This has been bugging me for a while now and I wonder if it bugs other people too.
When launching a link from a web page and then returning to the same web page the browser doesn't return to the point on the page where the link was. It goes back to the top of the page. Meaning I then have to scroll to the part of the page where I was before.
This is really annoying. Any ideas how to rectify this issue? It happens in the stock browser and dolphin.

No one experience this too? What's the deal?

I love the browser, but for some reason pinch zooming on it SUCKS!! Its really annoying to zoom in and then it moves all the way to almost the opposite side.. basically it doesn't stay in the place on the point I zoom in on.. is there a setting or something ?? Also.. this is the best/most popular browser correct??
Thanks

Are you using dolphin HD or no

I use the hd version. Love it. Imo better than the stock browser.
Love that Dolphin HD and can't say I have the pinch to zoom issues. Sometimes I need to adjust but its hardly an issue. Usually on larger pages. :confusedface:

What version?

xScope 6 is my favorite browser.
I uninstalled Dolphin Browser HD. But there is still a folder called TunnyBrowser in myfiles. That folder is 6.2mb and contains 25folders and 407 files in it. Is it safe to delete that folder?
I have now switched to Opera

I believe that folder is the Dolphin cache, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, I have deleted it many times now without an issue.
I am yet to come across a browser that can do anything better than the stock browser. I really think the 2.2 browser is damn good. Maybe Firefox can make me change my mind when it comes out but I doubt it.

I doubt it too. The Beta installed at like 50MB in size, and was horrifically slow as well.
I really should give the stock browser another shake, I still have a grudge against it from my android 1.6 days, where the stock browser was fairly horrible.
I use dolphin HD on my EVO. I think its much better then the stock one. Seems to load faster and you can change it to think you are a DESKTOP and get the full web site...
Maybe you all don't notice it, but I bet it happens all the time and maybe you just don't mind??
I am using HD, and if you pinch zoom lets say 60-90% zoom, and take your fingers off the screen, it does not stay where you zoomed in at.. Which means you have to try to find the area, zoomed allllll the way in..
Or you can just zoom out, rinse and repeat the same process, lol..
Seriously, haven't any of you used an Iphone? Talk about perfect (browser wise)
Dolphin HD would be better IMO, but the zoom is BROKEN..

+1 on the pinch zoom issue. When I zoom, it jumps back to the left side of the browser window, in some cases, basically taking out of view the part I wanted to zoom into in the first place.
I was wondering what the deal was myself...nice to know I'm not alone.

My dad has the same phone as me, he just got his and his does it too..
As I said, I think EVERYONE has the issue, but they just don't either notice it, or understand how a zoom feature should work..
I was about to take a video of the issue, but I think it pointless, because everyone has this issue..
I just wish there was a way to fix it.
Just tried zooming in on all corners, left right etc etc and it went where I was zooming. Didn't automatically bump me to the left ... I have seen that happen though at times.

I think what it does, is its trying to auto correct itself..
Try zooming in "a little" then focus on 1 word, zoom to almost max, let go.. I will bet that word will not be in view anymore.
I had this issue with the old Touch.. Which was just ****ty compared to today.. But compared to the Iphone.. I was hoping the EVO would be atleast on par or better..
I do notice that when zooming in max, or close to, it tends to gather the text and move left, yes. I usually don't zoom even half way so that'd probably be why I've only noticed this occasionally.
That is kind of annoying.

Its annoying when some sites are not mobile friendly and you need to zoom in to press submit or something.
Yeah that is very annoying with the screwed up zooming. Mine does that too that's why I switched back to stock browser. Stock seems to load faster imo.

Is there a way of enabling the zoom buttons (+/-) on the stock browser in GB as it was on ec05? Noticed them gone in ef02 and eh17. Havent made the move yet to ei22, but I understand it's gone from there as well.
Searched and found a post from earlier in the year but no replies. I hope this thread doesn't meet the same fate...
Not to be a jerk and bump my own thread, but over 100 views and no replies? This is not a good sign. I know a lot of people use Dolphin or Opera, but I am a fan of the stock browser and would love to be able to quickly resize the font. Yes, I can do a pinch zoom, but the frames dont always resize to the display width properly that way.
Are there any known fixes or solutions for stock browser lagging while scrolling?
My Issue...
After an extended amount of time using the browser, pages will start to "skip" or "lag" when scrolling. For example, I will place my finger on the screen to scroll a google results page, and without removing my finger I will scroll up or down (doesn't matter which), and during the scrolling I will notice the screen lag. Lag, as in the screen appears to freeze briefly, and then pick up where my finger is, giving the appearance of "lag", "skipping", or "jumping".
I think the important key here is that my finger is not removed from the screen. The problem does not occur when I flick the screen to scroll.
Noticing that the problem happened after an extended amount of time I tested clearing the cache, and force closing the browser. And that does indeed fix the problem, at-least for the time being until it begins to do it again.
Thanks for any help you guys can give, or directions you can lead me in to fix this problem.

I've found the stock browser to be the quickest in regards to overall use. So, I'd rather stick with stock if possible.
I had a few issues with the stock browser as well, what you mentioned as well as some others. I use Chrome on my PC so mobile Chrome was the obvious choice. There is nothing you can do to fix it. Except to stop using it.

Bummer. I don't remember this issue with my past phones (g2, g1). Just seems like it's not "releasing" cached data perhaps? I don't know, guess I'll concede and give another a browser a try. Hope text re-flow has improved in the non-stock browsers.

Boat browser...
If u want to stick with stock... then stick with lag.
Boat is faster anyways

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I have no problems with Dolphin at all and that's all I use. ...I need more info to help. .. What rom? Did you restore data? Etc

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.
You should try it !
