7.1.2 Pure Nexus.
I've been running this ROM for a couple of months but in the last 48 hours I've been getting a very low success rate typing URL or clicking on links in Chrome.
Often when I try to open a website I get thrown back to the launcher with no error message. Reopening chrome finds that my last page is gone, or my last search is not even in recent searches.
I'm getting the behavior from the persistent search bar, chrome browser and chrome custom tabs.
I've tried rebooting but no change, getting real hard to use the browser or Google search anything and it's not even acknowledging the crash.

Hi, it happens many a times that I am at home and push a few links to my phone for later reading in the tube (where there is no net connectivity). These links fully load in my Dolphin Browser HD, and I exit the browser without clearing the history or the cache. But when I open the Browser in the tube, the links start refreshing automatically, and since there is no connectivity, it gives me an error. So I can't access the page which technically should have been there.
Is there any way out? Any browser/addon which supports offline viewing?
I'm fairly sure there is an add on in the market for Dolphin which lets you save pages for offline viewing. I think it's called "Read It Later" or something similar.
Thanks. I already tried Read it Later, and it keeps FC. It is lame and doesn't work at all.
It crashes usually when I'm submitting a reply to a forum making me lose my whole letter. But it's not limited to just hitting the submit button.
Does anyone else have frequent browser crashes or know what might be causing it?
No. I have only had the browser crash once or twice.
Since the update, I've been having lots of browser freeze-ups in the stock and dolphin hd browsers. The browsers don't crash, they just freeze for several seconds. But yesterday my stock browser crashed about three times when I was trying to pay bills. Did you get the 3.2.1 update? If so that could be the culprit.

This happens to me all the time with Dolphin HD and the stock browser:
The error that pops up offers to force close or to wait. If I wait, the error disappears and the browser continues as if nothing had happened. It seems to happen when I try to scroll or click before the page has completely loaded - i.e., when the loading line is still displaying.
Is that the kind of crash you are experiencing?
I have been trying Opera Mobile for a couple of days, and it has not yet crashed on me (crosses fingers).
No, I don't get any kind of error message. I just get kicked out to my home screen and when I open the browser again all my tabs are gone.
Yes, I did download and install the latest update but these crashes were happening even before the update.
Try something along these lines
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications (and go under "all" tab)
Now, look for the internet browser app there and click on it. Some info on the app should pop up (size, cache, data, etc.) Now click on "clear data" and confirm. (Note, clearing data will do just that, clear ALL user data on that app) now relaunch the browser and try to recreate the crash...with any luck, this will have fixed it

Every problem I had went away when I installed Opera browser. No more crashes. No more stuttering, choppy YouTube videos. Working select text, copy, and paste. No more bumping the wrong links or accidently closing on-screen keyboard because I hit the spacebar wrong. No more opening windows because my finger accidently strayed across the screen. Everything just works now. Boy am I glad I tried Opera. If you're having any of these issues I suggest giving Opera a try.

I wish I would have listened to you sooner but I was getting no error message. Oh well. Better late than never.
I'm using a OP5T with rooted OOS.
I'm encountering a problem where tapping URLs in certain apps (Boost for Reddit, FB Messenger, Tapatalk, etc) won't open my Chrome browser, but will take me back to my launcher with the "Google Play Store has stopped"
I have quadruple-checked that Chrome is set as the default link handler, have denied Play Store from opening any URLs that arent play.google.com, cleared cache/data, rebooted etc, but the error still persists.
I've found people having a similar issue, but in their instances it was them being taken to a Play Store listing for shady software instead of the correct URL (due to malware). In my case, it seems like the phone is trying to go to PS instead of Chrome, then crashing PS when it can't complete the request.
Any ideas?
I am using CM Browser but have also tried Dolphin, Firefox, Chrome etc
Many websites like ndtv.com, economintimes.com and timesofindia.com are not opening in mobile mode, they are opening in desktop mode only. This was never an issue in my old OP3T.
Sometimes some websites suddenly open in mobile mode but most times they open in desktop mode only.
Also twitter pages not opening many times. Getting "Sorry something went wrong" error. Refreshing the page does not help. Was happening in OP3T also but refreshing would solve the issue.
I was using Blokada and have uninstalled it but the problem is not solved.
What is the reason for this and how to solve it.
I generally use a browser which allows shortcuts on it's homepage (Not the Home Screen) and I open the links from there.
I have this persistent problem of apps (mainly browsers) shutting down suddenly without apparent reason. There is no force close dialogue, just the app closes and I find myself on the home screen. Mainly affects browsers like Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi and a couple other apps.
Happening since Autumn last year when I got the device. Did factory reset. Now running Beta 12L, same story. Can't find the culprit. Happened again when I was typing this message in Vivaldi browser. Very frustrating...

I suggest you do use the Flash Tool, enable the wipe and force flash options. During setup (just to test), uncheck "Device Settings" and "Apps". If the crashing was consistent, this should resolve it.
Or you could go to settings, system, users, and create another profile with your google account, don't restore any apps or settings and test it there...
Thank you for your input! I am trying less invasive option first. I have created another user and now testing it. Will update later with the outcome.
