Hi,
The default / stock web browser in HTC Desire, is that it?
I found the user interface is not that good
- Is there any easier way to go to the bookmarks instead of pressing the "menu" button then bokmarks
- Is there any way to add FOLDER or GROUP in the bookmark?
Is this HTC limitation or Google Android limitation?
Its a No to all your questions really. What I do is have a folder on my home screen, and then create bookmarks for all my favourite sites and put them in the folder. Then I just need to open the folder and go straight to my bookmarked website. Its fast and easier this way.
Other option is to get Dolphin browser, an excellent browser. It`ll allow one tap of the icon at the top right to access your bookmarks. It uses gestures too so you can set one up for bookmarks.
Have used Dolphin since it was released and its always improving, but I still go back to the default browser as it does a better job of pinch/zoom.

I like to have 30+ bookmarks and prefer to organise on to folders. Opera 10 on my HD was superb. Any apps to achieve similar for the Desire?
You can create folders on the home screens and save bookmarks in them if that helps?
@ Firedup, thanks. That helps.
Another work round that I have found is to export my bookmarks from Chrome to Google Docs. I can then open Google Docs in the Desire brwoser and bookmark the Google Docs folder page. I then have access to all my PC's bookmarks from Desire. Not very elegant but it seems to work. But anyone know how to import the bookmarks from Google Docs?
One thing that is very handy is to use GestureSearch from google labs: http://gesturesearch.googlelabs.com/
You simply draw the letters with your fingers on the screen.
Ie, if you wanted to find a link to this page, you start by drawing an O with your finger, then and r then a g - and b then it would probably be displaying your bookmark.
I've recently rooted my Desire and am running DeFrost but I've noticed something different with the web browser. For some reason, I can no longer hide the fact that the browser is a mobile browser which changes the appearance of some websites. I don't like this.
Is there any way around this? I was wondering if my browser before was a HTC one so maybe switching to a ROM like Modaco or OpenDesire's official port would help. Thing is, I'm not particularly fond of Sense.
Also, I read something about there being a way to replace the hosts file so it blocks out the ads. Is this still possible in Froyo?
If you get Dolphin HQ browser from market, you can download a desktop toggles add-on, which switches between android and desktop ID
Will that work for all browsers or just Dolphin?
Or just type in about:debug in the address bar and "go". Then go to Menu > Settings > UAString
This only half works.
Some sites are now intelligent enough that even though you change your user agent to a desktop one that they can work out you are a mobile and redisplay a mobile specific page
about:debug doesn't seem to work in the default Froyo browser.
It's ok. I've found the answer here: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ion/6167-change-user-agent-android-phone.html
When you do about:debug nothing APPEARS to happen, but if you then go into the settings there are more options available.
Is there a way to open bookmarks without opening a new tab? My tabs fill up quickly and i dont see a quick way of opening my bookmarks without opening a new tab for each bookmark. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you're saying here? I just tested opening up a bookmark in my browser and it didn't open up in a new tab but the same tab I had open?
edit: do you mean you want to open like 3 bookmarks but don't want to have to go into the tabs and select a new one each time? If you have a certain set of bookmarks you want to open each time, I think you can put them in a subfolder and when you long hold on the folder you can open all in new tabs in one step.
i think he is asking how to get to your bookmarks without opening a new tab.
I will say that i have been pissed cause i couldnt find them and this helped a ton! LOL. And it syncs with chrome. sweet!
Hi all, I'm currently using Dolphin Browser as I find it smoother than Chrome, and I also like how you can swipe from the left to get to bookmarks.
One thing I can't figure out though, is that if I close the browser from "Recent Apps" menu, the next time I open it again it'll just show a default page instead of the page I was looking at last. Is there a way I can set it up to show the previously viewed page? I couldn't find anything under Settings.

Well, when you think about it it's actually a good thing, when you exit dolphin it clears the cache and everything I use Dolphin to do my banking for that reason. So if you want to keep your things around don't kill the app.
Agh so I guess it's not possible then. Its just that sometimes I'll accidentally close it, in which case I'd lose what I was viewing.
So this is a very quick and easy way to use your chrome bookmarks you've carefully collected on your computer but now your chrome browser ducks and is laggy. I have been looking for a way around most browsers not sure syncing chrome bookmarks for a while and I stumbled on this just today. So turns out if you have a second browser, for me it's dolfin mmm so smooth, and you place the Google Chrome bookmark widget on one of your pages, click one of your bookmarks, then it actually asks you which app you want to open this with and you can then of course default it to your browser of choice and just like that you can have a all your bookmarks at the ready for any browser
Another option is to export Chrome Bookmarks as HTML file (from your PC), put it on your SD card, and access it with: file:///storage/sdcard0/xxxxbm.html (or whatever path). Then create a screen link to that bookmark. Click the link and browser opens to your bookmarks. The HTML file is also easily edited in your explorers html viewer (or on a PC). "Most" browsers support the file:/// access (except Chrome).
