I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab, rooted and ran OCLF.
When I load pages like ESPN.com (full site) it is almost unusable. Scrolling takes forever, typing is waaaaaaaay laggy and just completely frustrating.
I have an iPad and their HTML5 version is smooth and has no issues.
I have also noticed this on other full content web sites. Is anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Web browisng is terrible on big sites like ESPN, Engadget,etc, etc. It's almost unusable. I've contacted Samsung and Sprint and made a video even to show them how bad it is. Generic responses of course. If it's not fixed before my 30 days are up I'm returning this thing for an iPad -- I got this for web browsing primarily, and the iPad does it SOOO much better. I don't need Flash THAT bad!
Have you tried setting plugins to on demand in the stock browser or using a different browser like Opera or Dolphin HD?

Guys please just disable flash/follow raqballs advice.
Those sites are flash heavy that is why they're slow.
download dolphin HD browser...
I noticed that on the stock browser too, it sucks
Dolphin HD is great...same as my ipad pretty much
i don't think i'm browsing heavy flash sites. i tried to use both stock browser and dolphin hd (and compared it to my droid inc) and the tab browses much much slower. not sure what setting i need to change. i'm on wifi so it should be blazing.
Flash sucks, that's really about it. I can't wait until it dies.
I use anything but the built-in browser, and I avoid Flash like its the plague. Dolphin HD isn't half bad.
That said, I found the Flash browsing experience to be a little more sluggish on AT&T and Verizon tabs than it is on my Sprint one. I tested with both ESPN and Engadget. On another forum this was said to be due to bloat, but when I owned both the Verizon and Sprint tabs I could never get the Verizon one to perform as well even with bloat-removal.
I ended up returning my Verizon Tab and keeping the Sprint one, its just a smoother experience, the coverage in my area is the same, and you get unlimited messaging.
I'm not dogging AT&T or Verizon, though, because I own the Samsung Focus and Samsung Fascinate. But something about their Galaxy Tabs seemed off despite having the exact same hardware. YMMV.
Use dolphin hd. Buy the full version, its worth every penny.

Opera 10.1 works the best.

Samsung will have to address this issue. period.
I noticed that even some sites without flash lag like hell.
There is a bug somewhere with the or browser lib.
It is even present on the SGS 2.2 browser but it was not present on the SGS 2.1 browser.
For now use Opera 10.1 with 200% zoom enabled. it works the best. very smooth.
Its probably Flash related. I keep the **** off, not even on demand because its such a hog. Its utterly useless on mobile devices.
I personally can't wait until its dead for good & its not ruining my web experience on my devices.

Even with flash disabled or 100% removed from the device, it still lags horribly on some web sites.
Get ad free it does the job
Well for me the stock browser keeps on crashing from time to time, tried Mozilla but it seems more sliggish than ever. So i tried the Dolphin HD browser with flas 'on demand' and it seems to work fine! Am also using AdFree to block ads in all apps.
Endgadget and ESPN seems to load pretty fast over wifi and the scrolling and all seems to silky smooth. . .
Am on the stock rom btw though the phone is rooted.

This is why I never buy anything samsung. Its stuff always seem perfect specs and features wise. Then when you play, you are guarranteed to find some serious bugs which samsung won't fix. Apple's price without the continued support. Unless 1/3 the price or Apple-class out-of-box experience and post upgrading, no point go samsung.

I think you have a skewed perspective there.
But for the most part I find browsing to be pretty good on the Tab. Keep in mind the stock browser is now rendering a LOT more pixels than your typical smartphone, and is dealing with Flash if you have it enabled.
Could be faster, but it ain't "painful".

I'm also having the same issue on the website i always browse like dpreview.com there is only two browser that will scroll/browse faster opera or safari.
I don't like how I can't go home on the browser.
So question is, what browser are you using?
And what browsers is out there for least battery and ram usage?
Over the years i got used to chrome so much that i just cant make myself try other browsers, even if its not necessary the best one
I had problems playing video within other browsers, including Firefox a long time ago. I've been on Chrome for the past couple years, now.

Exactly this. I've tried so many other browsers... But I just can't pull myself away from chrome. Chrome I think just works better for what I do/need.
Chrome Beta or Dev. Gives a good glimpse of experimental/upcoming features.
Used to use dolphin and only reason i didn't move away was i had lastpass, now i use keepass i've moved to chrome and i much prefer it.
I've been using Chrome for long time and I don't plan to change that anytime soon.

Chrome got a stranglehold on me on both phone and desktop. I can't get jiggy with any other browsers.
Chrome. Mostly for the syncing. It's so good. It's not the fastest by any means. Aosp browser blows everything it if the water for speed, but not worth giving up syncing for me.

