So as we all know, that the iPhone Browser Safari offers a way smoother pinch to zoom and scrolling experience than the Android Browser (Especially on singlecore phones). So I head the only reason why the iPhone Browser is smoother is because it just takes a thumbnail instead of live rendering, so you actually only navigate on a thumbnail of the site untill you stop touching the screen.
I was just wondering if it's possible to change the Android Browser so it does the same thing, giving us a smoother experience?
Why hasn't anyone already done it?
Bump I guess

Just wondering what are the benefits from opera 10 and default opera? I've seen a few people that don't like it but what are the actual differences, what's better and what's worse about it and overall is it worth switching to?
I think that Opera Mobile 10 has a better user interface and works faster and smoother than Opera 9.7. Opera 10 is more finger friendly: the drop down lists in Opera 10 are bigger and easier to operate than those in Opera 9.7, which are better used with a stylus. Opera 10 doesn't support pinch to zoom and there is only 1 level of zoom, which means you can't zoom in as much as you want like you can in Opera 9.7. In the past, I have had issues with Opera 10 on my HD2 where it would lock up the phone if I left it running the background.
You can launch both browsers from the Sense UI (assuming they are the default browser), but you can't add favourites in Opera 10 in Sense as far as I'm aware.
Overall, I personally think that Opera 10 is a better browser than 9.7. I don't lament the lack of pinch to zoom, but I do miss being able to zoom in as far as I can, which comes in very handy when viewing these forums on the phone! Because of that and the better integration with Sense, I still use Opera 9.7 as my main browser.

Add pinch to zoom using BsB tweeks....works fine for me.
It has a really nice UI . It's fast.
But you can't use the camera while opera 10 is running in the background , don't know why :/
Lack of pinch to zoom but can be added using bsb tweaks as said above.
Hi forum
I'm loving browsing the web with this tablet but so far every browser I've tried besides the Opera Browser zooms into the content and cuts away almost any background leaving all pictures blurry and fussy looking, especially on sites made for a lower resolution than the tablets own resolution.
Changeing zoom level, text size or auto resize does not fix the issue as this only changes text and not images. Nor does user agent to desktop.
The only browser that displays the content exactly as my computer is the Opera Browser on which all webpages looks just right as well as all images displayed tack sharp eg. 600px images is in fact 600px and not 1280px.
Is there a setting I've missed on this tablet or can you recommend another browser like the Opera. I'm loving the interface on the Dolphin Beta but it's the same issue.
Stock browser, Dolphin, ICS Browser+.
the only browsers I have used that are zoomed in for some reason are Firefox and Chrome.
Using Dolphin here, works perfectly.
Fastest and cleanest browser out there bar none.... always used this on my less beefy devices back in the day because it doesn't use much processor and it's amazingly quick... but if you like bells and whistles? you'll hate this browser... it is a massively stripped down version of an android browser with nothing extra to clog up the works... just straight up fast browsing...
advantage for us? ... It has a great night mode that just flips JavaScript background and text... but leaves photos and windows alone... so it doesn't invert everything , giving a more normal browsing experience in night mode while saving tons of battery on our Amoled screen and going real easy on the eyes for bedtime web surfing.

Hey guys,
I just got my Z4 Tablet last week and so far I really like it and want to keep it. BUT what’s really bugging me is the jittery, choppy scrolling and/or lag when scrolling in the YouTube app, Google Play Store, Google Play Newsstand, Google+ app as well as non gApps like Facebook and Instagram. Basically every vertical scroll movement where content is pulled from the web is not fluid at all. (Here's an example what it looks like, although the video features a Samsung Galaxy S6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPOf0knKmvI )
So my question is: Do you guys have the same problem?
I read and watched a lot of reviews before purchasing the device and everyone’s opinion was pretty much the same: buttery smooth performance, no lag whatsoever. So I’m really curious wether or not it’s just my device or if everyone is experiencing the same. Maybe the gApps aren’t optimized for the Xperia UI (or vice versa?)?
Would be great to get some feedback on this
Greetings!
All Devices have a little lag on fast Scrolling.
It comes from loading Icons and Pictures.
You see after first loading the Pictures no lags more.
No, I have it even when all pictures are loaded. After a reboot the tablet allows smother scrolling.
I also have it even when all pictures are fully loaded, it just becomes a little less I guess. And yes, after a reboot scrolling is actually a bit smoother, but never really like it's supposed to be. My Oneplus One for instance is a lot smoother and never experiences these problems albeit the older and supposedly inferior hardware.
What OS version u have on your Oneplus? To be honest I hope it will be improved by 5.1.
What do you think about Scrolling on Android?
I copy and paste that interesting post from here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/co..._source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body
My question Is: It's possible, to tweak scrolling values? When yes, how could you modify it on Android?

Original Post:
...I am generally very happy with Android's scrolling. I like medium to fast scrolling on Android more than iOS (iOS limits the speed to let things load and keep things smooth), it feels more responsive and when you flick it, you get the speed you expect.
But when it comes to slow scrolling (this is when you're focused and are looking for something) iOS has a small tweak that makes it very satisfying to scroll. And this tweak is with the inertia. On iOS, when you make a small flick, the screen keeps scrolling, it creates a feeling of whatever you're scrolling is "on ice" or like a cube of butter on a smooth hot pan, it keeps moving. This produces a very nice effect. On Android on the other hand, when you make a small flick, the screen stops immediately like there is too much friction underneath. It does not feel as "airy" and "slippery".
I've made a comparison video to highlight the difference:

It would be awesome if Google tweaked slow scrolling to be more like iOS and left fast scrolling as it is. I think it would create a better experience.
