I have a Motorola Droid 4 running ICS that I use with Chrome for web browsing. I constantly have freezing issues though I can't determine any common denominators between the sites. I've read moving ads cause issues but Google caused a crash this morning and I don't believe they ever have moving ads.
There are 2 scenarios that cause crashes though they could be partially related.
1) When the page is about 80% loaded, the phone often stops responding for quite some time even with good connectivity (both 4G and WiFi). The page either eventually loads after several minutes or I give up and reset the phone.
2) During page load, if I try to scroll the page down (drag finger up the screen) the phone becomes unresponsive. This is usually when the page is mostly loaded but I believe it also happens after the load meter is complete. In this scenario the phone generally recovers but the copy/paste header eventually displays.
In both cases I usually get the various crash dialogs for random apps as well as Chrome (wait, ok). Pressing either button is dramatically delayed and sometimes never takes requiring a restart.
I am fully up to date on all applications AFAIK. I have tried uninstalling or App Quarantine/Titanium Backup freeze to stop things that I've read eat CPU and aren't used anyway (Facebook, Twitter, Imgur, Motorola garbage, etc) but don't see much improvement.
I would love to fix this, but I'm not sure what else I can try at this point. If this is a known Chrome issue, what other browser would be better (Dolphin, FireFox, default, etc)?
