I'm using Chrome beta and i have noticed a few issues. The one which is driving me crazy is the integration with the native YouTube app, i mean, there's no integration or i can't find how to get it. Videos are not in HD and there is no fullscreen option. Any idea?

Just relax its still in beta. I'm sure Google will fix that issue in on of there updates

WHy are you using the website instead of the app. I am just wondering.
the app is super slow on my device for some reason. The website on Chrome loads almost instantaneously for me.
If you set your youtube account to use HTML5 rather than Flash, the new Chrome Beta plays everything in the Browser if you prefer that.
This can be seen with links to any apps. Clicking on an address in search results also uses browser based Maps instead of Maps app. You can star this bug here:

hello guys, i was wondering what the best browser for this phone was. which one is the smoothest with private browsing. thanks in advance...
try dolphin hd browser very nice smooth and awesome if you hit the back button it display a window if you wanna erase your history etc..
I like the stock browser...I downloaded the ics browser from the market yesterday and its pretty nice too. I just like the stock look of the browser. Other browsers I have tried just seem to clutter up the screen with too many options.
I use Dolphin HD as well; it's very smooth.

I played with a lot of browsers. stock is actually very good and fast.
opera mobile and dolphin are both great browsers. another great browser is boat browser. Dolphin however gave me some problems.

Dolphin HD
GT-N7000
Dolphin HD is a very good browser, also gives you an option to close out of the browser and clear the cache and history. I recommend this.
Dolphin for me
Maxthon is best browser in my view. You may check which 1is best at: http://html5test.com

chrome beta on ICS is good otherwise skyfire or dolphin hd
I prefer Opera Mini.
Opera mobile is the best, hands down :thumbdown:

Try Quick ICS on Google Play Store. The real feature in this browser is to be able to customize the Quick Controls (read in that description). This is by far truly the fastest way to browse -with one hand!. I got mine customized to open, close tabs, launch bookmarks, go back & forward, reload page and manage tabs. With just the thumb, I can browse with ease. Another cool think is to setup upper / lower quick controls. On the upper, I have the "change browser mode" to switch between desktop and android - helps in loading certain pages that won't load properly with android mode. And on the lower controls, I have enabled Find and Invert screen. The invert helps reading at night / in bed. and of course the find to search stuff on the page.
Check it out. Plus, it is free.
Dolphin HD has been good for me. It has crashed a few times though where I've had to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it working again. Mind you, this was on a custom ROM (Beastmod 4.2) and I'm now on ICS via Darkside and have had no problems with it as of yet. I like the plugins that you can install such as the PDF saver and what not.
Many browsers can go from mobile/Android view to desktop not just dolphin.
Opera mini is fast but some things do not work fully because i think it's optimized for mobile viewing.
The fastest i think goes to boat browser. You guys can check that out. They copied dolphin a bit. The most fully functional would be opera mobile, but is slow at times. Dolphin is a great browser too, but there are times it does not load pages correctly or download correctly otherwise i would definitely go with them.

Yeah I switch from opera to dolphin and viceversa constantly.
Opera = almost 100% functional, but slow, ugly interface (having to tap 3 times to switch tabs for example)
Dolphin = Smooth, pretty and fast interface, but sometimes doesn't load pages correctly. (like pages w/ animated gifs)

Chrome seems very buggy for me. It is very slow on some websites like Google Groups - and also when I try to just search in Google the input always gets screwed up... Was wondering if there are other good browser alternatives. I use ICS Browser+ on my HTC One X and really like it - but it doesn't seem to work in the Nexus 7, immediately crashes every time I open it.
Thanks guys!

Dolphin Browser HD is the best on Android, Opera isn't bad either.
What about Chrome. It Works fine and gast. And maxthon mobile Works also great.

I'm liking Firefox Beta. Newest beta added tablet support and does flash.
The aosp browser is by far the best. Google made a mistake by not including it. Chrome is crappy in comparison.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I personally like the AOSP browser and is the only browser I have on my tablet. Quick with some good features.

