I watch a few hours of tv on it through out the day and sometimes run into buffering issues. But I don't think a different browser is going to solve that. Sometimes it's good for long periods of time, sometimes it buffers for a long time and get the error "cannot play media"
If you are on a 3g network, the stock browser by far is the best. But if your on 2G, i recomend using bolt. You lose a lot of the features the new browser offers but its faster on 2g. Personaly, im on the stock browser on 2g (battery life issues) and just use an app to make sure that when the browser is oppen, the light doesnt dim. Opera is simply useless on the torch
