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.

I checked Request Desktop Site and have fixed that zoom bug.
I just installed AOSP browser for this reason. Working great so far. Installed Flash as well, but haven't really tested it.

That doesn't fix it for me. I installed the AOSP browser earlier this morning and have been using it since.
Chrome has great speed but sadly isn't very stable and has some bugs. Try:
AOSP browser
Dolphin
Opera
Firefox

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.

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.

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).

Opera was the best on the phone, but its tabled UI is a bit weird.
1) Resolution needs to be rescaled, because now its tiiiiny

But speed wise it is very good
QQ Browser or Boat Browser. The best two alternatives IMO.
Faster, more stable, and no early development bugs/glitches.

Gotta say the AOSP 4.2 browser is by far my favorite. Loving it!
how do i install 4.2 aosp browser on the n10?

if someone else needs it: here is a german description, just use the google translator but it should be self explanatory http://www.mobiflip.de/nexus-4-aosp-browser-aus-android-4-2-nachruesten-root/
I am using Firefox. With the add ons, I was able to get an ad blocker without having to root the device, and it so far has not complained on any sites with Flash content. It is very fast and well organized for tablet.

Ocean browser really is the best. I was sold on Dolphin + JetPack before I tried Ocean, but Ocean really does beat it pretty handily.
It regularly gets under 800ms in Sunspider, is as smooth at scrolling/zooming as the iPad, supports flash, and doesn't have any of the weird glitches and quirks that Dolphin + Jetpack has. The only thing that's somewhat lacking is the GUI, which is a bit dated and ugly looking. I always keep it full screen though and just use the quick menu, which is beautiful.
Ocean browser is hands down the best imo. Went back and forth between that and dolphin for a while but ocean is way better.

Hi I love my nexus 10 and no im not returning it, But after seeing this video im quite upset withthe performance.Didnt want to root to keep this as my standard pure google experience device I may have to now. Also the video is right chrome does suck on it dolphin is a bit better opera is probably best.but still slight performance issues with pinch and zoom.I cant believe how they dropped the ball on this as 90 % of tablet use is web browsing (for most people).
Use Dolphin and their JetPack rendering engine add on. As smooth as smooth can be IMO.
Yes did I have used it since day 1
Still not as smooth as that surface tablet also everything is blown up I put settings at 50%
Its a bit better but still to zoomed in.
I did everything in that review on dolphin Tweaked settings and all.
Still sucks.(in comparison)

I don't know if they've changed, but opera wasn't built on WebKit, which means a lot of websites designed for android and iOS won't work correctly
I also had tried it in the past.I am not sure if it used webkit but I think not because I've been using it steady on The nexus and my note 2 both have been working well only issue I have is with flash but puffin browser seems to work for those sites.
Looked for ocean doesn't show up.I will continue to use opera as long as it works.

You can also quick scroll through the tabs by swiping from the edges of the screen left or right. This was there previously but the patch has made things much smoother.

The updated version still cannot wrap text to fit the viewing screen via double tap. This is something Dolphin, Boat, FF, and probably every browser out there ARE capable of.
Try ocean or boat browser. Personally I find ocean browser way better. Very fluid, smooth and has intuitive navigation. It is more like an upgraded Google default browser.

Meh, the interface looks like a hideous combination of iOS and Holo to my eyes. And aside from Chrome, Firefox and Opera, all the other browsers are shells for the native rendering engine so performance should be exactly the same, whether it's Dolphin, Boat, Ocean, etc.

Nope, Dolphin with JetPack uses it's own rendering engine and Ocean seems to use the AOSP rendering engine. That's the reason that both of these browsers feel so much smoother than any of the other ones.
Indeed, dolphin with jetpack does use its own rendering engine, that's why it scores super high on the html5test
Ocean works great but I like how it can be tweaked to give a full desktop experience.
I guess I will alternate between both for now.

I actually ran into device not compatible when i tried to download from the nexus 10, I ended up installing manually.
I have reached out to the opera team to see what the deal with this is.
I heard Opera dropped their normal engine and moved their new versions of the mobile browser to the WebKit engine.

I wish sites would just finally drop flash and move on. It is a dead format in the mobile world and has been for about a year.
I know why it isn't supported on the nexus 10. I started it up and my tablet immediately rebooted. Now, I don't mind if an app stops, but to reboot the tablet is something else.

Best browser (for me) is Chrome. I haven't had any of the issues most people seem to have, and most importantly (to me) it has Google Sync
I'm a staunch defender of Opera for desktop, but I can't get myself to like this beta, even the "old" Opera Mobile looks better.
And one thing I'm still missing is the option to clear cookies on exit, like Dolphin does.
Many websites that are important to me require flash, so I'm sticking with the Boat Browser which is brilliant.

It was quite fast and overall good app to use. I am using this from last two months. I think it is a perfect browser with a nice design.*
Looks nice but it's not very fluid like the stock android browser, then after a few minutes, screen looked choppy, I uninstalled it, went back to stock browser and also made the browser choppy and broken images. I had to reboot my nexus 10.
