For any of you out there that like Google chrome, I recommend dolphin browser. Very good layout similar to chrome and Firefox. Dolphin has never crashed and can sync across all of you devices. This browser even has a voice search option. If other are any reasons that this browser should not be used, please inform me of your thoughts.
Uh, this isn't a question... so can a mod move this to themes&apps?

Anyone who uses Chrome on their PC will know what I mean when I say is there any Android browser that allows you to search different websites from the navigation bar? For instance in desktop Chrome if you want to search youtube for Lady Gaga you just type in "youtube.com Lady Gaga". Is there any Android web browser with that kind of functionality? Android Chrome doesn't seem to do it.
Thanks for any help.

I use the stock browser and Chrome in that way with no problems. I think, there is something wrong with your settings.
I just reinstalled Chrome on my phone and typed in "youtube.com Lady Gaga" and it didn't work, it just searched on Google. Is there a setting you have to turn on?
As far as I know, the mobile version is fairly new and didn't see any options to enable it. Desktop chrome came with it already functional. The only mobile variation I found was using Firefox w/ the youtube add-on. Which sucks because I hate Firefox.
I love the dolphin browser you should try that one not sure what you are trying to do.

In Chrome on desktop, you can / have to go to options / search settings and set up these shortcuts (if not already present). I've only just started with new Android device - I assume there is a similar place to set such on handheld. e.g. On my desktop, type 'w' 'p' '<space>' auto-changes the address line to 'search wikipedia' (or like wording). I assume you see the same on your desktop when you type 'youtube.com', as per your message.
If nothing else, you can do '"lady gaga" site:youtube.com", in the mean time.
i love the "single column view" feature of opera bcs it just make every website accurately fits the screen but it drains battery a lot...so pls tell me some good alternative to opera which has similar kind of feature.....
Dont know what feature that is, but the most popular browsers, are Dolphin HD and Google Chrome...

i have not tried these browsers so pls tell me do these browsers make the website page fitting to the screen automatically as the page opens?
Opera rocks, I still use it for daily browsing.
Although I do have Dolphin (for view websites with a desktop view), Chrome (Pretty fast) and latest Firefox, that is also awsome.
Anyway, for me, still the best is Opera, at least for daily use :cyclops:
I hate how I always have to "request desktop site" when using Chrome. Has anyone found a way for it to permanently display desktop sites without having to check the box each time?
No, but that is the main reason i don't use chrome as my primary. Dolphin is my primary browser now.

I may end up switching back to Dolphin Browser for the exact same reason.

What is "Dolphin Notification"?
Bump
I'm honestly not being a jerk. If you ask Google this question you will have your answer in seconds..Google will also answer the "view too large to fit in drawing cache" question you have in your other thread.

I didn't find an answer to either question. But, I understand your concern.
Why not enable it and find out and report back here...shouldn't hurt anything and you can always turn it off if it's not something you want

To answer your question.
It enables you to connect from a browser, sort of like how mobile chrome sends info you use on desktops chrome to your mobile chrome.
In example, I use Google maps on my desktop, I'll look up an address and walah, it sends it to my mobile browser. With dolphin, when Google maps gives me a result, I have an option to send to "dolphin browser". It just does what chrome already does.
Hope it helps.

Ah, I see. Thanks very much.
I love the fact that it syncs my Chrome bookmarks into Dolphin. :laugh:

Saw someone on the forum mention Maxthon browser so decided to check it out, it's actually really fast. However I can't seem to get it to sync bookmarks with the desktop and the addon I downloaded for it to bookmarks fails to login to google, does anyone know any other way to get chrome's bookmarks to sync with it?

Maxthon can only sync with its own desktop version browser. Personally I prefer Maxthon rather than chrome on desktop, it has better basic functions like built-in adhunter, screen snap, webkit/IE engines, video downloader etc.
Yeah I installed the desktop version, created an account, signed into both, imported bookmarks on desktop version, but it still won't sync to mobile.
