Hear lots of.people.raving about it but.is.it just me or are the settings options limited and is it all that,examples are when you go into bookmarks and select the chrome tab no option to creat folders in there,when pinch to zoom the text doesn't resize to fit the screen .I'm use to dolphin which seems for more user friendly .Any tips on getting the best out of chrome as I think I need to get on board with it then I can link it with my pc and tablet

I also couldn't find the option to switch between desktop and mobile mode.
When you press the menu menu on the chrome top bar you have an option to "Request desktop site".

I think the rave about chrome is less about its options and more about its pure speed. I personally thing the stock android 4.0 browser has more options. Although this latest update of chrome made it kinda sluggish IMO
Lack of a true exit button is why I'll continue to use Dolphin as my browser of choice
Gestures in dolphin is fantastic, hopefully chrome will have similar support.

Btw guys, dolphin user, where the hell is the tab switcher now in version 8.0? Been trying to look for it, no dice. It was there all along on the previous versions, when swipe left, in line with the add-ons(at the bottom part).
My favourite thing about it is that you can have chrome tabs open on your desktop and bam - click the button and they will appear on your phone. It is pretty smart.
Lack of Flash can be slightly irritating

Flashify is the app.
In the latest Chrome update you can play embedded YouTube videos by clicking on them and it opens them with the Youtube app.

See if the browser you use has a 'User Agent' option, if it does, change it to desktop or something. that will disable mobile veiw.

It just use almost any third party browser, they pretty much all have that option
I use skyfire, and they have the option to change right in the toolbar.
Most every non-stock browser (Firefox, Miren, Dolphin, Opera, etc.) has the option built in to set the User Agent string to desktop.
The sense browser won't work on non-sense phones.

Skyfire is a good choice for you because its default is NOT mobile view, so you would not have to change anything, just install it from market
Not exactly a Galaxy Nexus exclusive question, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to alter the Chrome User Agent to force Desktop version of websites. Perhaps similar to what ICS Browser Plus does. Thanks!

Chrome now has an option to request the desktop version of the site you are viewing. Just hit the menu button and check the tickbox.
I noticed that, however, I was wondering if there was a way to set chrome to default load the desktop version. For some reason, mobile sites bug the hell out of me

If you hit the settings button and check the box for "Request Desktop Site", every site you browse to from that point on will load in desktop mode until you uncheck the box. This is how it works for me.
How do I set the stock browser so i can close it properly after use so when it reopens it opens on my homepage rather than the last website i was viewing??

Found no exit Button but you can use multitask and swype Browser out. When you Start again your default hp comes.

Can anyone else help?

So, i am on att i1317 4.1.2 android with multi window enabled.
Is it possible to open any url from gmail to chrome in multiwindow automatcally? this would be a great boost to the productivity rather manually dropping gmail and chrome into two windows.
I thought that was what pop up browser was for. .. I know it's not Chrome but still. ..

Popup browser is pretty much useless for the following reasons:
1. It comes as a popup rather fit as a multi-window slot
2. If you need to read more and make it full screen it reloads the entire page again making it very inefficient thing to do
3. being a popup its mostly obstructive to the base window
4. And finally its not a chrome
So, would have been nice to have a way to open urls directly in the chrome as a multi-window rather manually doing it
Everything else on the phone works fine, but the Facebook app crashes multiple times a day.
I have to go to the home screen and then recent apps and swipe it away to get it working again. Sometimes even that doesn't work, and I have to go to the task manager and end the task before it'll work. Any ideas why?

its application's fault, not your note 2.... official facebook app has been known to crash very frequently
One of the more stable versions is 2.0, I use that but to be honest I in some ways prefer the website alternative. Bookmark the Facebook site in your browser, add a shortcut to this on your home screen and it's a somewhat better way to use Facebook. I was getting annoyed with it being so slow and running in the background so much. Each to their own though!

I don't know where this comes from because it works pretty much ok in my experience.
