This has been bugging me for a while now and I wonder if it bugs other people too.
When launching a link from a web page and then returning to the same web page the browser doesn't return to the point on the page where the link was. It goes back to the top of the page. Meaning I then have to scroll to the part of the page where I was before.
This is really annoying. Any ideas how to rectify this issue? It happens in the stock browser and dolphin.

No one experience this too? What's the deal?

Ya that's happened to me once or twice, try force close browser or even rebooting the phone and it should be back to normal. I don't know why that happens.
im not the developer of it, but try the maxthon browser... its not the "simpleest" or the tinyiest, but the main reason for me to use it, that its the ONLY browser that works with the java based groupwise web overlay.
all other browsers slides all graphics to a non visible area or something... kinda weird.
YOUR problem should be gone with that browser too ... dont ask me why

Try Google Chrome for Android. Once you'll go Chrome, won't come back.
It's much better and faster. The only thing it's missing is Flash support.
Are there any known fixes or solutions for stock browser lagging while scrolling?
My Issue...
After an extended amount of time using the browser, pages will start to "skip" or "lag" when scrolling. For example, I will place my finger on the screen to scroll a google results page, and without removing my finger I will scroll up or down (doesn't matter which), and during the scrolling I will notice the screen lag. Lag, as in the screen appears to freeze briefly, and then pick up where my finger is, giving the appearance of "lag", "skipping", or "jumping".
I think the important key here is that my finger is not removed from the screen. The problem does not occur when I flick the screen to scroll.
Noticing that the problem happened after an extended amount of time I tested clearing the cache, and force closing the browser. And that does indeed fix the problem, at-least for the time being until it begins to do it again.
Thanks for any help you guys can give, or directions you can lead me in to fix this problem.

I've found the stock browser to be the quickest in regards to overall use. So, I'd rather stick with stock if possible.
I had a few issues with the stock browser as well, what you mentioned as well as some others. I use Chrome on my PC so mobile Chrome was the obvious choice. There is nothing you can do to fix it. Except to stop using it.

Bummer. I don't remember this issue with my past phones (g2, g1). Just seems like it's not "releasing" cached data perhaps? I don't know, guess I'll concede and give another a browser a try. Hope text re-flow has improved in the non-stock browsers.
:cyclops:
Boat browser...
If u want to stick with stock... then stick with lag.
Boat is faster anyways

Does anybody have any answers, solution or causes for the pinch to zoom lag in the stock web browser? Im stock rooted and very annoyed by this. It didnt do it until recently. I have cleared all ram and cache with no improvement. It does it randomly every few seconds when I pinch to zoom on web pages. Bout to throw this $730 phone if I cant get it to stop! LOL
It appears nobody else has had this issue or nobody has a proven solution. I'll keep digging into it and see what I can do to find the cause and a solution to the pinch to zoom lag. Ill post here if and when I figure it out so others can have the info. I guess im the only one experiencing this.
no lag here

Hi all,
I got my Verizon HTC one a few days ago and noticed something weird that happens most often when browsing reddit. Any time I click on a link hosted at i.imgur.com the pictures are incredibly small in the too left corner. The attached file is an example.
Is this a chrome issue, HTC one issue, or both?
Chrome bug. It's fixed in the latest Chrome Beta.
Honestly, though, I would stick with the stock browser. It doesn't drain the battery as much since it's optimized specifically for the One, and it's a heck of a lot smoother.
I was going to ask that. I know chrome is stock on some phones, but everytime I try it, I go back to stock browser because chrome still isn't great on mobile. On samsung's browser, you even get your desktop chrome bookmarks so not much reason to use Chrome mobile.

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I have no problems with Dolphin at all and that's all I use. ...I need more info to help. .. What rom? Did you restore data? Etc

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.
You should try it !
