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.

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?

My question in this is: Are there any reason that this browser should no be used?
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.
is there a way to open the pop up browser manually?
thanks!

Not that i know.
Yeah, not that I know of either. I've got it to open Pop up browser when I click an email link by default, so you can just do that to get the window open? Not ideal, it'll still do it though.
I would love to know this as well.
I want to set Chrome as the default application, but then if I'm in an app I would want to use the Pop Up Browser. As of right now, every time I click a link and I want to use Chrome it just makes me click again and again and again.... and again.... for each "hand off" for the browser! Arg, so annoying. The things I do to keep the Pop Up Browser option out there!
I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.choosebrowser
When you want to use the popup browser, just hit the share button and select they app and you'll get a list of all your browsers, including the pop up one.
Easiest way that I've found.

I'm typing from a laptop right now, and I notice that thumbnails don't show on the threads via Chrome, but on Internet Explorer they do. Does it have something to do with Adblock or some script?

I use chrome and everything works fine... same as dolphin on my phone
Chrome. Used to use Firefox but it brought my last computer (a netbook) to a crawl. Chrome was the only browser that would run smoothly. I've been using it as my primary browser since.

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.
