Looks original enough.

Looks legit. Seems an xda member ported it. Check about. Lol. It's nice. Pretty fast. But it has some stuff in another language for some reason.

Lol screw "nice" and "pretty fast" this is the ****. Pretty damn awesome lol I'm loading websites in less than half the time it took with Dolphin and Maxthon.

DOLPHIN HD BROWSER IS BETTER, looks like google chrome too

I ditched Dolphin for Maxthon, and I'm ditching Maxthon for this. Don't really care for the gestures as long as it's faster, and this is.

Hmm a friend on stock rom tried this and had to uninstall because he said it slowed down his phone. Wonder why. It's fine on mine.

its nice but the apk is very small the original chrome has over 10mb.Greeeeeeetz

Okay did some digging around. The browser is Miren, not Chrome. It's a browser from China and has a MIUI feel. An xda member translated it to English. Now why anyone would go through the bother of labeling it as Chrome I have no idea.
Still pretty awesome though. Seems I've been testing a lot of Chinese apps lately. XD

ICS and browsers

So I'm tired of using like 3 different browsers for different applications. I use Firefox because its what I use on my desktop and I like the look and feel. I use chrome for the simplicity and speed sometimes, going to try switching to chrome on my desktop, I liked the bookmark sync Firefox has I think chrome has it too. But not everything works on chrome... I have to use stock browser for things like checking my sub trust account. And then there's Opera browser I like because I can make everything in desktop mode. What browser(s) do you guys use and is there just one I might be able to use instead of all 3?

You can request a desktop version of almost any site with the stock ics browser by just hitting the menu button and checking that option.

I use Opera Mini for everything.

The Chrome browser doesn't have flash?? Is it going to get it?
I'm currently using the stock ICS browser in CM9 and it gets the job done. Previously I used Dolphin Browser HD.

Im using stock browser too its really fast and can do java/flash within less then a second even on bad days!

I used to use dolphin but was having issues. I found the stock browser can get the job done but I don't use bookmarks.

The AOSP browser works the best for me.

I think it is up to the user I used to use dolphin hd with the gb roms. But I have always been a fan of chrome so when ICS came out I switched to that and have no complaints I keep the stock browser installed just in case there is something that chrome cant handle chrome still is in beta I think. And the stock ICS browser is not that bad at all.

Unfortunately Adobe dropped support for mobile, so only the stock browser can do flash. I remember when they announced the chrome app it said something about not supporting flash. HTML5 video works great though!

Prefered Browser
I have tried them all as well. I like Boat Browser. No flaky UI issues like dolphin, fully functional layout kinda Mozilla like. flash works great with it.
It is also very customizable. Imports bookmarks and is very fast. My $0.02 worth..

I like Maxthon. Give that one a shot. It has tabs and a nice fullscreen mode.
The only issue I don't like is the tooltips that pop up, and so far there is no setting to turn them off.They have told me they are working on that though.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Honestly all I run on my pc's and Macs is chrome. But on my phone as much as I have tried to use Chrome there's always little bugs that frustrate me. In my book, dolphin hd is the BEST browser for mobile platforms.

i am gonna have to say chrome for this one...... i dunno why but for what i need it for it works just fine. The only thing that i have found that bugs me is that the 2 finger zoom thing that is in the "browser" is not supported here. Yeah, yeah i know its dumb but ya know what i use it from time to time when pinch2zoom is not as easy to use, for example when my 2 year old baby wants to sit on my lap doesnt want to move because he "wants me". ya know stuff like that.....just sayn...

Google Chrome beta!

Google have launched a new beta channel for Chrome Android, the new version is now 25.0.1354.8, it is available on the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
Just done a few tests, in Sunspider it is now as fast as ASOP browser, but scrolling can still be janky, compared to stock Jelly Bean browser, which is disappointing. Try using www.theverge.com, IMO ASOP is still smoother, I now this is beta, but seriously Google please do not release Chrome v25 and still be less smooth than stock browser.

Gnexus simply can't handle chrome browser?

It doesn't matter to seem what ROM or android OS version I use since ICS. Chrome lags so badly it is unusable... anyone else have this problem? is there a solution?

I have the exact same experience with Chrome. I just stick to the stock browser though. Much faster, smoother and it syncs with google services.
Have I helped? Don't forget to make love to that "Thanks" button!

I quit using stock browser, only use chrome, no issues hrre

It's a Google browser.
So it syncs with Google just like chrome does.
Current Devices: At&t Samsung Galaxy Note, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Asus Google Nexus 7 Super Tablet
Current Roms: Skynote 7 (Note 2), AOKP (Galaxy Nexus), Nexus 7 Stock

For me, it's still Dolphin or bust.
The stock browser, not Chrome, is by my favorite on my N7 though.

Dolphin drains my battery way too much. It's fast but I love the leanness of naked browser. Have you guys tried chrome beta.. rumor has it that it runs much better

I use chrome on my laptop too so it syncs between my phone and computer.

Actually, on earlier CM9 nightlies Chrome would choke and be unusable, but on AOKP and other roms, it'd perform quite well. I guess it might be a memory leak.

Not to try and discredit you in any way, but Chrome works fantastically for me. No lag whatsoever.

Chrome all the way here. No problem

Try going back to the factory image. You may be shocked at the lack of lag in Chrome.

I'm running latest aokp builds and notice (and have noticed on prior builds) scrolling being jumpy and not smooth. I don't notice any lag in terms of page loading but the scrolling jumpiness is a real turn off for me. I stick with the stock browser.

Chrome works OK on stock roms and on PA, but I prefer stock browser. It's more stable and faster.

Out of these 2 browsers, which is better?!

Which do you like better: overall performance, speed, page rendering, looks, feel, customization.

Well then idk what to tell you. CHoices are Google Chrome or Dolphin Browser.
Currently on Dolphin Browser and been using it since my EVO 3D days. Never tried Chrome and I heard it could be slow, after the new update though, I heard it is lightning fast. So just wondering other's opinions.

Chrome. Dolphin browser can be more convenient and easily navigatable at times, but also hates a lot of websites.. Half the time you press a link and it does nothing for me. Then to change browsing type (android, desktop, tablet, mobile), you have to go deeper into settings than liked. Personally overall I like chrome more

Nope. It's actually quite efficient. It takes Less RAM, than the xda app. 0.3mb less. And is barely any noticeable impact on battery life. What will kill your battery though is having your screen on though like with any app.

Did they ever solve the issue with Chrome not closing in the background? I always had a problem with it. I just use Dolphin and stock browsers.

Chromium browser for Snapdragon is pretty fast.

Sweet! I might hafta give Chrome a try. Gonna try the ring test (seen in the video on the Dolphin Beta review here) on the 2 and see which is better.

Chrome for sure. I use it on my laptop and pc as well and love how they all work together so easily.

I use it on my laptop also, so I'm thinking that'd be another reason to switch to it.
Just one question though.... how come Chrome is 24 MB but Dolphin is only 10 MB?
