I've been forced to use two different browsers as Firefox seems to be the only browser that lets me access my schools site. Besides this use for firefox, I dont really like the browser. I love the dolphin browser but I can't access my schools site, even when I change the browser to desktop, or even any of the predefined modes. Any suggestions on a custom mode that would allow me to get onto my schools site? It would be nice to be able to use one browser for everything.... Thanks in advance.

You could try Miren or Opera (mini or full, whichever works for you).

Tried both and neither allow access to the site I need. I was hoping to try a custom mode in dolphin HD but I'm not really sure how to change that correctly, aside from the preloaded modes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello there,
I'm willing to buy an asus transformer tablet and I need to know if there is any possibility to run internet explorer on it, cause I need it for my job and all other browsers aren't fully compatible with the online system of my company. Thanks in advance
I don't believe it will ever be possible at all to run Internet Explorer on Android, specifically because it's Internet Explorer. I don't think you'll ever see it happen, sorry.
I would like more chrome google for android, but I do not think it is possible
Unlikely, Internet Explorer as a Microsoft product is only made for Windows Vista+ (XP is no longer supported as of IE9) and Windows Phone/Zune at this point. The Mac version was last supported up to IE 5.2.3. You could always use a browser that lets you change the user agent. My college forces use to use IE to log into their site, however, I managed to get in with Midori (as a linux user).
As for the Transformer, I have one of those my self and love it. I just want Dolphin Tab to improve (note: Dolphin DOES support the ability to change your user agent.
You could also use splashtop HD to connect to a home computer running windows and use IE from there, I did that to run Windows Developer Preview.
chrome lite is good

In my experience when I have ran into this Firefox has been accepted as an alternative to IE, but I know it wouldn't work every time.

You will never get internet explorer on Android. Don't hold out for it.
You definitely can try using a browser that allows you to change the user agent, but be sure to test it on your current computer before buying android. Many IE-only websites won't display correctly (or at all) in other browsers, regardless of what the user agent is set to. Its unfortunately common.

I need to use a particular website for work which requires IE browser and the closest I've got is with Firefox and adding an add on called Phony. Although the formatting isn't the best and i can't view some menu items due to this. So really is a pain and not much good in the scheme of things.
Why in hell would you want internet explorer????!! Q

Long story short.
IE on android? No, not going to happen.
IE on windows on android, maybe.

Probably the multitude of people that have to use it because colleges and corporations require it.

Well, in that case they need to switch, I mean IE is only used to download other browsers

I haven't tried this, but it should work
1.Download Dolphin Browser
2. go to Menu> More> Settings> Dolphin settings> User Agent>
3.click custom
4.enter
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0
or another useragent string(you can get them here: useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/)
What do you want IE?
Not available for android.
Chrome is better
Why are so many people asking WHY he wants it? Can you not read the OP? It clearly states other browsers don't work for his job.
OP, sorry to say, this probably will not come to fruition. =(
I really hate those websites that don't work on other browsers, except the worst browser I ever saw.

Yeah, it's easy for us to say that, but try convincing IT managers from nearly every medium/large corporation in America to switch to browsers made by smaller firms that can't offer the huge support base that MS has. Firefox would be the most viable alternative, but mozilla's already turned away large groups of potential users with their update methodology.

Anybody know a way to stop the default browser from redirecting to market whether I type it in or tap a link?
Tap http://www.speedtest.net to see what I mean. Running stock RAZR.
Thanks

Use a browser that will allow you to change your user-agent and change your user agent to desktop.
(Not sure if the stock one does that)
I grabbed Opera Mobile and set it for desktop and it worked as expected. But would rather see the mobile sites sometimes. I guess google knows better than me what I want.

It's not Google, it's speedtest that's shutting you out of their site. Reminds me of forums that give you the annoying Tapatalk nag every time you bring up a page.
Some browsers have the "Request desktop site" option. This will take you to the actual page (most ICS browsers have it).
Hi
I was once able to get the stock browser to act as a normal desktop browser, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how I did it. Browser now constantly configured pages for mobile viewing.
Can someone please help me figure out how to make the stock browser format pages as a desktop browser?
Thank you!

Does anyone know is there any method to be able to watch Amazon Prime videos on my Sprint Note 3 SM-N900P rooted with NC5.
Thanks for your help.
Just go to the desktop amazon site via chrome and watch a video.
Edit: never mind, looks like this doesn't work anymore.
I watch prime and hulu.
find patched flashplayer for kitkat (its posted on xda multiple times) and use browser that lets you change useragent to desktop... i use dolphin.
In your prime video settings make sure flash is selected and not silverlight and it will work.

Also the new dolphin doesn't have an option to select browser as desktop. And I didn't find any silverlight option.

Im not googling everything 4 u but here http://www.google.com/search?q=xda+dev+kitkat+flashplayer
Its the first link.
I update dolphin every time, newest version does have user agent settings.
As for flash/silverlight setting in amazon look harder. Same for desktop mode in dolphin, look harder its there.

Thanks, I just found out the only thing I have to change was the desktop mode and it works. I found that to change to desktop mode as default you need to open a Web page and the it gives you the option. Then a message will appear about silverlight or flash when you try to watch a movie for first time, I just select flash and that's it watch and it looks ok. Not bad.
Thanks a lot idone.
