Chrome on Nexus S

---

Is it just me or this browser is much slower than stock? I've been reading all these nice articles about how Chrome is better etc etc, but I cannot see how it's better. It's a memory hog and less snappy than ICS stock browser. I really think the 512MB of ram in the Nexus S is taking a toll with Chrome (same with the CPU).

Works fine for me.

I assume you on a stock, no tweaked rom thinking its smoothly alrite.

RAM is not the problem as much kernels had these new thing called "HBigmem" which boost 35-87mb more ram...

Like Matr1x has 405mb of ram instead of getting 334mb....

Chrome is definitely slower. I also hate it will slow to a crawl when typing in the search bar. I use xscope. It's the best browser. I've tried em all.

Very slow here too compared to the stock browser

And I thought I am the only one -.- Chrome is a little bit laggy. Starting to type is a nightmare. It needs 2 or 3 seconds to catch up on your typing...

Yup, same here... I really like it's features and looks, but it just don't work how it should...

agreed. it runs a bit laggy on bigmem and non bigmem kernels. i hope google makes it smoother on nexus s.

Its a bit laggy on GN too....

I agree, it's really slow compared with stock. Now i'm using the new Firefox beta, and it's really fast and snappy
