3.1 browser stability

[ethion]

How is browser stability with 3.1? I would say this is the biggest issue I have with 3.01 version of the xoom. the browser either gets slow loading pages or completely closes with a crash.

I would like to know what people with the update think.

Browser works great in 3.1, haven't had a crash yet. Doest lag when scrolling on XDA 2010 theme.

With the update and the new quick controls I'm back to using stock browser full time A++ would browse again

Yea the browser seems a lot more stable so far, that's for sure. The quick controls are cool too.

Browser is snappier. Quick controls are improved. Ability to scroll is greatly improved and I prefer the method (hide images until you stop scrolling).

The browser works noticeably better in 3.1. Scrolling is definitely smoother than before on sites like Engadget, CNN and XDA. Flash video does still impact performance though IMO, which is why I set plugins to "on demand".

While scrolling is smoother, I've noticed that the tradeoff seems to be fillrate. If one scrolls too quickly, you can actually see that page filling in rather annoyingly at the bottom of the page. I wonder if it would be a good idea for Google to limit the scrolling velocity (much like the iPad) to reduce that jarring effect.

Lastly, not a single crash for me... yet.

browser is MUCH improved. With the exception of flash, I compare all mobile browsers to IOS. With the quick controls and smoothness of scolling, I think this browser kills IOS now!

Thanks for the response. I love the stock browser but the bugs were killing it for me. now I gotta wait till my xoom updates!
