How do i exit the stock browser?
I can't find the exit button
I always have to go to task manager and to exit it and its always using alot or ram
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
You just press the home or back button. If not using it or the browser isnt busy doing something, the CPU usage of the browser will go to 0.00%. If the OS needs more ram, it will close the application on it's own, you dont need to. This is Android, not Windows. There other browsers you can download in the market that have an exit button, but with the stock browser, you just press the home or back button.

Opera browser is, by far, one of the best browsers in the market. Check it out.

Yeah, I don't know how I missed Opera for so long but it is either 1 or 1a for me right now. I like the features of Dolphin Mini as well. That and the fact that it downloads to a folder that's always easy to find in my recovery which is almost full already

Yeah, dolphin used to be my primary browser until I tested out Opera. Just browsing websites seem faster. Rather than reloading a page after pressing the back button, it immediately reloads the previous screen as if it was saved or something.
Just one of the things I like about it. =]

Try Boat Browser. Very similar to Miren. Miren was my choice too. I like Boat just as much.
I have miren and could post it if you need it. Pm me I still use it every day
If you could please post it. I just flashed cm7 today and went to d/l just to find it missing.
Ugh. Guess I'll try boat out in the meantime.

Rumor has it that Dolphin is recording your inernet travels and phoning it home. At least I read a thread on here one day about it. Enough reason for me to leave it alone.

+1 for opera mobile, looks like hell but handles most websites 100%. ROFLMAO when my cousin was like why do I have an oprah browser ha

The cool thing about Miren is that you could get your bookmarks from an HTML file. I have yet to figure out how to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin, Opera, or the standard browser (I got them in the standard browser but not in folders, lame). I have ChromeMarks so know about that.
Its still in the market. My Touchpad couldn't see it either running CM7 for some reason. Try googling it in the browser and then click on the link to the market and select "open with Market" and it should show up and allow you to download. Worked for me on the Touchpad.
Another +1 for Opera Mobile.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Damn, another great app taken off the market.
Guess Maxthon Browser is next in line for default on my phone.
Do you use titanium? When I first flashed CM7 I thought I had lost most of my apps but they are at the bottom of the list on titainium with a line through them. Just restore them. I thought I had lost the anarchy launcher from TriNitY ROM but there it was.
Edit: The opera mini is really light on systems

Yeah, I saw the same on the XDA News section a while back. A day after it was discovered, the person who discovered Dolphin was "logging" your internet travels released a method to disable it. Afterwards, Dolphin hopped on board and disabled that function in an update. Dolphin was again tested and was found to no longer log anything.
My Top 3 Browsers (for anyone who cares to know) are as follows, and are in NO particular order:
Skyfire
Dolphin Browser HD
Opera

You're good. It's free.
Edit: I prefer boat browser if it means anything
Sent from the MIUI powered E3D
Just discovered Miren missing myself. I still have the apk, but it started having...issues. It was rendering the full version of pages no matter what the user agent was set to. I'm going to try Boat, based on what's being said here, but I also really dig xScope. Might go that route.
Has anyone been experiencing this issue? I can pretty much download anything in a 'third party' browser like Dolphin HD, but my question is with the stock browser. I'm not a Dolphin fan since that whole "capture you information" issues with them, so I been getting myself use to use the stock browser that came with our SGS2..
I only had my AWESOME phone for only a week.. I came from a HTC G2, which I never had this problem.
How come I can't download anything? It would say download unsuccessful. If I go into downloads and press on the it, it would say "Download Failed. Can not download. The content is not supported on this phone.". I'm trying to download simple MP3s from the Coast to Coast AM site..
I never experienced this issue with my G2 on any browser. On my new SGS2, it can only be downloaded from third party browsers...
Any guesses?
It seems (as I type this post) someone in the G2X forums has also been experiencing this issue HERE.
Download astro file manager and I. Settings enable browser download. It'll let you use stock browser for dl. Its not a bug it happens with most stock browsers.

the only thing I use ROM manager for is to backup a ROM. It'll reboot into recovery, backup the ROM, then revolts when its done. You can install .zips from it. It does have ROMs available to download but its scarce. XDA site is much better. As far as I know rom manager does not install apps. I use titanium backup to back up my apparently plus the data within them so when I flash I don't have to download everything again

If someone knows of a better way than this, please post. I watch a lot of sports on my phone/tablet and this is the only non-headache way I've found. Firefox not hiding the web address bar when you're on a site and the stream freezing if you choose full screen mode (so I just zoom in until it fills the screen) are both super annoying. Also you have to "tap to load flash" every time you load the page, but other than that it is pretty solid.
It sounds like a pain in the ass but once you get used to what you need to do, it's not so bad. The s-pen is really nice for closing the ads

I am not trying to start a "what is the best browser" war here.
I am using chrome right now but, today I noticed it is seriously draining my battery. I am going turn sync off on it hoping that helps but, I doubt that will do a whole lot.
I would like to know what everyone is using and if it drains the battery a lot or not.

I've always used stock, seems to have most features I need and it seems much faster than the others most of the time, especially when compared to chrome. Chrome's always seemed really slow for me at least. Stock doesn't seem to kill the battery much either.

I generally use the stock browser, but occasionally use Chrome. The stock browser seems to have the best luck with displaying pages correctly.
everytime I try chrome, I'm reminded why I don't use it on android. Much slower loading of most web pages, web pages load weird, etc. As long as a stock browser can pull my chrome desktop bookmarks, that is what I use. Not to mention the stock browser has incognito mode.
Yeah been trying out Firefox and the stock browser lately. I like both of them more than chrome. They seem faster. Not sure how I like Firefox's tab thing though.
