When I got an Nexus 7 finally, I just added the old stock browser for Android to it. It's not too hard to do really (assuming you are rooted/bootloader unlocked [required]). If you're unlocked and rooted, it just takes a few terminal commands to add the old stock browser back.

Tap to zoom works much better on the old browser and the quick controls for it are a feature I can't live without.

I wrote a small guide[1] on how to do it on one of the Android forums for anyone else that prefers the old browser over Chrome on Android.
