Chrome startup is still slow as fuck though.
Edit: and bookmark icons on the homescreen are still terrible.

This is the major reason why I don't use Firefox. Even something as simple as closing a tab isn't intuitive in Firefox. If Chrome gets the smoothness issues ironed out and adds in extensions (especially if it's the new stock browser on android phones) then beyond flash there won't be much need to look elsewhere.
Are there any limitations to the stylish extension, and other extensions, in the mobile browser?
I don't much like the default UI of the desktop Firefox, just as I don't much like the default UI of the mobile Firefox, but due to the power and flexibility of the desktop Firefox extensions I've been able to customize the UI to my exact needs and that's why I've been using it for years. If I can find extensions that customize mobile Firefox, say an extension to add quick controls, then mobile Firefox be become my main browser on Android as well.

I don't know why you guys don't just use Dolphin HD Beta. It's awesome.
I can deal with bad performance if I get to use bookmark/tab sync.
It uses the Menu Button of Shame and doesn't have quick controls.
You should do this, I'd be interested in your impressions.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm going to more than likely especially if people say they'd care to read my impressions ahead of time.
Not sure about limitations, but so far from what I've used nothing really major isn't there. It's interesting to note the Adblock+ creators mention in their news about the new standalone app that it doesn't work with FF. Yet they say they already have a much more poweful mobile extension for FF Mobile in the extension gallery already.
Take that as you will, but that's a big dev that seems to have no issues with it.
PS: FF's current look/skin is ugly, but I still don't see how it's usability is any different from say Chrome quiet honestly.

Download the Playboard app and subscribe to the NeoGAF channel.
Here you go.
Taken straight from Adobe's "Archived Flash Player versions" page. It's an APK, so just open it on your phone and install.
i can't really peel myself away from bookmark and tab syncing.

All right, so I've spent only about a day with my Nexus 4 (and Jellybean)-- I'd still been using my Nexus One.
I'm pretty happy with the device and the changes to Android so far. I'm not thrilled with the camera app which feels overly complicated now, but I suppose I'll get used to it. One thing that's throwing me off though are dock notifications-- ie texts and calls. Are they gone with Jellybean?
Oh, and while the device is a very nice build, it's quite large. I will be first in line of Google ever decides to do a Nexus Mini

This.
You get bookmark syncing, just not tab syncing.
You know there is one way to solve this problem.

I'm not talking about the pull down bar, I'm talking about red, numeric icons indicating a missed call, texts waiting, etc. (sorry if I have the terminology wrong
)Fixed. There was this one time i thought it was working, then it crashed and never opened again, on any of my devices.
Must have been a dream...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I really want the AOSP browser on my N7, but I don't want to rootIs there a stable browser in the Play Store that supports flash?
Firefox and Opera both support flash.
ICS Browser+ is the best browser for ICS, yeah. But the stock JB browser makes it obsolete, pretty much. The enhanced quick actions in the JB browser are mostly better than the customizable ones from ICS Browser+.
How do you close a tab on JB Browser?
Quick control > tab control (first one down from the middle > swipe which tab you want gone left or right
It doesn't work on my CM10 rom ( I can only select tab).
And the way ICS Browser+ let you customize a close tab is still faster.

It never had that, it could have been a launcher replacement you were using that did that for you. You can get one that does that now, i dont use a replacement, but others here can tell you exactly which ones do

Requires 3rd party launcher, but Tesla Unread is pretty nice:

Use in conjunction with Nova Launcher:

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Is contact syncing turned on?Kind of a massive problem.
Yesterday night I synced all my contacts to my google account.
Replaced my broken Note 2.
Logged into my account on the new phone.
Now I have no contacts
Help!
What is with your obsession on how to close tabs?
Being able to open multiple threads fast and close tab fast is the first requirement of a good forum browser.
If ICS Broswer+ can open link in the background it will become perfect.

Ohhhh. Ha! My only experience with Android was with LP, which I used from day one until I retired my Nexus One this week. I always thought those were native to Android
Thanks

the only problem i have ever had with chrome would be no flash support. it's not dead yet fellas. stop trying to pretend it doesn't exist...
well that and the problem with all mobile browsers:
the web is still built for desktop browsers. no matter how you slice it, you won't get a better experience with a mobile browser. people need to make their websites way more dynamic now (most sites, not all sites, some are steppin it up)
there's always a feature or two missing from the mobile experience, whether it be the comment section on a blog or maybe a live stream
just in general, mobile needs to catch the fuck up, especially on tech blogs, i mean you guys report on this shit, your shit should work the best. leave no feature behind.

Thats what I get on my Note. But on my Galaxy Tab 2 CM10 rom, it doesn't have it.
The tablet is for my dad not me. Otherwise I would reflash it.
New to the S3 and the Android OS completely, could anyone direct me to decent tutorial or guidelines of how to create and manage my own themes for the S3? I have a bunch of widgets and themes downloaded, just don't know how to put it all together =/

You guys are terrible for tech support. For 2 days I have not had a connection outside of wifi. The grey bars change but it never connects to 3G or 4G.
The grey bars just mean it's not connected to the Google services IIRC. No idea what's wrong though >__>
Anyone?
Baiscally CM has more shit in it, AOKP is more "open".
Which one has more things working correctly?
CM has more user, more support and more mods. Go with CM.
