Hi everyone, I was previously on ICS Crumble (Android 4.0.4) and I tried the Chrome browser and it open fine but when I tried to load a web page all it displays is a white page. And I'm now on Supermaster34s CM9 and its still the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.
chrome needs hw accleration and no ics roms for the gplayers have hw acceleration yet
Hw acceleration is needed for apps like chrome , and that feature is not yet supported on our players (yet).
Use doplhin beta..i have chrome on tablet but dolphin beta is faster and better.

I have tried dolphin and dolphin beta, and while it is true beta has exellant html5, they seem to lag pretty bad, at least on GB. Anyone have a similar experience? Sometimes I think my device is cursed with things like this that no one else seems to have.

I have another device with JB and i tested chrome ,stock JB browser and dolphin beta with different benchmarks like sunspider and Stock JB browser is fastest...and chrome worst ..Stock JB is such a good browser and doplhin beta is i thing closest of other browsers...and yes it works not so good on GB but on ICS works much faster.
yeah, i dont think any current ROMs have hw acceleration yet

JackpotClavin's CM9 now has HW acceleration but has mandatory software keys.
I'll see if I can get Reuben's help to make a fix for that (beaver) dam mandatory nav bar. He made a patch a while ago that disables hard keys, so maybe he can tell me what that changes. Soft key disabling is easy though. It's a matter of reenabling hard keys. IDK, maybe the auto-reenable when u deactivate soft keys, but i doubt it.
That would be great, the navigation bar takes up to much space and is annoying at times
Meoverdel's cm10 also would work with chrome.

The Meoverdel rom is very good. It would be great if the chrome would work in the next update.

I've given up on Chrome for now. I look forward to trying it in the future but for now I found something even better than Dolphin (opinion)!
Maxthon Browser. It's really fast, efficient, neat and it works just like I need a browser to work. Check it out if you have the time!

What browser do you guys suggest for ice cream roms? Every one i try seems laggy with gui issues. Is this related to 4.0 or what? Never had these issues with GB. I tried chrome but i see no fullscreen option.

I always use Chrome, but you might want to try Boat Browser or ICS Browser+
Chrome loads webpages really fast but no flash. If you are loading flash websites use stock or opera mobile.
Chrome for nearly everything and stock ICS browser for Flash sites.
Chrome or Opera.
Still finding Dolphin HD to be the best for me.
Chrome always runs in the background wiping battery.
dolphin is my fav
Opera mobile

The ICS+ browser is my favorite now. The quick thumb controls are the thing that do it for me. I use my phone for work, and the way it switches tabs is the best, as I have 3-4 open all the time.
Chrome is nice except for the lack of flash support and the paginated scrolling. Flash is junk anyways .
I love Chrome. I haven't used a standard browser in I don't know how long. I use Dolphin HD on my tablet, and forget about browsing the web on my work phone(the Xprt), Sprint sucks.
Dolphin gets it done for me. I hate the fact that chrome won't load flash. It's so damn fast.

+ 1 for Boat browser
depending on use I switch between boat,dolphin and opera
Dolphin HD, is the best browser I've used. It's better than Opera. There are websites I've found that opera doesn't loss that dolphin does. And It's fast. Been using it for years for the most part. I've tested a lot of different ones and dolphin always wins
Which one is the best in your opinion and why?
My personal favorite is Opera Mobile
Its fastest, best html5 compatibility, very easy to use, and most important unlimited bookmarks on start page
Aurora by mozilla. It's super smooth and has no download issues.
Dolphin browser

Chrome fer sherr, why? Because as Sprint has low downloading speeds it loads pages fast, same with Opera Mini

It looks promising but lacks a ton of features imo.
On my older ARMv6 phone I'd have said Dolphin Mini because it's fast and has a very streamlined usability imo.
On my EVO I'm happy with Opera Mobile, although it has some issues here and there.
I'm satisfied with miui stock browser but was a fan of dolphin hd/mini when I used Sense.

I'm an Opera man, desktop and mobile.
I'd say stock, used to flip back and forth from Dolphin (awesome browser) but kept on going back to the stock one.
But! Looks like Firefox FINALLY will be launching a browser fit enough to wear that brand in the near future. The Aurora build is amazing, super smooth and looks great, someone said it does not have enough features, it's still in test mode so hopefully when the beta comes out for it, it'll be more functional and loaded up with goodies
Chrome (for Android 4.0+ users) looks like another browser that'll come out good.
I've tried a few but end up always going back to Dolphin HD. Its quick,I like the layout and gestures plus I've personally never had any problems using it. I do use Firefox when other browsers (stock/dolphin) wont let me download certain files.
I think the best Google Chrome and Dolphin Browser HD

Dolphin hd

Imo stock is best ??

Dolphin HD #ftmfw
I like ICS stock browser and Chrome the best. Dolphin is good too, but one thing that always bothered me is that websites built for mobile phones that want you to swipe through screens don't work with Dolphin because you keep pulling up your side menus. If there is a setting or technique I'm missing there I'd like to know.
Boat browser for me. Can't believe someone hasn't mentioned that one yet :/

Chrome. It's seriously the best browser out there. It somehow manages to have every feature there is but look so simple and work so well.

