HELP: Browser Doesn't Open New Tabs

New G3 with strange problem - the built-in browser will not open a new tab. For example, if I am in Google News and click on an article to view the page it won't open.
And no issue doing this with Chrome - only in stock browser.
Any help will be appreciated

Don't use stock browser? Android equivalent of internet explorer

Chrome tab & chrome tab..

i just tried it and it dose the same. its not compatible to do it cause when u do 2 windows with the same browser the phone sees u want to use the browser only
if u want to surf 2 websites at once just download another browser like forefox or opera

No other browsers show up as a duel window option. Have a bunch installed. This stinks.. I do a lot of copy pasting from one site to another.. Sigh..

i can look around and see if theres a browser that will allow u to run beside chrome. now if u hate the new tab view on chrome you can turn it off. just tap on the 3 dots. go to settings, tap merge tabs and apps and turn it off. you will have the old tab style back

Native Messenger app built-in browser question..

Is there a way to disable it? It's garbage. Is there a way to force links to open in default browser without having to select "open in browser" from the drop down menu?

I agree - I receive job notifications all day via text w/ links in them and on my Note 4 it worked fine, but on my new Note 7 it opens what I presume is a Webview minibrowser that only partially loads, I then had to use the drop down menu to load it into Chrome, which reloaded the page, which finally opened the link into the app that it was associated with in the system to begin with - WTH?!?!
So the only fix I found was to replace the stock app with the Google messaging app -

Browser app for matepad pro

Hello guys,
I've been using my matepad pro 10.8 for a while and use Microsoft Edge as my daily brower but suddenly a problem came
I cannot touch the already open tab and close it, i had to use the keyboard shortcut to open or close tab (CTRL+T/CTRL+W/CTRL+Tab)
I had GMS installed and could install chrome, but it just won't show in desktop mode so i have to find another browser
I'd like to use default browser, because it has a few perks that i like :
-show all opened tab
-Open tab in desktop mode by default
-No need to click the search bar when opening new tab
but it lacks the keyboard shortcut and it sucks, i dunno if this is a problem on my device or it is already like that by default
i tried a few browser but it always lacking in one way or another
Any idea which browser that could support my need?
Thankss

I would recommend Kiwi Browser if you haven't checked that out yet. As a bonus, its one of the few browser that allows you to install Chrome extension

Question Open links in browsers?

Hi All,
How do I open all app links directly to a browser. Currently I have 3 browsers would like a pop asking for which browser to open the link in. Instead it always opens in web view (inside all in dummy chrome). There's no default browser selected, I don't want a default. I use em all.

In general setting in each app, there is usually a setting for that.
