I just emailed the Dolphin HD devs and made them aware that this issue exists. I also let them know that Opera has fixed this issue, so it's not Honeycomb OS specific.. rather a coding issue on their part. I assume they modeled the base of Dolphin after the stock browser, hence why they show the same lag issue and also the same highlighting of the text field/box.. not sure if this blue highlighting is causing the lag, but Opera sure doesn't show this.
If everyone could just please take a min to send a note to the Dolphin devs letting them know also, I'm hoping we could get them to update this browser with the lag fix. I'd rather not use Opera, and I'm sure you prefer Dolphin more as well.
You could easily contact the devs in the Android Market.. within the Dolphin browser app page
Update:
Got a response from the devs. They're looking into this issue now. Hopefully you guys sent them a note also, so we could give this issue some priority
Definitely will do. I use dolphin as my default browser on my phone, but it needs some work on tablets.
I thought more people would actually put the effort to try and get a fix for this browser. I guess people aren't bothered enough by the lag. I hope I'm wrong and that more than two people actually wrote the devs.
Anyway, I've been communicating back and forth with the devs. I sent them here to check out the lag while typing in XDA after they requested sites for examples. They are looking into it, and hopes to have a fix soon. They have version 6 developing, and I saw a note for the beta testers, so hopefully it will come soon.
Thanks. I wrote too, and hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Now Google should also get their act together and fix this as well.
Sent them an email about this.
I've also noticed that when searching for images under google search, the page does not load properly; tiny thumbnails that can be zoomed in, but doesn't interactive properly. The stock browser does a good job at this.
Worse than the keyboard lag is the fact that half of the time when I long press a link and click "open in new tab" it doesn't open the tab. Never had that problem on my phone, just the tab. It got so bad that I went back to the stock browser, even though the keyboard lag is worse there.

it happens on the stock browser too. sometimes the new tab will not open. so dolphin is possibly a shell or uses some common api's that stock uses. unless we get the stock browser fixed i doubt dolphin will be able to fix anything w/o writing their own browser like opera did.

This has not happened to me one time on the stock browser, but happens all the time in dolphin.

I'm a long time fan of Dolphin on the mobile, unfortunately the tablet version user experience it's not even closer
dropped devs an email too
Dolphin Browser Question
Is there anyway to have Dolphin Browser keep the navigation/tab bar at the top to be able to scroll down with the webpage... Its annoying to have to go all the way up to the top of the page just to select another tab or address etc.....
i'd like that too. esp since i'd be able to see if a link opens in a new tab or not without having to hit "menu."
agred. Would love to keep tab bar on top. Without it turning "load new tab in background" on becomes a pain in the ass.
I'm assuming this thread originally started with dolphin hd? Have any of you tried dolphin for pad beta?
for a lagless typing in the Dolphin browser and in any other browser for that matter just use the android keyboard not the Samsung one,I am actually typing in Dolphin right now no lag at all.
Hey,
Is there some way to "force" permanent desktop mode in the stock browser on ICS?. I tried ICS Browser + and setting it to the desktop setting it still rendered mobile sites. The only thing that really made it render desktop sites was toggling "Request desktop site", but that setting is cleared every time the browser closes.
I know there is/was mods out for the older roms for the SGS2, which allowed you to set permanent desktop mode without screwing up facebook. But so far I have not found any for the stock ICS browser.
But does anyone know any, or knows ways I can achieve this WITHOUT downloading another browser.

Have a look in "settings>apllications>`browser´"
There delete the Data once.
If the same thing appears after a new start of browser it is set in settings from Rom or kind of it ...
CHEERS
Hannibal,
are you talking about me having to do it in ICS Browser + or the stock browser.
Still no smart way of making the Stock browser display desktop sites by default?
It's so simple to do on a Note 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35756070&postcount=117

Opera nor Chrome work on our ICS or JB roms yet. Again, its a known driver issue that will be remedied when official ICS hits from Moto. In the meantime, I've found ICS Browser + to be a great alternative as well as Quick ICS Browser.

The fact is that since the facebook app doesnt work well with my internet, id like a browser that let me use facebook as the mobile site, not the touch site(as seen on the normal browser)
If you would know of an app that let me use it as the mobile app it would be greatly appreciated
I got it flashed to cricket and i have only 1x data...thats why browsing with opera was more suitable for my 1x

Both of the browsers I told you about support user agent switching. In the settings of each, there will be a user agent option, switch it to mobile and away you go. You could also try out boat browser. Or better yet, if you want a dedicated Facebook app that loads much faster than the official Facebook app, try out friendcaster.

i just downloaded quick ICS Browser and it did not let me change to mobile, it keeps sending me to the touch site, as i have read the other app is not compatible with jelly bean,
thanks i will try Boat Browser right now, wish it helps and if not im just gonna have to wait for an official release for opera, it was stated that it had jelly bean compatibility on the latest update but i guess it doesnt work 100%

Pretty sure its in the settings somewhere. Have you tried just going to m.Facebook.com then bookmarking that? I know for a fact that boat browser has that option. And opera is compatible will ICS and JB 100 percent. The reason it doesn't work for us is solely due to our lack of proper 2d libs and the way in which opera renders.

i have read that the reason why opera looks different is because it uses a proxy setting, thats why in my school i can use facebook with the campus' wifi, but just cant find another browser that makes facebook look like i want to, and i had tried all those and it stills give me the touch site(m.facebook.com)
the one im looking for, is apparently the old version of Facebook on browsers, like old phones used to have it.
as you can see on the picturees, the one on the ipod(broken screen) is the one im looking for
and the one in my photon is the one that appears on all the rest of the browsers
Hey guys I just flashed mean rom 3.9, not a dirty flash, and i can not seem to get pinch zoom working on chrome browser or the regular browser.
I just tested it and it works, but only on non mobile sites. At first I thought you were right because the first few sites I pulled up took me to the mobile versions and they wouldn't zoom in or out, but then I went to some sites that didn't force mobile sites on me and they zoomed in and out. This was with the stock browser only, I stopped using Chrome on my phone because it was so buggy and wasn't worth the space it occupied. I do like the ICS Browser +, you may want to try that instead of Chrome.

yeah the ics browser, is working out alot better. alot less glitchy then chrome.
Once upon a time, I had a working version of chrome on this tablet, but for some reason, the apk got deleted out of my precious downloads folder where I keep my apks and I ain't got it no mo'.
Does anyone have a link to this or able to pull it from their device with AirDroid or Titanium backup?
And while we are on the topic of running these types of apps, was there ever a run-able Google Now for older devices? I have never seen one. Thanks guys.
did u really manage to run chrome on this?
i never managed to do it. i know nowadays chrome is for android 4. and above only, but in case you make it work - i would like to know how.
sorry i can't help you. i can only wish that someday soon, we'll have a normal android version.
Attached is the "working" chrome. I don't know how it compares to the current version. I'm sure it has bugs and all,but it seems to run, for me. The accomanying widget is disappointing.
I will use it some and see how it does. overall though, i am pleased with the stock browser. shoot me if you like
thanks, i'll give it a shot.
so far every browser i tried was nice at the beginning and after a few days/weeks of use got sluggish. its this damn 3.1 version..
It force closes every time I go into some menu and back out of it is all.
I would just like the stock honeycomb browser with tabs at the top, without this ATT skinning, anyone know how to make that happen?
TIA

You may remove the ATT Skinning, however you have to firstly ROOT the Jetstream, then you will be able to set your own Homepage.
As an alternative to Chrome, you may wish to install FireFox
