Stock browser - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When ever I restart the browser all the history has gone i can have 10 pages open then restart, just the 1 page with Google is that normal

Why would ever page stay open if you exit the browser? Its not chrome (which keeps them open) . It did the same thing to me, but I never use stock browser's other than to see how they compare.

My suggestion is mercury and boat browser, both are better than all others in my opinion.

Why do you need this?
I think Opera will work for you. Not sure why you would need that function, though. There's no flash support, by the way.
Boat browser.

Dolphin hd & Facebook

Is it just me, but my Dolphin hd browser keeps crashing when I go to the facebook website. Not totally crashing but it stops responding and I'm forced to close it. Anyone else having this issue?

Yea same here I just removed dolphin and dolphin mini
If chrome allowed to sync system bookmarks I'd use it plus I read it is a battery hog
I have no issues with dolphin hd and Facebook. But I use the app more.

Google Chrome. The feature where it magnifies small hard to press links alone is a god send. The only problem is... no adobe flash support. Second to that is ICS browser+. Its quick menu is awesome and every web browser should have something like it.

Same for me. I recently loved Dolphin until they completely removed flash support in their browser and refuse to bring it back. So i just use boat and love watching my flash videos on it
But when i want a simple quick browser, i use Opera Mobile with the single column view enabled. Things like facebook email and quick google searches is what i use opera for.
Opera
I like the start screen and tabs better than firefox, dolphin, or chrome.
Another fan of opera MINI....don't care for opera mobile.

Agreed, i do the same. Opera is very friendly on reading articles and such. I find boat to be the fastest because i tested out browsers when doing the Microsoft challenges lol

No option for YouTube app

For some reason now when i click on a YouTube link on say XDA,or on a news feed like taptu,I no longer get offered the option to open it in the YouTube app.It only offers me option of web browsers
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Try to uninstall and reinstall youtube app.
maybe you set as default to visualize it on the browser... you should clear the defaults in the browser apps
Did both of the above and still the same gives me any web browser I have installed(dolphin chrome etc) as an option to open the link but no YouTube app option.This is the same in several apps and even in web browsers

Opera browser beta

Opera has released a beta of their new WebKit browser. I am very very impressed with it's performance. Some of the benchmarks I ran were very impressive. Besides a few bugs it works very well and is my daily browser now. Go check it out in the play store.

Performance is good...but I don't like the GUI. Don't hide my back/forward buttons, Opera.
The pie controls on the stock browser are the best...full screen browsing when not needed and out of the way, there when you want them with minimal effort.
Yeah the pie controls are pretty nice.

I don't think flash works with this opera.

I agree Opera browser beta is a nice browser.
I've been using Opera Mobile as my main browser for a few years now, so I have plenty of faith in the company when it comes to mobile browsers.
can anyone share the apk? I can't download from the play store
Kind of ugly but was ok.
I like firefox better out of all browers on android.

I don't use mobile users agent, I always view the desktop website, so as far as desktop views go, opera is best because it reflows the text to fit in the screen when you Zoom. other browsers are weak with this.
Firefox is good, cause it supports native flash, but lately habit browser kicks firefoxes ass. But again neither of these have the reflow technology like opera.

Yeah I use Firefox occasionally as well. Its pretty nice. Sometimes scrolling isn't as smooth. It will take a while but I'm very curious to see what Mozilla does with servo.
