Off-Topic: What Desktop Browser do you use to Log On to XDA Forums? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Site problem with IE9?

I am using IE9 (x86) on Windows 7 x64. And I am having a lot of trouble while browsing XDA on IE9.
The tab become so unstable and it can go not responding whenever i click "Thanks" or "Quote" . The tab crash most time when i clicked " quick reply" on the last post of the page and IE has to recover it.
I don't know if it is just me, or something else?
Anyone can confirm this?
Change browser. Use Chrome or Firefox.
If you want to keep IE, let me check it.
The browser lags to rool the page. IE 9 was a huge improvment over IE 8, but it still sucks.

Browser DeskTop Default?

Does anyone know how to make the browser default to Desktop? There's nothing I want to see in mobile view.
Type "about:debug" without the quotes in the address bar of the browser and hit go. A message about java will show up on the top. Click it and ignore any errors. Now hit menu and settings. there will be a new option called debug. Click it and go to uastring change it to desktop. Restart the browser and your done. You might need to reboot not sure
Thanks.. That worked great until I rebooted. Youtube still went to the mobile site. I went back to the java menu and the agent was still checked desktop. Works fine as long as the java script console is on.. Might have to use another browser..

I know on htc devices using about:debug was only good for that browsing session. You'd have to redo it anytime you close then reopen browser. You could try to set your homepage to about:debug to make it a little easier, but the browser would have to be modded to force it to keep those settingd. Its on my list of things I want to do but will likely be quite a while before I get to it. Search the forum for browser UAstring mod. You may find something that can help. I know some htc roms had it, not sure about samsung though.

Use a different browser. Maybe dolphin or xscope or firefox.
I guess I'll use Opera, it works just fine and the desktop agent stays. I liked the stock browser and got used to it. Oh well, no problem.

same problem here ... i suppose since the latest chrome v 23 update ... but some threads are working, some not ...
I have an other problem with Chrome and XDA (Windows).
Whenever I close Chrome and restart it, I'm logged out at XDA, although I check "Remember Me".
This is pretty annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea what I can do, I have this problem only on XDA.

No problems here, using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m
I face the issues described here when I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, same problem on two different PC's). The forum will reload the page over and over and over again until I deny to run scripts using NoSript for xda-developers.com. Using Google Chrome (23.0.1271.64m) there is not a problem.
Edit: Now Chrome starts to reload the forum pages over and over again, too.
The others are talking about desktop, not mobile. There is no App for those.

Same issue with Firefox and No Script on windows. I'd be interested in what is causing it if you find out. Likewise, I am enabling and disabling the MANY ad and tracker scripts running on this site.
A fresh profile of Chrome sorted this.No idea how.Same add-ons.

Whenever I hit the back key on my mouse on XDA in Chrome I go back two pages instead of one. Very frustrating. Does not seem to happen in Firefox.
My default browser is Firefox and I have none of the mentioned problems. On Chrome however the pages reload over and over again, just like described here.
Same problem here... Attachment loaded but UI messed up... And I couldn't add smilies... -_-
Happen on mozilla firefox too...
I have issues while using. Xda in browsers too,
But only in my home,
I cant even use the 2013 theme it gets garbled up
In my gf's place everythings fine,
I think it's your ISP, DNS, or browser extentions that is causing the problem

Chrome Browser - Always Desktop Site?

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.

Keep having to sign in

Every time I come to XDA I have to sign in. This is the only page it happens to. (except the secure pages like banks and credit cards and such) But facebook, android forums and other chat sites work fine. How can I stop this. And yes, the box is checked to keep me signed in.
make sure ur browser has no setting to autoclear cookies (i dun know it has something to do wid cookies or not )
also try a different xda theme before u log in (i use xda 2013 1024)
also try a different browser
if they dun work.. jst dun blame me i tried

I think it has to do something with cookies. I set my browser (Firefox) to delete cookies after each session. If I close the browser and get to the site, I have to login again.
If I quit the firefox process using the task manager on Linux, I am signed in.

I use Chrome, I don't remember making changes, but that might have happened over the last upgrade. So I made a few changes myself, and I will see if that helps. But thanks for the idea's.
Am using chrome here too and it also happens with me
Will try the suggestions though

Funny, I got here fine. But if I use my bookmark, I will have to logon again. I think it has to do with Chrome.

ha same here
i bookmarked it as well
Same on aosp browser using bookmark.
What's weird is if I open a link in a new window once I'm on xda, that page will be signed in, or after a few pages.
I created new bookmarks but it's the same.
Well, the problem has seem to go away. At least for the last couple days.
Not for me, problem is still here, tried deleting cookies etc.
Problem here for me on chrome too

Hello. Newbie here. Sometimes I'm signed in when I load the forum page, but many times I'm not. It seems to me that it occurs when some time passes, but I'm not quite sure yet.
I have the same problem. It would reguide me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php?nocache=1 after I logged in.
Same problem here. On chrome too.
Have XDA in my bookmarks bar and every time I click it, I will be logged out although I checked remember me on my previous login. Only happens with XDA, not with any other site. However, I dont have to always log back in again, if I flick through the website, on most threads it will show me as logged in but sometimes on some pages it will show me as logged out.
Strange
I am having this same exact problem. I can replicate it on multiple computers. Very annoying!
