Dolphin browser is crashing a lot on my G Pad running Mahdi KitKat ROM. It does it mostly when I'm searching or zooming in. I love this app but can't deal with the constant crashing. I'm also open to suggestions for other browsers. I need syncing with chrome on my PC and flash if possible.

Have you tried installing Chrome from the play store? It will of course sync and should work just fine. Otherwise post the Mahdi thread about your issue with dolphin.

I reckon flash player is to blame. I know you have no interest in this, but uninstall the flash player and see if dolphin isn't stable. Flash is at this point patched up with frameworks in order to work. Prolly not the most stable thing in the world.
Dolphin with flash is what I use when I absolutely need flash and it may take a few reloads or crashes. If I can I just use Chrome..

You can send Dolphin a crash report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Stopped unexpectedly.
I often send it in this way. You guys can try it to let Dolphin know your issue.

I've sent many reports to them. They just updated the app but it still crashes a lot. It's a shame because Dolphin runs much faster and has support for flash. But until then, I'll have to stick with Chrome.
Curious, I got the same problem with Opera, it crashed all the time either in stock ROM or CM11. Chrome is OK..

I can't seem to get Chrome to stick as my default browser. I'll set a link as Always, but then have to do it every time I open it. Keep giving me the option of Chrome, Internet (stock), and Maxthon (which I also have installed for Flash and some other things).
Any trick to getting Chrome to stick as default. In the past I've managed to get other browsers to stick, but no luck with Chrome.
It might be a bug in the rom you are using. If it bothers you that much; make a nandroid, flash a stock rom, and check if the problem persists. If it doesn't try reflashing the rom you are currently using. If the problem shows up again, you know it's a bug in the rom.

Any easier route would be to freeze all the browsers with apps like Titanium Backup and with doing this it won't prompt you to select a browser anymore.

When I had ICS on my HTC Vivd, I had a bad experience with Firefox, then I tried Dolphin browser.
Has anyone used either yet ? Hows that working out for you?

I use Firefox specifically for a couple of sites that don't allow me to save usernames and passwords. There is an add-on that you can install that forces it to remember passwords, even if the site is configured not to. My experience has been really good with Firefox, but I only use it for limited reasons. I use Chrome as my daily driver for normal web surfing.
I used to love Dolphin, but constant force-closes made me switch back to Chrome. Good browser, although right now I'm having a strange issue where occasionally Chrome completely locks up when on the XDA website after loading a page-- I have to clear it from memory and reopen it for it to work.
I downloaded Firefox. Refreshed RAM is same as before.
With that the option to Sync all my bookmarks from my Macbook, I removed Chrome and the Stock browser and am using FF with Adblock exclusively.
Not only that it was a ram hog. It makes the device raises temperature than normal. My fave is Boat.

I also have a huge problem with this on new Nexus 7. Dolphin Browser was locking up also until i unchecked flash in settings. I installed firefox just to get around this issue. I am new Android user and cant believe that the Chrome browser, built by Google canyt navigate this site.
I actually went back to my Ipad to see and had no problems navigating XDA. Then again Ipad does not have flash.

I have installed dolphin browser both way Side loaded, and From Google Play but it always crashes. I have uninstalled, install again and no luck. I have tried with flash installed and without flash, but nothing seems to help. Do anybody has an answer?. I'm currently running Cm, but I like dolphin better.
I had the same problem with Dolphin crashing. I switched to Chrome and it's working well.

One of the threads in general, I think the list of apps that can be sideloaded or something, has a link to a dolphin browser with flash that works on my AFTV without crashing.

Firefox?
I was running into the same issue.
What worked for me was disabling Dolphin JetPack.
Anyone notice that Dolphin, Boat Browser for Tablet and Maxthon browsers seem to force close a lot since this latest update? I notice it most at IMDB.com when browsing pretty hard through it. Just poof, and back to desktop.

I have applied the latest OTA (yesterday) and use Boat Browser. I've not had one FC or issue as you describe and just went to imdb.com without a problem.

Maybe I need a full reset.....I was in there (IMDB) last night and added a few TV shows to a list and removed some and searched for others. At about 5 minutes with Dolphin the screen locked up and then it went to Home. Tried the others I mentioned and they fell short too doing the same things....
But the stock browser is doing fine....go figure.

Did a full reset yesterday and after a few minor issues things seem like they're back to normal. I use Apex Launcher and maybe I didn't get it setup right, but I was getting warnings about widgets not loading properly. I emptied all screens of all widgets and still would see the warning at start and end of the Intellecast app. So I switched the default loader back to Touchwiz. No errors. Rebooted and then restarted Apex and reset it as default launcher. Now, no problems.
Yippie!
For a while now, I am unable to save images in Chrome (no matter if regular, developer or beta. Even NoChromo displays the same behaviour). I cannot share images either, for example via Viber, but it works via FB Messenger. I rooted the phone 2 days ago and reinstalled everything, but the problem still persists! Strangely enough, some images do appear in the gallery after a while, some don't, but if I try to open it immediately in gallery, I get an exclamation mark logo, and google photos says "could not load image".
I am aware of at least two more guys with the same problem, so I'd like to know if there is more of us and if there is a fix (except downrgading to a really old chrome or an alternative browser, eg. LG stock browser does not have this issue).
Hi, you are not alone I faced this issue lg g4 recently following updates to the google chrome browser. It used to work fine but after the updates I have the exact same issue as you with the images. The way I fixed this is I go to google play store and go to the chrome browser. Click uninstall and it will remove all the updates. Following this I have also turned off auto updates for this app. Now I am using it fine with the stock version.
I didn't know it could be fixed. I'd prefer to have the latest Chrome browser though. I just download the image and then share through Quickpic or any other gallery app.

well, I did say "except downrgading to a really old chrome". I tried that already, but really, that's a no go for me.

does quickpic see the image immediately after downloading it?

Yep instantly. Tested it four times and it works for all websites.
If you don't currently have quickpic, then download the version 4.5.2 apk as their latest has bloat and junk since they were bought by a company.
thx!
Still, too bad that there is no proper fix for newer Chrome. Now, when I want to just share some goofy pic in Viber, I have to download it, open QuickPic, share photo and then delete it... It's a drag!
Guys! Same for me. I download the file, but it seems that there is a problem when file is saved. I tap the notification and stock gallery/album app give me a black screen with an "!" mark. If i choose to download the file again, Chrome says the file already exist... random bug.
Doesn't bother me that much since I don't save a lot of pics from the Internet, but it's still a pain.
I have the same issue but with stock file manager i can see and share them...
