My browser takes lot of memory when using and it keeps increasing.I know it closes itself when i hit the home button,but what if i have to use springpad or any other cloud service or anything which also consumes a lot of memory.I have seen springpad and stock browser using 80-100Mb each.As it is springpad is so slow that it responds after after 5 seconds of clicking,and it either crash or lag.i can't wait for the browser to close at these times so i have to kill it.
Now browser has new functions and products by google,i just saw it.That's really good but i fear it will consume a lot.I used these today for the first time but after a while i got a warning sign that my browser memory is full.Now what is this?Though i cleaned browser history etc.
 
try a third party browser from the market. I recommend opera mini as it is really good. :)
i already have that but why everything from the market?what are these smartphones for?
Yeah opera is awesome,very fast.but watching images is not easy in that,to see the next image instead of scrolling right i have to go back and select the next picture but not in stock one and now google has added few apps as well and so i don't have to install from market and congest internal storage
