Will the HTC One M8 come with a native HTC web browser? I thought the native web browser on my M7 was incredibly smooth and slick. I HATE CHROME on Android Mobile. Pinch to zoom and browsing around was never fully smooth for me on Chrome, even on my LG G2 running kit kat.
From the reviews I've watched it seem like everybody is using Chrome to test the web browser, I'm hoping its just the Verizon guys getting the shaft and being stuck with Chrome.
Yeah it has a native Internet browser. i used it a handful of times.

no one care about browsing?
I use Opera Mini most of the time... It's by far the fastest browser you can have!
Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 is already pretty nice, but for everyday use I use 4.2, which doesn't support multiple tabs.
Are there any hardware accelerated browsers available for Android currently, other than the Samsung browser? I'm not sure whether the Opera Mobile 10.1 beta uses it, it was talked about a lot months ago but talk of such has since stopped. Additionally, Opera Mobile hasn't been updated since mid-November, and still has a lot of quirks (scrolling in general isn't optimized, text input boxes/soft keyboard behavior is annoying, incorrect page rendering etc). But either way, general panning and pinch-to-zoom is still noticeably smoother than with the stock browser, and it's got me looking for other options, which I can't find.
From what I know, Stock, Miren, Firefox, Dolphin, and Skyfire all don't use it either.

Stock Sense browser is indeed accelerated, Dolphin HD is as well. Skyfire is in a way, just not on the phone side of things in that all the web pages are rendered on the server side. Pretty sure Opera uses it both in the Mobile and Mini versions though I'm like you and hate the quirky behavior of it.
I have a rooted Incredible now running Gingerbread. I have found that some web pages formatted for android or mobile don't allow zooming either by pinch or on screen function. I tried the same pages with stock, Skyfire and Dolphin browsers. Google news for example. Or Droid Life mobile.
Let me know your thoughts.
Got the T-Mobile m9. Why is google chrome so laggy when scrolling up and down pages?
Play store tells me to log in but it's supposed to automatically right?
And sense home always quits when in the themes app.
Any idea please how to fix?
I'd use the HTC Internet browser from the market, as Chrome is just laggy. This phone is laggier though than the M7 and M8 browsing the Internet so prepare for that if you've used either of those, but don't worry if you've used a Samsung as it's faster than that.
As for google play store, i'd clear data on the app in the app manager and see if that solves it
Sense home issue is a mystery but try uninstalling any updates and installing them again, and if you can stomach losing your desktop icons, theme, font's etc, clear data on the themes app / htc home app too.
I find Chrome very laggy too. I switched to Opera which seems better. Not sure if it's something to do with the 810.
Thanks.
How can I import from chrome to the HTC browser?
Also why are all games crashing on my m9 alot? Ideas? Didn't have it this bad on my s5. Thinking to return my m9.
And the HTC keyboard is horrifically swift key is too. Samsung for me has the best by far.
Just wondering if anyone use Opera Browser. I switched to this browser since it does a nice job with word wrap and formats the text into a column that makes it perfectly readable. Dolphin had this until the Nougat update and now it lost it's word wrap abilities.
However with the Moto Z Play whenever I use Opera if I try to switch to a link to fast or do too many presses the app seems to lock up or take it's time to catch up. If it can't catch up it then pops up a screen to either Wait, restart, or shut down the browser.
I am trying to figure out if it's my phone or just the Opera browser that is causing all these problems.
Anyone else have these problems with Opera?
I have a Pixel XL which seems to run Opera a little bit more smooth and doesn't have this problem. However I want to use the Moto Z Play due to the excellent battery life. The Pixel while nice and fast and excellent camera just doesn't have the Moto z play's battery life which I need more than the speed.
I occasionally use Opera. Haven't noticed this behavior.
i get this a lot with Opera on the Priv with certain websites (Amazon Music is a trouble spot), but i haven't had any issues on the Z Play.
I would suggest getting in contact with Opera and see if they can help.
Across all my devices Opera is very inconsistent.It either eats up all available RAM or is just plain crap as a browser .
