The stock browser stinks!

You try with wifi to confirm it's not the connection speed?

Actually, I started noticing this problem with Wi-Fi. I thought it was my router, so I switched back to 3G and no go. I was even going to make a youtube video and upload it here, but then I said, "oh well" and just used the other browser.
 
I have had this problems for a few times. The loading stopped there, either refreshing didnt help. i believe there is a bug on this.

i love the stock browser, tried opera, sky, dolphin, never liked any of them.

For all of you guys having browser load issues, try looking at how many open windows you have. If you have quite a few, kill a few of them and then go back to the window that is having the loading problem. Likely the problem is solved by this time...

Have to do that on occasion. You can only have 4 windows open. Some links open a new one without your knowledge.

Clockwork, even restarting the phone and using only 1 browser window still produced the same results for me.
 
I came from a G1 so I was familiar with the browser. However, ive had more issues with the dinc browser. I get the green bar stalling, sometimes links on the screen I can open ,other times I have to reload the page a few times before it works... strangely this happens both on 3G and my home wifi.

Restarting the phone seems to help and somewhere I saw it was recommend to reboot it once a day, im gonna try to start doing that.
 
i dunno

i just found out that you could have more then 1 window.. seems sweet. dont know when i would actually use it though..

in for answers
 
xscope is a pretty good browser. had it on my moto droid and brought it over to my inc. doesn't support flash but it is fast, has tabbed browsing, a bunch of cool features in addition to pinch resizing, and did i mention it's fast.
 
The stock browser works great for me. I too came from a blackberry and this is light years ahead of what I'm used to. I tried the dolphin browser but I prefer the stock one.
 
I started having the green bar loading problem today, and I just isolated it to the android Search widget. When I use that widget, it's either unresponsive or I get the loading green bar that never finishes loading. This just started happening today. I removed it and added it back again, and it still does the same thing. I'm now using the HTC Search widget instead, and it works fine.
