totally agree. Android "Browser" is like the IE6 of mobile web. I bump into so many problems trying to tame android "Browser". Lack of hardware acceleration for simple displacement animation, the best transition animation you can apply is probably fade in and out not more than 2 stacked layers. The canvas was missing toDataURL method, canvas pixel manipulation with alpha channel resulted in some fuzzy pixels scramble. Weird virtual keyboard behavior. It takes few seconds for the device to tell the browser that orientation has changed, sometime has to be accompanied with light shaking of the device. No svg support for some older models. And majority of android devices out there are not running the latest Android OS. Luckily Chrome is much better browser than Android "Browser". Kudos to chrome team to make the mobile web on Android awesome again.
