Is Chrome any better than the stock web browser?

I don't think there is, but that is just me. The stock browser is an improvement over previous browsers to say the least.
Not yet. The previous versions I tried left a lot to be desired.
There are those folks that will say anything Google puts out is better than anything else...I guess that is normal in an Android world. I guess the best judge of any app is what works well for you. Some will say that nothing beats Dolphin. So, pick the one that fits your usage needs best. Maybe it will be Chrome...it's a person preference.

I was a faithful dolphin user. The first app i downloaded on every device i ever get. But ics stock browser has dethroned it, i deleted dolphin after using the stock browser for a few days. And unless chrome can promise me better performance, i will stay with stock for a long time.

Sounds like me. I've been a faithful Dolphin user for a while, but I'm really liking this stock ICS browser. The one thing that kept me with Dolphin was the slide to access bookmarks, but that has been addressed in the stock browser with quick controls. It seems a little faster than Dolphin to me, and I think the text looks better, too. I've been trying Chrome, but so far I think it's just so-so. My biggest complaint is that it's slow to load the bookmark page. Also, if anyone knows a quicker way to access the bookmarks than hitting menu->bookmarks I would love to hear it. I don't know why they didn't include something like quick controls in Chrome.

I installed chrome and its very good, but chrome does not have any flash support so if flash is a must for you I suggest sticking with the stock browser or download dolphin.
The new stock browser also imports bookmarks. Chrome has better tab support and navigation with swiping and more. If you surf the web on your phone Chrome (no flash) or Dolphin (flash) will be better for you. If you simply go to the Web to look at something and then exit; like I do. Then the stock browser should be enough. why add software to the phone.
BTW. don't decide based on flash. That is rapidly dying technology. Google, Apple, Microsoft even Adobe has abandoned it.
