Be careful with Chrome. I tried it on my Maxx as well as my Acer A500 and A100, and found that it generally slowed all of those systems down--even when I wasn't using Chrome. Uninstalled it, and things perked back up. And this was with the non-beta, final release of Chrome.
I find the stock browser in ICS to work very smoothly and quickly, with the added benefit of being able to sync bookmarks from my desktop Chrome, so I've found no big reason to look for a 3rd party browser.
