Browser (stock and Chrome) hangs at 90% when loading

[Aatrek]

Using either the stock browser or Chrome on my Verizon GS3, the web browser works nice and quickly to open any links, but when it begins to load whatever page I want to view, it loads up to about 90% across the status bar, and just hangs there. I refresh, I kill the app and load it up again, I restart my phone, and I've even changed ROMs with full wipes in between attempts. It just... stops.

Does anybody else have this issue? My 4G connection is stable, I have plenty of bars in my mobile signal, but I can't find a way to resolve it at all. Sometimes it loads the page enough to read the content, but most of the time it's just a white browser screen.

Does this happen when you are on WiFi? Very strange situation, what ROM?

Oh, I forgot about this thread! It turns out that the problem only happens when I have a wireless tether app (like FoxFi) running. The browswer is fine when not tethering - I'm not sure what causes the problem, but at least I've found a workaround.

Installed ninesky browser. Better, not fixed. Much Faster and finishes loading, but still hanging at 90 for a a while even though the page is fully loaded on the screen. I have wifi tether, but it's not on. How would I changed the proxy settings? Any other ideas?

I have the same problem, but only for certain websites.

I did a side by side comparison with my LG Optimus G, and half the time the Optimus G finishes loading faster. What is going on?

I've even tried it on different Wi-Fi networks (home and work).
