Can you change the default internet search app? Id prefer maxthon browser or google chrome over the default browser when I draw a '? WORD' in the quick command.

Thanks for your help but unfortunately that isnt the change I was looking for if I go to quick command and change it to "? = Internet search" then I can write "? Dog" and the default browser googles 'dog' but if I change ? To google chrome, then ? Opens google chrome but "? Dog" just says no command found. Or opens google chrome blank.

See if the browser you use has a 'User Agent' option, if it does, change it to desktop or something. that will disable mobile veiw.

It just use almost any third party browser, they pretty much all have that option
I use skyfire, and they have the option to change right in the toolbar.
Most every non-stock browser (Firefox, Miren, Dolphin, Opera, etc.) has the option built in to set the User Agent string to desktop.
The sense browser won't work on non-sense phones.

Skyfire is a good choice for you because its default is NOT mobile view, so you would not have to change anything, just install it from market
Is there any way to make desktop view my default view, I'm tired of having to go into the settings after each site and request it. I have tried other browsers but nothing works real good on ics.

(mine is in Italian, i don't know if in english is as i wrote up)
It doesn't work for me after I type debug and go to settings there is no debug
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
worked for me, you typed "about:debug" right rsvoboda?
Although, now I'm getting the Debug menu as the last menu item in settings everytime, even without typing about:debug...
that's pretty cool, thanks matteventu
I finally got it to work, I had to take it off wifi to do it for some reason, but works great now thanks

Hear lots of.people.raving about it but.is.it just me or are the settings options limited and is it all that,examples are when you go into bookmarks and select the chrome tab no option to creat folders in there,when pinch to zoom the text doesn't resize to fit the screen .I'm use to dolphin which seems for more user friendly .Any tips on getting the best out of chrome as I think I need to get on board with it then I can link it with my pc and tablet

I also couldn't find the option to switch between desktop and mobile mode.
When you press the menu menu on the chrome top bar you have an option to "Request desktop site".

I think the rave about chrome is less about its options and more about its pure speed. I personally thing the stock android 4.0 browser has more options. Although this latest update of chrome made it kinda sluggish IMO
Lack of a true exit button is why I'll continue to use Dolphin as my browser of choice
Gestures in dolphin is fantastic, hopefully chrome will have similar support.

Btw guys, dolphin user, where the hell is the tab switcher now in version 8.0? Been trying to look for it, no dice. It was there all along on the previous versions, when swipe left, in line with the add-ons(at the bottom part).
My favourite thing about it is that you can have chrome tabs open on your desktop and bam - click the button and they will appear on your phone. It is pretty smart.
Lack of Flash can be slightly irritating

Flashify is the app.
In the latest Chrome update you can play embedded YouTube videos by clicking on them and it opens them with the Youtube app.
Not exactly a Galaxy Nexus exclusive question, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to alter the Chrome User Agent to force Desktop version of websites. Perhaps similar to what ICS Browser Plus does. Thanks!

Chrome now has an option to request the desktop version of the site you are viewing. Just hit the menu button and check the tickbox.
I noticed that, however, I was wondering if there was a way to set chrome to default load the desktop version. For some reason, mobile sites bug the hell out of me

If you hit the settings button and check the box for "Request Desktop Site", every site you browse to from that point on will load in desktop mode until you uncheck the box. This is how it works for me.

Thanks

Generally whenever you open a link it asks you which browser to use. You choose chrome then always.
If you already chose the other browser as default previously. Go to app manager in settings, find internet browser, clear defaults.
I use firefox beta myself because its the fastest one I've used so far
