I've been using numerous web browsers and every time I go to open my web, they open a new tab. I'm finding a dozen open tabs. Its becoming an issue since it's draining my battery. Thisi
Weird... if it were a computer I'd say you have malware.
Its really annoying. Even the stock browser is opening new windows every time I click it. Then it usually crashes.
Any ideas as to why this would randomly start like this?

Ive been trying out numerous web browsers and am finding that every time I go back to the home screen to do whatever and then decide to open up my browser again, its opening up a new tab every time. I press the home button to go back to my desktop if that helps any. Im finding I have about 10 tabs open. It never used to do this, and want to know how to get it to stop. Every browser I have tried recently does this. Im not rooted and just running the regular rom.
Im also noticing when I use the stock browser it always refreshes every time I open it.

Click to expand...

Go to browser settings and there is an option called "open in background" it needs to be UNCHECKED
Open browser-hit menu key-scroll down to settings-scroll down to "open in background"
It is unchecked. But im still getting new tabs popping up every time I open a browser.
All of the browsers I use are opening up a new tab every time I go to use them. Plus, the regular stock browser keeps refreshing every time i open it. this all started this morning.
any ideas?

Hi all, I'm having a problem with browsing using ICS+ Browser and the TF201 Dock. Whenever I use certain keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t/ctrl+w/etc.), the browser starts opening every link in a new tab. For example on reddit or xda, clicking next page will open that in the background. I have tried changing agent mode, toggling open in background, restarting browser app, clearing cache. These seem to fix the problem temporarily until I use the shortcuts again.
I am using Thumb keyboard, but changing that to ASUS or android doesn't seem to help either. If I only use shift+space or space, it doesn't seem to have the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Has anyone else been experiencing issues with Chrome on their Tab? I am having some problems with it just not loading pages after the first few pages. The stock browser does the same thing but not for about an hour of browsing.

Questions go in the Q&A section
Me too
Mine freezes after a while, it doesn't do anything. I have to go to the homescreen, clear chrome in recent apps and enter again to chrome. Is annoying
I have very little data on my plan and don't use my phone a lot for internet so wondered if it's possible to set my START page to Google, for example.
Every thread I find about Chrome, those settings aren't there any more.
Can't find any for Firefox.
Can't find any for the default browser.
I just want the browser to start up EVERY SINGLE TIME with the blank Google search page rather than reloading the last tab I was in.
Thanks!!!!
Hello,
if you are using Chrome or Firefox, you need to close the tab, if you don't want to use he browser. If you will start it then, only the blank Google search will open.
No, if you are using Chrome or Firefox, it reopens the tab you last had open every time you reopen the browser.
I want to close the browser no matter what tab I had open and have it open only the page I want. It's easy to do on a desktop, I cannot find out how to do it on mobile. It reopens the last tab every single time I reopen the browser. I do not want this.
Why do you don't just close the tab?
You mean press home every time I exit the browser? Because I don't want to have to bother to do this. I just want to set a default start page. It can be done on the Blackberry no problem but Android doesn't seem to be able to do it any more.
No, not home. Just close all tabs by pressing X.
But maybe we should wait for another person, who knows this better.
what not in the settings
how is taht possipole due
no i think you didnt search well
in mine stock browser its in settings>>>start home page and there you can edit the url of the start page
I'm curious to know which mobile browser you'd recommend using? I've been using Dolphin, which has been fine (great even) but after a recent update it has begun crashing repeatedly. I've been doing my research and I've been learning that if I turn off the Ad Blocking setting then it won't crash as often if at all (but then you're left open to the screen entirety ads among other things). I've also been learning that Dolphin isn't so great with privacy and data mining (correct?). I tried uninstalling Dolphin 12.0.2 and going with an older version from the XDA site but alas there's been little to no improvement.
So I've been looking at other browsers. I know to stay away from CM, the Cheetah Mobile browser, but what else is out there? I'm thinking about the stock Chrome browser that all Android devices come with but really don't care for it which is why I found Dolphin in the first place. I like the Samsung browser which I've seen in the Play Store and gave a test drive to. I also like Opera...
Also of interest. Apparently Dolphin is able to access my Google account and rebuild itself after a fresh install, whether I've uninstalled it and then installed it again or switched devices. This has been very helpful and allowed me to just pick up where I left off, but I've also become invested in the Dolphin ecosystem and it seems to be the only browser that'll access this. I'd like to just pull my favorites from one browser to another. Chrome won't do this, when I sign in I get an amalgamation of what's on the PC version of Chrome for both the computers I use at work and at home... I really don't want the two to commingle as there's stuff on both that I don't want on my mobile, and needless to say if I save a favorite on my mobile I don't want it showing up at work for unknowledgable eyes to possibly see.
So any help would be appreciated...
I use chrome. Never had issues.
