Stock browser totally destroys chrome in so many ways. When they make chrome feature parity with stock, then I'll switch. Plus chrome runs a horrible +80mb service at all times which kills me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anarcie:
Stock browser is open source with aosp. Chrome is closed and will stay closed. They need to offer stock so 3rd parties can mod and include it with their phones. Also some countries don't have access to chrome via the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watt9493:
I agree on dolphin. Been using it since my defy (god that was crap) and its only gotten better. I do however enjoy stock more then chrome

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Munk0:
I prefer stock over chrome. Sunspider says that stock is 1.2 Times faster than Chrome with these results:

However the speed test took less actual time to run with Chrome as well I find most all pages load faster too. BUT! I prefer the smoother movement, zooming, etc of the default browser. I'm using the Google Nexus 7 for my comparison and find similar results on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I go stock for full screen and NOW!!! I van download stuff without a "Failed to download".

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
Stock here as well specially now that im using paranoid android and stock is tablet like its very very very nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
I use both. Stock browser is definitely faster, but SwiftKey predictions don't work in its forms, like the mobile Facebook Site or other pages that require input.

Chrome feels definitely more polished and complete, but it's much slower for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobdude:
I love the new Jb side controls on the stock browser. Multilayered and rendered only with available screen space. Gonna stick with stock till chrome has that feature
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
Chrome renders slower that's all but i use stock for the quick menu :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cerberus_tm:
I completely agree! I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 stock.

1. I had forgotten how great tab-swiping is in Chrome, that really is fantastic.

2. Quick controls are very convenient. And have you checked out Quick ICS Browser? That is a fork of the stock browser with more quick controls, and they are fully customizable too! It also has swipe to switch tabs, but it doesn't work well (yet).

3. Flash! I hate it, but I need it, so no Chrome (it works in Dolphin, stick browser, and Quick ICS Browser: I actually think they use a very similar engine).

4. Scrolling seems to stutter a bit in Chrome, not as smooth as in the other browsers.

5. Inverted colours (white text on black) are supposedly great for saving battery, because black uses much less power on OLED screens. Only the stock browser has this.

If only we could have a browser with 1. swap to change tab, 2. quick controls, 3. Flash, 4. smooth scrolling, and 5. invertible colours, that would be great! Oh, and some of the Dolphin add-ons are nice, like the Dropbox add-on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
The issue I have with stock browser is that it crashes on me unlike chrome or Firefox ;/ so it goes chrome for general web for me and Firefox for flash fun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonymil:
I'm with you on Opera Mobile. I use Opera on my desktop too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martimillion:
I just realised stock faster than chrome ! And i prefer offline model on stock browser <3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mssam:
OK, lets just get a couple of things on the record here. I could be wrong, but I think chrome is still in beta, so we haven't seen a finished product yet. As far as the stock browser is concerned, it is seriously lacking in the feature dept. ICS Browser+ is how the stock browser should be. That browser has a set of real quick controls and that browser is based off the stock browser! In fact, it should BE the stock browser. The bottom line is, the stock browser is just that - stock. No frills, no thrills, just stock...imo...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leoluisguitar:
I just deleted Chrome of my gnex, jelly bean stock browser is faster, smoother and those quick controls kick chromes ass ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Chrome got an update several weeks back that removed the beta tag.

---

Stock browser's got everything I want/need. I used chrome for a while because I liked the interface when it first came out, but stock browser is just as snappy if not snappier when loading pages, and I like the inverted mode for battery savings, even if it occasionally needs to be disabled for proper viewing of some sites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Stock browser is faster and better. The only problem is that the version of Webkit it uses is quite outdated. AOSP needs to keep that up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UBNAS81:
I use both - I especially like the sync, and how the tabs work in chrome, but the fact that a lot of the web is still flash, and chrome doesnt support flash, i find myself just using the stock browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niknDE:
Chrome is better now. It will replace stock browser in near future.

Sent from my brain using my fingers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
I use stock the most, but I do like Chrome a lot also. For now the stock one is faster and more complete tho.

