Strange browser problem that I have noticed on different Rom's (currently have Fresh 3.2.0.0).... On some web sites, the page continues to grow wider even after it appears to finish loading. The page then slowly moves to the right and I have to keep moving the screen back to center. Some sites like XDA, never show this problem. It seems to be most common with some news websites, but I don't have a list.
Any ideas? I have plugins set to on demand.
Ok, I know this has nothing to do with the Epic Touch but I value all of your opinions about technology stuff.
I recently switched my primary email to be my Gmail account and since I did that I was going to try using pretty much all of Google's products since it makes things very streamlined.
In doing so, I switched from Firefox to Chrome on my computers. It's a great browser: love the themes, controls, add-ons; pretty much everything (especially once chrome on android gets ironed out and bookmarks, tabs, etc. are fluid between desktop and devices).
Unfortunately, there's a major kink in the armor I've found since starting to use Chrome. Google's own websites are acting wonky! Not all of them, but Google search & Google maps (two I use constantly for work) are acting erratically. See screenshot attached as far as the search problem. Maps is just really, really unreliable and slow. It will take 10-20 tries to get it to find an address, if it ever does. I'll open Firefox and it will find it the very first time, very quickly...same with the google search. It never shows the page I screenshot and is very quick and reliable on FF.
I'm confused and just looking for some insight from ya'll smart mofos.
Is it just those two sites, or are other Google sites affected as well?
Make sure you're using the Stable release of Chrome. (Settings -> About Google Chrome and make sure dev or beta is not after the version number.)
Have you tried swapping out your DNS servers? I tend to use Google's DNS servers. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (Let me know if you can;t get to that, lol.)
Something might be messed up in your registry.
I had to change to Google Chrome from Firefox about 6 months ago because the Reg was all messed up and causing Firefox not to play any video, and a few other things. Yet when I started Chrome everything worked. Instead of trying to figure it out I just kept using Chrome. Haven't had any problems since. Although you may be using a Beta version also and don't even know it.
It took me awhile to find a decent program for checking the reg, so I would do a search on www.download.com for registry or registry checker.
ps I hate it when cheerios goes down the wrong side of your throat. cough cough cough
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I downloaded CCleaner and that got rid of a bunch of stuff, helped with google search a lot. Maps is still sucky though, but I am considering trying out the DNS suggestion at home first as a guinea pig then here at my office pc. I'll let you know what comes of it.
I'm having a problem getting to cyanogen mod Nightlies as well. Those pages just won't load! IE9 would find. Also AVG keeps blocking those sites and wont let me unblock them!
I use chrome as well, and sometimes when i go to fb, chrome wont load the feed. then i reload and it works. this happened on every fb page i would go to. go to firefox or IE and it al worked fine so i knew it was on Chromes side, maybe the way the script was wrote. anyways, this did this for about 2 months. i kinda got used to it. but then it updated and it doesnt do it anymore. BUT, since i installed linux and chrome for linux, now the chrome on linux does it again. was wondering if anyone else had this problem. i know this is about google services not working right, thought i would throw that out there. dont know if it will help or not (leaning towards the not). just my 2 cents.
I have been using xda for a long time and the site has worked great.
I have noticed a couple of things lately and I think it might be on my end but I am out of ideas.
I am using Chrome to view the site on my laptop and work desktop and the default browsers on my android phone and touchpad running webos (and sometimes android).
For some reason, the site no longer ever recognizes me as being logged in so I have to log in with each browser session. This is after years of logging in once per device. Now when I log in, I get a message that says my user name and password are incorrect but if I refresh the page, I am then logged in and can go about my business for that browser session.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I am having an issue with Dolphin browser (don't know if others are affected) Every night I browse a bit before plugging in the phone and going to bed. In the morning, I grab the phone, open back up Dolphin and try and reload the pages. However, none of the pages will reload, nor will any new pages load. I have to exit dolphin completely and reload for things to start working again. The data on the phone is obviously working as my weather and email widgets as well as email loads properly in the morning.
Any ideas?

Not really but I would test it with another browser. At least then you will know if its just a dolphin issue or something more

I'm also having this problem when using the 2013 theme and firefox. What browser/ad-ons are you using?
A work around for now is to use the 2010 theme by either selecting it from the bottom left of the page or adding "&styleid=16" to the end of the URL. eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450418&styleid=16
Firefox has been giving me warnimgs for the past few months about redirects with pages with ads on them, and is still doing it, while the redirects are happening, so the only way (with expecience) for it to still redirect is for the HTTP header to be sent by the server. SO *something* is triggering this. :|