CM browser is fast..dolphin browser for flash player..:good:
Like Dolphin as my daily driver....
Chrome Dev. Regular Chrome crashes webpages way too often on Android N.
Forever on Chrome as well.
Opera is the best BY FAR! Like not even any close seconds.
It's pretty quick, smooth (mostly)....but the main thing..REFLOWS TEXT!!!
Google got rid of reflow text so you would be forced to see their ads. Chrome sucks because who wants to keep scrolling constantly to read!
Makes a huge difference.
Also can set to use Desktop sites. Highly recommended.

I'm pretty sure chrome, Firefox and most browsers can be set to use desktop version of the website you're visiting.

I switched to opera a year ago and have not looked back. Beside the aforementioned items, the quick buttons to scroll completely to the top or bottom of a page is something I cannot be without anymore.

That's not the selling point. Reflow text is. Try it out.
It makes it SOOOOO much better than Chrome.
Why do some people got for chrome beta instead of just chrome? Are there different features?
Hey guys,
I'm deciding which browser I should use in my Galaxy S7 edge, considering that I want to have an ad blocker (preferably the one that consumes less battery as possible), which browser you think is the best? {Speed + Features + Ad blocker}
I use stock browser with Adguard
I've always been a big fan of chrome, the multi sync between devices is great and I use my Google accounts a lot. Although for the S7 E I have switched over to the Stock browser, fingerprint login and the tiny speed improvement is worth it in my opinion.
if you want to use Chrome and reduce the lag in it significantly. Go to settings>Privacy> Prefetch resources and select never. I noticed a significant speed boost. Still lags sometimes, but nowhere near before!!
I prefer Dolphin actually!!

The way you phrased the question sort of leads to a specific outcome, since Chrome doesn't do ad-blocking at all.
But I still answered Chrome. I do my ad blocking with NetGuard (which also blocks most ads in apps), so the fact that one browser supports ad blocking and the other doesn't makes no difference. And while Samsung's browser is a little faster, the integration with Google's ecosystem makes Chrome's feature set far more useful to me than the speed advantage of Samsung's app.
The only reason I am not using the default browser is its inability to cast videos from its player. I use that function so often. Otherwise its speedy and well done.
Stock browser + Adblock Fast = Best combo
Which ad block you guys recommend for the stock browser? I heard that crystal is really good..
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Normally I would say chrome, but for some reason it's not working properly on the s7 edge, at least on the exynos version. On my old note 3 chrome is flying, it's very smooth and fast. Probably because it's not properly optimised for these new chipsets yet. Stock browser works very well tho, and even if chrome will perform better in the future, Samsung's offering will still be a solid option.
Stock browser isn't also faster, it's also more battery friendly than Chrome, I tested it a while ago. I used Chrome for like 1 hour and lost 17% battery while stock browser 12%, saves a lot imo.

Yeah, I agree. The stock browser seems a little quicker and a little more battery friendly than Chrome. It's no secret that Chrome (on all platforms) is a battery hog beyond dimensions, so this doesn't surprise me one bit. Crystal Adblock also does its job well, so I don't have any complaints really. I just wish tab-switching was a little quicker. I love how Chrome handles tabs, so it's a little bothersome to have to tap that freakin' button to get to the tabs, instead of just swiping.
So the short answer is, I like Chrome better overall, but I prefer Samsung Internet in this case (for now).
Is there a way to have tabs open in the background in Stock browser
Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk
I use the stock browser with Crystal Adblock.
I tried using Chrome since that's what I usually use but the stock browser is not only faster but it's easier on the battery as well. I noticed that syncing Chrome raises the "Android System" battery usage.
If anyone is debating on which browser to use then you have to figure out what is more important to you. Do you want the syncing ability across devices with Chrome or do you want a faster browser that is easier on the battery.
By the way the Samsung browser with Crystal Adblock is lightning fast. Once you use a Adblock you'll never be able to not use one.

I have 2 S7 Edge phones so I did speed comparison between the different adblockers for the stock browser (Adblock Fast vs. Crystal vs. Adblock Plus). Overall Adblock Fast was the fastest out of the three.

Good job man! That's exactly what I would do if I had 2 s7 edges.. Did it win by a big margin by the way?
Also, it's just for the browser or overall apps?
Thanks man!
i disabled chrome just because samsung browser is insanely fast.
I'm using Firefox cause I can listen to YouTube playing while the screen is off or even browsing my phone . Anyone can check is it working also on stock browser?

No problem! It won by a significant margin imo. It won for browser page load speeds, both fresh and reloaded pages.

It's just an add blocker for the browser correct?
because Chrome is by far the worst, laggiest, most horrendous mobile browser ever. seriously, how can Google create such a monstrosity? it's so slow, it lags up every phone I use it with and just plain old freezes. it's terrible.
I miss the stock Samsung browser with ad blockers... because this is terrible.
anyone have a stock LG browser?

