Using the default browser, I have pop-ups enabled so I can see the pictures people attach to posts on XDA.
When I click on the attached thumb or whatever, it pops up, but when I try to to center the picture to view it, it disappears. It has done this to me using a couple of different browsers.
Does this happen to anyone else? Am I missing a simple setting somewhere?
Does you have this G3 browser pop up issue with Dolphin Browser HD also?

Mainly on the stock browser. Just tried Dolphin. Seems to work correctly.
Any ideas? Guess I may have to switch to Dolphin.

Only gripe I have so far is with the Web browsing suprisngly enough.
Web browsing
I don't seem to be able to turn off mobile view for web pages.
On the HTC devices there was on simple tick box within the internet settings.
Is there another way round this?

download dolphin mini.. stock browser blows
I use one called boat browser tried opera mini but it doesn't support flash so pointless, why I don't like the stock browser it doesn't have text re-flow option like the others have, so it keeps text readable without having to pan left and right to see it all.

Hi guys, I had a quick question regarding using multiple browsers in your android os. Everytime I use another browser, it keeps asking me to pick a browser when I click on a link.
For example, If I am using skyfire and i click a link, it will ask me again if I want to use skyfire or stock browser for the link.... im like.. im in skyfire I'd like skyfire to complete the link.
I know I can solve this issue by setting the default program for internet but if I do set the default to skyfire, it won't let me use the android browser as a link pressed in android default broswer will open up skyfire for any link I press in the stock browser....
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Solution: Either keep pressing the select browser to open link every time or use the default browser and switch to using only 1 browser.
Opera is a really good choice btw and better than both stock and skyfire.
There really aren't too many other "solutions" for this. Find a browser you really like and use it for your default.

Hey thanks for the help. I guess I'll just have to stick to manually clicking my choices each time because I do want both. Sometimes, other browsers just have problems and I need to use the stock android browser.
I also tried all of them, dolphin(s), opera, miui, etc... I came out liking skyfire best other than the stupid social network bar at top.
one quick thought, it only makes sense that this needs to change. it's kinda like using chrome on my desktop and it asking me what browser to use everytime I click a link. Is this a fix on the os side or the app side??
I use 2 browser which is the stock and opera, I don't have this problem.
try this, if you're on the stock browser select the stock browser as default, then when you're on Skyfire when it ask you again choose Skyfire. I think that's what I did.

There is also a free app in the market that lets you input a URL and choose which browser to use for that specific URL.

It's OS-side and I don't see it being changed simply because most people use a single browser and never have this issue.
Here is yet another "possible" fix though: Set your default Android browser as default. Get an icon to skyfire on your homescreen. Every time you click a link from within another app (XDA, Email, Messaging, etc), it will open it with the default browser. Every time you wish to use Skyfire, start it up from its icon.
You should never be asked which browser you wish to use again.
Every single day , my stock web browser loses the sites I had open. For example, I'll have three Windows open, three different websites. I don't use my phone for a while and come back, they are all gone ! Even if I leave it on Yahoo.com it will reset to default which is Google.com, basically it won't just keep the sites I leave it on, it returns to home and its very annoying. Is there anything that can be done??

I had Dolphin on my G2X but it did the same thing, constantly lost the tabs I had open, shut closed on its own losing any pages, etc.. I'll try it again, but that's why I stuck with the stock browser so far.

That's weird cause I've never had a problem with Dolphin.
And I exit back to hitting back or hitting "menu" and then exit.
When I open Dolphin back up all my tabs are still there.
Maybe the internet doesn't like you?

I guess not. Downloaded Dolphin and I just don't like it, so I'll have to deal with the stock browser or find another one. Not sure why it would take those about pages away to save cache?

I upgraded to ICS yesterday and everything seems great. The only issue I have is that I can't find out how to put the stock browser into desktop mode. I found a menu option for "request desktop
site" but it seems to need to be checked everytime you visit the site. Any ideas how to get this turned on permanently?
There may be a way to do it in debug mode but luckily someone has made a version of the stock browser with just such an option easily available!

Had the same problem just ended up getting ics + browser from the market. Fixed my problem.
wish i had an answer...
probably why everyone uses other browsers like dolphin, or opera...
Ya its weird. The option to do it was in honeycomb but they seem to have forgotten to include it in ICS
You have to type in "about:debug" then go into settings, then into developer or something. Should be in there, under like UA String

I don't seem to have this problem with bookmarked sites. Once I set the drop menu option, add to bookmarks, it will work every time.
For non bookmarked sites it seems to be iffy. Most of the time it continues to work, but sometimes not.
ICS Stock Browser desktop option has something seriously wrong. I cant get pages to load after enabling it. I have to go into system settings and clear cache to make it load pages again. Anyone else having this problem?

I am using both dolphin hd and default browser. The ics default one lacking of user agent tweak bothers me a little.

I think that this is one of the biggest problems with the stock ICS browser, and its one that has made it unusable for me. I'm moving to Dolphin HD until Google release some kind of fix for this, preferably returning to the old way of setting the user string.
Download ICS browser in the market, the stock is total embarrassment to ICS.
When I try to view the Jet2 Airline Website.(see URL below) using the Ocean browser it appears "greyed-out" and is unresponsive.
It's OK using the Dolphin browser, so it must be something wrong with the Ocean browser.
Can someone else check the Website using the Ocean browser to confirm the problem.
Thanks

When the screen goes "greyed-out" as it does on the Jet2 site it usually means it is waiting for a keyboard response.
I just tried it using Chrome and it showed a pop-up question window which when answered returned the site to normal.
So I wonder if Ocean is blocking the pop-up?
I fixed this problem by switching to the desktop agent.
