Anyone else worrying about the web browsing experience?

[shure2]

I've got a galaxy note running Samsung's leaked jb ROM. It's dam quick, and web browsing is enjoyable with the stock browser but no way near as fluid and quick with chrome.

Considering this I'm worried the n4 will be lumbered with a browser (chrome) that is already behind the stock android browser. Dolphin beta it's pretty quick but no flash.

Stock "Internet" and "Browser" are around somewhere. AOSP browsers are easily installed if you don't like the Chrome browser.

I think flash player support being dropped from android is going to be a bigger concern than the browser IMO. Although the last flash player still works with JB, eventually something will changed in android firmware updates that breaks it.

It's very possible that Chrome is weak because you are running a leaked JB rom.

I've run Chrome on my EVO 3D (with CM9), Asus Transformer (CM9), HP TouchPad (CM9) and HTC One S (CM10) and it runs perfectly. Fluid. Quick. Feature filled.

Also, it is not behind the stock Android browser. Now Chrome IS the stock Android browser as far as Google is concerned.

I agree, on my Nexus 7, Chrome was very smooth. On any other device that hadn't an official ROM, it was crap.

Chrome sucks on every device including the nexus 7 I am sending this from. It is so laggy and not 60 fps by any means. I hear there is an update coming soon though to make it better.

We can't be sure of anything until we get 4.2. Off topic: How long do you think they'll support the N7 with updates?

As long as the hardware can handle it.
The Nexus S (512mb RAM, single core) has 4.1.1, so i reckon a long time!

No reason not too, after all how hard is it to update stock android? It doesn't have a skin or anything to update.
