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.

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.
Sv: Gnexus simply can't handle chrome browser?
Chrome all the way here. No problem

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.

better is the one that YOU enjoy using the most
Try for yourself and find out. I prefer Chrome.
I like chrome better personally. It does what I need it to, seemingly faster (to me at least)
Slight off topic, whats up with chrome and the stock android browser? Aren't they both developed by Google? Or is it like, Chrome is the Google browser ported to android, and the stock one is the one that the Android team specifically works on.
Honestly I don't understand why they are keeping both at the same time.. now that Chrome is stable (enough) and has integration with other devices tabs and bookmarks... I don't see why use the stock browser anymore.
Stock browser supports flash. Pretty sure chrome doesnt
I use chrome mostly I just wish they would add quick controls from the stock browser to chrome, I'm a big fan of that wheel lol!
I love chrome using it on my galaxy nexus as well have never even opened stock browser since chrome came out
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Now that chrome is almost stable,i'm using it over the stock
chrome--like the animations,UI,velocity to opens tabs\sites,global rendering and the ability to connect\sync same google accounts on phones,pc's,tablets etc..with so easy
dislike micro-lags in page's scrolling,more than with stock browser and no flash support (that's why i sometimes surfin' web with stock browser,a good compromise now on JB)
I'm a chrome fanboy usually and installing chrome was the first thing I did on my nexus never really look at stock browser. Now I browsed through the same set of sites first on chrome and after that on stock browser. It seems like stock is a little bit better with reloading pieces of the page when you zoom in and out a lot and scroll to areas where you haven't been before. Stock to me seems to react a bit faster. Maybe because it got an overhaul with Jelly Bean to and now it's JB optimized. Maybe this will change with future versions of Chrome.
Honestly I thought Chrome was the stock browser for jb. Pete's nightlies come with Chrome only.

I honestly hate Chrome on Android, love the desktop version.
The mobile version takes up way too much memory, sucks battery from my experimenting and just overall seems like a rushed product.
The JB stock browser was pleasant to use but it's going to take one hell of a browser to get me off of Dolphin HD.
I really like stock browser, but starts in jb i noticed that browser sync always gives me error. I think that's a hint from Google to move to chrome

Since Dolphin Browser HD recently dropped support for Flash on all Jelly Bean devices, including the Nexus 7, people have been needing the old version of Dolphin Browser HD for use with Flash. Well, here you are.
APK Download: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201206/Dolphin_Browser_HD_8.5.1.apk
If you need Flash Player, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771463
Thanks
Thanks OP, very kind of you!
*Edit - Although Flash seems to work fine, when trying to go full screen it crashes out immediately. Currently Firefox does not have this problem.
This is great. I miss the pinch to zoom and the more functional address bar though. Not a poblem.
Anyway to tell the Play Store not to update it?

As of right now, no. I guess that's the price to pay to have Flash working on it though.
Maybe if everyone keeps giving it 1 star for disabling Flash, Dolphin will get the message and add it back.

Thanked
Did this yesterday and it's been smoooooth sailing so far. I'm new to Android and this made things a ton easier. :good:
I wonder if there is a way to change the apk or program to make it think your are running ICS so it still enables flash, besides editing the build.prop. From the Google Play update log it sounds like its merely disabling flash on JB while still allowing it to work on ICS/GB, so the flash supporting part of Dolphin is still there, its just being disabled.
I've been using XScope Browser.
Seems like Flash support is a little bit better on that one, but I haven't tested it extensively. Amazon Instant Video can be played full-screen, which is nice. I tried that with Dolphin, but it kept crashing.

More newness, and newer moreness.
my phone turned into a hot coal after installing this.
first time i launched it it was acting all weird and when i looked at running apps, there was actually TWO instancse of this running and i couldnt stop the process from one of them no matter what.
so i rebooted and everything was fine, runs smooth and fast.
however, i went to charge my phone on my computer USB and the thing almost burned my hand. it also had only charged 1% in the last hour.
i messed around with the phone a bit and finally killed the dolphin app.
about 5 minutes later i picked the phone up again (still on usb) and it was back to normal; not hot at all.
YMMV
Dolphin beta shouldn't do that. Wait let me rephrase that. Any kind of browser shouldn't make your phone so hot that it will burn you. I'm using it right now and it's perfectly fine.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
dolphin was actually on this page at the time LOL
i should point out the phone did not get hot with dolphin installed and running until i plugged it into my computer via usb.
let me try firing up dolphin again and plugging it into the PC and see if i can recreate the issue

I started it with Jetpack and realized it was just opening regular Dolphin browser (non-beta). So I uninstalled regular Dolphin and tried opening Jetpack and it tells me "Dolphin Jetpack must be used with Dolphin Browser v9.0 and above."
dolphin was clearly the problem. I was talking on the phone and my phone got super hot. I just uninstalled it until they fix the problems

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.
