Hi,
i wanted to use the popup browser but i don't know how to set it. I can see when i'm on XDA app and i click on a youtube link, there is the choice with Popupbrowser, stock browser and youtube app. I would like to do this with my favorite internet pages.
Is it possible and how?
Thanks
Ok i got it. You have to install another browser and then when you open your favorite page, it will propose to choose between all the browser.

I know dolphin browser HD and skyfire have options to change the user agent in the settings but some sites that I have tried force the mobile version anyways. With that said, is there any method of fully spoofing the user agent to desktop? Any help is greatly appreciated.
"Open your browser, enter "about:debug" (without quotes )into the address bar, then hit the "Go" button on your keyboard—don't tap the search/URL suggestion that comes up. You'll notice that the browser now does, well, nothing. But hit your Menu key, choose the "More" option, then select Settings. Scroll down some, and you'll see a new collection of advanced options there, including a "UAString" option. Click that, then choose between Android, desktop, or iPhone user strings to change what browser web sites think you're visiting with. "
SELECT "DESKTOP"
Try this and see if it works for you.

OP is using Dolphin and Skyfire browsers, which don't need about:debug for UA spoofing.
I could be wrong but I remember reading somewhere that some sites are able to use your installed Flash player to determine that you're not using a desktop browser. I think there was a modified Flash player that worked around that to allow you to view sites like Hulu, but I don't know where one could download it. Maybe search the forums for Hulu Flash player?
Good luck!
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.

Hi,
I have a bothering problem; when I open a link from inbox, it opens the embedded browser and not the browser Chrome, as I would like.
I must say that I like to customize my rom and, probably, I deleted some files accidentally.
Please, do you know which is the problem?

Thank you, very much.

If you still have Chrome installed, go to Settings>Apps then click the gear icon on top right, then choose 'Default Apps'. Choose whichever browser you want as the default browser or if you want to choose everytime, clear the choice and don't choose any browser on this screen.
Thank you tnsmani.
Unfortunately that is not the solution ...

Ok, here is another clue...

... under "link opening", Chrome Dev don't have support to default link.
