How can I get a browser that I can change the user agent, and not lose all my bookmarks? AOSP worked fine for me on my note1.
I use ICS Browser + to have a dedicated "desktop" browser, plus the thumb controls are great. It pulls bookmarks like the stock AOSP ICS browser. I started using it on my TouchPad, but use it every once in a while on my phone when chrome won't request desktop view.

Ill try it, thanks. I have a ton of bookmarks I don't want to lose, but I use desktop almost exclusively.
Going to try this...brb.

I've been using third party browsers such as Dolphin HD and XScope for quite awhile. I decided to give the stock Gingerbread browser a try. I set my homepage to Google Search but can't figure out how to navigate back to my browser homepage. I can get there by pulling up my bookmarks but is there an easier way? I don't see a home bottom on the browser anywhere.
So this is a very quick and easy way to use your chrome bookmarks you've carefully collected on your computer but now your chrome browser ducks and is laggy. I have been looking for a way around most browsers not sure syncing chrome bookmarks for a while and I stumbled on this just today. So turns out if you have a second browser, for me it's dolfin mmm so smooth, and you place the Google Chrome bookmark widget on one of your pages, click one of your bookmarks, then it actually asks you which app you want to open this with and you can then of course default it to your browser of choice and just like that you can have a all your bookmarks at the ready for any browser
Another option is to export Chrome Bookmarks as HTML file (from your PC), put it on your SD card, and access it with: file:///storage/sdcard0/xxxxbm.html (or whatever path). Then create a screen link to that bookmark. Click the link and browser opens to your bookmarks. The HTML file is also easily edited in your explorers html viewer (or on a PC). "Most" browsers support the file:/// access (except Chrome).

Quick question.... Chrome is not being 'remembered' as my default browser. So if I use for example Google's widget for internet favourites. Every time it requests me to select a browser. (Chrome or Samsung's stock browser). It never remembers the option even though I set chrome as default.... Anyone else having this issue. Anyway round this? Obviously if won't let me disable the stock browser.
HI Andy,
Did you ever figure this out?

Is there any other browser besides stock Internet that supports the hover option with the Spen? I enjoy opera but the scroll option got me hooked i just don't like the stock browser. Any help? I tried chrome, dolphin, cm, and think i read somewhere fire fox don't. I love this option and need it in my life
I really like the note 7 stock browser though i really hate that most browsers have a tab button to see open tabs.
Is it possible to get tabs up top like dolphin browser, boat browser, like a normal pc browser, etc on the stock browser?
