Gave Firefox a try last night on my N7. It’s actually faster and smoother than Chrome. The only feature I miss from Chrome is when two links or buttons are close together, it blows them up so you don’t misclick. Probably the greatest feature ever made for mobile browsing.

Finally! I have been waiting for that fix. I have been so close to dropping Chrome because of this.

Still based on Chrome 18. Even Chrome for iOS is based on Chrome 21, and that’s not even using the actual Chrome rendering engine.

Perhaps the versions of Chrome that come out with the new RAZR’s will be better, but for now I’m staying with stock until they put quick controls on Chrome.

Somebody at Google needs to lock the Chrome team in a room with the Android team and not let them out until JB quick controls are working and it runs buttery smooth all the time (seems hit and miss now).

I thought this was just a Droid 4 bug. Glad to see it was fixed on my D4.

No . After using Quick controls+fullscreen on the stock browser there’s no way I’m using any browser on my phone without them especially since JB made them even more awesome.

It also happens/happened on my stock GNex/GSM/4.1.1 (no swiftkey etc).

I’m happy about the YouTube video control fixes and the that locking the screen during a YouTube video doesn’t lose my place in the video. However, I’d like a feature that I remember working on previous Android devices. I’d like audio from YouTube videos to continue playing when I lock the screen. There’s a bunch of podcasts/shows/music videos on YouTube, where all I really need is the audio, and I hate wasting the battery by having to keep the screen on.

I have that same issue on my stock honeycomb browser using swiftkey. Beyond annoying.

I wish I had Chrome on my VZW G-tab 10.1. Stock honeycomb browser crashes all of the time… I’ve used Firefox and it’s decent but there are also things I like about the stock browser more. Hoping chrome splits the difference but who knows when VZW/Samsung will update it to ICS.

Who else loves being 2 OS releases behind on a device that is still sold new at VZW for $630 + tax + 2 year data plan, purchased…17 months ago?

Considering that Firefox consistently wins browser shootouts on Tom’s Hardware and a few other sites, that’s an interesting take. You’re entitled to your own opinion though
