I have been using ice cream sandwich 8 hours now and I am very impressed. I am using flexreaper and am blown away. The speed of the stock browser is kick ass. The pages flip or scrolls almost to fast and too smooth. I was not expecting this much , dam good job to all that made it happen. Now I have a kick ass tab.
Yeah, I'm running Taboonay 3.0.1 and love how smooth it is. was using it in the McDonald's at the truckstop I'm parked at for the night and the browser was super smooth (loving the little tab on the side when scrolling up and down). not using the stock launcher (am using ADW) but for the short time I did it was nearly flawless. I can't get over how quick and smooth it runs in general, if the "leak" or ROMs based on it are this smooth I can't wait for the official release (and hopefully Acer doesn't screw the pooch between now and then)

Is it laggy when you move through system settings?
For me there is no lag anywhere at first Tabooney installed here as well. After all day using the web browsers I noticed it was getting slow. I went to settings apps browser and cleared cache and it helped. the browser experience to me is like the browser cant exactly keep up with the OS it sometimes seems to be a bit shaky and text artifacts .Typical for a new release of say firefox would often do on a super fast computer. But its a very small issue for Such improved speed. Chrome browser will STOP and end at a black screen for me quite often . i would say avoid it until they give another update or 6.
I have tried some of the other roms as well and they all seem very similar. AWESOME WORK FROM THESE GUYS ON SUCH A SHORT TIME.
Yes. I agree. It's like I have new tablet, speed is amazign and stock browser is great too.
I have one question. I installed chrome for android (beta) and every websites load in "mobile version". Is there any option to get classic desktop version of website? I didn't find anything in settings
I am using Taboonay and it is working great!! ICS is going to make the A500 even that much better!!

Ok. I just checked mine, and I use Dolphin HD from the market.
On my status bar (with dolphin HD open and on a page, say Cnn, I select the settings in the taskbar, More, and select MobileView) You can toggle this between mobile and desktop by selecting it. Note that it will always say MobileView. Just press it, and Select Dolphin HD for doing the action. Page should change.
This should work for you. But you have to be on a web page.

In xscope I was just tapping above, below, left or right of the pacman and it would move in that direction. The angle had to be pretty close as well, tapping off-axis didn't seem to have effect in many cases.
I still can't get this to work on the stock browser, though. The URL says www.google.com, but I'm clearly on the mobile version of the web site with no game in the banner and no link that says "click here to get to the full desktop site" (and I'm stock so no user-agent or "mobile view" settings on the stock browser).

I don't know if you guys know already, but Opera Mobile browser has been updated to 11.1, bringing along a whole lot of goodies, including flash support and user agent changes.
One thing I did notice was that typing lag on facebook seemed to have diminished, this was on desktop view, however still unable to type through some pages with "disqus"
I also found HD 720p videos on youtube has greatly improved! It might be just me, but frames seem to be a whole lot better as opposed to dolphin HD and stock browser.
Frames also drop a bit when viewing full screen 720p in browser, but its watchable.

Temporary Fix to search bar always going to mobile search (must apply apply every time you reset Opera), Credit to iCracked
Hey everyone, I have found a fix for those of you frustrated with the old google mobile search. once you have switched UA to desktop, go to google.com manually, it should load up the full site. Now, using your finger, press and hold over the google.com (website's) search bar, to bring up the menu. Now select "add search engine" then go to your browser search bar and tap the little google icon to bring up a list of search providers and select the new google one, be sure to delete the old one to avoid confusion.

yes, I noticed that too, but I made some video comparisons with a few 720p videos that I watched on different browsers, and it seems Opera seems to perform better. Only my judgement though, and I'm judging on real world performance, not an in app browser test to judge what I can see.
I am running Honeycomb 3.1 stock unrooted
and its fast!!!! not the flash. everything else. no keyboards lag ... Google you need to learn something or maybe buy opera.

