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)

Try using Ocean Browser. It's as smooth as the iPad from my use.
Will try it .
Thanks!
so far opera is my winner.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Ocean Is only available for tablets, which may be why you didn't find it. After going through about 8 different browsers yesterday, ocean came out on top for me.

Btw guys an update for chrome was released yesterday and it's much better now. Way faster and hasn't crashed on me yet. I was using ocean browser since I got my n10 but have gone back to chrome.
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.

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

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
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Dolphin hd
Supra-charged 3D
Imo stock is best ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
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
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.

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
2) And I really want tabs
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.

Same, nor do I see all the stuttering most people mention lol. Then again, I'm not browsing webpages most of the time on my N10 anyway
Firefox works great
Dolphin w/ Jetpack is my favorite...but Chrome is not giving me any issues either.
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?
edit: forget it, i got it.
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.

I'd say that boat browser is the best alternate browser.

+1 Ocean browser is the best!
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.

Hello,
I just found a very unique and good Browser in my opinion which I wanted to share with you:
Its called UC browser Hd for tablets. The standard UC browser for Android is also good but the tablet version rocks on the Note 2.
I installed it on my Tablet and then transfered the apk file to my note 2, because playstore wont let you install the HD tablet version.
At first I thought: Too different takes too long to get used to. But after using for a short time I love it. And Flash is handled better than at Dolphin, Stock, Chrome, Firefox, in my opinion.
So, if your looking for a browser give it a try.
Greetings Richard

I agree browser is good but unfortunately I had to move to different one because in some cases I could not login to websites. Basically it didn't recognise my username and password which is odd. At the moment I use boat browser which is great as well. I also changed dpi to 260 for better visual experience. Btw. Dolphin browser drains the hell out of my battery.

Tint is horrible. One of the worst I ever used.
Uc is pretty nice but honestly I just can't give up tab sync with my other devices and tab switch via swipe. Chrome is just too good.

I've used chrome, opera, maxthon, dolphin and boat and have now been using Boat Browser for acouple years one both my old Galaxy S1 stock froyo and CM10 as well as my current GS4 stock jb and have found it to be the best browser. My second to it was maxthon.
+1 for Chrome. Alternatively, you may want to check out the stock AOSP browser. I believe it can be installed from Play Store (with root).
Boat Browser 8 or even Boat Browser HD work very well
on my LG G2. Both are light and quick.
Boat browser is also a good alternative
