I am using an SGS on the Orange UK network and I have a friend with an iPhone 4 on the O2 network. I just put our phones side by side and loaded up several webpages. With every single website his iPhone finished loading at least 4-5 seconds before my SGS did.
I have been feeling that my SGS was loading up webpages extremely slowly compared to most other phones, and I'm pretty sure it ain't Orange's fault as they are widely reputed to have the widest/fastest 3G network.
I am currently on Doc's 7.6.2 JPO ROM but I'm also sure that it was 'this slow' when I was back on the stock JM1 Rev3 ROM that came with the phone.
Are there any settings anywhere that might help?
Thanks.

It's currently on-demand. It's a general thing and isn't isolated to webpages with flash.
Our froyo browser is bugged currently (good going samsung...)
It downloads and loads flash into ram even when on demand or disabled.
Try pocketnow.com full site, it takes 120mb+ ram even with flash disabled
Only 30mb on eclair

I don't use the default browser. I use both Opera Mobile and Skyfire.
Opera is slow at loading pages currently

Maybe it's because of the number of browsers. How long has it been going on? Each little thing done could be done so many ways it asks you to set a default for every little thing. Haven't heard of that problem though. So how long has the problem persisted?

Two days and its really annoying because I use mobile internet more than my laptop so any page I open It prompts

Same here. Wish I could be more help. If it's only 2 days is it possible that it is just getting all ur defaults back. Have u done a wipe / flashed new rom?

I had the same issue on my Evo. Apparantly you can't set Browser to the default within browser. Use someting like twitter and click on a link and set/check the default from there.
Have there been any further developments regarding this? I prefer to use the stock browser, but due to this problem I've been using Dolphin Mini.
Has anyone tried it on SGS? It is supposed to use GPU accelleration which rocks on the SGS. Unfortunately I am on a business trip and do not have any data and cannot try it. How does it compare to the crappy stock browser?
The hardware acceleration us not implemented yet. Flash does not work. But opera is nice and fast at all. I think the final will be really good.
Ps: In my opinion the stock browser is a really good browser too.
Downloading right now... Will check it out
Its gray for now, can't wait until the full version is out
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Uses a lot of memory. Pinch and zoom not all that great. As of now opera mini is better. Hopefully the final version will be good. They have already come out with an update. Haven't tried it after that though.

Opens fine on gingerbread

No issue here. Fusion 1.8
I think the secret is flash. I may be wrong but on 2.1 you did not have it. On 2.2 you do. Set plug ins to on demand in browser settings. Should fix

How is it when scrolling? Smooth?, choppy? What about the pinch to zoom?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I have run a few roms...cognition, andromeda and now cm7 gingerbread but the browser lag does not seem to go away. This site on eclair used to have very smooth scrolling. I did a google search and have found a few people with the same problem. I have tried different browsers and opera mobile seems to be the smoothest but has a few noticable problems when opening a few pages. Some say that the froyo browser likes to keep your last page in memory at all times so when you hit "back", it is seamless, but im not sure if this is true. Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated, thanks for the feedback.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Honestly I am not sure what the issue is. First if you have not tried please change your plug in settings to on demand in your browser. That its the only thing imaginable that could be causing an issue. The browser in eclair sucks in comparison to 2.2 and 2.3 it is not even close
Secondly, stock is always an option
4 different people were nice enough to click the link, no one reported any issues.

Thanks for the feedback

I flashed back to Eclair, all of the laggy scrolling is gone and the phone actually feels more snappy. I know it sounds crazy but it is true, I'm going to update to Froyo and test the browser one more time If it is still laggy I think Eclair is for me for the time being. Such a shame that something that is improving something can wreck it, oh well.
Is the browser on Gingerbread truly awful?
Im gonna agree. I have problems navigating back on all gb roms, sometimes it just locks up and refuses to do anything, other times it takes ages to load pages.
I've given up on it and use maxathon browser.
Would be nice if we could use the browser from 2.2

I really hate the default browser on gingerbread, I hate it so much that I went back to froyo because of that.
The part I do not like is where I can't scroll a long page all the way from top to bottom with only one swipe. Samsung for some reason copy that crappy iPhone thing to this phone.
the reason I keep using the default browser not 3rd party one is because it continue to load when the screen is off. Yes, I only have EDGE connection.

I've also had many problems with it before i went to CM7.
Why using default browser?
Dolphin works just fine.
I find dolphin quite slow tho.

with no flash at all :>
So after updating to ICS decided to download Chrome. After doing so i found out 'NO FLASH', what gives? I did a search and found out this was known back in February. Regardles of this why push something only to criple it? Is Google becoming Apple or why didnt Adobe include Flash support for Chrome? I guess stuck with Dolphin or now try and use stock browers. What do you guys think of this? I am a bit pissed.

If something like that pisses you off, then you need to take a step back and take a deep breath.

As if you did not Chrome does not have flash. Flash is buggy and crashes and just crap. Any website that forces flash is pretty useless.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i beleive that the lack of flash is directly related to adobe's decision to stop releasing new iterations of mobile flash. the updates that adobe pushes are merely fixes for the current version of mobile flash. there will be no new version releases afaik.

Chrome
- fast
- sync with desktop
- did I say fast?
win
TBH stock ICS browser is pretty fast IMO not hard to keep it around for the occasional use of flash. Anyhow flash is on the way out with no more official support in 4.1. Wouldn't want to be an adobe shareholder
Only reason why i am asking is because i browse several website that run flash. Not really wanting to have different browser for different sites, but it looks like i will need to.

Not having Flash support on mobile = not having full web experience
even thought Flash is in its way out, it still relevant and widely use in a lot of popular sites (hulu, dailymotion, local news web sites etc) yeah they all offer mobile apps or mobile sites, but that is not the full web experience is crippled experience. The main reason I have an android is to be able to watch every freaking site like on my desktop and watch videos from earthcam and firstrowsports, if 4.1 is not going to have flash support then I'll just move to apple.
hmmm... before i use chrome... i have a little bit hesitation because it dont have flash... but some of the site has start supporting html5 and most of the flash site i used to browse also have no problem being open in chrome...
Adobe Flash Player for Android will die in a month, there is no reason to support it on a new browser. Read this
Have you tried Flashify?

There a few sites i visit that run flash and i tried to run them in stock browser and they DO NOT work so stock browser does not suppprt all flash running sites. I have reverted back to Dolphin for tab.

Opera Mobile is the best browser for me not only because it reads flash but it's the one and only to have dynamic text formating ability.. With other browser when you zoom in, text is cut on left and right side.
Adobe stopped flash development in Android devices , it's no longer supported
Not supported by Adobe. But there are still tons of sites which use flash on the Web !!
I can't recommend Firefox nightly enough. Fastest, most smoothest browsing experience yet.

Yes, Opera have been the best for a long time. I've gotten used to the start page together with Opera Link to sync favorites etc. They have been lazy on updates and bug fixes on mobile version though... too many old bugs.