Opera is known to introduce its own optimizations, so that's why it's the best in terms of Javascript performance showing zero lag in text input. Finally, Flash support is available! How did they manage to do that without Honeycomb source code?
memory usage is pretty bad tho. 170mb right now on xda wtf?
I'm guessing that the Flash support doesnt work with the hacked/hulu Flash? Opera isn't picking up my Flash but it works in every other browser...
Seems to work well and without any redraw issues when scrolling quickly. Good spot.
nice...will have to give it a try when i get home.
Last night i did a second reset. trying to run my tablet without any downloads for the moment and monitoring performance.
disabled javascript, flash on demand, and the browser was beautifully working. opened up links super fast, then.........
i hit the back button (lower left on screen)...the page does nothing. i press again, and this time it takes me 2 pages further than i wanted...damnit
then when i go from landscape to portrait, the damn quick scroll guide (added in 3.1) is stuck in the middle of the page...
all of a sudden..it crashes. no message, no warning, just straight back to home page. wtf... shame, because i love the layout of the stock browser.
But. Opera..here i come
Loving it. It's REALLY quick, feels 4x quicker than the stock browser, and more intuitive too. I also just tried their desktop browser, Chrome killer or what!!!

Opera keeps on randomly zooming in on certain links when I click them. This is extremely annoying when using the touchpad as the mouse is plenty accurate enough.
Any way to turn this off?
Anyone successfully seeing flash videos in the new Opera using the 10.3 hulu hacked flash?
Google searches from the address bar or search box still use the mobile google site even with the UA set to desktop.
Did they also increase the font size on 11.1? The font size on previous version were much smaller then default browser, and dolphin HD

That's precisely why you don't see any redraw while scrolling. The stock browser uses less memory because it doesn't load the whole page, instead only loading the portion of the page that you are currently viewing. This translates to choppy performance because it has to reload the page every time you scroll up or down, but leaves more memory for the rest of the OS to work with.
I hate tabs on this thing. Hidden, huge and ugly.
Also it renders fonts badly (some letters are to close, some are too bold comparing to stock browser or Dolphin).
scrolling is jittery no where as smooth scrolling as default browser

I like them out of the way. They are hidden on my desktop that sports a full hd screen, I see no reason to keep them on sight on a "tiny" screen
Anyway, they didn't update Opera link, I was kinda hoping they will, so to get the most out of Opera 11.50....... oh well. One day.

I Own an Eee Pad Transformer and That Typing lag is Horrendous. Im going to be getting a Gtab 10.1 In the next few weeks and selling my Tab + Dock but thats beside the point. I Made this Thread just for an FYI. for Those who didnt know and wanted a Fix for Typing Lag, Opera Browser Mobile is Perfect. Using Opera Browser Mobile Feels Soo much smoother when typing with NO LAG what so ever. For those who are on ends, You should Try this out. Also an FYI, for people who Think Opera Mobile Just shows Mobile versions of websites, it doesnt. You can set it to a Full Desktop View Now with New Update.
Hope This Helps People out ~ Cheers ~
Edit: Opera Now Supports Flash. Tested and works! yay for updates. Also it Supports desktop without having to go to hidden menu.

LOL Yeah but they cant without Source since Opera is built Differently. Gotta wait for Google to release it, If they do. Theyre being picky with HoneyComb. still the Smoothness is worlds different. you'll notice the typing difference right away.
Look like the new version opera mobile 11.1 has a agent setting, support flash, and has a exit button. So no need to go into about:config to set the agent. Too bad the font is still pretty small compare to default and dolphin HD. I havent tried out 11.1 but with 11 there was still some lag when typing on this forum.

Strange. I Have no Lag. Maybe its because Im using Thumb Keyboard too. I also turned off all Auto Corrections and grammar corrections.
Been using Opera Mobile for a little while. Love this browser, was bothered by the lack of agent setting, but now that can be turned on. Also was able to watch Flash and that worked good.
Really like the browser alot.
I never had lag on my Opera, what settings did you have?

1) typing is indeed much better. no more blue highlights in text boxes which seems to be the cause.
2) text selection is steadier.. the cursor seems to pick the right position more accurately and without the real annoying cursor jumping.
Dislikes
1) when typing this response.. the typing indicator started right in the middle of the reply text box with no way to put it at the top line.
2) font is smaller than stock browser and dolphin HD
3) scrolling is not as smooth as stock browser and dolphin hd
4) loading pages is slower than stock browser and dolphin hd
5) no full screen viewing
6) bookmarks are not as easy to access like dolphin HD
with all that said.. it is such a relief to be able to type without lag and to be able to set the cursor more accurately. I'll stick to opera for now until dolphin or stock gets rid of the lag.