I have a feeling that Chrome'll do really well on a tablet tho. With the bigger screen and all. So it makes sense that it's Google's default choice on the N7. My guess is it'll be the default browser on phones in Android 4.2 (or whatever the number will be).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
I like stock because of the quick controls and full screen mode. Chrome is good sometimes because it can download course notes from the school portal, something that the stock browser can't do for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokexz:
On both my Galaxy Nexus and Xoom, I use the Stock Browser because Google Chrome is just so weird. HTML5 is kinda wonky(the interface) and the pages scroll kinda choppy. The Stock Browser provides offline web pages (which is perfect for me since my Xoom is Wifi only). I don't use Flash on my Galaxy Nexus so I turn that off (makes it so fast and smooth) but on my Xoom I leave Flash on because I go on The Verge. In the end, I think the Chrome browser is terrible. I tried using it to replace my Stock Browser but it just can't, especially since it still doesn't feel like it's out of Beta. It sucks because the only thing I loved about the Chrome browser was the syncing ability that seems to now be broken on the Stock Browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metal_god69:
I switch between the 2. I do prefer chrome but sometimes I run into a problem with a particular website and stock browser will display it fine. Since the jelly bean update everything including stock browser has been snappier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdg2:
I just got a Galaxy Note 2 a week ago and started using the Chrome browser assuming it was the best but I soon found the links on some web pages simply don't work right in Chrome while they do on the stock browser so I'm now using the stock browser. But I wish it wouldn't go back to pages I looked at a long time ago when I press back.Once I close a tab I do not want to accidentally go back in to the pages that were on that tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmkindoll:
Chrome is more user friendly for folks who use Chrome on the desktop. I find stock browser is quicker, and smoother. Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I hate Chrome on Android, it's battery hogging and keeps syncing to my desktop and it won't stop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Agreed

I only have chrome for tab syncing that I love using. Other than that, stock jelly bean all the way!

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rafael S.:
Stock browser is definitely the smoother of the two for me at least. I went from using chrome on ICS to stock browser on JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beatles420:
Same. Chrome was pretty sweet for awhile, but stock seems to run so much faster now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniaryan:
chrome can sync and that's what i love!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scarmon25:
I'm not sure why but I really like Chrome. I have a ton of Google apps on my phone and they're all set to sync. I don't really have any battery issues. I get what I consider fair for what my phone does. The stock browser is nice but I just like the Chrome UI and function.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
I agree with the OP fully on this one. For the first time in a long time I'm actually very very happy with the stock android launcher.

Its incredibly smooth and fast. Chrome is Also good but not as smooth I feel. It still needs some work.

Stock 4.1 browser runs very well...no slowdowns or lag and very fast. I've used dolphin, opera, maxthon and chrome. They are all excellent. The stock Samsung browser is also very very good.

But anyway. This is the first handset that I have felt completely happy with stock AOSP launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt-kingz:
Dolphin > all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Chrome for Android is a great browser, it syncs well (even if you have full encryption on, something the stock browser can't do), but it suffers from being stuck on a very old version of chrome, there have been a lot of speed is since v18.

If you look at the chrome bug list, there is a lot of work going on around merging the Android code with upstream chrome and once that is done we will get a large speed boost from the newer base and faster updates.

Until then I have gone back to the stock jb browser myself as it's just that much faster and nicer to use at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I use Chrome so i can sync my bookmarks with my computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
I have to switch between the 2 constantly as I find different pages won't load right on both. For that matter tried dolphin and skyfire too. Annoying that usually one of the 4 (really 3, never had any better compatibility with dolphin) will end up working okay, but not in a consistent manner. Waiting on the day compatibility stops being an issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spookhc:
Chrome doesn't even have fullscreen.Its like browsing on a 4-inch screen :thumbdown:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Theres a new awesome browser, called holoweb (not in the play store yet, still in beta, a xda guy developed, search for it). It supports flash, is very fluid, smooth, fast, has an excellent interface. I used 2 run chrome + stock(for flash). Now i run Chrome + Holoweb(for flash). Plus its improving, it will soon be as good as chrome, except for device syncing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedunnyman:
Came from Galaxy S2 with Resurrection Remix and Chrome lagged a lot and would often freeze when I put the cursor in text fields to type text.