Boat Browser is better than all. Loads pages fastest....leaves dolphin in the dust.
I switched from Boat to Xscope on my phone and player... hope it works as well on my N7 coming Monday. If Chrome doesn't do it for me (like pinch/zoom Facebook mobile pages), I'll be quickly adding Xscope.
Dolphin HD and Xscope Pro are the 2 best browsers for me. They usually leapfrog each other with features and UI enhancements. Right now, however, the latest update has made Xscope Pro unbeatable IMO. It also supports Flash which Dolphin HD foolishly disabled. This is Android on a Nexus people......we will use Flash till it truly disappears.
Don't like Dolphin. I use Opera on my mobile, but Chrome on my Nexus 7. Loving the magnify function on small objects, sync and the auto fill.
I have the AOSP browser, Chrome browser,Dolphin Browser HD & Xscope browser all on my N7 and use them all for different things because all of them have their strengths & weaknesses. It's not like back in the G1 or Nexus One day's where we were limited with such a small amount of space and it's easy to just make a Browsers folder and use them all for different thing's

Chrome lags like no other. Also freezes a lot causing me to close the tab. Also the constant refreshing when you're multitasking is annoying

Bought Xscope 7.14 today and have a few problems with it. It's GREAT on desktop sites, but not great on mobile sites (not nearly as good as Chrome). It's my favorite browser on my Optimus and my Galaxy Player, not so much on N7.
The other problem I noticed today is it won't let me do anything to imported bookmarks. It has an "edit", but I can't change the name or delete it, or create a home screen shortcut.
If I use the system create shortcut, it only shortcuts to Chrome, and won't open Xscope through it (main purpose is to open an html file on SD card). If anyone knows how create an Xscope shortcut, or edit a bookmark name, or pinch-zoom a mobile page (like Facebook), please let me know. Thanks!
edit: Figured out how to edit/add/rename bookmarks, real pain, but once bookmarks are tweaked, other aspects of Xscope make it worth it.
1. To add a bookmark: Scroll to bottom (which is easy since you just need to double tap near bottom), open history, click star on one(s) you want to add.
2. To delete: scroll to bottom, select edit, click title, if a menu appears, click title again, then you can delete; you can also edit title there,but not URL
3. No way to add a Bookmark to home screen, tried 5 or 6 bookmark apps, no go... Xscope needs to add this feature!
I like the tab swiping, and with text set at 150%, mobile pages are OK, but starting to prefer Desktop pages (where there are no pinch-zoom issues). Flash seems to play smoother than in Boat.
Personally ive found Opera Mobile and Opera Mini to be my main powerhouses.
flash
sync
mini for tethering
mobile for wifi
simple
fast
give it a check, its my driver
the one thing that always takes me back to using chrome is that zoom feature where if the are a lot of links in a small area on the page it auto magnifies the area and let's you choose the right link. I constantly get sent to the wrong pages with any other browser I've tried.
Any other browser do this?

Hi, I've been using Firefox since I got my Ion back in June 2012, but lately I feel it has gotten a lot slower and it went from crashing the home screen every once in a while to every time I use the browser. By crashing the home screen I mean forcing all the icons and widgets to reload once I exit the browser.
So I'm curious as to what browsers are you guys using now.
The stock browser is very good, fast and has some options
I use it with wifi networks. For 3G I use opera mini

Stock browser.
I was using Chrome and I liked it a lot, but suddenly, after one update, performance dropped horrendously. It was when they introduced smooth scrolling.
Stock browser...its the best!!

Chrome is good because of connectivity with pc and syncing but it's kinda slow compared to dolphin or stock. And also chrome doesn't support fullscreen which is a negative for me.
Mostly I use dolphin and its really good and now there is a plugin for connectivity with chrome and syncing tabs between pc and phone. Whenever I am on 3g I use opera mini, it is really good with data usage and pages open faster because they are compressed.

Dolphin Browser,because it was (again WAS) a perfect and fast browser that I ever had when first time installing it...now,after a ton of update for the browser,it occasionally suddenly crash...I can only bear with it since it was a perfect browser for me

ICS+ browser.
Opera mini & stock browser.
Naked browser
I use ICS Browser +
Based on stock Browser, it feels lightweight and fast, but with many extras and an intuitive handling.
Those that say chrome, cos of the sync with pc, you do know the stock browser does that as well don't you? I found chrome And stock almost identical apart from a few ui differences

Hi I've recently bought a ze551ml, now I've problem to watch in fullscreen a flash video(the app crashes), i'm using dolphin as browser, with my old phone (huawei p6) i have not problems. I'm using the stock version. Thanks for the eventual answers.
Hi,
Could you try other browser?
Dolphin Browser makes my Galaxy S4 hung several times, ended up with Out of Memory killer executed and either my phone restarted or all my apps were killed.

If it doesn't work with Dolphin, try Firefox. For me, YouTube works fine with Firefox (with phony installed and set to Desktop).
You can also try Puffin Browser, as that works as well.
As usual, YMMV.
I use dolphin and dolphin jetpack, with flash installed as well of course.