Not that is known. But there's always Firefox with ad block plugins.

No stock browser but Pyrope is really solid and fast.
Try opera
I'm using Chrome and its running quite fast compared to the V10.
I'm using Pyrope and it's pretty great. The only thing I don't like about it is how you open new tabs.
never heard of pyrope. does it have ad block extensions? i'd love another samsung type browser where you could log into stuff with fingerprints. do any have access to that?
firefox was always laggy and slow on my Tab S so i never bother with it, but maybe i'll try it with an ad blocker.
anything has to beat chrome. i don't even care about my bookmarks anymore. i just keep chrome on the phone in case i need a bookmark.
just found one called free ad blocker browser..anyone use it before?
So use DNS66 or AdGuard to block ads in browsers and system....and use whatever browser you want....
Just not Opera....they sold out.
yeah I read that thread by you here or on reddit, can't remember, and some people were reporting battery drain. my end goal is root and just using ad away so this is a small measure until then. this pyrope is nice and blocks some ads.

It's definitely a matter of personal taste when it comes to browsers and I have still yet to find "one that does it all" when comes to the stuff I look for (like user agent, flash, ability to sync bookmarks and send page to laptop browser, and so on), but I've narrowed it down to just a couple that work well for me which are Boat Browser and Puffin.
I've honestly never heard of the one mentioned earlier called Pyo-something so I'm definitely gonna check it out after I send this, good luck with your search though and if I'm ever able to find that "all in one" browser I'll be more than happy to share it [emoji106].

Lol. The bomb diggity yo. Google deprecated after 4.3 I believe. After they advertised it being a feature better for us and better than apple for a few versions. Now we have this mobile friendly crap.
ahh gotcha. idk, I've been using that Pyro browser lol it's not bad. I just want all ads gone forever! lol
Sent from my LG V20 US996
No sheet. Ads suck. Probably going to check the root thread this weekend and see how easy/hard and stable it is. Also, seeing if any rumors of LG at least pushing a bug fix update. I don't have any major bugs. And the minors ones aren't even a nuisance. More buggy or less useful apps that need nougat update. Pretty solid firmware for having nougat first, getting it out fast and it being LG. Biggest gripe if I had to make one is I wish impedance was more consistent or better yet could manually pick low and high mode. Many uses for that beyond getting quad DAC on all the time for high impedance mode. But back on topic... Y'all should try naked browser. Not the best ui, but damn useful and quick browser.
Slimperience has a damn good ad blocker

Hi,
On my Exynos s10+ when browsing animations feels sometimes laggy also switching between tabs is sometimes stuttering and not fluid like the Samsung browser.
These problems I don't have with my previous phone with a Snapdragon 845.
Animation speed is already on 0.5
Is this common? It feels I got downgraded 4 years ago in terms of speed.
Mine is blazing fast. Maybe you have a power saver on which slows down the cpu?
Also no stuttering on mine, maybe clear cache...
Chrome is definitely not as smooth as Samsung browser.
On my old Pocophone F1 the Chrome browser feels a lot faster.
Also when switching between tabs the animation never slows down or any of that kind of stuttering.
Go to setting - accessibilitty - video enhancement - remove animation
Samsung's browser is also based on Chromium, it's superior in 3D rendering but inferior in everything else important for actual browsing, you need to check what settings are slowing you down because it's definitely not Chrome.
I don't know through any benchmark if Chrome is faster than Samsung Internet and I do not use any phone than Samsung at this moment but Samsung Internet is smoother on Samsung phones. I have been using it for at least 2 years at a stretch and almost forgot that Chrome exists on my phone.

So should I disable Samsung internet browser? The reason I'm asking is that I'm still getting only good screen on time not amazing. I got 6 hours yesterday but am not nearing 7 or 8 that many are getting. I've followed your guide and have applied most settings. For adaptive power saving I had it on for the last week and it does not seem to be helping. Then I had it off yesterday until it was at 20 percent and the screen on time seemed a little better.

Well mate iv got the sd 855 version of the s10 plus and my annimations laggy to and chrome as well
No lag whatsoever. I use Firefox and Kiwi (chromium). Although, I haven't seen lag since the SD808 days. Otherwise everything is snappy on this phone.
I had this exact same problem with chrome, i even took my phone to a Samsung service centre and they couldn't figure it out..... But I did!!
I did a factory reset and manually installed all new apps one by one, checking chrome after each install. Phone was fine until I updated the chrome app and back came the stuttering. So disabled the app which took it back to the factory version and not allowed it to update. Works great now, i hope this works for you too.!
