Chrome can't use flash so that's a downside.
i used to love Boat browser, but not impressed with recent updates.
Stock browser is so so.
What are you preferring?
Dolphin HD is nice and quick but I believe it also only uses HTML5, no flash.

Thanks...been a while since I tried Dolphin...always felt it was a little 'heavy' on the system of this aging beast of ours!
Really hope the guys at Boat Browser fix their stuff.....it was an amazing browser, but recently I've found it to be really laggy and when you pinch zoom it causes the entire page to refresh, or doesn't focus on the area you wanted to zoom on, so you then have to zoom out again to find what you were looking for. Kinda broken.
You pretty much covered them all. Opera is very fast to me, but on JB it doesn't detect flash by default. Although it does play HTML5 videos. At some point you will have to let it (Flash) go.
I saw a browser (don't remember the name) in xda news the other day. It looked ugly but is supposed to be really fast.

try naked browser, it's available on the play store. its very smooth and fast

Gracias....this is a nice Browser.
Holo is really fast and it supports flash. It's the fastest that I've used and I like it, there are a few bugs that I don't like though. I'd recommend trying it out for sure and deciding yourself. If there is something you really don't like you can message the innovator of it on the forms. I say innovator because it's just a spinoff of tint apparently.

Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...
Test page:

I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.
Surprised me not a lot of posts on this problem here.
I have been unable to use the stock browser to do the "search in this forum" here with my Transformer and Transformer Prime. I tried the ICS Browser+, and the Xscope. They are all the same - When I click on the "Search in This Forum" button, the dialogue box and the keyboard show up It does not matter what keyboard I use, be it the Asus keyboard or my favorite Thumb keyboard, the keyboard just disappear faster than I can type.
I researched here and someone has this problem back to 2010 or 2011...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950030
Well, well, well, by accident, I found the browser that does what it should do today, it is the Firefox. Well, it is not the fastest browser. So my question is, what browser you use that can do this "search in this forum"?
Don't tell me to us Tapatalk or the XDA developer app, or use my PC though, I am talking browser for Transformer...
I had problems galore with stock browser. Installed Dolphin browser and everything works beautifully now. The speed is greatly improved as well.
Why not use the xda app?

Yep, very annoying. I usually just click on advanced search so that a new window pops up. It is this way on my phone in gingerbread as well.

My bionic does it as well. It seems like a lot of sites are making it much harder for mobile mobile users to use the full site. I absolutely hate mobile sites so I browse in desktop mode and many sites that worked just fine now require me to switch over to mobile veiw to post or search and some will not even allow any interaction anymore and where perfect just a few months ago. I rarely use rootzwiki since it changed and I have to constantly switch between desktop and mobile veiw to do anything.
Go to the Market and search Chrome Beta if you want to try. Its only for ICS devices right now
Beat 'cha
This sounds awesome. Is it any good or is it buggy like most BETAs?

can i sync it with the Chrome Browser on my pc?
I'm using it now, it's awesome. No flash support currently though.
I'm using it now,no flash support yet, it seems fast but when i scroll down fast there is a lot of unloaded stuff or takes a sec to show. It doesn't seem as fast as stock at least to me so far well see as i play with it more. It does sync with your desktop.
I don't think it's gonna get Flash either, adobe's not developing it for mobile browsers anymore. Don't know if a 3rd party dev can do anything about that though.
Not available for Finland.

But the implementation of Flash would be Google's doing. Not Adobe's.
Right, Adobe's done updating. But mobile flash is already here. It's all about the browser taking Flash into account, as opposed to Flash supporting a browser isn't it?

When I want to download it, the market says it is incompatible?!
I'm liking it on my Prime. Very nice, similar to the desktop experience. Not sure, aside from the synching what is that different, but I haven't looked into it too much yet.

Check the requirements.
Do you have ICS?
Adobe already made an official statement and said Flash will not be in Android Chrome browser. Link to info is in the other thread on chrome browser.
Still needs a lot of work. At the moment it is slower than other browsers, doesn't allow you to change user agent and like mentioned, no flash. I was hoping they would have had addon support from the beginning too.
Pain to get to bookmarks. But I'm sure I'm missing something.

