Here's the issue and it's the same on both my N7 2013 and N10. Ever since upgrading to 4.3, the AOSP browser becomes unresponsive while surfing the xda site and some other sites too, but mostly xda. It happens on stock rom and kernel as well as custom roms with stock kernels and custom kernels. Some roms will have a pop up telling me the site has become unresponsive. Some roms the browser simply stops registering touches as in I can no longer click on link and etc. It's not instant but only after like 5 to 10 mins of being on this site. I'm not trashing this site or the tab or anything. Just reporting my experience. Otherwise the tab has been fabulous!
I'm having the same problem with Dolphin and Chrome with the XDA site. I haven't noticed any particular problems with other sites.
Hi:
I find that the XDA site is completely unusable on the Nexus 7 2013. The higher resolution screen cannot refresh quickly enough to keep up with the continual flashing block ads. Trying to select a sub-forum is an exercise in futility as pointing ones finger toward a link, only results in the page moving elsewhere.
I surf XDA with my Nexus 7 2012, also running 4.3. XDA's excessive flashing block ads are incompatible with the Nexus 7 2013.

Have you tried changing the theme at the bottom left?
I'm having the same problem with Chrome on my N7. I think it's a browser issue unrelated to JB 4.3 because through the browsing XDA on my desktop does not hang or freeze (much) the browser is prone to freezes and crashes in general. It started a few months ago as I recall and has gotten worse.

Interesting so we've beta testing their website. Well at least we narrowed down the issue. Will see how things are.
I'm having this issue too. It loads way too slow.

Hi:
Thanks for the useful suggestion. The default, XDA 2013 Beta 1024 refreshes several times a minute, completely useless. XDA 2013 refreshes once a minute, still too often. XDA 2010 seems to work best, though still subject to freezing and crashing. Once you set the option, XDA seems to remember your preference. At least I can use my Nexus 7 2013 to view XDA now, albeit still with difficulty.
I know that XDA has to pay for all the bandwidth but the hardware of mobile devices can't keep up with the over-the-top machine gun like flashing block ads. Are we supposed to only view the forum on pc and laptops with advanced graphics cards? There has to be some middle ground. Come on XDA, it shouldn't be no ads or ads that prevent users from viewing the site.

Just trying to get some feedback on the the launch of the chrome beta and how it compares to the stock ICS browser. Even after the 4.0.4 gapps update Im feeling they're pretty similar in speed. Overall Im not not yet sure which one I prefer. Hopefully your insight will help me out.

The UI/UX is far superior, but it lacks critical features to make it a replacement - at least for me.
We'll see in a few months when a better developed version comes out.
I heard that Chrome is a good browser. I think i will download it once flash gets support on it. Still may give it a go than delete it afterwards. I have the newest GAPPS though so i do notice a difference in speed as far as the stock browser.
no full screen and hide status bar was a dealbreaker. hopefully it will be added in later.
The UI is good, love how the tabs work, and the speed is okay.
I notice that some pages will automatically zoom in, then zoom out, and then zoom in again while the page is loading, without me ever touching the screen. Very distracting.
Also sometimes the zoom goes too far in.
And I can't render pages in desktop mode.
I probably need to wait for another beta release or two before it's ready for me.
I've noticed it to be a bit more of a battery hog compared to stock browser. Once they add support for extensions and some more features I will switch.

Chrome will not be getting flash.

Hoping for improvements in the laggy typing (esp in URL bar) and "request desktop site" to show up then it'll be 100% primary.
I'm sticking with the stock browser, more than enough for me. I tried out chrome, wasn't a big fan but I don't hate it though. I didn't like was the look of it, it was disappointing.

I noticed that too :/ but hopefully that'll be improved
I like it overall, but I think i like the stock browser a little more
comparing a beta with a out of beta software is like comparing a pair of chop stick with toothpick.
as of right now, i set chrome as default because it is faster than the stock browser. chrome offer keyboard prediction, which hands down a win for me.

I still like dolphin hd best. Stock + as a close second. Chrome is nice for a first offering.
I personally can't stand Dolphin HD. I used to use it a lot back in the day, but now it just seems too bloated and laggy. I really like Chrome beta, though I'll stick with stock ICS Browser (especially with the 4.0.4 update) for now.
I did notice that Chrome beta cannot handle proxies. I can use the Wifi at work just fine with ICS Browser (I have the proxy info entered in the System Wifi settings) but Chrome beta cannot seem to use those same settings, so it just fails and gives a generic error message that is actually meant for the desktop version of the browser.
I'm really digging chrome so far. Tab handling is awesome and so much better than stock. Directly syncing open tabs from chrome on the computer is awesome. Syncing all bookmarks from chrome is awesome.
The only thing missing is flash but who cares. It is used little enough these days and I don't usually need to see those pages on my phone anyway.

Exactly.
I haven't run into any bugs yet, and it syncs. I even switched back to Chrome from Firefox on the desktop because I want tab sync (and Firefox Mobile just doesn't seem usable to me).
I really like Chrome but if I want flash I have to use stock browser. I think stock browser is excellent too though..

