The 4.3 build of AOSP browser isn't compatible with 4.4, so it seems that we have to wait for a new build to be released. For now I'm sticking with Chrome Beta.

On a side note, kitkat is freaking awesome!

You're not going to get AOSP browsers to install on KitKat unless you have root and push it in /system/app, installing it normal will not work. You can get 4.4 AOSP browser from a CM11 rom.

Personally, Naked Browser have all I need, so I have no need for any other browsers.

It gets updates faster than the stable version and with the recent one, it looks exactly the same

All the promised features of 4.4 takes Android from good to great. While they may seem subtle, the adjustments definitely improve the user experience visually and operationally.

I've been using Boat for a year, but the text reflow/wrapping no longer works now that I've upgraded to Kitkat. I'm visually impaired and need quite large text, so this is a deal breaker for me. Is there any browser that will reflow text as Boat used to? Failing that, can I downgrade back to Jellybean, and hope that Boat sorts itself out quickly?

Dolphin seems slower since I updated to 4.4. I get more crashes too. I'm sure Dolphin will update their app to address this. On 4.3 Dolphin ran great for me. Pages loaded fast. UPDATE: I just dowmload ans installed the Dolphin Jetpack app. The browser is considerably faster now. I'm not getting the force closes I was before.
