How it is compared to stock browser in the Galaxy S2?
As Galaxy S2 stock browser is fast and smooth enough, but still have some hiccups.

It's a beta, it's a first release, and it's already much better than Firefox.

I'd like to see active text reflow and full screen mode in the next release.

Yes!! smile.gif

Stock browser is very smooth. Other browser I've tried are laggy when scrolling/pinch to zoom, like Firefox, Opera, Boat, Dolphin HD,etc.

this + stock ICS browser quick controls (full screen) + text reflow will make this the best browser ever made, if you want something simple yet powerful, especially if you are a desktop Chrome user. Except when you have to view Flash content tongue.gif

sad to say, its probably not gonna happen, its not that Google doesn't want to implement Flash into Chrome, but Adobe is not developing Flash for mobile anymore.

Official quote from Adobe
QUOTE
Today Google introduced Chrome for Android Beta. As we announced last November, Adobe is no longer developing Flash Player for mobile browsers, and thus Chrome for Android Beta does not support Flash content. Flash Player continues to be supported within the current Android browser.

btw, something fun to watch happy.gif

No flash is not a big deal breaker except for those fan of FB games... Most site that show youtube already enable HTML5 embed... LYN should change the code for youtube also... can't view it from Chrome for Android...
