I am the proud owner of a new Nexus 10, and I thought I would carry out some browser benchmarks to see which browser worked best as the earlier bechmarks using Chrome were a little dissapointing...
The bechmarks are lower is better with the exception of V8
Sunspider, V8(higher is better), Kraken
Chrome (stock) 1365ms, 3023, 11222
QQ Browser 881ms, 4032, 10087
Boat Browser 886ms, 3614, 10213
By comparison here are the Iphone 5 benchmarks
Safari 908ms, 1553, 19618
As you can see - this thing really flies and is the fastest android device i've ever used
What about dolphin browser with the jet pack addon, I'd imagine that would do quite well score wise.

Wow those are really impressive ill test out dolphin now

Dolphin Browser 1116ms, 3542, 9314ms
better than chrome
dolphin
Yeah, dolphin browser is quick but it doesn't support flash.. So IMHO boat browser is the fastest flash supporting browser for the nexus 10...
Shame boat doesn't have syncing with chrome
Yeah that is the only thing lacking, so i'm keeping chrome close to hand... But boat and QQ browsing really is so fast and a joy to use, seems as fast as my desktop... Hopefully google will optimize Chrome soon

Philip or kamal,
would you mind posting test scores for Ocean Browser and Firefox? I'm waiting on my N10 to arrive and I'd read both of those ran well and support flash on the 10

I've tested both Firefox and Ocean in Sun spider.
Ocean got 780ms and Firefox got just over 1000ms.
Ocean also is as smooth as the iPad in scrolling/zooming, while Firefox was a bit more studdery in my experience.

I used Boat quite a bit, and while it impresses in Sunspider I honestly don't think it can compare to Ocean (or even Dolphin + Jetpack) as far as smoothness of scrolling/zooming goes.

Well, I've tried them both out, and actually I've gone with the recent update to Dolphin Beta 1.2 for JB. It runs -Very- smoothly and much better than Chrome(which is pretty easy right now). It doesn't load pages quite as fast, but it's close.
I've never been a huge fan of Boat (I dislike the bottom navigation bar that you can't remove).
Ocean is very quick on not so media heavy sites, but I hate how much screen you lose to the address bar and tabs.
I also had a lot of screen tearing and rendering issues with Boat and Ocean.
I frequent Roosterteeth.com and both ocean and Boat would just bog down, give up and render nothing but a tiny sort of grid like static.
So for me my daily driver is going to be Dolphin Beta for now. If I need Flash, Firefox is my pick for that. It's a clunky interface and a little buggy but handles Flash nicely when it has the system resources the Nexus 10 can provide. I also didn't experience any of the rendering issues Boat and Ocean had while using Firefox.
So I've got to trade some performance for compatibility. That's my take anyway.
Also, the Nexus 10 is Awesome.
So, is jet-pack a plug in or stand alone browser? I've downloaded Dolphin, Dolphin beta, and Jet pack. They all show up separately in my apps.

If you enable the quick controls the interface disappears. It's very similar to the AOSP browser except a different layout on the controls.

Jetpack is a custom back-end renderer for Dolphin as opposed to just being a shell interface for the stock renderer. You can think of it like a plug-in but it's more than that.

I've been using Dolphin hd lately but sometimes it's just really slow.The Mini version seems faster at times, but the lack of that scrolling left bookmarks bar and toolkit bar bums me out. I just can't decide which one to use. Opera browser is really fast to...there are just to many to choose from. What one do you guys prefer?
I'm using the new Dolphin HD 5.0 beta. While it can be slow at times, it at least supports flash, which Opera doesn't. Once Opera supports flash, I'll switch, until then, sticking with DHD5.

Yea I just got an update today for dolphin HD. Amazing!
I seem to be a minority but I always end up using the stock browser after trying any of the options.
Any browser that has a splash screen is instantly out. I don't think an application as important and as often used as a web browser should make me stare at a screen while it loads.
That said, Opera seems pretty nice. I've been using it on my Nook running CM7 and that may just win me over from the stock browser.

I'll check out that maxthon. I actually uninstalled Dolphin hd. I don't know about you guys but when I'm browsing with my phone I use the browser to its potential. I almost do what I would do on my desktop. Every time I would be about 25 minutes into browser with dolphin, it would start to be really slow and glitchy. Links won't work sometimes. Sometimes the whole pages wouldn't load. I wouldn't be able to click on links, simply because they didn't load. Idk, so I've been using Miren lately and love it.

Is this a setting or some tweak i can fix this with or thats just how it is. I tried searching but searc is down right now. Any feedback would be great, Thanks!!

Are you seeing that on a phone app? If so, the tablet will often rescale such apps, which pixellates their graphics. Try on an app designed for tablets, or an image.

I've tried them all, and to be completely honest, I always go back to the stock browser. Opera Mobile is quite good (not mini), but I don't like the way it does a few things.

+1 here too: the stock browser simply seems to work the best out of all the various browsers available. I would like to use Firefox, but I seriously hate how it screws up images on a device designed with viewing images in mind!
Besides, I quite like the bookmarks widget on my desktop and Firefox doesn't offer such.
On stock browser here as well - I've never tried any other.
QuickPic has also been the ideal image viewer for me - the stock image viewer isn't all that hot and shows a lot of compression artifacts and pixelation.

