... The stock browser would be much better if there was an option to always bring up the "desktop site" instead of having to do the special request. If I'm always on wifi what's the point of always getting the mobile site?
I'm using Dolphin HD as my default browser. The main reason is that I am able to sync with Xmarks all my Firefox bookmarks. I'm also using Boat, which is rather fast and smooth.
That's a good point, I think that with Dolphin HD you can sync bookmarks with other devices using Dolphin, which would be nice. But I want to sync with my desktop/laptop/VDI sessions. I use Chrome everywhere else so I always have my bookmarks with me. The stock browser seems to be related to Chrome, but it's not the same and there is no sync with Chrome. That's too bad since most of my other Google stuff syncs just fine. You'd think that Chrome would save them to your GMail account and down to the tablet/phone.
Thats odd because my bookmarks came over from chrome ok after the upgrade to ICS.

Mine did too. As long as you've log into Chrome and enabled save bookmarks, then you should have them on the default browser.
I alternate between the stock browser and Dolphin HD. The stock browser would be much better if there was an option to always bring up the "desktop site" instead of having to do the special request. If I'm always on wifi what's the point of always getting the mobile site?
The stock browser does give that option. Click on the 3 dot menu button (top right), and check "Request desktop site".
Nope. Nada here. The only bookmarks that were on my tablet were the bookmarks from my Droid 2. Those came across just fine, but nothing from Chrome on my desktop PC.
I went looking for a setting in the general settings (nothing in the TP browser), and under Personal -> Accounts and Sync under my gmail account there is an error saying that "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Not sure if that's a system error or a service eror, but I also had email sync from the ASUS email app as well that i just disabled.
The last "Sync Browser" event looks like it was the night that I picked up the TP and brought it home and did the initial config. That's when it pulled down the bookmarks from my phone browser, but before the ICS upgrade.