Will trial them both out and see how it goes compared with the stock Browser now - with the Note 2.

google chrome browser cyanogenmod

how can I install google chrome browser in cm 10.0.0 ?

where did you find the apk files for the browser ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexusaurus:
There's something called Play Store, its a new neat thing. They said you can download free and paid APK from there, and even they gives you free app updates. Crazy uh? Yeah I dont believe them too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tanzeelrana:
yes I know about play store. I want to add the apk file to the flashable custome rom zip file that I have for my cyanogenmod. that is why I wanted an apk file for the chrome browser that will work with cm 10.0.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dedzigs:
My opion..

Stock browser:

+Stock is stock.. don't need to install nothing, bookmarks is better then chrome.

-Slower then chrome, sometimes glichy like.. not response and autofill/save user pass.

Chrome browser:

+Faster then stock, easy to use, smooth with many windows opened, nice designe.

-Only bookmarks.. it makes desktop, other and mobile folder.. can't delete them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmsfang:
Is there a way for stock browser to sync correctly? I've found a few help files on it but they never work...

main reason I just don't use stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazydognet:
I use them both...mostly Chrome though, but I find there are some sites that work better with the stock browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Have a love/hate relationship with the stock 4.1 browser, but since no other browser supports full screen mode with quick controls (aka pie) I'm stuck dealing with these few bugs,eg. Selecting text to copy/paste/search doesn't work very well (simply put it sucks) and scrolling up/down often times is laggy/slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itzweber:
stock browser is definitely smoother on the gnex. Just seems like Chrome might require some better hardware to run smoothly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tritinum:
Best Browser

Almost all the browsers present in the play store are better than the stock one.Though Chrome and Dolphin Browser are the best according to my experience :D :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vanquish15:
One Browser was working great for me. It was very fast for browsing. However, it didn't really work too well with Swiftkey, so I am currently testing out some others. I gave up on Chrome a while back since it was too slow. Firefox was ok but I don't like the interface. I'm trying out Dolphin now and it's been good so far.

I installed Opera once too but I forget why I didn't like it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amtip:
I've tried just about every browser there is, and I always find myself back on the stock browser, it may not be the fastest one I've used, but it's reliable and doesn't bug out all the time like a lot of others.

What about kernel? You will release 3.0.8 for JB or still 2.6...?

In first post on screenshots there is no kernel 3.0.8 and I'm wandering if you will build it for your rom.

BTW. Great job with CM10! Can't wait for install on my device! :D and something new will be to mod (apks). :D

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!

BTW, is this running at 60fps?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
No. It will not work on locked bootloader as you will need a kernel different from the two kernels Sony released for our phones till date. And for a custom kernel you need bootloader unlocked.

But if you are a developer (not one who just copy / paste soma apps and say I have an own Rom) you know how hard it is (and I can tell you it is very! Hard
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
That even I know. And anyone who has sense knows. It's tough. To build a ROM.

Btw, if Jerpela ask for me to work together, i'll work with the team... But now...

I said that, if I only use FXP repo i'll never get booting ROM. So go, try it! Download CM and FXP sources, and build it! You know how to do that. If you can boot it, without modifing anything - i'll check repo changes - I'll close this thread, and never post anything in Xperia 2011 Mini series forum.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
I have not told that you only used their work.

I just told that you are able to build CM10 without much trouble, from the git repository... and you got pissed off.

I am sure that you have made lots of changes (and possibly your local repository can be from before it was as far as it was a few days ago).

No need to close anything. This is not to hurt you.

Yes but *why* is it failing on ApplicationProvider.apk and how do I fix it?

No, it's 100% the leaked stock build of Jelly Bean, the very first one that came out. 100% stock.

What is causing the OTA to not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
u flashed the leaked ota? or a rom based on it?

i think u have a custom rom..(a deodexed one)
