If you go into the G2 development forum, there is a link to the Stock Browser and just flash it in recovery.

AOSP Browser Installer in the Play Store. Worked fine on my VZW G2
(I think the one linked in the development forum is the stock *LG* browser, you might try that but personally I like AOSP browser better)
There is another "AOSP" Browser in the PlayStore if you can't get the AOSP one running (don't know if that one requires root or not, it days it does but..). It's called Android Browser and is basically the AOSP Browser and works fine. I've read that some couldn't get the AOSP Browser to work, so thought I'd throw this out there.
Do they all play flash?
Do either of them sync with google bookmarks?
This is an interesting thing I found in my Exynos powered Note 4. The OS itself is fine, there is no lag in opening apps or navigating through TouchWiz. However if you open any apps that use fancy animations, they lag like there's no tomorrow! For example open the Google Play Newsstand app and you'll see that the app is heavy on animations, and they're all extremely laggy. The same goes for the Facebook Groups app. Is this a KitKat thing that will be resolved in the Lollipop update?

Should be. Because all new-style apps uses new CS-styles. And KitKat doesn't have good optimisation for it. But Lollipop does.
Hello all, I don't know if just happens too me only, but every time I use chrome or any other browser like FF or the default browser, my phone freeze, it's only happen when surfing the Web.
Youtube, games or editing pictures are OK and cero lag, but when I open and use for more than 5 min any browser the phone just freeze.
Any one of you have the same problem?
Rooted and whit only a few apps installed, clean of bloatware
----------------
I solved this problem, by freezing chrome un-installing the default browser and installing the aosp 4.4.2 browser, now I can surf the web with no problem what so ever, even the phone feel more responsive and it use less ram than before.
This is the link of the aosp browser

I'm also facing this... tried a bit of workarounds and ideas but nothing has fully worked.
Best bearable performance has been achieved with root to remove bloatware + greenify + C launcher... buuuuut I definitely can't play any heavy games at all. they're just unplayable.

For me is all related to Web surfing, chrome, FF, lighting browser or even the default browser freeze after 4 or 5 min in any page, but in gaming and youtube the phone works great whit no problem at all
Have you both rooted the phone?
yes...

I am worried that root is still not enough stable for our phone... try flash stock firmware.
I'm on Verizon so no Samsung Internet for me.
I don't really like Chrome (doesn't seem smooth)
What do you recommend?
What's fast, smooth, stable, and easy on battery/resources?
I use chrome, only because I used to use safari. Considering there's no safari on android, chrome offers seamless integration between my mac and S7 Edge.
I'd stick away from Firefox personally, only because of security problems with the browser.

try Chrome Beta - I've always found it less choppy.

I'm on Verizon too, Samsung says they are still working on it but eventually we'll be able to download the Samsung browser from the play store.
I use Chrome Beta as well, I have for a couple years now. I haven't had any problems that I've noticed and I'm quite pleased with the browsing experience on it
Samsung browser with adblock fast. Faster than my desktop PC

In vellamo, the stock one has better score
But i think there's no significance different between the stock one and chrome
crashes....
Chrome (the native one for t mob s7e) CONSTANTLY was crashing....
I moved onto chrome dev...then beta.. all crashed...
So now i switch between adblock browser, and using NO ROOT adblock through fast adblock on the samsung browser... (for anyone that doesnt know, there is a secret menu to turn on adbloxking)
Chrome has become bloated and slow, I use the Samsung browser because is fast and it also supports ad blockers now.
Even if it is not included, can't you just go to apkmirror and download and install it ?
Firefox beta with adblock, smooth and stable so far :good:

I agree. Tried the others, but always come back to Firefox with adblocking.

Seems pretty fast, too bad you cant open tabs in the background, that's kinda dumb.
I use opera browser, mainly because it has a toolbar at the bottom.

Don't know how you are crashing all the builds of chrome.. But i've always been stuck on Stable Chrome and never seen a crash on Android builds.
Next Browser is beautiful and intuitive, Butterfly is the fastest there is.
I use chrome but it's getting worse and worse and worse. Not sure what google is doing but their apps are just regressing
Opera is a good altrnative, going well here

I guess most people didn't read the OP. I don't want Chrome and can't get Samsung browser
Question. Samsung browser every darn time i open a google drive link. It doesnt download. Just ask me to open it from my account. I jave tried everything and cant download the files. Anyone know how to disable this?
UC browser is a ton smoother and faster then Chrome for me, built in adblocker, built in flash player, just have to disable a few things in its settings as it has some Facebook and other integration it puts into notifications window.
After that, it's really awesome. Completely themable too, and can turn every web site into a black OLED friendly version if you have a play with the theme settings
I just recently reflashed my phone with mokee rom, its smooth with some feature like greenify.
I disable and hibernate some apps. except line, but i havn't got line notification.
The only ways i get it by opening line apps, and let it run on my recent task.
But its not happen with Whatsapp, BBM, Instagram. and the rest.
not having this problem
