Hey! first post here! 
So I have used android for some time now and had no (major) problems on my Motorola razr with the stock browser but now that I have switched to Samsung Galaxy S3, I find the stock browser really really really bad.... here's why:
The browser will not go to homepage when I close all tabs or if I launch it but instead starts on the about:blank page. I have to manually enter google.com in the address bar to go to my homepage. Google.com is marked as my homepage in my bookmarks.
There is an obvious bug in Google's search bar. Lets say I type something, Google will suggest some results (I believe this is called autocomplete). If I click one of the arrows on the right side of the entry I am interested in, normally the browser would auto enter the text into the search box and I could continue typing from there. On my GS3, the cursor goes to the beginning and if I click at the end of the text bar to keep entering text, the browser automatically adds the next suggested entry. This makes autocomplete impossible to use which is a shame because it minimizes the amount of text to type on small mobile devices...
There is no "X" button to clear the search text box. Again this should be there.
The cursor is awfully slow. If I press and hold the backspace button to clear the search box, it takes 10+ seconds to delete the text.
Under Google images, if I click on a picture to see its full preview, and then click on the "Back to results" button on the top left corner, it brings me to the previous page and NOT on the image search results like it should do.
Anyways, I have tried Chrome, but it doesnt support flash and has its share of bugs as well.....
I sometimes believe people at Google are not even talking together...
Anybody has these bugs???
