Quick tip if you feel Chrome is running choppy or laggy

[myculito]

One of my few frustrations with the tablet has been a laggy feel while browsing in Chrome. So after a bit of research, try this tweak and see if it feels faster for you:

1. In a new tab, surf to chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area

2. Change value from "default" to "512"

3. Click button on bottom that says "relaunch now"

Enjoy!

Tested the 10.5" at Bestbuy during the week-end and found Chrome was quite laggy. I installed the Beta (that i usually use on my phone), it was not really better. Scrolling on web sites like dpreview.com wasn't smooth at all.
I have to test again I guess. That prevented me from buying the tablet. For me web browsing experience has to be great a on new tablet.

You have to remember to close all the open apps on those display units at best buy, sometimes almost every app is open lol. The demo unit I tried everything lagged till I closed all those running apps.

That said, my unit at home is smooth on all fronts.

I have the 10" here at home, and that's what I'm experiencing on Chrome Beta, which is what I use.

I think my Nexus 5 has spoiled me.

This trick helped immensely. Thank you for posting it. Now I just need to wait for root for the 8.4 and I'll be able to get rid of some crap to speed it up even more.

The particular item: "#max-tiles-for-interest-area" will be highlighted at the very top of the page in yellow as soon as you enter the address. It's the only thing that will be highlighted. It will say: "Maximum tiles for interest area Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android". Change the option below it.

Thanks it did improve the browsing speed on chrome. I was a bit worried because of the lags. The browsing was faster on my sony tab z then on tab s.. not any more .

I have tried Chrome browser (with max-tiles-for-interest-area = 512) on several 10.5" and always find it quite laggy.
I have closed all apps, etc.
The scrolling on web sites with lot of pictures like dpreview , theverge.com, etc. is definitely not smooth. An iPad air for example is lot more fluid.
I like the 10.5" but not sure to buy it until I see a good web browsing demo on it.

I have found the Next Brower to be very good

My iPad lags bad and even freezes sometimes viewing live blogs. Was about to throw it in the trash but will take advantage of Best Buy $100 trade in offer.
