Goodbye dear Chrome (and CM!)

I have two nexus devices, Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet (first version.)  Both have been upgraded to Lollipop.  While Nexus 4 has been working very well, Nexus 7 has been experiencing terrible problems.  I experimented a lot and concluded that Chrome, the Google browser, is at the root of the problem.  No fiddling with settings seemed to provide any relief.  I started relying more on my I-pad and Nexus 7 started getting discarded for most uses.

Today I disabled Chrome on Nexus 7.  I have installed UC browser in its place.  It is a fantastic experience.  Life and vigor have returned to the Nexus 7 tablet.  Browser freezing and crashing, becoming unresponsive to scrolling motions are all things of the past!

I was so impressed with UC browser that I decided to replace Clean Master too with the cleaner offered by the developer of UC browser.  It is called UClean and has none of the clutter and overload of Clean Master.

I hope the good user experience will last.  In the meantime I do hope that Google will take notice and do something to rectify the situation instead of turning a blind eye to poor Nexus 7.
