Hi ehmjay, why not simply use a better browser such as Miren available for free from the marketplace? This browser let's you choose the UA from a list. In my humble opinion it is the best browser, for simplicity functionality and speed.

i just thought that stock browser with updated uastring would be faster than 3rd party ones

Hi, the stock browser isn't the fastest. And anyway changing the UA string of the stock browser will not change the performance of the browser. Try Miren it is very fast & very free.

Install a custom rom, preferably cm7

Use latest Opera Mobile (not opera mini) instead of the stock browser, it will be much smoother
It has also inbuilt flash, so you will have everything what you have in stock but faster/smoother

Chrome only works on ICS. Opera works in both gb and ICS.
Chrome is extremely fast, but in beta stage so it has some bugs. But nothing major.
Opera has loads of functions and works very well but is meant for really good data connections..

I tried both of them and they seem to be the same...
"ICS Browser +" has got the stock android AOSP design.
"Internet" is the Samsung Touchwiz version of the stock ICS Browser (and got some annoying bugs.....in my opinion)
So the "ICS Browser+" is better in my opinion

Help with stock browser

I just noticed that the stock browser displays websites in mobile mode and not desktop mode. This is very annyoing. Any way to set the browser to display sites as desktop form like Dolphin does? I have looked at the settings and can't figure it out.

Try ics browser from playstore, almost the same and can stay in desktop mode.

type about:debug as url - then in settings a new debug menu is availible, you will find a option to change uastring ++ other funky things..
On ICS stock browser, you should be able to go to menu, then select Request Desktop View.

Yes, but doesn't stay permanently
The about:debug is the most "stable" method

What's the best replacement for XZ stock browser (Chrome)

I read about lags in Chrome Browser (sincerly I didn't experience them yet). :fingers-crossed:
Which is the fastest (and most performing browser) for XZ? Where to get it? (Except those available on the Play Store?)

The XZ doesn't have THE stock Android browser, only Chrome.
One word...
Opera
Well mine has.what country are you in? Im in uk. Had stock browser from get go?

Dolphin Browser is the way to go. Everything just works and they have fantastic plugins and a clean, very understandable user interface.
I prefer dolphin above any other browser on mobile devices.
Firefox
the small app browser is good
Dolphin Browser for sure.

It didn't matter for me if it had the stock Android browser or Chrome, since I only use Dolphin.

I like the new Opera beta. Not entirely stable yet, but nice still..

If you're looking for speed, try puffin or lightning browser. If you want best flash support, Firefox beta.

What browser are you using?

I was using chrome from day one. Ended up using the stock internet browser to watch a flash video. It was much faster. Has anyone else experienced this as well?

I've been using chrome since it syncs with my pc. I've been thinking about switching to stock for the flash support, but iono, I'm so used to chrome
Yeah chrome has been my go to browser since day one as well. Stock browser seems really nice, but I just love chrome too much. Maybe I'll rotate them... But probably not.

Chrome for me as well. Just can't seem to give up the connectivity to my other devices. Open tabs, bookmarks etc...
Chrome as well, PC Sync makes it the clear winner in the Browser category for me.

How were you able to get flash working. Tried watching a flash video today using the stock browser and it kept telling me I needed flash installed
Edit:
Yup just I installed the latest flash version from the thread and nothing

Chrome, verry nice look, clean interface, fast and reliable sync.
An excelent browser!
disabled Chrome, don't like it, never have. I am currently using One Browser, very quick.
I really want to use Chrome, but I prefer the Android stock browser's tab management better, specifically that the browser closes when you close the last open tab. If this can be done in Chrome, I've never seen the option to do it.

I really like dolphin but it stutters for me on a lot of sites I regularly visit which I use Chrome and stock when the stuttering gets to be too much

Maxthon browser for me, it's fast in areas where I have bad data. And I always have bad data.
Chrome and the stock Internet browser are good for quick things.. But even telling it to give you the desktop site, it typically doesn't.
Everyone do yourselves a favor and try opera on this thing.
