I'm working on a ICS stock browser enhancement for ICS phones, but now ICS is also available on the tablet I like to make some adjustments for it too.
The browser can be downloaded here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus
Features implemented yet that are relevant for the tablet also:
+ setting of the User Agent string is implemented in tablet mode. (When setting the ua string to "desktop" notice that one always can request a mobile version of a page by unchecking the option request desktop site)
+ home button on the action bar
+ gestures: swipe left and right to do certain user definable actions
I will work heavily on the browser in the near future. Any suggestions, requests (concerning the tablet mode) etc are highly appreciated.
Nice app, liking it so far
Requests for the future:
a dedicated home button would be awesome
a speed dial type home page option (like opera)

Like the speed dial home page idea. Btw do you mean a dedicated home button in the quick controls?
I second the home button, I think he meant a button near the back and reload buttons up top
yea i mean by the back controls and stuff at the top

Its already possible at the moment:
"possibility to set the User Agent string . "
Taken from the market text. I use this on my DHD on ICS beta and its pretty handy.
*feature request*
maybe having a dedicated settings page could be handy.
Something like what dolphin does, could be pretty useful.
ok heres another request:
An option to specify what folder downloads go to.

Good one! The home button is implemented in the latest version. I also added gesture support. Very comfortable on a tablet.

how do you pay for the "pro" version?
also, are we still going to get text reflow on zoom, double tap and pinch? because if i have Auto-fit Pages (in advanced options) selected, it is autofit for zoom already even if i haven't zoomed in. it doesn't ever change. if it is not selected, then it is fill for the full screen view but never reflows whether i pinch or double tap. I can't find or change anything in the settings to change this. it either is formated for the zoomed in version, or formated for the zoomed out version, but not depending on zoom.
Thanks you for this app, not having an option to set all webpages to the Desktop version was really irritating. I also like the addition of the home screen button and basic gestures!
Any way to get settings that you change in the debuging menu to stick. When the browser is closed, they rest until you open the debugging menu again. I prefer to disable the "use wide viewing" setting but hate having to continue to enter "about:debug" just to get it to work everytime I open the browser.

Love this browser, i've been using it since the update. One suggestion though.
When you go to menu via quick controls, you get the very low res yellow circle indicator. It kinda bothers me and i hope you can just make the selection highlighted with the ics colors.

I have recently found that when I access the Gmail app on my TFP it crashes if I have the screen in vertical mode. It appears to function just fine most of the time in horizontal mode. Is anyone else experiencing similar wacky crashes of Gmail?

Same problem
I have the same issue. I hadn't specifically linked it to vertical orientation before, but that totally makes sense now.
I have noticed this seems to only happen when the TFP has been on for a while and it is not just Gmail, but also the stock music app... I wonder if this happens in many other apps.

On my inspire when on any web page when I zoomed on the page to be able to read it would readjust to fit the screen. Making it so I didnt have to scroll left to right. Do u guys follow me?? Is there a setting in the gs3 to make it do this or am I stuck with pages that I have to constantly navigate?? Thanks for any help.

Tried Chrome??
No, haven't tried chrome. I like the stock browser....but I'll give chrome a try and see how smooth it is compared to stock.

Yes, give it a try its uber smooth.
I'm not sure if this is what you meant by readjust, but a cool feature that HTC had was as you zoomed in, the page was fitted again in the zoomed in screen and you didn't have to scroll left right up down to read the page. I have just installed chrome and once you zoom in, it doesn't readjust!

On the browser, menu > settings > advanced > auto-fit pages. Is that what you're referring to?
Let me try it. Possibly
Edit. That feature is ticked. When you load the page, the page is fit to screen, but when you zoom in, htc browser realigns the text so that it fits the screen again. On the s3 you have to go left to right in order to read a text

I would also like this. Is HTC browser bound by framework??

Tried chrome it doesn't refit screen either. Thanks for th e responses tho....maybe someone will figure it out soon it's annoying.

I get what you mean. On my Galaxy S1, the text would reflow when I double tapped the screen after zooming, and this was a really useful function. But it doesn't seem to be present on the S3. As far as I know, this is controlled by the rom and not the app itself, so we might not get it on the stock rom.
I have tried many browsers, but i cant seem to find one that will swipe to last page or jump forward with a swipe of the finger. any suggestions?
Maxthon Browser. You just have to enable it in the browser settings. It's a pretty decent all around browser as well with flash support and add-ons.

Here is short comparison from AndroidPolice: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...sion-4-2-16-with-brand-new-ui-for-10-tablets/
I'm gonna try it as soon as I get home to my tablet.

Loaded it up last night. The good news is, the Transformer dock keyboard now works in the search field even when you're not on the home screen! Also, the video window is larger. Overall, it's a good change.
i think im going to pass on this update as long as i can. i love the dark theme of the old version, the white is too hard on the eyes.
The new version has its good points, we can now actually delete videos from play lists and it seems to be a little bit faster however everything looks huge and oversized like its been designed for kids. There is also no full screen button so you have to watch a boxed video, although it is a slightly larger video box than the previous version.
I tried it and hated it and have gone back to the old version. It just looks nicer overall and has a full screen mode.

Same here, together with the new UI layout on the Nexus 10 I am starting to worry. Who knows what the next version will bring. Only time will tell.

For me it's just like the desktop update, ugly and counterintuitive. Everything takes much more time to do and find now, I'm reverting to theold look
The fullscreen button is there, but it's bugged. If you rotate tablet you will see it (into portrait mode), and sometimes it becomes visible in landscape mode. Sometimes...
I also think that old one was better. First it was blackish which was much better, comments were on better position - now you have to have collapsed description and related videos and all buttons are ridiculously big => bigger controls, less content.
Thankfully I was able to revert to old version

Seems full screen button disappears as soon as you place your tab in the dock, take it back out and it appears again.
