Since I got this table a year ago, browsing in chrome was always kinda wacky.
It is slow and unresponsive, clicking on links takes forever.
Anyone else? Is this an issue with the tablet itself? Any fix?
Hi, was my problem too, no i have downloaded xposed module app setting, configurated chrome to screen 320x480 (for use phone interface that is, really strange.. very faster than tablet version) and.. voilà.. now chrome is really fast and for open only desktop site use this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811101.
You could try downloading the Chrome Samsung support library from the Play store. I've found it really improves Chrome performance on Samsung devices.

Are there any hardware accelerated browsers available for Android currently, other than the Samsung browser? I'm not sure whether the Opera Mobile 10.1 beta uses it, it was talked about a lot months ago but talk of such has since stopped. Additionally, Opera Mobile hasn't been updated since mid-November, and still has a lot of quirks (scrolling in general isn't optimized, text input boxes/soft keyboard behavior is annoying, incorrect page rendering etc). But either way, general panning and pinch-to-zoom is still noticeably smoother than with the stock browser, and it's got me looking for other options, which I can't find.
From what I know, Stock, Miren, Firefox, Dolphin, and Skyfire all don't use it either.

Stock Sense browser is indeed accelerated, Dolphin HD is as well. Skyfire is in a way, just not on the phone side of things in that all the web pages are rendered on the server side. Pretty sure Opera uses it both in the Mobile and Mini versions though I'm like you and hate the quirky behavior of it.
It's not lag its stutter , thats how I would like to put it .
Apps like Play News Stand , Play Store and Even Firefox browser , they all seem to stutter when Scrolling through the app .
To an extent , I could say I have a unstable internet connection but its still fast at least 3 mbps . But I dont understand why should these apps stutter when images are loading or text is clearing out ( Firefox does that ) , I mean when ever it loads it could load quietly like fade in .. why halt for split seconds while scrolling . This is definately not a Lag issue for this tablet but it seems that there is a compatibility issue cuz my S4 does not really stutter as much with the same apps .
Anyone have a clue as to what could it be , any way to load the images gently without affecting scrolling ..
Also a similar thing is seen in the launcher , when connecting to WiFi , when it pops up a toast saying its connected to XYZ Wifi network ... The launcher scroll stutters for a split second ..
Any clues or fixes ?
Appart from this, the tab is smooth in non network based apps .. like sketchbook pro etc

In my experience, this sort of stutter isn't related to any tab or phone be it android or otherwise. It simply happens because with apps like Play Store and News Stand, all of the information is not pulled at once. As in, the entire set of information is not loaded, and it is loaded when you scroll down, adding to the "stutter". It has happened to me in every app that does not fully preload on any OS. As far as browser is concerned, I don't use Firefox on Android but UCBrowser and BoatBrowser have the fastest scrolling, and zooming speed I have found. For me, BoatBrowser seems to reduce this preload stutter the most.
Pre-Load !

Got the T-Mobile m9. Why is google chrome so laggy when scrolling up and down pages?
Play store tells me to log in but it's supposed to automatically right?
And sense home always quits when in the themes app.
Any idea please how to fix?
I'd use the HTC Internet browser from the market, as Chrome is just laggy. This phone is laggier though than the M7 and M8 browsing the Internet so prepare for that if you've used either of those, but don't worry if you've used a Samsung as it's faster than that.
As for google play store, i'd clear data on the app in the app manager and see if that solves it
Sense home issue is a mystery but try uninstalling any updates and installing them again, and if you can stomach losing your desktop icons, theme, font's etc, clear data on the themes app / htc home app too.
I find Chrome very laggy too. I switched to Opera which seems better. Not sure if it's something to do with the 810.
Thanks.
How can I import from chrome to the HTC browser?
Also why are all games crashing on my m9 alot? Ideas? Didn't have it this bad on my s5. Thinking to return my m9.
And the HTC keyboard is horrifically swift key is too. Samsung for me has the best by far.
I have a web page slideshow I display on a 40" TV at my business, and am hoping to use my fire stick instead of my laptop to run it.
I've sideloaded a few browsers and they display the slideshow, but not full screen.
I've tried Dolphin & Firefox, but can't see if it's possible to go full screen and tried a couple of "Fullscreen Browser" apps XYZ-Apps version ran the slideshow poorly and has a welcome message bar I cant make go away. The Klurige version has no way to enter the URL.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
try the app "rotate screen orientation" and see if that helps. it sets all apps to landscape mode.

I would like to know which version of the Opera Web Browser are you currently using on your FireTV?
Are you using the latest Opera 35.0.2070.100283 (Full Version) or Opera Mini 15.0.2125.100342 (Beta)?
I am using the Opera Browser not mini my version atm is 34.0.0.2044.98679 so would be version before that I guess but its fast full screen and has good features. Funny cause I like using firefox on my kindles but opera seems a nice fit for the ftv.

Thanks for your quick reply!
Just wondering if anyone use Opera Browser. I switched to this browser since it does a nice job with word wrap and formats the text into a column that makes it perfectly readable. Dolphin had this until the Nougat update and now it lost it's word wrap abilities.
However with the Moto Z Play whenever I use Opera if I try to switch to a link to fast or do too many presses the app seems to lock up or take it's time to catch up. If it can't catch up it then pops up a screen to either Wait, restart, or shut down the browser.
I am trying to figure out if it's my phone or just the Opera browser that is causing all these problems.
Anyone else have these problems with Opera?
I have a Pixel XL which seems to run Opera a little bit more smooth and doesn't have this problem. However I want to use the Moto Z Play due to the excellent battery life. The Pixel while nice and fast and excellent camera just doesn't have the Moto z play's battery life which I need more than the speed.
I occasionally use Opera. Haven't noticed this behavior.
i get this a lot with Opera on the Priv with certain websites (Amazon Music is a trouble spot), but i haven't had any issues on the Z Play.
I would suggest getting in contact with Opera and see if they can help.
Across all my devices Opera is very inconsistent.It either eats up all available RAM or is just plain crap as a browser .
