I don't have any speed issues with Chrome. It doesn't feel any slower that the stock browser. Getting new tabs going and moving through them is faster in Chrome because of the screen swipe gestures. My problem with Chrome is sometimes it will not load a site in desktop mode or it will be finicky about it. The 720p screen really doesn't require mobile websites as default -- it should be the other way around -- desktop by default and "request mobile site" as the option. Also, text input in forum comment boxes like this one are incredibly buggy with Swift Key + Chrome. So I end up switching between the stock browser and chrome depending on what I'm doing. In fact, and I hate to say it, Androidcentral.com forums run like ass on chrome. And I know i'm repeating myself all over the place, but I must once again remind folks to run an adblocker if they are rooted because it speeds up webpage loads dramatically when all those adverts get filtered out.
