thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try this out.
Yes version 11.1 has zero lag...using currently with thumb keyboard.
This browser works great! No lag at all, and the performance is great.
+1 . speedy typing with opera mobile and thumb keyboard
so, this confirms it's a software problem(no more blue-ish screen and lag in typing mode). Stock and dolphin browser better fix it soon too!

You may be able to extract the Gmail.apk from one of the system dump/ROMs located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1053 then just push it to your /system/app folder
Wow, this browser is blazing fast. Big thumbs up!
(Changed my user-agent to Firefox 5.0.1).
So uh... yes it's fast and smooth but is anyone else getting alot of freeze ups using it? I've had 3 in the last hour while using opera. Tablet will just straight up freeze and I gotta hold the power button to reset.
The one problem I have with this is that when one enters a term in the Google search window, it returns results from Google's mobile search engine, and I can't seem to find any way of fixing this. Really annoying, given that I'm quite sure no one wants the mobile version of anything on a tablet.
EDIT: forgot about this trick - to get around this all one has to do is:
1) go to the standard Google search page (www.google.com)
2) once loaded, long press on the search box on that page; a window will pop up to "add search".
3) just add the search and call it Google, then go to the search window in the browser and select the new Google search engine option you just created.
4) and boom, a nice desktop version of Google search!

Did you change the UA to desktop?

No,which kernel are you on?
Disabling Speed Dial!?!??
...but now my latest issue is trying to disable the stupid Speed Dial page seen at the start of opera. I just want to have a normal home page activated. I did go into about:config and found the default home page entry option, but even though I entered an address and it did save, the browser still goes to Speed Dial at start up. Grrrrr!!

FYI having the browser UA to desktop does not affect the search window. I did edit my post to include a tip on how to get around this though

1) typing is indeed much better. no more blue highlights in text boxes which seems to be the cause.
2) text selection is steadier.. the cursor seems to pick the right position more accurately and without the real annoying cursor jumping.
Dislikes
1) when typing this response.. the typing indicator started right in the middle of the reply text box with no way to put it at the top line.
2) font is smaller than stock browser and dolphin HD
3) scrolling is not as smooth as stock browser and dolphin hd
4) loading pages is slower than stock browser and dolphin hd
5) no full screen viewing
6) bookmarks are not as easy to access like dolphin HD
with all that said.. it is such a relief to be able to type without lag and to be able to set the cursor more accurately. I'll stick to opera for now until dolphin or stock gets rid of the lag. opera's small font is really annoying though. anyone have a fix?

Type opera:config in the address bar. There is a section for fonts, I haven't tried editing it though to change font size.

yea I've tried to up the min font size under user settings, but didn't make a difference. I've set the scale size higher which did increase the size, but cuts off parts of the page at the right hand side now. I'll keep testing different settings
increased the min font size to 13 which seems to help. tried 14, but it made sites look weird and buttons got cutoff. also, it doesn't seem to apply the new font size to everything. it changed xda, but did a Google search, and the results were still the smaller size.
also more dislikes:
1) tab button doesn't work! example - pressing tab to switch text boxes
2) sometimes texts just disappear since for some reason, it forgets to focus on the text box

Yup, just realized this myself. That bites...
Hello,
I'm new on this forum, and I didn't have find answer to my question on the previous thread, so I open a new one.
Since the upgrade from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 (and now on ICS 4.0.3.) (all official ROM for Samsung), one of the functionality of the browser does not work anymore:
Previously with a double tap on the screen, the browser zoom to fix the width of the paragraph and allow scrolling only on the vertical axis, locking the horizontal movement.
Now, the zoom doesn’t fix to the width of the paragraph anymore and scrolling is in both directions… It’s not easy to read a web page with this zooming and scrolling feature.
So first of all, have I missed an option some were? If not, is there application or other browser providing this feature?
Qrun
This is a leaked ICS 4.0.3 can call it beta. Official will be coming next month.
Regarding stock browser. Open Browser - Settings (Menu) ->Advanced -> scroll down to Auto-fit pages . Tick that box.
Restart browser.
The pages should now only able to scroll up & down.
And dont request desktop site from browser to avoid the horizontal scroll issue
Thanks for your answer, it partially fixed the problem of the zoom, but did not solve the problem of scrolling.
I have found a partial solution with Dolphin HD : I use the fit to screen and adress the scrolling on the volume button, but it's not as convenient as the utilisation of the touchscreen.
I have no settings option in the stock browser, I can't use text to reflow on Web pages, I can't clear cache, change default homepage etc.
Running Android 4.1.2 stock XXELLA rom.
Below I've attached a screenshot of the options available.
Can anyone help? Thanks
why not download a browser that has those features like boat:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatbrowser.free
Have you tried scrolling the menu down?
Underneath Brightness there should be Downloads, Print & then Settings.
Cheers.

Can't believe I missed that, its not very intuitive. Didn't expect it to scroll underneath since menu only comes up part way up the screen.
Thanks
Your welcome
Took me a bit to find that out as well, thought they removed settings from stock browser so installed Xscope Pro then one day when messing with stock browser & ticking request desktop site made the menu scroll.
Cheers.
On Chinese 20s rom any app with links and even in chrome it opens up default browser. It will not let me disable it and since I am not rooted I can't delete it. Anyone know how to make chrome be default browser? Never had this issue before to be honest.
Edit forget that I found it in settings eventually.
Go to System settings -> App Management > Default apps ( lower left part of App management screen) -> Tap on the type of app that you want to change as default and set to your preferred choice.
For anyone else who eventually needs to setup non-default apps AS default ones
Hi, I tried to chenge the default browser, but even chrome is thicked in the previous menu appears that browser is system default. Do you know how to proceed in this case?
Same problem here. The procedure described by Neo299 is not working.
Any help is highly appreciated.
