ICS stock browser

This is what my quick controls look like on the ICS stock browser (only one ring), does anybody knows how to close open tabs ?!?

The easiest thing to do is to check each tab on the quick control.
BTW
Create new tab:
Option 1 on Quick Control Tab is for creating new browser tabs.
Delete/Select Tab:
Click the 2nd option on the Quick Control tab. 1 on indicates that only 1 tab is active.
Sliding the finger up and down on the screen will allow you to see all the current open tabs and clicking on X will close it.

Thanks...I figured it out, I'm used to the quick controls from the stock browser on my tablet, I'm using ICS browser+ on my phone instead now, the quick controls are customizable and more practical in general...

You should use chrome browser since you have ICS now

Get Dolphin, it's so much better. I love it.

I recommend Chrome as well, especially if you're on a tablet as well since you can sync up all the tabs throughout your devices

Yes!! I seen this option on my Epic and could never figure out what it did, recently re-enabled it on my SGSIII and finally figured out how to use it... pure awesomeness once I finally figured out where everything was. I love the extra vertical room it adds by hiding the address bar.

You need to sideload Adobe flash.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Root, install AdFree, side load flash, use the Firefox browser.
Of course you don't need to root, but AdFree is so much better than the browsers ad blocks

If someone knows of a better way than this, please post. I watch a lot of sports on my phone/tablet and this is the only non-headache way I've found. Firefox not hiding the web address bar when you're on a site and the stream freezing if you choose full screen mode (so I just zoom in until it fills the screen) are both super annoying. Also you have to "tap to load flash" every time you load the page, but other than that it is pretty solid.
It sounds like a pain in the ass but once you get used to what you need to do, it's not so bad. The s-pen is really nice for closing the ads

all u really need is to sideload Flash, just google for the apk. I literally watched the entire eagles game at work with no stutter on max brightness with the stock browser...worked beautifully. boss was very jealous

I know that. But unless I'm doing something wrong, when using Firefox, you need to "tap to activate flash" each time you open Firefox

Go into setting and set your plugin from "on demand" to "enable".

It is a good keyboard so far but swipe typing doesn't seem to work in Google search boxes or in the url box.

Yeah I'm finding the swiping doesn't work in calendar boxes either.

Ehhh.. I've been using Keymonk Free for months now. Has two finger swype'ing which makes texting even faster, and pretty good prediction as well.
Free version though doesn't allow you to add to dictionary :\

Can't wait to try this! I can't get the language file to download though. :banghead:

I believe they did this on purpose which I really like. A lot of things you enter in those type of boxes are normally not normal, ex: dotson817
I remember swype when I'd try to type a username too fast it'd think I was swyping and it would get it wrong. Just a thought

To all the people pointing out that flow doesn't work in Google Search (or similar areas) and claim it's okay, let me remind you that with the 4.2 keyboard, swiping is available everywhere, even where predictions aren't. Just because some searches are not standard (e.g. dotson817), the vast majority of my searches are with English words.
Either the API for swiping anywhere is locked, or SwiftKey dropped the ball. Seeing as to how long this beta took to drop, I'm guessing the latter.

Yeah I'm thinking that is the way it is going to stay unless they add an update to 'flow' anywhere but I don't see that happening soon

When I tried it swiping seemed to work, but the line trail didn't show up. Does anyone else have this problem?

I like your Apple style thinking, it's not broke it's a feature
Not working in form fields is one thing. But it doesn't work in comment boxes too, so replying to online forums is a pain.

gesture typing works for me in comment boxes, i just tried on a facebook comment box withing dolphin browser.

My problem with this beta is that it appears to be draining a lot of battery. It doesn't help that Flow is full of bugs (you simply cannot write the words "its" or "it's").

I find the stock 4.2 keyboard to be much more accurate and efficient.

How to search a particular word in browser?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there's any way to search for particular word/phrase in browser? I want to find a certain word in a long web page but I've to scroll up and down to find that word..
So is there any app to do that or any particular key combination? In windows we can simply press ctrl+f and a find box appears..so I was thinking if it is possible..Not only in browser..in any app?

It is possible. I suppose depends of your browser. I've using Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Quick ICS Browser for a long time and in all of them is the same:
Menu > Search in page

I think that if the app doesn't have this feature you can't.

Xda app isn't a browser. So I cant figure how it can search inside.
What about use some other ways like DuckDuckGo !Bangs?