+1, Chrome does it all. Its the fastest browser I've ever used for android and the syncing w/ my desktop chrome is epic
Downloaded the new Firefox Beta today from the Play Store today.
It is much smoother and faster than Chrome Beta.

create general.user agent.override and set to desktop seems to work
For user agent, use the extension Phony.
Also, Firefox supports Flash now, this alone makes it worth trying for me. I always used the stock browser instead of Chrome for that reason.
Locked up my phone first time I went to a webpage. Uninstalled.

Played with it earlier today. Uninstalled it. After you Chrome nothing else is as good.
I installed it after finding out about it earlier in the day. I have refused to use Firefox on my mobile devices due to shortcomings and mostly, lack of flash support. So far, I am generally pleased with this new BETA version. However, Dolphin Browser HD will continue to be my favorite. I don't even think I bother to use mobile Chrome. I'm generally not a fan of Chrome for the computer, either.
well im on gingerbread so no chrome love
trying this beta out now
I tried it out too, real smooth and fast and the swiping to the left or right of the screen to bring up tabs or settings is imo better than Dolphin HD (and it seems smoother than Dolphin as well).
I'm waiting for more updates though because simple things like forcing desktop mode or some kind of incognito mode are buried within the settings, this is one of the biggest reasons I use boat browser as my main browser it lets you put whatever buttons you want at the bottom of your page. Hopefully they add some of this functionality as Firefox is really fast. (And no chrome love for me either as I'm on rooted stock GB).

Is swiping to left/right configurable? I don't see that working in the latest beta.
Anyone know how to get flash to work? I dont see an option. Thanks!

Way to dig up a dead thread. Now we'll be shooting zombies all #$(ing day.
Wich one is better and faster?
How about you install the Chrome browser, do a comparison and let us all know :silly:
I already did that. But I don´t know how to measure this. I want to decide which one will be the main browser.
I installed Dolphin HD browser yesterday and from my short time with it Ive decided its heaps better than the stock browser. Faster scrolling and page rendering and better access to bookmarks (swipe in from the side)
Maybe try that as well?

Dolphin HD
I use Dolphin HD and many do that. I think it is the best browser for ICS 2012 now a days.
I tested Chrome Beta vs Stock. Stock renders faster. Chrome crashed quite a bit too.
Chrome doesn't support FLASH so sad but it's faster (for me). Anyone tried Dolphin on flash videos or .swf?
Chrome was considerably slower at scrolling and loading, I went back to stock.

Chrome has a lots of potential but for me it stutters like hell. What do you guys think of the ICS+ browser? For me it's smooth as butter on the S3, so fast and flash loads in a fraction of a second. Only thing is when you double tap to zoom in an area it zooms somewhere else on the page but other than that it's flawless.

Chrome is a better desktop browser (in terms of speed if not plugin support), but the stock ICS browser destroys Chrome mobile right now. I haven't tried the other browsers because I have had no need to. I may have to try out Dolphin HD to compare to stock ICS browser though...
I use opera for fast browsing and stock for flash video etc

got the message to get the update to release of Chrome, now all I get is a "package file is invalid" message when I try to download it. The beta has gone and I have nothing! Any suggestions what to do? Is there an apk file I can download and install on my SG3?
im a fan of google chrome so ide go for google chrome, its faster but theres not flash on it yet
the new firefox seems to work well
Does dolphin browser support flash? anyone tried it yet?
Have to bump this thread - thoughts on this topic now? Stock seems more fluid, still!
Why the hell do I have to zoom out every page in Chrome in order to actually see the whole thing (more specifically, this page)? This thing is 2,560 pixels wide! I'm pretty sure that's enough to fit a whole page horizontally. Even if there was just an option in Chrome to start completely zoomed out on the page, as there is in the stock AOSP browser I'd be happy. I got this thing because of the pixels; I shouldn't have to zoom out!
Seriously though everything else is great.
... BECAUSE PIXELS!
Chrome is a piece of crap (on this tablet at least), mine just freezes when I try to use it. Hopefully they will release an update soon. For now try a different browser.

That's a Chrome bug. It happens on earlier Android builds as well.
Report it as a bug in chrome.
And yes, it's damned annoying.

The weirdest thing is Chrome works great on iPads. WTF Google. At least try to optimize your own software for your own device and OS.
yeah, chrome is a steaming pile of crap, on phones, on tablets, but not on PC.
it's stupid that the default android browser is so buggy.
it still consistently crashes when launching with a keyboard.
Are you all just filching AOSP browser out of a ROM? Or where are you getting it?
Thanks in advance, I'm ready to have a nice browser on this.

Firefox is not working on Nexus 10, crashes on startup; Dolphin too.
Firefox beta seems to work better... It's also available in Google Play.
I don't have the N10 atm, but my only complaint so far is trying to get a hold of a pogo pin charger
All of you switching to the aosp browser, please also file (or star if there already is one) the relevant bug report for chrome for android so this might actually be fixed.
