Use Browser Switcher in the Market; it is a great tool to have for when that comes.

I still feel like the side to side gesture controls are too sensitive. Meaning if i try and scroll to right, it always does the 3D nudge (like I’m tab switching) instead of scrolling — hopefully that is improved as well.

It only just came out and its still in Beta. When the final version version is out then it will probably be the main browser for the next Gen phone (like the next Nexus)

I also agree with jayvanbuiten that it needs flash support. it is annoying having to switch between browser and chrome if i want to use flash.

i think it needs quick controls like in the default ics browser but not as much as in browser+

while I do miss flash on my phone sometimes I don’t find it really necessary. It didn’t always run great to begin with and I hate it being a battery hog. I found it most beneficial for a tablet. But if you know you’re going to use something in flash just use the old browser.

And who knows maybe someone will figure out how to create a hacked version that will work with it.

Firefox Beta has had all of Chrome’s major features for a while now. Oh, and it’s available for non-ICS devices. But I guess that Google Kool-Aid is just too good for some bloggers

There are reports about webtop functionality coming to Android. I called this out way back when Motorola announced the webtop for the Atrix.

Imagine your Android phone acting as the brain of your Chromebook. The phone will dock to provide processing power, Wi-Fi/4G capability, and connectivity to the cloud, while the chromebook will provide Chrome OS, a keyboard, and a bigger, higher resolution screen.

The perfect marriage of Android + Chrome is on the horizon. Get ready for it!

Google Chrome the best browser in the world!!!!! Now take that Apple with that broke down Safari!

it’s because android is open source, along with the stock browser. the chrome browser has never, and will never be open source, so that’s why it’s not in android by default
