Help So does Chrome not run on this thing?

I've heard a lot of whaling and gnashing of teeth about how craptastic and laggy the stok browser is on this tablet. Has anybody tried running Chrome? If so, how does it compare?
 
I've been using Chrome for 3 days now. MUCH more solid and tons faster than the stock browser. I had been using Opera Mobile, but have switched to Chrome as my default as it's even quite a bit faster than Opera. This is through work and home wireless as well as the LTE hotspot on my Razr Maxx. Worth the download. All of my bookmarks are synced and easy to use.

Hope this helps.

Just got my tablet a couple of days ago and I'm running dolphin HD browser right now. I downloaded all of the highly rated browsers and tried them, including chrome. But I like dolphin best so far. It seems that a lot of the browsers are not really optimized for a tablet...chrome for example makes you touch that tiny little settings button in the corner anytime you want to access your bookmarks. Dolphin uses a feature where you can swipe open or closed dockbars on either side of the tablet to access addons and bookmarks.

Just what I've come across so far.
 
Chrome is a heck of a lot smoother. Now I just use the stock browser if I need flash support (since you don't get that in mobile chrome) for HBO, etc
