"Keep" https github webpages when offline - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Nexus7 with stock JB system and I often use it to review files with code hosted on https github pages. The issue I ran into with all browsers I've tried is that when the page is loaded, it remains in browser tab for sometime but eventually (maybe in a few hours), the browser "helpfully" tries to reload the page and if I'm online, it shows the error. I couldn't find a way to get the page to show again.
I'm not exactly sure if this behaviour is somehow related to github.com, or maybe to pages being https.
The only workaround I found is to use 'save pages' feature in Opera Mini, but it's awkward and takes 3 taps to save a page and deleting old saved pages is awkward, too, and I don't think there's a way to update the page to a newer version.
I've also tried some 'save pages for later' apps but they don't work with https pages.
All I really want is a very simple behaviour: load the page, keep showing it in offline mode and allow me to reload in online mode. Even better, it would be great if the browser could be set to load the page from cache when clicking on a link in offline mode.
Any help / hints appreciated!

Google search beyond first page bug?

Odd bug this: On stock T-Mobile G2, when I do a google search (using preset google mobile bookmark) I cannot access the second page of results. I also cannot do a new search by entering new text in the search box at either the top or the bottom- I have to go back to the main search page in the bookmarks I have tried this using both the 'next' and several of the numbered page links at the bottom of the page, on wi-fi and 3g, killed the browser with taskiller and restarted, restarted the phone, searched several different terms- all the same. Works fine when switched from 'mobile' to 'classic'.
i had that for a while, but for whatever reason i did a hard reset ( i have downloaded tons of apps and not all of them are compatible with the hero) and since then i have not had it again.
I guess it was one of the apps i had that did it, or just a glitch, but after the reset all is well.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the problem seems to be with google.co.uk, it works fine on google.com
Yeah sometimes I can't even get to the first page of results on google.co.uk. It seems that sometimes, randomly, all of the links just plain stop working. Sometimes I can't press any of the links (images, web, local, page numbers or the search button), sometimes they work.

GTab not loading pages full screen on stock broswer

My Tab doesnt load certain pages full screen on stock broswer. mainly when a page is mobile view and when i search something on google. any suggestions i did do the uav string and set it to desktop but i still keep getting mobile versions of web pages
I don't think the string thing is permanent unless you're rooted. I have the same thing happening with my Tab since I restored the default browsers settings (doh), I'm sure that before me doing that, it was showing pages as a desktop.
I wonder if doing a factory reset would put it back to how it was before, i.e for me, showing desktop version of pages.
actually everytime i check in the debug/ uastring setting its still set to desktop. All of this started ever since that samsung update because before that it was just fine

[Q] Stop auto refresh Chrome

hi all
I have problem make me very sad from Chrome
if I use chrome and I go another app when I back to chrome all page refreash again
I turn off I go to " settings - bandwidth management - preload webpapgs and I select never
its same every time u out and back to chrome auto refresh
anyone have idea?
Also interested in an answer... Sounds like its a multiplatform issue. Would like to be able to read the page I left open without having it refresh as I select that tab
I believe this is due to javascript stuff. Many websites are set to refresh due to that. You can try disabling it, but might cause issues on other websites.

How to set start page on mobile browser

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

EasyList making blank pages

Hello,
I am using LG ZERO and have disabled most apps and Google apps. I use ApkPure to install apps and have a problem with internet browser that supports custom adblock filters.
I have tried Via and Lighting browser and it seems that each time I update and use EasyList, soon as the page loads or I cancel it, it becomes blank. This also happens with Fanboy's Annoyance filter and some other but most of them are working fine. I wouldn't know the issue and couldn't find anything online. Please help.
Thank you for your time
Tried factory reset and only installing Via, it still shows blank page after finished or skipped loading when EasyList filter is updated.