It absolutely makes no sense why non-US Prime's cannot get access to Chrome Beta. No sense whatsoever. Android 4.0 has adoption rate of 1% on the market anyway, out of this only fraction would try out Chrome Beta.
I would love to have Chrome downloaded from Market so it could get future updates without having to chase down APK's each time.
This is frustrating. But hey, at least we now have Chrome on Android.
I just upgraded to Jellybean yesterday and ICS Browser+ stopped working for obvious reasons. So now I am stuck with the chrome browser and wondering if there is some way that I can force it to always use desktop mode and never default to phone. I dont want to hit the "request desktop site" regularly and would just wish the setting would stick permanently.
But is that possibl?. ICS Browser+ gave me that functionality but it doesnt work with Jellybean. And mind you I am looking for a solution/fix/hack that WORKS in Chrome, and is NOT interested in switching browser...
Hoping someone might be able to provide the magic key to making this possible

Open browser and in the address bar type about:debug nothing will happen then go to the browser settings and you'll have more options. Select settings, debug, uastring. Good to go. some phones it doesn't stick and have to do every time use browser
Oops...my bad...doesn't work with chrome but it does on the stock browser. Not sure what the string is for chrome. On opera it's aboutpera so maybe about:chrome?
The about trick for ICS only worked till the browser was closed or you rebooted, so sadly still not a permanent fix :/

Well then i guess you either do the about: debug and change your uastring or have a mobile browser. I personally don't have any issues with it sticking, still desktop on reboot.
You could try this
http://bit.ly/A5y6tT
I tried the about debug trick on my SGS2 back when I was actively using that. And that never stuck on reboot, and got turned off as soon as i closed the browser.
And why google for it when I suspected this site was to go to site for the android phones, but perhaps I am wrong in that assumption. I mean I did actually try the search build into this forum and since that didn't yield anything then I asked
Point being..i didn't make the YouTube video. I wasn't even on YouTube. I shared what works for me. Sorry what i offered wasn't a solution, but there really was no reason to yell. You asked for help, i offered. If don't like what everyone suggested, see link above.

The last link you shared was a hidden comment to go google for the solution . That is what sorta ticked me off <.<. BUT that being said the proposed fix does work on chrome, but NOT with the stock JB browser.
I was led to believe that the stock JB browser was chrome but matter of factly it can't be Chrome, considering the chrome-command-line fix does not seem to do anything to the stock browser at all. But it works on the version of Chrome from Play Store

No actually it was quite relevant. Seeing how you missed it...basically if going to be rude and yell at people who could have skipped over your thread so could get a new rom or mod..google it yourself.

Im not getting a new rom, thanks for offering the suggestion tho . I prefer the stock Samsung feel, but just don't agree on some of the settings. And my own skills into messing with system files and what not arent exactly on par with what I would expect would be required, hence why I am seeking for a mod, rather then building one myself from scratch.
Nevermind.
And I can only aspire to one day build my own rom.
Is there any way to get rid of that annoying menu in the browser that pops up when you are scrolling through a web page? It looks like this:

Chrome is a laggy POS. Also, the chrome beta says it's not compaitable with our phone. The stock browser is pretty smooth but that menu popping up all the time is super annoying.
Well since its a laggy pos then just do a search for browsers on the play store and decide for yourself.
Use the AOSP browser.

Couple questions on the AOSP browser on the DNA, choochoo:
Does this zip replace the DNA's browser, or get installed alongside it? How would you go about going back to stock if you don't like it? And it seems like the stock browser gets all greedy with intents -- youtube, maps, etc. Will regular web links open in the AOSP if launched from another app? And does it reflow text after a zoom?
Okay, I guess that was technically four questions.

It replaces it, I suppose you can copy the stock browser apk and save it for later. As far as app associations, that's controlled in the settings of the phone.
