One browser? Any android browser? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone uses one browser have an issue with seeing some menu options? Everything is always blank for me. Is there anyway to fix this myself or is it the developers issue to fix?
Also anyone recommend any browsers? I used to use dolphin which was the best ever but lately its only been getting worse. All I need is a browser that kind of has the "speed dial" options of dolphin (a start up screen with links to bookmarked pages).

Have you tried opera mobile?

Or if you're using an Android version above Gingerbread, you can use Chrome for Android

Speed dial plus speed is UC Browser (English version), but I doubt you won't like it. As for me I use UC when I download things (multithread acceleration) but use Jellybean's default browser for else.

Flashplayer doesn't seem to work on uc so I need to find something else lol.

I'm using opera on 4.2.2. Maybe you have a DPI conflict with the play store. Flash works sometimes on opera, but is getting progressively jankier as time goes by.

Nope, that's a history issue for UC 7.x, they need a plugin. UC 8 natively support as I've read somewhere.

Ya I've changed the dpi ofmy phone. I guess ill just stick with one browser for now its only problem is the menu options don't show but other than that it works fine.

Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser

It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

No movement on this topic I guess. This feature drives me nuts as well but I don't want to go to a different rom to resolve it.

Well you can also use a different browser - plenty of choices out there...

This actually occurs on the stock browser as well as other third party browsers...

Yep happy to say that the latest 4.1.2 update removed this annoying behavior.
Indeed. I guess they realized it was more of a pain.

Which browser is best?

Just curious to see what people are using for a browser?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Dolphin BETA. Hands down the best.
Chrome is my favorite. Syncs with all my desktop Chrome bookmarks.

I recently started using the Firefox browser. It supports flash, ad block add on, and you can sync it with your computer like you can in chrome.

Yup +1 for FireFox...

I've been loving Chrome lately.
I've tried and installed most, my vote goes to dolphin beta for regular use, and Firefox beta for flash or online streaming.

Dolphin Beta does Flash too. Check my post history (too lazy to find link right now)...
Use chrome on my desktop, and it syncs my history and all. So predictive text and search history show up. Love it.

The stock browser is the fastest to me and it supports flash.
I have tried those popular ones. Chrome is a kind of my favorite with all power features but it's a bit slow. Dolphin is very good one in all around in any devices but still feel a little heavy. I love AOSP stock browser. You can find a flashable zip in somewhere this forum. I like it maybe because I like CM a lot, too. Controlling tabs is easiest I think.
Dolphin without a doubt

Stock browser. It consistently gets the lowest sunspider scores from the ones I've tried and the difference in loading speed is noticeable in real world situations as well, not just in the numbers.

I haven't looked too far into it to be honest... From what little bit I have, it seems like it's just way too limited in what apps it works in. Being able to scroll by waving my hand over the screen is cool and all, but I'd rather just put my fingers another inch closer and actually touch the screen as long as I can sync my bookmarks, browsing history, etc in Chrome. To me, it seems to be too trivial of a feature to really go looking to see if some tweak or hack exists to make it work in more places than just the stock browser...
