I have encountered none of these issues so far - I updated two J1 (for our son), 2 Xperia X (my own old back-up phone and our daughter's phone), a tablet, an Aquafish (out of curiosity) and my actual XA2 (without encryption) and the Xperia 10 (with encryption).
I didn't do any factory reset.
The Xperia 10 feels a little bit unstable (some unexpected reboots and initial hickups with Here maps when trying to choose the SD card as memory for downloaded maps, for instance, but that have gone by now). Plus, the Xperia 10 still has a bad stamina (unlike the XA2 which is great in that respect). But otherwise, everything appears to be fine
I updated my Xperia X (single sim) via the in-settings update dialogue, and it got stuck in a bootloop. This was likely due to my endless tinkering, so I reflashed with the latest then updated immediately via an ssh session.
I've not seen any of the bugs in this thread so far. So, my suggestion - if you're seeing these kinds of issues - try a fresh flash.

And the answer is here: Yes.
However, I cannot see that the browser engine has been updated to a newer version, the backend?
More general:
Many people say that the stock browser is less than perfect in many ways, and some go to great lengths to install one that works better, is more up-to-date.
Do the updates address these issues and is the updated stock browser sufficiently up-to-date and generally more usable?

about:support shows: 45.9.1 - this is not a >50, expected from some new patch some days ago.
That's the same version as on Nuuksio
What patch?
Is this analogous to Firefox versions?
Firefox 45.9.0 ESR was the last version of that cycle, some time in 2017.
So what's 45.9.1 then?
What is the Security status of that version?
And - I don't know how you call this - compatibility with modern website features?
Please help me understand this - opinion, technical data, experience, all welcome. Thanks.
