I was browsing Anantech, and saw an article on the Droid RAZR's browser. I was wondering if it was possible to port it over to our Droid 3? Wondering if any devs can look into this?
Here is the Article

Who uses stock browser anyway?
....
Motorola's stock browser is actually really good, much better then anything out there. I have had so many issues with Dolphin, Opera, and Skyfire (havent even tried mozilla, heard to many bad things plus no flash). I dont know if you have even messed with the stock browser, but its pretty amazing, I dont know what they have done to it, but its not the same thing that comes with ASOP android. I have used the stock one on my xoom, and its horrible.
Try Miren Browser
Stock browser is great now with Gingerbread, Opera was a better choice for Froyo tho bak in the day.
Wish we had the hardware accelerated browser of the GS2 tho, that would be the ****.

Have to agree. Miren kept force closing on my xoom, gonna stick with stock on boot, still trying to get thhe browser.apk from the razr board to see if it works in the droid 3
@ anarchy4sale
How'd you go with grabbing the browser apk?

Currenly the only thing keeping me on the hero build is the browser does anyone know if it is possible to port this over to a jf or cyan build?
thanks
Have you tried the hero lite builds? They should be pretty fast, maybe comparable to cyan's while you wait for a port.
thanks ill give it a go
limited functionality
after using the hero browser for a couple weeks, I can say the flash does not really make that big of a difference. You still won't be able to play most videos online. The multi touch works great and the visual bookmarks are cool. But, it is slower than the browser on cyan's build and if your running rosie you will be getting really close to maxing out the memory each time you use it.
This forum along with a few others running the newer vbulletin now are very choppy when scrolling on my nexus. I see that there are many new active dynamic components, like web 2.0ish, so it seems these bog down the browser more than before. Is this something with the browser not being optimized with this newest format? Or will it be like this forever?
Majority of websites I visit are smooth as can be. But just these new upgrades like xda and howardforums that have been upgraded are really choppy and slow.
bump this up. nobody have any issue with this?

Yep, which is why I reverted back to the old style
exactly, I did the same when browse using N1
it seems new UI heavy with CSS and javascript
same here i changed back but im kind of jealous of my cousin's iPad zipping through like butter and my nexus one lagging behind...
is this something that google can update the browser to acomodate? or is it just the way it is for the webkit browser...?
I'm a verizon subscriber, with a droid eris, I can upgrade in March and this seem like the device I want to get my hands on. One thing I've been searching for and cannot seem to find is, is this stock android, very close to stock, or motoblur
Thanks for your help!
Unfortunately it will be running Motoblur. As far as I know there is only one phone on Verizon that runs stock Android: the original Motorola Droid. I have no idea why phone companies insist on mutating Android and making it worse with their crappy skins and proprietary apps. It angers me soo much. If I get the Bionic the first thing I will do is root it and install a stock Android ROM (if one exists). I hate Motoblur/Sense/whatever is running on LG and Samsung phones.
So it'll probably be similar to the version running on the Droid X then. That's decent. As long as it's not as intrusive as Devour's Blur. hahaha
And I hear you on that one, I have the Eris, thank goodness it's running Stock 2.2.1 instead of Sense 2.1, cause even though sense is the best skin out there, it's still full of bloatware and slows it down
Actually, it'll be running a new version of blur, or maybe they're not even going to call it blur. All I know is it's definitely not stock Android. From the videos I've seen, it actually looks very nice and isn't overwhelming. I prefer blur to sense, but stock Android to anything. Just search youtube for Motorola Bionic, there are plenty of videos out there of the interface in motion.
its motoblur sadly but apparently its a modified version that makes it more stock and less blur which is nice..the att atrix gets the full unmodified version of blur which is gonna suck

I would shoot for an HTC Thunderbolt with an AOSP ROM/Kernel.
Beamed from my DroidX
From what I've heard, it's running an updated version of Blur. It's supposedly much improved over even the Blur found on the D2/X. I've always preferred DroidBlur to Sense though, myself.
There's always the option of rooting and going stock though, so I wouldn't let Blur discourage you.

I found a system dump, tried the browser, and surprise surprise it did not work on the D3. Are their any developers out there who would be willing to port the RAZR browser over? The benefit, a better browsing experience then we currently have on the Droid 3. Check it out.

Is there a smart actions port, cuz as much as i hate blur smart actions seems SUPER COOL!!
Less to do with the browser, more to do with Android 2.3.5 which focused on improving network performance.
Just curious. Please share your thought.
Quite smooth. Apart from a second of lag when application is just launched. No flash.

Stock ics browser seems to have better performance.
(on chinese release)
chrome beta- nice ui
buttery smooth
but no user-agent option
no flash support
no exit button in menu
One force close otherwise works on the Chinese leak. I like the tabs.
I like Chrome more than the stock browser. The way it zooms subtly when filling in entries, etc. This should have been the stock browser for Android.
installed it. quite good actually. but the adblock software does not work on it. doesn't help if you are on a limited bandwidth subscription from your carrier.
i'll stick with it, otherwise opera mini for those websites that are 'blocked' by my carrier.
It's been an amazing experience and chrome beta works smooth... There is nt much lag also and quite fun...
Lots of feedback!
I am jealous. I didn't tried the first ICS leak. Waiting for standard leak!
I find Chrome Beta to be better than the Chinese stock browser, mostly because it looks good. Speed wise it might be a bit slower though, but not by much. I like how it zooms into some tricky areas where a lot of links are confined into a small space(Page index for example)
Im loving chrome browser. I have no complaints. Dont have to worry about losing bookmarks and such now and its extremely smooth.

Please post all questions in the Q&A section
i have tried but to be honest i didnt like. I prefer opera mobile browser
