Web Browser Apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any web browser aside from Opera that has tab switching on the BOTTOM? I find it much more convenient to switch tabs on the bottom, since naturally that is where my fingers are, especially on larger phones.

Boat browser is one of the browser.

Not at bottom, but, Quick ICS Browser (my choise) has also tabs access with quick controls just where you put your finger.

[Q] Problem with Dolphin HD browser

Does anyone have problems with scrolling windows in Dolphin HD?
eg when I'm in Hotmail, the window won't scroll down at all, just displays as many messages as fit on the screen, with no obvious way to scroll down. Have also tried using the gesture to scroll to end of page, but the browser doesn't seem to recognise there is more to the page.
No problems, but I'm using Mini version.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i have had it happen randomly. luckily, going to portrait gives me more page space, and zooming still works
Same problem in Google Reader.
I have problems time to time, with specific web pages.. but those pages have problems with Windows 7 & Firefox also
It's because of embedded java or flash crap inside web page.
Edit: Scroll works in those pages after you zoom it bigger, also links don't work before zoom..
There are some problems with scrollbars in Android. If you have a scrollbar into another scrollbar (for example an iframe) one of these scrollbars won't work. They said it's for make a better surfing experience

I belive that Dolphin is utilizing the base stock browser for rendering, and the scrolling problem also happens with that one. (I've seen it on Android 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 devices so far.)
A workaround that usually works is to zoom in the page a little, and it should then be scrollable...

Is there any web browser that will..

Take me back to the top of the page with just one click? i.e. On an iPhone, using Safari, you can click the top of the screen and the web page automatically re-sets at the top of the web page.
Saves a lot of back and forth scrolling.
Thanks!
Dolphin browser hd has a gesture to do just that

Yeah, its two clicks though.. One to activate gesture and then you draw an arrow. But it works!

Auto fit web pages?

On the s3 there was an option in the web browser settings to auto fit pages. What it did was when you was reading something it automatically fit it to the page so you didnt have to scroll left or right to read things. Do they have this option on the s4? I really miss it. I also miss if you pinched all the way in on the s3, it would open up all the web pages you have open and running.

[Q] Browser that open tabs in background without having to choose between options?

Hi,
I am looking for the perfect browser. That to me is a browser where you can open a new tab in the background just by long-pressing the link - without clicking anything else. And when you read a tab, you close it with one click of a button (often the back key), after which it stays on the other open tabs, before, when there are no other tabs open reverting to the first (origional) site. Typcially, you would be reading part of a newspaper, when you see the headings of an interesting article, you long-press the link. When you have opened some tabs (especially if there is a limitation on the number of tabs), you start reading them, and ends up at the frontpage again, and can start opening more tabs again.
And yes, a lot of the browsers can open a tab in the background, but I only know of Xscope that can open a tab in the background just by long-pressing a link.
Opera and Dolphin are almost there in the sense that they stay on the tabs until you have read them all, but you still have to choose what action to take when long-pressing a link, i.e. an extra click every time.
And these do no not stay on open tabs, but goes to first window when closing tab: Chrome, Opera Mini, Next, Maxton, Firefox, One, Baidu, UC Browser.
And why do I not stick to Xscope: because you can only open 6 or 8 tabs at a time, but even worse is that on LG G2, stock, 4.2.2 it does not format the view of the pages so you have to zoom, but that just makes the font too small to read. Worked find on Slimrom on Galaxy SII, so not sure what is wrong.
So, if somebody know of a browser that fits with the above, please let me (us) know.

unnerving one-finger zoom in browsers since .402 update!

Unfortunately the .402 update has brought at least one new feature which is really unnerving me.
In browsers based on Android Kitkat's own rendering engine (Chrome, Habit Browser and many others) there is now a one-finger-zoom like in Google Maps: Tap twice, then hold, then drag finger for zooming in or out.
This totally smashes the browsing experience because, when I scroll fast through webpages, again and again the browser registers double-taps&hold and zooms although I don't want it!!
I absolutely don't need this one-finger zoom crap! (May be useful on a smaller phone which is operated one-handedly, but not on a tablet!)
Anyone a clue how this behavior can be disabled??
Also,mi think that they screwed up tapping on links I chrome. Now I have to tap it two or more times if it is not zoomed. Thos problems ocurrs only in chrome

Yes, in Chrome or Chrome-derived browsers the click behavior is worse than before. I also have to click more than once sometimes, and it is simply more sluggish, while with .36 links reacted perfectly and very snappy...
