Web browsers that run well on Lollipop: CM Browser - Nexus 6 Themes and Apps

I hadn't heard of this one until now searching for something other than Chrome...and Dolphin and Boat have laggy frame rates simply scrolling text.
Very light and still has session management and so on.

I used it for a while when Google was updating chrome for material design and it kept crashing on my Galaxy S2 on Cyanogenmod 11. Cm browser was very light and fast and a really good web experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
And, @eqbirvin its on the play store. Search up CM browser and it's icon is orange with a cheetah on it.

My fav is Naked Browser which is designed very lightweight to use minimal resources and runs off Android Webview. It does not use data to do any tracking spying etc so its very fast and efficient, and also customizable. The browser was designed and made by an independent developer who updates often and always replies to support emails and play reviews.
I've tried every browser and always come back to this one for its pure speed.?
Check it out for yourself. I've linked the free version in the play store below.?

Has anyone tried this yet? Been using since last night and I have to say... wow. It's what the android browser should've been. Opera 10 was smooth, but this is even better with flash support now. Runs buttery smooth (iPhone like... smoother than any other android browser) even when I'm underclocked to 800mhz =)
Yes, better than the laggy stock browser, more smooth and support flash, for me the better mobile browser with safari.
you know yes....! Opera - need to be original browser in Nexus S
I'm liking it a lot more.
Tried it and uninstalled within half an hour, word-breaking for Thai characters looks terrible. Super lag compared to Dolphin Mini & stock browser...
I dont seem to get any reactions to anything I touch on webpages:S?
Wait reboot and fix permissions sorted it...BEST BROWSER TO DATE! I use the psx scene site as a benchmark which one dolphin and stock lags like a *****! On opera its perfect..very very smooth!
To enable desktop view:
opera:config>UserPref>Custom User>Agent-Agent>Type:Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00 >Scroll down the list untill you find the save icon (quite a way down the expanded user pref list) then restart and there you go
I have to agree. Opera 11 is awesome. (click for browser shootout)
dude is fantastic! !!!!
Thanks for this! I was wondering how to get the full engadget site to show. =)

Absolutely perfect, lighteningly fast, no checkerboards at all, no lag, etc... The fastest browser I've ever seen.

that's true!!!! I hope Cyanogen gonna change original stock laggy browser, for beautiful and performance Opera 11.
I love this browser as well, but some of the pages don't look like they should. Like m.db.no and mobil.aftenposten.no. (these pages are in Norwegian, but you'll see what I'm talking about). Any tips? I would like the mobile version, not the desktop one.
Edit: the m.db.no seems to be working as it should now, but what I wrote still holds true for mobil.aftenposten.no.

It's the old-mobile version of Google. You have to change your user-agent to default Android browser or iPhone browser etc. to see proper mobile version of Google.
what should I put for the user agent in the opera:config to get the android user agent?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Ya that is quite nice. I've used previous versions and none of them were quite perfect but this might just do the trick. Its quite a nice piece of kit, if I'm honest. I use Bank of America and can't use their mobile site in my area or even load their full site on the standard browser for reasons unknown to God himself but this using the spoofing lets me do just that which makes it completely worth its weight in Gold.
The lack of a user-agent preference in the settings area is a big downside. The browser's fast, but that's a setting that should be easily accessible. Going to the config page address and what-not is a pain in the ass.

System/app Dump?
Has anyone a copy of the 4.2 system apps? I would love to install some like the new keyboard, and I'm sure many others would love it too!
Quick Settings = FINALLY.
This is the one thing I could never live without from AOKP. I might actually not even need a custom ROM this time. I really like their implementation of it too.
I'm looking forward to the Swype like keyboard. I really like Swype, let's see if Google can do better
man i was looking forward to the "project roadrunner" :/ sounded like an awesome idea/concept. still I'm happy with 4.2
loving the multi user and photo sphere(take that apple!)

I wouldn't be able to live my life without Swype. It makes me wonder how I went through life typing one letter at a time But seriously, I really hope it performs better than Swype.
@knolly I'm in the exact same boat as you. I've always wanted that on a phone's stock ROM. After playing around with custom ROMs on my S2, I'm ready to just jump on a Nexus and stay on whatever Google decides to churn out right then and there instead of having to wait for custom ROMs to come just to avoid the poop that Samsung/AT&T likes to put on the builds.
Looks great, it looks like its consolidating jelly bean with all the features a big OS update needs
I wish for something like the leeks said where you could remove the OEM overlay (sense, touchwiz)

I doubt the "stock" browser will even be included in the build. I believe the only reason they kept it around on the Galaxy Nexus is because it shipped with it and they didn't want to deal with people losing their browser.

To be honest im not really thrilled about this. Chrome seams a little prmature to me. A lot of neat features sure but I regularly experience much better peformance on on the old stock android browser in actual browsing experience. Sure some benchmarks say its better but real world performance has been anything but. Just my 2cents.

It totally depends on the hardware it is running on. I can barely use Chrome (and dont) because of my limited hardware. A phone with 2gb ram and a quad core should make for a very buttery experience.

It's not to any extent unusable or "slow" but my native browser just rips! Idk maybe its psychological... the biggest place that ive noticed it is not in page renders but in actual usability of the page. What I mean is that they seam to render in about the same time=fast but on chrome I'm unable to selct links and there is usually some delay before I can scroll around or zoom where as on the native browser I can be halfway through a page load and already selcting another link...

Yep...Chrome isn't nearly as fast as it was on PC..
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:
I mostly prefer the stock browser myself, still use flash quite a bit (though i guess that it will probably be somewhat if not entirely broken on 4.2/Nexus 4).
But for other tasks i've preferred Chrome, especially with the syncing of pages and the fact it seems to handle pages much better than the stock browser did, especially in regards to forum attachements, download sites, etc.

