Browser Hang

I dont know why but what ever browser i use it eventually gets to the point where the browser just hangs not crash, it just wont load links i click on or refresh the page its almost like if the internet connection has gone, it is definatley not a connection issue as my pc, laptop and ps3 have no issues. Its getting really annoying now, i have used various roms from aokp, asus hydro, i am currently using aokp build 40. I have used every browser, stock, chrome maxthon, dolhin hd, xscope, it doesnt seem to do it on firefox beta but its horrible and until the firefox team try and make it even slighty resemble the desktop version im not using it.
Anyone had this issue?

Thanks guys ill give it a try

Best Web Browser?

lol, these threads are usually annoying, but I'm desperate!
Tried Ocean browser but it's fugly with that grey color scheme (couldn't find a way to change it). It matters to me since I'll be browsing the net a lot.
Dolphin is the one I'm settled with at the moment and so far it's nice.
Will give Opera Beta a try.
Any others people use?

Definitely the best browser. Its android browser. Yes you need root. Once you do its very simple to install. Its the smoothest and does flash full screen videos without issues.
If you don't want to root, naked browser is also very good.

so far I'm loving firefox, it has adblock and it's smoother in flash videos. =D

+1 for Boat Browser, very fast and stable, supports flash and is very lightweight with about 3mb in size.
my default browser now for weeks

Chrome is the best browser, for me
Works fast (after the V8 Javascript update), and I haven't had it crash yet that I can recall (I do wonder what people are doing to have it crash "repeatedly" though since I haven't had any issues).
AOSP Browser comes in second for me. Anything else isn't an option for me unless it syncs with Google.

Have you tried Boat yet? I'm curious what you thought of it.

I'm using Boat as my browser at the moment actually.
It's great so far.

Chrome for almost everything. I use the "other devices" feature several times a day. It's great being able to instantly pull up any tab open on the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other phone.
Firefox Beta or Dolphin Beta for stuff that requires flash. Don't really use AOSP browser anymore.

How do you get Dolphin Beta to actually play Flash? for me whenever I try and enable it, Dolphin tells me it's naughty and refuses to let me force-enable it!
edit: I have installed the Flash APK already, it's just Dolphin Beta fighting against me...

I think you have to change some parameter to Ipad, it's on Android I think, sorry but forgot which option is it. Say if it worked!

I uninstalled Chrome today

And switched back to the native browser.
Got extremely sick of abysmal scrolling performance (made me feel like I was using my Touch Pro) and after switching back to stock I now realize how slowly Chrome was loading pages. And a recent bug that resulted in Chrome saving any MP3 with an MPGA extension and stripped ID3 tags for no damn reason.
The only feature I can say I miss is the sharing of open tabs and bookmarks across devices
Can any other browsers sync with desktop Chrome, well, without being Chrome?

I wish I could do that, loved the browser on my galaxy nexus, but chrome sucks
I would get the original browser but idk how to root

as much as i want to be on the bleeding edge, i de-installed that one. using pages like xda and responding got so bad it was basically useless. i dunno what google is doing there. writing a browser is probably harder than writing an OS, but still, the others can do it to some extend, why not el goog.

I use Opera Mobile, works perfectly and syncs with Google (Chrome favourites on the phone). Loads much quicker as downloaded data is beeing compressed and unpacked.

You don't know how to root your NEXUS 4? Wow, absolutely no excuses, go download the toolkit and let it do it all for you then.

Or better yet use ADB and fastboot instead of a toolkit and learn something about your phones

for me dolphin has been the best browser by far, it's fast and smooth and doesn't lag like the chrome browser.

[Q][POLL]Which browser do you use?

Don't think this has been made yet... Hope it's okay!
Which browser? Why?
I use AOSP right now because it feels quicker than Chrome, but I miss my bookmarks.

Boat browser, because it has flash support!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Next browser. It feels a tiny bit faster than the Chrome browser + I like it's Icon

Chrome Beta because it's gestures to change tabs is good and sync to chrome on desktop function is useful!

I use chrome as my main browser. However I find myself also using the stock android browser as its pretty nice too.

Dolphin

I recently read that in the AOSP browser, all the saved data is in plaintext. Switched to chrome after that.
Maybe im a bit paranoid, but thats ok

A. Chrome because of the syncing.
B. Can I install the old stock browser on unrooted android? I don't use it much but Id like it back for the, even if limited, flash support.

Habit Browser. It has a lot of features. (e.g. changing tabs with gesture, quick menues, flash support etc.)

I have chrome of course, opera, Firefox, and Dolphin. I like to use all of them. I have to say I really like the gesture bookmarks in Dolphin. That one may be the one I use most currently. But I am testing a lot of them.

I don't follow what you are saying. Any app that stores passwords locally even encrypted with a key is not secure on rooted devices since all they need is the encryption key. My guess is Google does this on purpose since obfuscation would just make people think it is secure without it actually being secure.

(logic dictates that) An app that stores passwords with an encryption key would not make that key easily available to other apps. Maybe im wrong and even encryption stored passwords are easily accessed. Makes me all the more thankful for PDroid.

Chrome of course! Simple and fast. I like stock browser too. Tried next browser and I really liked it. For simplicity, speed, and just everyday surfing chrome for me hands down!

AOSP browser
Fastest browser I've ever used.
Smoothest browser I've ever used.
Fash works flawlessly with it.
Quick controls ftw.
Havent had a FC yet. (Reliable)
The only issue I've ever had with AOSP is on some forums it weirds out and wont let you add attachments and the word selector acts trippy. But other than that AOSP is flawless.
Edit: Also just to add the interface is very lite and simple which is a plus for me.

Are you having issues with it freezing? I sometimes have to FC it, and then it works fine.

No, not as of yet. There was a bug back on 4.2.2 that caused fc when fullscreen was activated but I havent had that issue in 4.3

Chrome Beta or Naked Browser.
Chrome because it syncs with all my other PCs that use Chrome and Naked Browser cause it is simply the fastest browser I have used.Not much on looks, just pure speed.

Internet browser is a tad faster but I prefer the latest version of Chrome version 30.0.1599.92 since it does a better job of correctly displaying some sites that the Internet browser has issues with and is also very smooth and stable now.

I use chrome and also I use android browser from the playstore. Its basically the browser we had on the note 2 which was great. The stock browser on the note 3 doesn't sign in with Google anymore. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Just search android browser in the play store.
