I'm a browser freak.
My fav actually is stock gingerbread actually...faster than any on the market in its pure form.... but Samsung screwed it up..no permanent desktop displays etc... How they can create a screen like this and not enable a desktop option is
beyond me. Even some of the other browser's that have desktop options won't display them here
Anyway this one is superb on a few fronts. If you don't have root it offers an excellent Screenshot option also.
Check it out.

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'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.
I upgraded to frosty jellybean, which I think is using the browser from the Galaxy Note 2.
In the updated browser, hovering over image which is also a link, opening the link a new window is no longer an option. Instead the submenu has the options to save image or set it as a wallpaper.
So I'm wondering if someone could upload the old browser apk. Or If someone knows of a fix to get the old submenu back (since the new browser is more fluid and smooth).
That or if I could remove the integrated video player in chrome, which sucks donkey balls, and replace it with the external samsung video player.
Does anyone else use this browser? I just discovered it today and I'm loving it so far. You're able to customize everything from toolbar buttons to the color of the layout. It has 'in tab' history and you can create website shortcuts on your home screen. The quit options are pretty detailed too but I think the most useful function is 'Restore Tab'. Another plus is the ability to take a picture of the whole page, not just what you're currently looking at. Only downside is it doesn't support gesture typing and there are ads in the history and bookmark pages, but I think those can be overlooked seeing as you're able to customize everything to fit your desire.

The stock browser is not applying my Accessibility settings when it first loads a page. I have the font to be augmented to 145% but each time I open a web page it's like I didn't set the option at all. Once in the page I go to the accesibility settings again and disable/enable (or viceversa) anything in it (like the 'force zoom' option, or the 'text booster') and when I exit the settings (without ever reloading the page) the settings are finally applied. It's like the browser finally reads the settings and applies them.
Before you guys recommend a "better" browser I know there are many other browsers out there including chrome but I prefer this one and I want to know if anyone has had this happen and managed to fix it or anything.
Thanks!
I tried every browser and none was as good as "browser". Turns out that someone uploaded an AOSP version of browser to the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser it's even better than the stock browser on the mini since this one is closer to the one I used to use on my S3 with all the cool nifty features (full screen mode, night mode, etc). It's really cool and it doesn't have the bugs ailing the stock browser.
