Is anyone running a stable version of the Chromium Browser on the Bionic Webtop? By stable, I mean fast and does not crash.
I have attempted to run Chromium 5, 6 and 10 on WebTop2SD and they all crash with a Bus Error within several minutes of activity or inactivity.
Are there any other alternatives for stable, lightweight browsing on the Webtop?
I am not able to find the link right now. but i do know there is a thread in the atrix form about the webtop. it has a good list of working programs.

Here's 2 alternative browser I like and use...
Miren taken from another forum run great on the gtab (will update once installed)
UC is a great browser as well.
+1,000 on Miren. It's my browser of choice for Android devices. You can change the settings to allow you to use every inch of your screens real-estate, plus it's fast and intuitive.
Curious to know what advantages it has on Dolphin HD.
Is the Miren browser compatible with Flash 10.2?
I tried Miren for about an hour but it ran really slow for me. I do like the features and how it renders compared to Dolphin HD. For now speed is my main issue so I'll have to check back on this browser after a few updates and see if it gets better.
I really like Skyfire 3.0. Though I haven't figured out how to close individual tabs yet.
Can someone tell me how to set MIUI for desktop view? All the sites are coming up mobile.
Thanks
EDIT: Switched to the Miren Browser and took care of the problem.

Can this be ported to Gingerbread in general or to CM7 maybe?
I always thought of the android stock browser being chrome, but regardless no i doubt it just wait till its released for other version by google i seriously doubt your missing much.... firefox turned out to be utter crap.
I would love that
I would love that because it was really glitchy in NOVA CM9, but now I'm using modded gingerbread and using dolphin
there is no way to port chrome to android versions below 4.0. Sorry. It just requires full hardware acceleration, which we dont have either way..
i tried all (and i mean ALL) the browsers i could find, opera was darn good, but eats a LOT of ram (i was playing music and browsing with opera and suddenly the music player got killed...wtf. and opera process was using 170 mb of ram).
so, the best browser is ....maxthon browser, its smoother than dolphin for me, almost same smoothness as opera, has some cool features and gestures. try it out

its really smooth
running it now. Complained about it not being a tablet so I hope you wanted me to run this one and not the original / non-HD version?
Running Motley's kernel. Build 25.
Just finished it got 1456ms total. Default chrome for me gets 1825ms
It is.
I'm running CM10.
I've tried the default "Browser", Dolphin and Chrome.
They're all slow. By slow I mean "slow to load and render the page."
Using my PC feels 2-3-4-5x's faster.
Is this normal ? Are other tablets the same?
I never really used the stock browser ( i suppose I could take out the microSD card and test ).
I find the HD+ is superb for reading books (I've already cranked thru 4 books since buying it in December ) and superlative for PDFs/magazines.
^-- which is the main purpose I bought it for, so I'm happy with it in that regard.
But man. The web browsing stinks.
Hi,
you didn't decribe what is the config of your desktop
I'm using CM10 and Chrome or Browser and to my experience web browsing is as fast as on Ipad2. Which is ok by my standards.
Browser on stock is a little slower by my experience but also ok.
To know what slow is, you should try browsers on Nook Color for example )

Hi!
First of all - your PC is probably much faster than a tablet with a mobile CPU @ 1,5Ghz and 1GB RAM.
Did you try Firefox Beta or Dolphin beta?
For me the Nook HD+ speed it totally ok - I am using Firefox beta most of the time.

Yes, my PC is fast.
I'm running Dolphin as the default browser; I haven't tried FF.
My smart-phone is probably ~ similar in speed to my tablet, and it's faster than the tablet.
I type 'news.yahoo.com' into my tablet, and I sit for 5 seconds before the initial page load comes in... and it continues slow.

I would recommend trying Firefox beta...for me its definitely faster than Dolphin at least on devices with enough memory - on my phone FF is slower than Dolphin...
How is the Wireless connection of your Nook HD+?
I recommend setting your WiFi to 11n only - if possible and if you don't need 11g/b - I had slowdowns because of bad connections and the reason was the router connecting in 11b with ther tablet instead of 11n...

The WiFi connection and speed to my tablet was one of the first things I checked.
It's fast enough ( 500KB/sec->1MB/sec ).
Trying to narrow down "what is slow", it must be the interpreting of the site.
Javascript interpreting? Page rendering? I don't know -- I do know that opening a new webpage is almost always met with a +5 second delay where a thin blue line of "loading/rendering/interpreting" is going while I stare at a blank page.
I will install FF beta tonight and see if it's better. :good:
I've been using Chrome for a long time but it seems very slow to load pages. I've got a 25mbps connection so I don't think that's the problem. In browser tests, Chrome seems to be slower than a lot but OTOH, it has a pretty small memory requirement which seems important on a 1MB machine. I have a Nook HD and have been running MM for about a week. Chrome was slow on CM11 and it seems just as slow on CM13. Anyone using a browser they are really happy with? (FWIW, I tried Puffin but the interface was not a nice as Chrome so I gave up, probably too quickly.)

I started using Firefox a few weeks ago for one main reason. The additional add on of ad blockers. I do not have xposed and adaway on my nook right now so gave the adblockers a try. It seems to speed up my browsing a ton. I was a chrome fan, too, but there are so many intrusive ads now that it can't function. There is still occasional lag from whatever unknown issues there are on a 3 year old tablet and its antique processor but I am on the latest aosp and am p!eased it still works.

I use FF on my laptop but switched to Chrome on my desktop because FF doesn't agree with the hardware and Win10. Would spontaneously freeze or reboot every couple days. I will try FF on the Nook and see what happens. Thanks.

I use FF on my Toshiba with Windows 10 with no issues. It's my goto browser there too for the same reasons.
I use Opera on any android device, simply because it is the only one I know of that still supports dynamic text reflow, allowing one to zoom in and not have to scroll left and right. It irks me that other browsers do not support this.
