Well the symbian browser always was a dead end. I'd have bailed long before I did if it wasn't for Opera.

True that, Opera was king. Now unfortunately will be just another Chrome-clone. People are screaming bloody murder, and the old version was put back on the store.

The very ONLY thing where the stock browsers are above the others is the start up time. It bugs me A LOT that Chrome and Opera take soooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong to load. If I open the browser it's always for a quick search on something. Taking 20 or more seconds to start up ain't quick, mr Opera. I have found myself using the android browser more often lately due to that reason.

Dont remember Opera being that slow on my N900 and on the N7. Slower yes, but thaaaat slow definitely not.

Wish Windows Phone 7.8 has some nice browser alternatives, but no joy. Only when jailbroken there is some old Opera version that kinda works. Unfortunately most WP devices need special hardware to root :/

IE is fine but very basic. Annoyingly so. I am killing for a Chromecast. Hoping a UK release isn't too far off.

Anyone noticed a drop in battery life since the new iOS7 was released? My iPad 4 is about 60% of what it was! I swear

I ditched my iPad before it came out but a hit on battery life seems to be a common concert. Hopefully Apple optimise it in future updates.

I haven't noticed a drop in performance myself, but I have read that there is a problem with some people on Twitter. One way I've seen suggested to combat this is to turn off 'Background App Refresh' in the general settings. Not sure how much use that would be but it could be worth trying.

I have been too, but it just seems unnecessary complicated.

Just for the sake of doing it? A full ad blocker is great. Does it include all browsers, games, etc you install or just the stock ones?
