Has anyone noticed how awful the browser experience is on windows phone? It is even worse than internet explorer is on windows! I admit I own a nokia 820 which isn't the fastest phone around anymore, but it certainly should be decent. Comparing to 2 year old iPhones and Android phones, you can clearly see it struggles to load pages. And going backwards on webpages it loads everything again at the same slow pace. I almost don't see the point of having 4G!
Even on WiFi, it takes 5-10 seconds to load a mobile webpage. On certain heavier duty websites, it faulters and seems unable to even load the page, the loading bar just hangs on near complete for seeming eternity. I had this issue before on wp 8, which seemed to much improve when I uninstalled skype for some reason. Now there is no obvious solution. And to top it all off, there is no decent alternative in the store, just lots of half assed attempts.
Before you say it, I am running denim official update after factory resetting the phone. And yes I realise developers mostly optimise for iPhones and Android. I thought they were supposed to optimise the browser in this update, but it seems to have made compatibility even worse! Is this a bug, or is this really because belfiore and co need to pull their fingers out and yet again deliver on what they promise.
btw does anyone know if the browser on wp 10 is any better? Also is the browser better on newer phones, because there's no point buying a faster phone if the software is the issue.
