Is there any way to limit the number of tabs on chrome. I seem to always have like 9 open. I wish i could set it to a max of like 3. Any ideas?
Close ones you don't need.

That was very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to post
He has a point. If you actually care, get used to closing things.
Thanks for the idea of closing tabs does anyone else know if there is a way to possibly limit the number of tabs that open in chrome?
Thanks
Your welcome btw....
Are they pop ups that keep opening tabs? If so make sure you have a pop up blocker on. Or stop looking at porn on your phone (jk), I gotta have a some of humor here.
If that's not it then stop opening so many tabs on top of each other, learn to close stuff when you done. It's a pretty easy practice to do. And I'm not trying to be a **** about it.

The best you can do is select the pop-up blocker in the settings; there is no 'limit number of tabs to x' feature.
I don't know what i am doing. Seems like i just cleared all tabs and now somehow i have 8 open. I have popups blocked. I need to be more careful
u could always use the stock browser
Tabs are limited to ten or something. On that note isn't there an easter egg in chrome when ur tabs reach 100? Could always shoot for that

Hey all, a while ago I was browsing threads for my old Moto Milestone, and saw a screenshot where the person had large contact icons on his homescreen (about equiv to 1x1 widget per contact). I thought I had read they were using either FolderOptions or BetterCut, but when I try to setup either, the contact photos always come out tiny. Am I messing up the setup of either of these, or could someone who has done this either either program, give me a hand.. Or even could someone point me to a way to do this? I always found the HTC People/LauncherPro Plus one kinda lacking, and REALLY lacks customization.
All I'm really looking for is a Contact photo on my homescreen that when I click it would either popup the little contact slide bar(phone/txt/email/etc) or just take me straight into HTC People contacts. Ability to turn on/off contacts name text would be a bonus!
Any help/app suggestions?
Wow.. 46 views and no one has a suggestion or even a comment?
How about this.. anyone know if it's possible, or what I'd have to hack, to increase the thumbnail size from the original Shortcuts -> Contacts or Shortcuts -> People to increase the size and remove the frame? (either full 1x1 widget size, or even 2x2 would work beautifully)
I believe you can use an app called "desktop visualiser"
Haven't used it for that purpose myself but i don't see why it shouldn't work.
Hope it helps.

OMFG That was EXACTLY what I was trying to find something to do! You are a life-saver.. I had given up finding something to do it, and just started learning to write an app to do it myself LOL Oh well, maybe I'll keep writing and see what I end up with.. but this is seriously the perfect tool for me.. It's gonna take over like 65% of my homescreen space now lol
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.
Hi all,
Before I venture into getting Dolphin or some other browser, looking to see if there are a couple of things the stock browser can do. Is there no way to get a button to go to the homepage? I know you can make a bookmark and go that route but one click is better than two. Also, is there no easy way to actually shut down the browser so when opening it the next time it opens to the homepage? How about clearing history, etc. on browser closing sort of thing. Do other browser have these sorts of functions?
Thanks,
Ho'okani

I searched far and wide on the expansive Play Store with the home page issue. The closest you're going to get is Boat Browser (Play Store link). It has a customizable bar at the bottom, where you can place a home button.
You can have it "prompt on exit" where you can check "clear records" and "do not ask me again." It clears the history and will automatically start your home page when you open it again. Boat Browser FTW!

Dolphin browser has the option to put the home button on the address bar - as well as the basic cache clear menu on exit.

I've read a couple threads in which the people keep getting the popup asking you to switch to a certain browser once or always. I'm trying to use Chrome always and it keeps on popping up the same message. I'm getting this primarily when using my widget from Android Pro Widgets for bookmarks. I also get the same popups when using the chrome bookmark widget. How do I set Chrome or any browser to open every time without the popup asking me if I want to use "x" browser on every link?
Also, how do I change my gmail bookmarks which are saved to my phone? I've got lots of old or auto generated bookmarks I'd like to clean out and I've deleted them from chrome but they keep popping back up.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

go to apps and select the internet app you dont want to use that is popping up and go to clear defaults. than next time you do something that triggers browsers it will give you the options you have installed. This works for any app's defaults such as launchers.
Can anyone help me, not sure if this is possible but thought id ask.
Anyway to change the layout of albums in gallery?
Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying notification?
Anyway to change the layout of bookmarks in the stock browser?
Anyway to have the phone open up directly to the dialer? Its extremely annoying searching for a contact thru the search with the extra step.
Anyway to get rid of youtube adds without being rooted. I dont want to pay for their subscription.

I will try that thank you.
Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.
The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
