When I browse from the main page of most websites down into an article I have to hit the back button 3 times fast just to get back out to the main site. I assume this is due to the ads on the header/footer refreshing every few seconds.
Does everyone have this problem? Its getting really hard to live with.
Tested on Task650 and overcome roms, same result. Example sites: engadget.com, theverge.com

are you using the "android" or "desktop" UAString? Just a thought but it could be that there a multiple of redirect pages from the main page to the article via "mobile browser detected, redirecting to m.site.com" or something?
Normally i use the desktop string, but now I'm using the ipad string with the same result. I should also note that the same exact pages work fine on my galaxy nexus.

Disable the ad blocker, that should fix your problems. (it's built into most ROMs)

You can flash a standard host file which fixes it. Check the second post in tasks rom thread.
Disabling the ad blocker fixed the issue. Thanks guys.

How do I get dedicated apps (YouTube, Play Store) to open links and not the browser/chrome?
The only way I have found it to work is to not have a browser installed. On my tablet links open up the apps but with this phone the browser takes over.
The settings don't mean anything and no prompt even comes up when clicking a link asking what app I want to use to open said link, it just goes to the default browser automatically.
It like this on three ICS roms I've used.

Go to settings>apps>all go to the app called internet and make sure that you tap "Clear Defaults" then go into the browser and click a YouTube link and see if that works.
I am having the same problem. The recommendation.above does not work for me. I am using CleanRom Pro. The problem appears to be caused by the "App Association" settings where links are directed to the internet app and other possible apps (for certain links like YouTube or GooglePlay) are not listed. As far as I can tell, there is not a manual way to add apps to the various actions. Can anyone recommend a different ICS ROM that doesn't use this faulty "App Association" setting?
Its like that with Nils ROM as well.
I am surprised nobody else has this problem.

I know this thread is old but I'm still having the same issue. I'm running the stock ROM for my HTC Vivid and I also have the same issue. I don't think the problem is related to the ROM. Anyone made any headway with this issue?

Hi guys,
Anyone encounter browser load only half page instead the whole web page? I tried others browser but still unable to load it full. Any solution or maybe any setting i need to configure?
Previously when i'm using Galaxy S2, i encounter same problem on stock ROM but after i rooted and switch to custom ROM it solve the issue.
But on Galaxy S3 i tried to use OMEGA custom ROM but the problem is still there, unsolve. Can anyone help me on this as i need my work website to be fully loaded in order to use my S3 for work purposes. Thanks...
People actually use stock browser and not Chrome beta? Blimey whoknew!

Using stock browser makes sense because it supports flash.
Chrome beta doesn't support flash and probably never will.

I love when people just reply with something that is not related with OP problem at all.
Anyway do you have the problem with both wifi and 3G?
If you only have this problem on wifi maybe the problem is not your phone / web browser but your router / internet connection. I never heard of this issue before and I watched a lot of video on youtube of the GS3 browser and it was loading pages perfectly (I don't have the phone yet).

I think the fact that Chrome still manages to stutter when scrolling on a quad core phone explains why people are yet to switch.
Ive been out of the game a while, but i actually quite like the stock browser. But in answer to the OP's question i have had no issues. Try Menu > Settings > Advanced > reset to defaults.
I have had some browser issues too, turned out my 5ghz router was the problem. Switched my router to 2.4ghz mode and everything was good again!

Hey all,
I am having a couple odd issues with my Note 2 when running Chrome. Well, the stock interwebs app too actually.
When I go to nbcnews.com I get the mobile site, which is fine, but I can't click on anything. When I try to view a story it just highlights the link in blue but doesn't actually go anywhere. I have to long press and say open in new tab.
When I go to wowinsider.com (yes i play wow, so sue me! =]) and view an article it doesn't load the comments section. After loading the article the progress bar pauses at about 80% like it's thinking about the loading the comments but then it jumps to completed with no comments loading.
Neither of these issues were present on my GNex. I rooted the Note 2 and installed Beans 8 so soon after getting it I don't known if it was doing this before flashing. Anyone have similar issues? Is it the Note 2? Beans ROM?
Thanks

So I upgraded to Beans 9 and the issues above still exist. Anyone have any ideas? Im sure theres other sites not functioning properly but these are the two I have found that I use daily.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Ad-blocking software or a pop up blocker installed? Thats the only thing I can guess would keep only select links from working.
Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure ad blocking is an option when installing Beans. I'll be damned if I can find it now though...

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.

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.

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.

Every link you click on from Tapatalk seems to be passed through link2.tapatalk.com.
If you go directly to the website, it shows the following:
If you’ve landed on this page, you may be wondering exactly what it’s all about.

This is happening even in the paid version of the Tapatalk.

That's fine. Looks lazy but not shady
With this, Aren't they capable of capturing recording all links we click on in Tapatalk?
Very shady I think. I'm sure I've never seen a warning telling us (the users) they do that. (Perhaps it's in the small print?)
Is it possible to remove this from the app?
Not only is it shady, but it is also very annoying that it prevents any other apps besides web browsers from handling the intent sent when clicking a link. For instance when I click on a YouTube link, YouTube doesn't show up in the list of apps that can handle it because the URL is to the tapatalk website.
It is very disappointing that it breaks the functionality of intents...

We should write to tapatalk to complain to them

..and now you should think about the word "privacy" and what it means to you. :silly:
This has bothered me since I installed Tapatalk a few weeks ago so i decided to write an app to fix it today. I've uploaded it to GitHub and will try to get an apk on the Play Store some time soon.
https://github.com/stuartcallison/Tapatalk-URL-Fixer
This app will receive the Intents created by clicking a link in Tapatalk, extract the intended URL, and send out a new Intent. This prevents your URLs from being sent to tapatalk.com, and also restores the functionality of letting different apps handle intents for certain URLs. For example, when you click on a YouTube or Wikipedia link in tapatalk with this URL fixer installed, you will now be able to choose the right app to handle the Intent instead of being forced to use a browser.
To use this
make sure that you clear defaults for whichever app you previously selected to handle the intents from Tapatalk links (probably your browser)
Click a link in Tapatalk, and choose "Tapatalk URL Fixer" to always handle this type of Intent
Now whenever you click on a link in tapatalk you will be presented with the real set of applications that can handle that URL. URLs will no longer be redirected through tapatalk.com
has the apk been uploaded? or do we have to compile ourselves?
Btw, I'm still surprised, I'm the first one to rise this issue on this forum.....
This TapaTalk has been out how many years ago?
Does this say something about how little people care about their privacy being snooped by unknown entities or what?

Well on the one hand it seems pretty shady that they are collecting all URLs clicked within tapatalk and selling them to a third party... But on the other hand you are using their closed source app for your forum browsing already. I just assumed that everything you do in the tapatalk app is known to them automatically. I haven't done much digging but I wouldn't be surprised if more than just external URLs are being sent to their servers.
Fixing the functionality of intent filtering with tapatalk links was my primary motivation for making this app, but added privacy is always nice.

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Sorry for the delay, I was away from the computer for a few days. Give this a try and let me know how it works for you. If everything seems alright I will make a new thread.
Install TapatalkURLFixer.apk
If you have a default application set to handle the Intents from clicking links in Tapatalk posts, clear it ( probably your browser )
Click a link in a tapatalk post and select Tapatalk URL Fixer from the list of options
You should then be presented with another list of options to handle the real URL ( not through tapatalk.com )
If you select Tapatalk URL Fixer to be the default handler of these intents then you shouldn't even notice it after the first time you select it.
Noticed this recently as well and glad to have stumbled on this thread at the perfect time that the fix was released. Thanks.
Works perfectly, thanks!
