Even though I do use chrome on my desktop, I read about the firefox beta today and it has that feature between the firefox desktop browser, so I might switch back to firefox for now.
I tried searching for this problem on Google, but the only solution I came across was either by browsing gmail in classic or desktop mode on stock browser. I can't seem to delete a gmail email in mobile version. when I press the trash icon to delete an email, the icon turns blue to indicate that it has been pressed, but then it doesnt reload the page or delete anything. it just hangs..
since I am a frequent gmail user, I use dolphin browser instead, which works fine, but I still want to know what's causing the problem with stock browser. btw I don't use gmail app. my issue here is accessing gmail on stock browser.
thanks in advance!
edit: I am on stock btw.
am I the only one with this glitch? plz help
I dont have that issue but then again i use k9 email app. When i have used gmail via a browser on the phone i use chrome and dont have a issue

The app is far easier, I've found.
Nonetheless, I tested the stock browser and it does not actually delete any gmail items that I select when in mobile browsing mode. Works fine in Opera, though. I use Opera because it acts more in line with my expectations from a UI standpoint and rewraps text on zoom.
So, it's a stock browser bug, I'd think.

alright. thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe how Google's android stock browser has such glitch with gmail, which is also Google.
this is practically the main reason why I'm using dolphin instead. hope it gets fixed eventually.

I think google doesn't want us to deleted emails. Have you ever tried deleting your
email from the gmail website after not doing it fora few months? OMG! ITS crazy. First you can only do it 10 at a time and there may have hundreds or more, and each 10 take several clicks it can take hundreds of clicks! But if that's not bad enough if you want to completely delete them you have to do it all over again to delete them from the history and again from the trash.
Any reason you choose to use the browser over the app?

I like to surf internet and check emails under a single app. that's all lol
I'm getting frustrated with the way Chrome bookmarks are set up. Can anyone tell me how to make something a bookmark on my mobile and desktop bookmarks simultaneously? Whenever I add it to one group, it removes it from the other. I currently found a compromise by having my mobile version show the desktop bookmarks, but most of them are sites I do not access on any device other than my laptop. This is a very poor design, so I'm sure someone has figured out a workaround by now.
Try an app called "cmarks" to sync chrome bookmark both way
hope this helps.

I have a similar issue, I use bookmarks, not some mobile and some desktop bookmarks. I access all my websites on both my phone, tablet and pc.
I would like my phone and tablet to stop showing me the Mobile Bookmarks as default and instead show me the Desktop Bookmarks, because I keep and manage all my bookmarks on my desktop only. Not having to manage multiple sets of bookmarks is why I sync in the first place .
Now, I might be daft since I have not figured this out by myself, but Google has not been much help to me either.
Anyone got at tip? I run Stock JB 4.1.2 with latest Chrome browser on Samsung Galaxy S2. My tablet is an ipad with Chrome browser.
Thanks!
