I have a few browsers installed as well as Plume for a Twitter client.
It's starting to irritate me that every time I open a link to a Twitter page it asks me which app to use (and Plume is never in that list). I choose Browser and then Always. Then it redirects to a second URL, where it asks me again... In total, 3-4 times I choose Browser and Always. Then I finally reach the page.
But the OS doesn't seem to care that I selected Always, because I can try the exact same link again and once again I have to go through eight taps to get the page.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any possible solutions?

Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.

Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.

i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.
I use stock browser with quick controls turned on. This has happened about three times now. I'm on a forum andi have about 4 or 5 browser tabs open. I'm finishing a long letter and I'm hitting the submit button. Suddenly I'm at android's home screen. I hit the browser button and my letter is gone including all tabs.I don't know what I'm doing to cause this.i don't even know what buttonsi could hit to make all the browser tabs to close at once. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks.
You're running out of memory. If rooted, try changing your low mem settings.

If you are running out of memory while browsing the web, there is something wrong with your unit. That should not be happening.
Is that what's really going on? I thought maybe I was hitting a combination of keys with the outer palm of my hand or something.
My evo 3d has a gig of memory (800 something useable), and to many browser tabs, plus some music playing, etc will kill my browser. It's not really out of memory per se just the oom value of the browser gets up there too high. Especially with the values most people set by default on custom roms. What's the default for the tab?

I don't understand. How do I look that up?
It happened today also and I'm positive this time I didn't accidentally hit any buttons or keys.
Every problem I had went away when I installed Opera browser. No more crashes. No more stuttering, choppy YouTube videos. Working select text, copy, and paste. No more bumping the wrong links or accidently closing on-screen keyboard because I hit the spacebar wrong. No more opening windows because my finger accidently strayed across the screen. Everything just works now. Boy am I glad I tried Opera. If you're having any of these issues I suggest giving Opera a try.
Unfortunatly, Opera wont work for some sites that use certain javascript functions and most sites that I use break in Opera (tables & forms dont show up properly). Luckily Ive never really had a problem with the stock browser, but I think the reason why is because I have pluggins set to On Demand. If you ever feel like giving the stock browser another shot I'd highly recommend to keep the plugins set to on demand and clearing out the cache every once in a while doesnt hurt either.

Could you please give some examples of sites that "break in Opera"? I am using Opera exclusively and I haven't experienced that problem.
I havent tried using Opera Moble recently, but the last time I worked with it one of my banking sites wouldn't let me login due to javascript errors that were only present while using opera. Also, I use my tablet for supporting customers while out in the field and the primary site I support does not function properly under opera (things like javascript links, the div wrapped tables and embedded videos do not display properly or sometimes not at all).
Opera is great for sites using html5 and simple javascript functions, but I cant use it as my daily driver when it wont play nice with my development stuff and refuses to render pages properly that my clients create. I want to be able to use one browser for everything, not be in the middle of a call and have to tell a customer "oh wait, give me just a sec I have to switch browsers, I forgot your site uses a ajax generated, javascript pop-up and I cant scroll it".
I'd link a specific site as an example, but it would require customer permissiions to do so since their site requires authentication but here's a charted example you can see that while opera has issues other browsers do not: www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html
For the general public though, you shouldnt have an issue.
I am using IE9 (x86) on Windows 7 x64. And I am having a lot of trouble while browsing XDA on IE9.
The tab become so unstable and it can go not responding whenever i click "Thanks" or "Quote" . The tab crash most time when i clicked " quick reply" on the last post of the page and IE has to recover it.
I don't know if it is just me, or something else?
Anyone can confirm this?
Change browser. Use Chrome or Firefox.
If you want to keep IE, let me check it.
The browser lags to rool the page. IE 9 was a huge improvment over IE 8, but it still sucks.

I have used IE for a long time... I have Chrome also but i use IE most of the time.
So I just want the perfect browser. Here is what I'm looking for. I don't like how browsers I.e.. chrome has some words big some small. Htc one browser does his good. It also does a great job of fitting the words on the screen when you zoom. In fact it would be perfect if it didn't reload web pages and kept The active throughout day. I.e.. on aosp roms I can sign into a web site that actively updates throughout day and it stays alive. I can goto that tab and its still right where i left off. It seems as if the htc one browser constantly reloads tabs as opposed to just keeping them in memory. Is there a fix for this on htc one browser? Or a way to port a browser from aosp Rom or any suggestions that do a good job of this?

I use Opera browser. It saves tabs and shows them on the next opening of the app,, providing you don't back out of it and just hit the home button to exit.
On a side note has anyone else come from or have a windows phone because compared to IE11 on WP I find that both browsers are really slow.

Thanks. Does it save the "state" of the tab? Or will it reload the page automatically. That is the problem with stock is it automatically reloads the tabs. It doesn't keep the current state in memory

I just got my Pixel XL yesterday since I've set it up I've had this problem. When I open links, regardless of the app I open them from, they do not open in Chrome or whatever I have set for my default browser. Instead they open a sort of overlay WebView window. To clarify, these are not opening in the apps internal browsers (Like what is available in Twitter or Facebook). I have cleared all the default handlers, changed default browsers, tried from multiple apps, but this continues. I even did a chat with Google support and they claim this is supposed to happen. I have a video below of what I'm talking about. In the video I am clicking a link and instead of Chrome coming up, a window appears on top of Twitter and the link is rendered there.
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

Do you have any 3rd party browsers installed or any "multi-window" apps installed?

I do not. Chrome is the only installed browser. Every app I have was also on my S7 before I switched and it did not have anything like this going on, even on the Nougat beta. I have never seen anything like this before.
Gotcha, and what app are you using to show the links to begin with? Sorry if I missed it in the OP.
EDIT: It has to be the originating app?

This happens regardless of the originating app. It happens in Gmail, Inbox, Facebook, Twitter, my Reddit client, everywhere that has links that would normally be handled by the default browser.
This is part of nougat.. kind of.
Previously in android apps could use something called web view. Basically it was a built in generic mini browser that the app developer could customize to their liking and make it look however they wanted.
Now with Nougat they are trying to keep everything looking similar so apps can now use the mini browser thing which is part of Google chrome. Sounds like those apps your using might be using the old web view still

This is not a WebView window like I've ever seen. Nor is it a Chrome Custom Tab. I have never seen anything like what my video shows.
I guess I'm just going to have to do a screen share support call with Google and hope they have a solution, even if it is a factory reset.
Have you tried opening your Google app from the app drawer, going into settings > accounts and privacy, and disabling "open web pages in app"?
Ya, this is a confusing one.

I watched your video. Yes that's different from what I get. Looks kinda cool. Looking forward to hearing what Google tells you.
A factory reset did the job. The only explanation I can think of is that for some reason my phone couldn't set a default browser. Anything that had an open to go from internal to external browsers (such as Twitter or Facebook) showed "Open in" instead of "Open in Chrome" even though my system settings showed Chrome as my default. Also, one of my default browsers listed was the Setup Wizard. I am thinking this is shenanigans from doing a USB transfer setup from an S7 on the Nougat beta.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

The good news is you got it straight! :good:
Sorry to necro, but I have this problem now and I'm really not trying to factory reset after all the work I've done making this phone mine. Are there any developments on this? The WebView thing doesn't support YouTube which is killing me the most. A Google product that doesn't support YouTube...madness....
If anyone else finds this, disabling the Setup Wizard app resolves the issue. That app just tries to open all links rather than letting the default browser do the job.
I went through this exact situation, and couldn't figure it out. Here is a link to the thread i had started going through the entire process, its about 3 pages. It started with gmail, then got widespread. My end result was a reset also.
