Anyone know how to import bookmarks from Chrome/Firefox/IE ??? I saw on PreCentral an app called Gmarks but it is no longer in the app manager. Any help would be great. I don't want to have to bookmakr 200+ sites manually.
Looking for the same thing. I don't want to type up everything again. There must be a way.
You could run Chromium or Firefox through UbuntuChroot maybe?

Well, when Android is ported you will be able to sync with Chrome and Firefox. Its just a matter of time. (not to mention Firefox is preparing a Tablet version for android)

I read that FireFox 4 was released, but I didn't find it in the market, does anyone know if it will be there for our Wildfire?

you can download ıt here fırefox 4 beta 5
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
The version available in the market doesn't seem to run on Wildfire. Check the link below for info on compatibility. The wildfire seems to be listed under "devices that have ARMv6 processors and are not compatible with official Firefox releases. They might be able to run the experimental ARMv6 nightly builds". I haven't tried it myself, let me know how you get on.

Completely broken layout, unusable. At least, that's what it was like a few months ago...
I tried it, the Firefox won't open. If Opera can work perfectly on Wildfire, why not Firefox? If firefox wants to get famous and achieve success, they should target all the devices and make things work.

FYI, I tried nightly of ARM6.
So I'm sure a lot of you have heard that Facebook introduced its new video chat feature today through a partnership with Skype.
I was wondering if anyone has been able to download the exe file onto their tablet. It is not automatically downloading for me and there is nowhere for me to click start download, but on my laptop it worked fine.
the OS has no idea what an exe is
Is there any way to get this to work?

Unlikely... At announcement they said it was just for web browsers (at least for the moment anyway)
Is anyone having any luck running the Chrome browser beta?
I'm on Joker's CM9 (0.5.0.1) and have previously been on version 3 and 4 builds of CM9 but I get nothing but crashes with Chrome. It loads, and I can usually navigate to a page, but as soon as I click a link or button, it either freezes and exits.
I saw there was a Chrome and CM9-specific thread that suggested making a change to the ro.build.id parameter, but I tried that and there was really no change.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603725)
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Works for me, except tabs it crashes when try to use tabs..but I'm on 0.5.0

Crashes doing pretty much anything for me.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
It just seemed weird to me that I was having so little success with Chrome. After all, Android is Google's OS and I've never had problems with Google sites or apps running on Windows platforms. Likewise, I have very few problems running the Dolphin HD browser on CM9, though I do have it set up for forced portrait mode as it will lock up if it goes to landscape (I understand this to be a known CM9 issue).
Anyway, it's good to know that it's not user error on my part with Chrome. Thanks.
works in my phone only thing when i try to use tabs it crashes.
has anyone looked into why chrome force closes when we try to open up tabs? I would think this would be something worth fixing, seeing as chrome is easily the best browser on android.

Its driver related... won't be a fix until we get ICS/JB drivers

He is right. Opera is in the same boat. I use ics browser+ on 4.0 and above.
What browsers are you guys using. I've tried to give the stock browser a go but it sucks. I have a zagg screen protector so maybe thats it. Just seems hard to press links.

The stock browser does not suck at all. I think it's faster/smoother than all other browsers.
You could give Google Chrome a try. It's a bit slow/choppy for me though.
There are a bunch of browsers in the Play Store to try too (Dolphin, etc.). Give them all a try and see what you prefer.
I've used dolohin browser before and like it. I just wanted to give the stick browser a far shot one more time.
I use Opera mini. It's very fast and I love it!

Stock Browser is awesome in itself.
But I use Chrome for the link between phone and computer. Luckily dont experience this clunkiness you are referring to.
I'm using Chrome Beta. I'd like to use something else but the syncing of all tabs/history between mobile and desktop has me hooked. Otherwise I really like Dolphin and another one called Xscope

I just tried out the stock browser and it's fast as hell. I'm going to use it from now on.

Stock browser with flash installed. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Stock browser does not sync with chrome bookmarks...an absolute requirement for me. I have never been able to get any of the bookmark sync across platform things work anywhere near as well as Google's built in solution, and I am not going to f%$$ around doing manual syncing. So I use the AOSP browser. Fast and light.

Find Chrome to Phone in the App Store, it's never not worked for me (as it is, in fact, built by Google).
edit: This doesn't support bookmarks anymore apparently... weaksauce. I always click the button to send to my phone what I need to read later, anyway.
I think it may be the thickness of my zagg screen protector. After using both browersers back to back the stock browser loads pages faster than dolphin but it just seems hard to click or tap anything. Sometimes I have to tap 3 times.
How do you install flash on the stock browser?
Chrome

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

Force stop your Chrome in setting, and you can find a clear data button in that page.

Tanks, but I was hoping I could keep on using chrome as I really like it apart from this problem.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

Actually chrome has some pinch in and out problem and downloading problem that's why I was suggesting you to try dolphin browser

Come on guys, he asked a problem about Chrome, if he wanted to just switch to another browser he would.
Clearly something is wrong.
Are you signed in with your Google account or you're using local ?

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.