Yes, but it would only open the bookmarks I've made in the stock browser, the widget wouldn't show any bookmarks I make in Firefox itself. That kind of defeats the whole idea.
I too agree after installing all browsers the stock browser is best overall.I like Oprah for its speed seems to load pages much faster but that tab in the top left corner is not so user friendly to get to things.well for me anyway. I have not tried any of them since 3.1 update.well other then stock
As far as resolution no issues here at all.most stuff on web and produced for web graphics.will not be without pixilation to some degree

It doesn't look optimized for tabs

I think Opera works best
Been using Google Chrome Beta on mine, pretty impressed with it.
Have since installed it on my GS2
Take Opera Mobile
Chrome Beta is nice but for me i miss the flash support...
IMHO nothing works better on a tab than ICS browser+...... why didn't you like it?
I've been using Opera, has been the best for me, after trying stock, firefox, dolphin.
I use Chrome beta, just for the fact that I can sync my bookmarks. I'd probably still be using stock if it worked there. I used to use Dolphin's Pad beta but once Chrome came out, it was an obvious choice.
The stock browser is pretty fast in 4.0.4 on my Galaxy Nexus, so when I get that on my A500 I'll try it out and see how it goes.
Overskreen. Allows you to have a tab open above an app.

+1 on this, ICS Browser + rocks! In fact, I just reviewed it on tablified.com, here's the link: http://www.tablified.com/reviews/ics-browser-simply-amazing/
I can't try Chrome because I live outside of the US, I know I can probably just find the apk somewhere, but ICS Browser+ is already enough for my needs and right now, I'd rather have flash support than not, although that might change soon...
Used to use Dolphin but it felt really clunky to me, and well, the stock browser on both HC and ICS never really cut it for me.

I think Boat browser is the best for me so far.
I liked Dolphin Tablet but it started to crash and it didn't seem as if they were releasing updates for it much. I went to Chrome. It was ok. I am now using Dolphin HD. Its amazing and I have no problems so far. Very stable. It also has soo many plugins. I suggest Dolphin HD.
boat browser update
Just did a boat browser update yesterday and it is now very laggy, wish I could un update the update.
I had trouble with the default browser downloading files. Sometimes it would just hang, other times I'd get blank files. And it just seemed sluggish to me. This was, admittedly, while running a stock Acer rom, though.
I played around with Chrome when it hit, but I ran into some problems with SwiftKey, and even now on a custom ROM, it gives me blank white pages with no content far to often to not annoy me.
I also kicked around Dolphin some. It just never satisfied me.
I finally happened by Aurora - Firefox's alpha channel - and I am more than pleased with it. It's yet to crash on me, it has the must-have addons - like AdBlock - available, as well as UserAgent changers - as I prefer desktop sites only. It's fast, and it's been optimized for a tablet layout. I've been running it exclusively since discovering it and I haven't had a single moment where I debated going back to Browser.
Hi I have been using the Maxthon HD browser with the RE-FLEXxx Rom and find it works better for me than the others (I tried all of them)

Dolphin browser is one of the minimal theme browser which has become a favorite. Its gesture based web surfing makes browsing fast and easy. Make gestures and the browser understands which page to render. It also has voice based web searching feature. Some of the important features which makes this browser different from the rest are: Webzine (Fast Web page loading, with no ads), Speed dial, sidebars and interesting add-ons.

I have the same experience. Both the stock browser and chrome take approx. the same time to "start up" (aka show some parts of the interface), but with chrome it takes some seconds until it actually starts loading a website (before, it takes some time until it shows the number of tabs, maybe it is related?)

I used to have the same problem on stock rom with Chrome lastest version. Best thing for me at that moment was to use the old Chrome version included on my JB update. Also disabling Chrome history and desktop syncro really helped. Those two simply steps get Chrome considerable faster; the price was less security less funcionality.
Still, i agree the app totally sucks. Now i'm using Omar's ROM and last Chrome stable and waiting those 4-5 seconds. Could be worse, like in stock rom.
My Razr i really sucks there. Browsing on Chrome is a nightmare. Also stock browser is laggy. I regret swapping my Nexus 4 with Razr i for my daughter. I don't want to mess up with roms and old version of Chrome. I miss simplicity and reliability of Nexus. Razr is my last phone from Motorola.
People should be aware that there is a reason why Boat Browser, Dolphin and all the other "best replacements" are free. Even Chrome is not recommendable. I am using the stock browser and I'm not missing anything. On my Nexus 7 I use this app to install the AOSP Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller

I agree, the stock browser works alright.
Chrome beta works okay too but somehow they really broke chrome non beta...it suxx but the only difference to the nexus 4 is that it keeps chrome in the nice 2gb ram so it doesnt have to laggy launch again.
Its kinda laggy at first non ram start on the nexus4 too so i guess google just messed up their "stable" version of chrome again.

Thanks man for that! Chrome beta really is much much faster than non beta. Great news for me, at least I could switch to chrome. Cool

Chrome has my bookmarks, and its AS fast AS stock Browser unless Google messed a Version up like the current build. Beta is fine now, months ago its been beta that was slow
Newest Chrome Beta

Same here
Same situation here, Chrome takes too much to load, I use the "stock browser" all the time because It takes forever to load for Chrome!
Regards.
Dolphin browser with dolphin jetpack installed is the fastest browser I have tried. Chrome beta was great too, but it force closed too often

Chrome is sluggish for me too. Will try the stock browser instead
