No GIF animations on XWJVB update and only four pages in browser

as the title says, the 2.3 browser seems to be lacking somewhat. Cant get any GIFs to work even with third party apps like opera and miren. (I like gifs, part of the shame of tumblr)
Is this just me? Is there something i'm missing?
and the stock browser only has four pages. Booo!

Im on XXJVO, its not beta, and still not GIF animations in any browsers (stock, opera, dolphyn, skyfire, etc.).
It was ok in Froyo 2.2 and 2.2.1.....
Big mistake and bug in Gingerbread.
Any solution ?
Regards

Yep, i'm on the the newest 2.3.3 I upgraded through odin yet again to see if it was a bug in the 'beta' I got over havong four pages but no.animated gif's is really pisding me off! Admitedly its only because i'm sad and use tumblr. It defo seems to be a bug.

This stuff worked fine on froyo my girlfriends 3 year old I hone has no problem with GIF's.
Fyi opera does display gifs most of the time. Its a buggy browser though. I'm not a happy galaxy s owner atm.

I was think, maybe Flash Player is guilty, but from v10.2 to newest 10.3 version is same, not gif animation in any browser.
If someone will try, i really need animation from this site, but no work on Gingerbread, but on Froyo work:

[Q] Is it just me or...

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.

Looking for a rom with smooth browser

Hi im currently on cassies LA3 but the browser loses its smoothness after i visit 5-6 websites! Same with stock LA3! Is there any other rom ( custom or stock ) with a more stable and smooth browser?? Im using the phone's browser a lot but this is very irritating...

Have you not considered just installing a different browser instead of the one that came with the ROM? Try Dolphin HD or Opera?

Good luck! For me, Dolphin looks great so I use it when on WiFi. Then I use Opera 'Mini' when I'm on mobile data since it apparently loads faster because they process it in their servers or something like that.

BoatBrowser or its lite.
Skyfire is also good.
Too much features mean too much battery.

I find the Opera browser to be the best and smoothest, not the 'mini' for the Note, dolphin second.

[Question]Best Browser for ICS?

What do you guys think is the best browser for any Android 4.0 based roms? i personally use dolphin because of its easy access to bookmarks and awesome tab managing and smooth scrolling since it is like an overlay of the default android launcher. used to use opera, but it was just too ram consuming and slow upon first load. Share what you think is the best browser for you.

also dolphin, not as fast as stock, but as you say sidebars are awesome and handling new tabs is simply perfect. I dont wanna fastest tho its fast its just very easy to use nice looking and bugless also. I noticed some commands like copy to clipboard script on sites is not working but if only thats the price to pay for accesing your sites in one sec then im ok with it

Quick ICS Browser..pimpt stock

Chrome, I use it on all my computers so having the bookmark and tab sync is so useful, also its fast as hell.

Chrome!

I really wanted to like Firefox, as it's what I use on my computers, but scrolling felt unaccountably weird. I think it tries too hard to avoid diagonal scrolling. And it's a huuuge memory hog.

chrome and stock. Currently using stock though

Chrome is quite cool . With the sync stuff and all.. the only thing it s missing is a links history.

For me Chrome is number one by far...

stock has been great..
i tried chrome for a while and liked it, but just couldn't really get as used to it as i did with default browser

There is a surprising amount of ppl using stock browsers. :0 what is so good about it? please leave reasons if you can thanks

Must admit that I haven't used the stock browser for quite some time now. Using Opera as it just feels fastest. Tried chrome a couple of weeks ago but it took so much ram. However thinking of getting to chrome as I see that a lot of you have a good experience nowadays

As a fan of SlimOS, I'm using stock browser for its simplicity and lightweight-ness. I don't need those fancy goodies that Dolphin offers while on the go; I just need more battery.

Maxthon browser is the best!
try it u'all be impressed.

Best browser for nexus 7

Firefox vs chrome vs Dilphin ..
Addons vs speed vs gestures, which is better in ur experience ?

I periodically try the others, but keep going back to Maxthon. Not much in the way of add-ons, but then I don't need much. The built-in "reader" mode works for most sites and gives an easy-to-read, clutter-free experience.

Boat browser, by far.

Tried a lot of browsers but stock browser is still my favourite by far. Its Quick Controls feature is something I can't live without.

I was actually getting fed up last night with chrome and chrome beta crashing every 2 seconds so i jumped on play store and grabbed a random browser just for fun, i found UC Browser HD and so far i absolutely love it! It works great in portrait and landscape and it feels like it loads pages really quick. Also, i almost forget to mention two finger swipe for adding and closing tabs and a handy little toolbar on the bottom right that you can add shortcuts to, right under where your right thumb usually rests.

I'd like to mention that for me UC browser was horrible because it spammed my devices. I complained directly in their forum and asked for ad free version but they don't have a pay version. So for me UC was out of the game.

For me it's mostly chrome as I have no bugs and it works flawlessly with chrome on my desktop for bookmarks and tabs. Stock browser for everything else because of flash.. And the speed. Gotta love that speed.

It seems like everyone is stating something else. I think it's best to just try some and see for yourself.

Just like roms and kernels, that is the one universally correct answer.

I prefer using the stock aosp browser but on my n7 it geta wonky on every rom ive tried. It will randonly freeze up and fc and stop being able to go back to the last page. I dont have time to get around and try every rom because of time and because i have 3 users on the device so restoring is a *****. If someone could pm me a rom that the aosp browser (not chrome) works good for them id appreciate it.

Opera is amazing. Chrome is good. Firefox has really upped their game lately and I still hate stock.

Well, I use ad blocker, too. When using UC Browser the first page/start screen showed always ads. To be true, if you're willing you can ignore it... but I am very sensitive to ads. They annoy me. :angel:
For all fans of Dolphin browser ->
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319529
Right now I'm using stock CM browser.

The AOSP browser by a long mile, IMHO... Sure, the other browsers (Dolphin, Opera, Maxthon) might have more options (lots of bells and whistles), but AOSP has the edge in terms of speed and smoothness.
For anybody not rooted or unwilling to flash a custom ROM, then Lightning Browser is the next best thing to the AOSP browser... (IMHO, of course).

Hi, youdug...
I've never experienced any problems with the AOSP browser in Paul O' Briens MoDaCo ROMs... including the CyanogenMod variant I'm currently running...

On my Galaxy 3, I prefer Boat Browser (it's unbelievable fast),
But on my n7, I use Firefox because of f-sync, add-ons and flash...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Tried almost all browsers in market and my favorite browser is AOSP browser love that speed and flash support. But sometime using Chrome because of browser sync feature is really useful.

How do I get firefox to work with flash ?
I tried installing the archived android flash from adobe website and nothing ?

I've recently switched to AOSP browser, and I'm happy with it.
I used chrome before, but got annoyed by those popup bubbles when clicking links, because it ended up showing a bubble EVERY time I'd click something.
And also I can't stand their text scaling, most signatures on XDA were MASSIVE while actual posts were tiny.
I tried other browsers as well, every one had something that bugged me (like swiping from one side would bring up a menu or such...)
I still use Firefox occasionally when chrome or AOSP won't download something or for very rare flash.