I am also using the thumb keyboard and have xda set to classic view. The lag comes and goes. There is major lag if I have music playing in the background with either default music player or player pro. This lag is on both my TF and 10.1. I havent tried out 11.1 yet, hopefully there lag is gone.
I just started using Opera and the typing is indeed much better. I think everything is crisper looking too. Everything in Dolphin HD seems soft and scrolling in both Dolphin and the stock browser is nothing to brag about. They may scroll, but content loads after.

I ROMmed my TF101 as soon as I got it, so I cant comment on if it did it before, but now, regardless of the ROM (revolver/krakd), pretty much any browser will randomly crash while Im browsing.
Is this normal?
Mine did this stock, and still does on all roms. No its not normal. I'm guessing its a bug in honeycomb.

doesnt bother me though
Yup...not often...but it happens...can't wait to see how stable ICS is when it gets here.

Thats why ICS is essential and i have not opened,better statement,i refuse to open my transformer from early december...
the browsers in Honeycomb is a JOKE.
crashing all the time, i have used 10 browsers and they do the same quite often.
imagine writing a long forum post...the nerves...
generally honeycomb is so bad,it is unbearable.
lets see how ICS will be...
Dolphin for pad and firefox have given me the least grief but as everyone else says hopefully ics will make browsing better if it does my browser list may change again but at the moment i dont even have stock deleted it because its that bad!!!!!!!!!

Uncheck everything except "show debug console." That's it.

It seems like this needs reapplying after updates, as well, as it gets reenabled eventually. (Or did for me.)
Boat browser could be the answer
I olso had problems with slow connektion, forceclose and no responding with Asus and dolphin and other browsers.I have playede with Android since the first HTC Hero and have tryed all browseres out there.. I realy like Dolphin. but it is slow. and just stop and forceclose without reason with my Tranformer.
Then someone in a Android forum in December toll, that "Boat browser" was very fast and without noticible bugs. After 2 month use I can tell that im totaly agree !
Boat browser is my first browser choice, and today I only use Dolphin when I need Google translate (as a plug-in)
Go and try Boat with our Transformer, I think, that you realy will like the speed and stability. Writing in forums is olso much better then the original and Dolphin browser- still not perfect... but better... I hope that ICS will fix this problem.
There is a secondbrowser from Boat callede Mini, but Im not sure where difference is...
Sure, Boat is very fast and users are giving it amazing 4.5 (!) total in Market, but it olso need more like plug-ins. The firm behind said that they will give us the option soon.

Ok, i upgraded from Roach Prime to ICS and now i have these complains:
ICS Browser doesn't have an option to define that i want desktop sites forcing me every time i visit a site to ask for the desktop version in the options, wtf is that??
In Facebook, even if i ask for the desktop version the chat doesn't get docked to the right like in a normal desktop browser, and the options of the chat don't work
Is there any way to solve this, where is the Chrome apk because from market i can't install chrome either.
All this ranting is not because of me, it's my wife's tablet and she is just complaining about all this and telling me that i shouldn't have upgraded and driving me crazy.
Chrome is not the solution because she watches lots of flash videos
I'm quite unimpressed also.
Sometimes I can click "request desktop site" and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
I've typed about:debug and changed the user string to Desktop but it doesn't always work.
Also about:debug doesn't always work.
I'm having the same problems with chrome.
Maxthon for tab and Doliphin for Pad are currently my alternatives
Get ICS Browser + from market this adds user agent string option.
I went back to Revolver 3.11 for now.
I had a couple of random reboots on ICS when launching apps, and i notice this occasional annoying screen tear at the top left corner of the display.
Kind of like graphic anomalies you would get from overclocking a graphics card.
Never had that problem on Honeycomb.
I like the new features of ICS, but those annoyances will keep me on HC until they're ironed out.

I have no problems, and out of all the Android browser, Opera is by far the best at formattaing and reflowing them for mobile and tablets.
Did you set it to Mobile, Tablet or Desktop UserAgent?
or perhaps you are visiting websites written by 14yr bedroom coders that still think IE is the only browser on the planet, and as long as it displays in IE, they can get their money and run...
Either way, your comment stinks of ignorance. Clearly websites written to Webstandards will work in ALL browsers, and the piss-poor browser sniffing that badly coded websites use cause more problems than they fix.