Chrome perform really inconsistently on 4.4.2 Kit Kat

My N5 is on stock 4.4.2,
Having read that the Nexus 5 CPU throttle back when it hit it's preset temperature to prevent overheating (while charging or running intensive apps) generally doesn't affect much of the UI, most apps and gaming (still buttery smooth) but the throttling had affect Chrome so badly that it's absurb !!
When I'm charging, web pages takes ages to load on HSPA+ and never ever loads completely, the blue loading bar in Chrome will hang at about 9/10 of it's way thou page are readable but images don't load up. Pinch zoom and kinetic scrolling stutter, couple with Chrome hang for a good 2 sec before resuming itself. Web pages like the Verge, dpreview, gsmarena and xda forum can never load up completely and I'm getting incomplete texts and forget about images !!
I've initially though it's the N5's cell signal problems but atlas I downloaded Dolphin Browser, I can full load all the above mentioned web pages in about 7 - 10 sec. I think Google should really further optimize Chrome for upcoming Kit Kat updates, If they can make Chrome blazing fast on a x86-64 PC why not Android ?
I'll be sticking with Dolphin Browser for a while thou until 4.4.3, finger cross then
Anybody experience this problem too?

Exactly... chewing up to about 12% of juice during my N5 9hrs usage time, forget to took a screen shot thou...
Just today I was also wondering why chrome is so slow. Slow to load and really bad scroll stutter. My GS2 with CM10.1 browser so much better. How can that be?
But lots of people reporting no problems with chrome. Would love to know what I should be doing differently.

Short answer, Chrome sucks. First thing I did when I got my N5 was root it, install Titanium backup and freeze Chrome. I use Dolphin and Next for now. I do notice that in general, the browsing experience has gotten worse going from 4.3 to 4.4. Hopefully google will address this going forward.

Shouldn't use dolphin. They have some serious privacy violations with all their apps. I recommend Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Naked Browser. Chrome does suck though IMO.

You really trust the people at Dolphin. Its up to you guys. I personally don't like handing over my private data to some untrustworthy company in another country. Check the privacy thread out. Dolphin Zero still has privacy issues too.
I think Firefox supports flash and you can always sideload it too.

Who else prefers the stock browser to Chrome?

I actually started using the stock Samsung browser after I heard a reviewer include it in their video review under the software review section.
I actually strongly prefer it to chrome. The back/forward and bookmark buttons on the bottom that auto hide for full screen browsing are clutch. Also, the quick dial page, which at first glance seems to be redundant considering there is a bookmarks tab, but it actually is a super fast way to go through a bunch of frequently visited sites very quickly.
I also prefer how it brings up click able lists on the bottom of the screen rather than in a pop-up in the middle of the screen.
I haven't used a stock browser since safari on my old iPhone. Discuss.

No thanks. That thing is ugly and pain to navigate. Not to mention, good luck getting updates for security/bug fixes in a timely fashion, as is the case for any stock browser. Chrome keeps everything synced and easily accessible between devices, so it's much more useful for me. To each their own, though

Yes. I've traditionally used Chrome, but have started using the stock browser lately. I do like the way Chrome syncs bookmarks, but the stock browser so much easier to navigate. I just wish there was a way to get ride of the built-in bookmarks.

I wouldn't know personally, but I'm sure it is. Third party browsers get regular updates for security vulnerabilities and bug fixes, while stock browsers have traditionally taken much, much longer to get updates rolled out. That and the fact that Chrome makes everything so much easier is why I'll never use a stock browser again.

The stock browser is very well thought out and polished, not not to mention snappy. I'd choose Firefox as my 3rd party browser over the Google Chrome botnet any day.
I typically use chrome primarily because I can sync between my devices, but this conversation is making me take a second look at the stock browser. I'll play around with it today.

Will definitely try the above linked page to see if it helps.

Remember if you log into GMail etc even through a VPN Google has your IP address so don't use Google for a search engine or they still know who you are.

Either Samsung have pushed an update since when I switched to (first CM11 and now) CM12.
Or it is due to the different processors the Tx05s have compared to the Tx00 wifi-only versions.
I heard those LTE versions somehow have more optimization or horsepower than the wifi versions...
Chrome runs pretty fast for me. There's a few hiccups here an there but not too bug a deal. If you have a low-end tablet it may not even be good at running Chrome. Try Chrome Beta and tell us if it goes any faster. I use that at love it. What do you mean by laggy? Is it sloe to respond to touches or load pages? That may be your internet connection slowng Chrome down

In my opinion who have good performance whit chrome have Tab s T800(snapdragon) and who have bad performance have T805 (exynos). Because is impossible that everyone have different performance whit the same tablet.

It's not impossible for different people to have different performance with the same tablet. It happens often and not only with browers. I like Chrome because it's easy to sync my bookmarks which I have hundreds with my desktop, laptop and phone. But it is laggy on my tablet so I often use Dolphin instead which runs very smoothly and supports flash.
True on that one. Chrome can run differently depending on how may apps you have, how many are open, WiFi connection, and evenbbatyery life. Chrin cab be a bit laggy at times if there's multiple apps open or your low on space.

I do not believe. In my notes 3 Chrome runs very well always. My Tab s (T805) chrome, always turns bad, even with the tablet just formatted.
if someone is good and other is bad, there must be something underneath, or have different yardstick, or there is some version of the tablet that runs better, and others in which turns worse.
i use chrome simply because i have all my bookmarks and history from browsing on pc..
