I could not get it to work but double tab on screen. Anyone has this issue?
I can't get it to either.. Too bad we can't use AOSP browser..
Yup same thing here, used Opera instead.
Same. Chrome sucks and the aosp browser isn't in the stock rom. I don't care about flash but chrome just is a complete mess.

New update fixes it, but turns off Flash. Update with caution.

Any modified APKs around that allows one to install it on GB? I'm staying away from ICS until the source comes out. Too many problems woh my attempts. I miss Chrome a lot though as I have tons of bookmarks from my desktop on it.

So, does Chrome not support Flash? I went to watch a video on my phone, and it just said "looking for plugin". Videos work fine in stock browser...

Chrome works perfectly fine for me on CM9 A5.
However, I does not have flash, so just a heads up.

Chrome does not support flash and Google has no plans to change that.

Because adobe isn't updating flash for mobile platforms after ICS.
That's right, I forgot about that. Thanks.

Chrome has become my daily browser since I started using Dolphin with my Nexus One.
With the last update for Chrome and FF09, it's the smoothest browser I've used on Android. However, there are still instances where scrolling is jerky and sometimes scrolling stops working for half a minute. It seems like it only happens when I try to scroll while a page hasn't finished loading, but all of the browsers I've tried seem to have issues with scrolling an incomplete page. Closing and reopening the tab will fix the jerky scrolling.
Chrome also freezes on me forcing me to force stop it through settings -> applications. I cannot reliably reproduce this problem and it is annoying, but the benefits of having access to the open tabs on my computer on my phone outweigh this problem.
I do wish Google would iterate the Chrome beta app as fast as they iterate the desktop version of Chrome beta because I'm assuming they mean for this browser to become to default one on Android and jerky scrolling and freezes is pretty bad.
I absolutely do not know which Chrome people are using that they find "buttery smooth" and "fast". It is a terrible laggy and crappy browser on my end. The last update killed it for me where it only launches to a white screen and just freezes. If and when it does decide to work properly, it's stutters and jib-jabs when scrolling, no flash, just all around terrible. No wonder it's surname is still BETA.
Dolphin browser (mini or HD) puts it to shame, really.
You can also try firefox... It's very smooth, and untill now, I didnt find any problem
I like it but I never use it. No flash is... well, no flash. No plugin support like the rest of em either. you'd think with google being the og devs for android. Could make it all work out.

Chrome is only availible on android 4.0 and up. Are you on gb?

This was posted by a user called Glace at the Google Play:
I was excited by all the features and customization of this browser, but using SwiftKey Keyboard, inserting a space into a textarea scrolls the page down and doesn't insert the space. I even tried copying a space and pasting it in and it did the same thing. That makes this browser useless for my purposes, which is a shame.

I expirience the same problem on Paranoid Android 2.13 with both Swype and the stock keyboard. On my Galaxy S with Android 4.0 does that bug not exist.
Could somebody else test if the could reproduce the problem? Please post what ROM you use.

Btw, other than that, best browser from all that I tested! And I think I tested nearly all
Same problem here. I messed around with the settings a little bit but found no such solution to the problem.

I've been trying this browser, seems to work well. I keep going back to Firefox, but this one is still on my N7, that's a good sign! Not rooted, so hopefully none of the keyboard issues posted here.
Same problem on Kaos Droid ROM. Shame.

A lot of times when i download things it downloads then normally. But when it finishes it will most of the time be unsuccessful so i have to repeatedly download things and it blows when it's a Rom or something. Anyone else having this issue? Way to fix this? Running aokp jb build 4

Provide some more information? Which browser or what other program do you use for downloading? I remember Chrome had problems in the past...

go to manage apps, download manager, now clear its data. that should fix it for you.
I did change browsers and it seems like it's not having the same problem. I also did the clear cache on download manager, thank ya all. I'll report if there are any more issues

I have this problem on chrome and stock, downloads always work perfectly from dolphin though.

Even i have this problem on chrome. I use firefox for downloads.
It is really painful after you wait for the timer to expire and enter the unreadable captha and then face unsuccessful download.
I am not trying to start a "what is the best browser" war here.
I am using chrome right now but, today I noticed it is seriously draining my battery. I am going turn sync off on it hoping that helps but, I doubt that will do a whole lot.
I would like to know what everyone is using and if it drains the battery a lot or not.

I've always used stock, seems to have most features I need and it seems much faster than the others most of the time, especially when compared to chrome. Chrome's always seemed really slow for me at least. Stock doesn't seem to kill the battery much either.

I tend to stick with Chrome. Have used the stock browser or Firefox when Chrome doesn't display something quite right in mobile or desktop mode.
Have always used Opera, never any problems. Use Lightning sometimes but still like Opera best.

I generally use the stock browser, but occasionally use Chrome. The stock browser seems to have the best luck with displaying pages correctly.
everytime I try chrome, I'm reminded why I don't use it on android. Much slower loading of most web pages, web pages load weird, etc. As long as a stock browser can pull my chrome desktop bookmarks, that is what I use. Not to mention the stock browser has incognito mode.
Yeah been trying out Firefox and the stock browser lately. I like both of them more than chrome. They seem faster. Not sure how I like Firefox's tab thing though.

What browser do y'all use with your shiny m8? I disabled the stock one and am using chrome. But I wonder.....what if there are better
Also given the lack of ROM development what ROM are y'all on?
I'm unrooted stock sense but 99% sure I'm going to go with a gpe conversion.
I've tried plenty of browsers but I end up coming back to chrome in the end.
At the moment I'm running ViperRom and elementx kernel.

The new Javelin browser is amazing and worth taking a look at. I am very satisfied with it!
Another vote for stock chrome. Syncing your bookmarks across all devices is just too nice.
+1 for stock Chrome.
I've been a Dolphin user since it was first developed, but Chrome just runs so well on this device that there's no way I'm going back to Dolphin now.
