Why has Chrome on Android's native HTML5 date picker become really slow?
For a bit more info, I did some playing around with setting no min/max, max only, and min and max. Each has different behaviour/performance.
No min or max - clicking in Android will be very slow
<input type="date">Max only - clicking in Android will set your default value to 01/01/0001 - the first day ever. Not useful
<input type="date" max="1979-12-31">Min and max - default date is today, and it loads very quickly!
<input type="date" min="0001-01-01" max="9999-12-31" >https://jsfiddle.net/gpjc3xam/16/
Update
For anyone using this solution with Angular, please note that a min date in the year 0001 will not work. It seems that the year 100 is the lowest Javascript will allow...