I'm definitely loving chrome . Already am using it as my default browser. Its fast and pinch to zoom is butter. The tabs are fun little add on too, I like the whole 3d effect. The only things I miss from stock browser are the on screen controls and ability to request desktop site easier. Even though it doesn't really bother me to scroll down the page to get the desktop site, and then from what I've noticed , once you click on desktop site for one website , every website after that automatically loads in desktop form , which I think is great. I think for the initial beta release Google has done a great job. Definitely like how it dominates all the HTML 5 tests too

Funny you mentioned this. Just experienced what you posted about this morning. Liked a few things in the app on my way to work. Once I popped open the desktop site, all the likes are gone. Looks to me like the mobile app doesn't do a thing.

I started to notice where I tap on the screen isn't where the Note registers even with the pen. It doesn't do this all the time but when I'm browsing, I would end up "clicking" on the wrong link. When I'm using adobe reader, the pen works great and accurate when I'm highlighting and underlining. Works fine in candy crush. It's when it comes to a busy screen and need to be accurate as to where I "click", the Note just give me attitude. Is this a defective item? Seems worse on landscape too.

It should be fixed in the beta version of chrome (android).
Here is a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
Chrome for Android is a joke. Google should be ashamed of that mess. It's amazing that OEMs stock browser and even the AOSP browser puts Chrome to shame. Google really needs to double down on it.
Are you using a cover that has a magnet? if so try to pull it out off the cover and try again. I notice a difference after taking it out from my casing(I didn't know it could cause this problem) I also didnt know that there is no option to calibrate where as my previous palm pilots and treo. Wish they could have added that option to calibrate.
Chrome's new hide the tabbar behaviour is responsible for the offset issue in Chrome, and is fixed in Chrome 29 (currently in beta).
In other apps I have experienced no offset or accuracy issue. I believe there's a guide in the forum about tuning the S-Pen by popping the button cover off and monkeying.
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?

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!

I always felt Web browsing was too sluggish on my T800. It even felt felt like pages would take a long time to load... as if my internet was slow.
I saw in another thread someone mentioned that the stock browser performed better for them, so I gave it a shot. Man, what a difference. It is VERY noticeably more responsive. Smooth scrolling, pages load faster (though I still feel not fast enough... no idea why).
Why does chrome perform so poorly on this tablet? Or is it that the stock browser is just that much better?
I wish I could import my browsing history, bookmarks, etc from chrome. Main reason why I used it.
Anyone else noticed how bad chrome runs on this tablet?

I'm just as disappointed as you especially when chrome is a Google product. Lately I've been using Opera for tablet and it's much better then all of the other ones. There are some minor bugs but nothing i can't live with.
It is rather slow on this tablet.
The thing the stock browser does best is embedded videos. It is almost at PC level performance. In Chrome or Dolphin forget having a positive experience. In Dolphin videos take 10 seconds to load then constantly buffer.

Hmmm. I'm running Chrome Beta as well and I guess it seems to load pages faster. The way that Chrome does bookmarks continues to annoy. 3 clicks. Every time I want to access a bookmark it takes 3 clicks, menu, bookmarks, bookmark. Could Google literally make it any harder? Neater Bookmarks which works so well on Chrome desktop isn't available on Android. Also I can't even add a new bookmark to my desktop bookmarks from my tablet. And in Kit Kat Google removed the ability to sync the stock browser with Chrome bookmarks. No worries, want to just import your bookmarks into the stock browser? Sorry you can't do that now either. It's as if instead of fixing Chrome they are trying to force us into using it by breaking everything else.
How about a bookmarks sidebar Google? I mean would it KILL you?
Don't you just hate it when that nifty software "upgrade" breaks all of your favorite features?
Chrome keeps your browser history in sync on all devices, so no need for bookmarks, manual syncing, whatsoever.

That is if you want to use Chrome. Before KitKat you could sync Chrome bookmarks with the stock browser. No more. Also you cannot add a bookmark to your desktop synced Chrome bookmarks. Try it. You can't. So so lame.
Just tested. Samsung tablet hack doesn't make stock Chrome any faster. Does seem to speed up Beta a bit. Considering all of the other hassles Chrome browser delivers almost not worth it.

Atlas shows promise but a couple things make it not yet competitive with the stock browser:
1) It needs a dedicated bookmarks button on the menubar. As far as I can tell you have to click menu then bookmarks and then your bookmark. 3 steps just like Chrome. I could have missed the dedicated button if there is one.
2) The bookmarks tree collapses every time you select a bookmark. It should reopen to the last folder you had open so you don't have to drill down each time.
3) Doesn't seem to play embedded videos yet. It will play them on the YouTube website but could not get them to launch in other websites.
4) It is a little slower to load Web pages with Javascript enabled than stock browser IMHO.
Nice start but not a stock replacement yet.

As far as I can tell the only browser which allows for complete unlimited bookmarking across all platforms is Maxthon. They have a nice desktop browser and seamlessly syncs over the cloud with your Android Maxthon. Also easy to import bookmarks from other platforms. The ONLY thing that makes me nuts about Maxthon is that every time you choose a new bookmark from your bookmark tree it opens it in a new tab so you end up with 80 tabs open. There is no way to turn this off and no reason for it. It is like they created the perfect browser then left one insanely stupid thing right in the middle of it, like a supermodel with broccoli in her teeth. Tons of people complain about this on their message boards but they never change it. For some reason THEY think it's a good idea. It's not.
Anyway for multiplatform bookmark syncing and fast browsing you can't beat Maxthon - just that one damned stupid "feature" makes it just a little less that perfect.
If you try this use the Fast version, not the Tablet version. Embedded videos are super fast using this.
UPDATE. Damn this latest version of Maxthon BLAZES.
