I've confirmed this with one other person, it seems that when logged in and attempting to view the forum list the page will reload. This seems it back to the top at the default view making reading anything impossible. Had anyone encountered this or know a solution? Other than viewing the forums logged out.
That only happens to me when I use Dolphin with jetpack on.
I've been having the same issue with the page reloading constantly and I'm just using chrome.
try using the app?

Anybody know a way to stop the default browser from redirecting to market whether I type it in or tap a link?
Tap http://www.speedtest.net to see what I mean. Running stock RAZR.
Thanks

Use a browser that will allow you to change your user-agent and change your user agent to desktop.
(Not sure if the stock one does that)
I grabbed Opera Mobile and set it for desktop and it worked as expected. But would rather see the mobile sites sometimes. I guess google knows better than me what I want.

It's not Google, it's speedtest that's shutting you out of their site. Reminds me of forums that give you the annoying Tapatalk nag every time you bring up a page.
Some browsers have the "Request desktop site" option. This will take you to the actual page (most ICS browsers have it).
Done a search but nothing of relevance came up in these forums.
Just got my phone today and so far just using the stock browser which seems ok but undoubtedly there are better browsers out there, i always used X-Scope on my SGSII but im a bit tired of that now and looking for something else,i hear Chrome for ICS is supposed to be very good, so what browser is everyone using then?
Chrome is not that great on s3 yet, it lags and has touch delays..stock browser is undoubtedly the best browser I have tried . It gets the work done. Only thing I don't like is how you manage tabs . Try dolphin browser, should run as stock but with some enchanced features

Well the built in browser works really nice, but i personally like
firefox and that you can use addons like adblock and so that i value
a lot personally.
Though I don't currently have the S3 yet, I'll probably use Boat Browser. Easy to use and has been the best I have used for my tastes. It'll be the fist I install when I get my S3.
Dunno where you heard that Chrome 'lags', that's definately not the case. Alright, you don't have Flash. I always thought of it as a huge drawback but I haven't missed it a single time and I've been using Chrome for Android since the very beginning.
It has great tab management, staggering performance and a brilliant look. One of the best things about it is the integration with your desktop Chrome (and all other versions of Chrome you might be using.) Open tabs are synced in real time so let's just say you want to open a link from your phone on your desktop. no more mailing it around, now you can just click on it on your desktop. The bookmark sync is great too. And it's Chrome.

Use Chrome. Also install Flashify. In the rare instance you launch a site that needs flash, just click share, flashify, then select an alternative browser. The page you were browsing is then opened for you.

I didn't hear it, I experienced it. Visit www.aftonbladet.se with both stock browser and chrome. While stock handles the website like any other..chrome gets real messy. The touch response like 1-2 seconds after you started to pan. It's just me?

I just froze the s3 stock browser using titanium backup and copied the browser from my s2 cm9 rom into /system/apps. It works brilliantly! Need root though
So far, the stock browser is doing it for me

Does a bit at first, but once you pan through the entire Page and it loads up all the content its fine.

ICS Browser+ for me. Persistent user agent switch, customisable quick controls, negative colour mode, everything I could possibly need in a mobile browser.

Chrome still sucks for me even after you let it fully load pages . Zoom in and out pinching and panning it just freeze-lags on me all the time . You guys force gpu acceleration?

Stock browser works well here.
Before I used Dolphin, but there's a bug or something. When double tapping to zoom in on an area on the page it always zooms in to the left of the page (instead of the area you double tap)
Do more people experience this bug?
Dolphin Mini - best interface, not a ton of features
Dolphin HD - alright interface, just works
Opera Mobile - most like a PC, best comparability with websites that give trouble, has hardware acceleration, super smooth
Stock - smoothest, least features, and has problems downloading certain types of files, or downloading at all from hosting websites
So I don't have any intention of Rooting my phone and I took the OTA update today that gave me Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
I can't remember if on Sense 4.0 in the App Association menu if YouTube was in there. It is in Sense 4.1 and gives 2 options for YouTube Links. Use the Browser or use the YouTube App.
The Problem I'm having is I have it set to use the YouTube App however it will only use the browser. I have sent a YouTube link to my phone via Text and Gmail and both times I click on it, it will open the browser. Also in the Facebook App YouTube links will open the browser and not the app. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I just checked and mine is set to you tube and videos open directly in you tube. I haven't been able to verify Facebook yet. Sorry, I'm not much of a help and I hope you can figure it out. Maybe try rebooting by holding the power button down for 10 sec. since the phone has gone through a lot of changes.

I sent myself a link to my Gmail and it opened the app as normal. Facebook opens the browser. And while in the browser clicking on links still uses the browser. I had to install chrome and make it the default so this would be resolved.

Facebook opens in the browser for me too, but this doesn't bother me enough to switch to chrome. But thank you for the info.

I know what you mean. I can't believe HTC wouldnt make an app association work with its own browser.

The map association seems to have the same issue. I have the map association set to open maps, but when I click on directions from the browser it opens up the website and not the app.
This is more of a headache than the YouTube association. Anyone else having the same issue, or have a solution I can try?

I can confirm that this an issue with the stock browser and map links. Seems that the stock browser overrides the app associations. I have installed Chrome and everything now opens in the appropriate app. If you install chrome you must make it the default browser

Is there android web browser without tab support? Just one web page at a time, so I don't have to close tabs from previous sessions all the time.
... can't you just not open any tabs, and there won't be multiple tabs?
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
I do not open them. For example: I'm in facebook app and I click on link, it opens in browser. I return to facebook and click on another link, it opens in new tab with first link opened in first tab. I tried default browser, dolphin, firefox...
Ah. I see. I doubt there are any browsers without extra windows/tabs, but I work around this problem by closing the window and tapping back to go back into facebook or whatever. This way, I'm only left with my homepage and the newly opened window.
I know its not a perfect solution, but it seems like a stock feature as to not disrupt any previously opened windows in case you were doing something on them.
Btw, have you tried out opera mini? I have this feeling it doesn't add extra tabs... but its not such a great browser
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
I tried Opera Mini (its great when there is no hsdpa) and it opens new tabs also
I'd be interested in this for my father - anyone found a solution in the two years since OP?
I didn't found anything... ?

What browser do you use?
I've tried opening posts on the browser and then back to Tapatalk to open another thread on the browser and the old tab was not there...
And also of your browser does support tabs, can't you close the tab BEFORE going back to Facebook?

I use Chrome and it is not big problem for me. But, there is lot of people buying cheap Android phones and they always need help with them and every one of them have like hundred tabs open in browser. So I'm surprised that Android even let that happen... And I think that people don't know how to close tab in Chrome, they even don't know what that number means.

I would agree on low end devices, it would be an unnecessary amount of resources assigned to chrome...
But I'd think that chrome would me killed by Android if not used...

Firefox Focus seems to do the trick. However it is not for every day use, because it is made for privacy. Maybe you might try to install usual Firefox and then search for an extension that blocks "_blank" attribute of the page. This attribute is responsible for opening new tabs.
Hi, I'd like if someone can explain to me why android apps never open Web links within the app instead of always redirecting you to the browser like iOS and I never noticed this before but I'm currently using an iPhone along side my Galaxy S3 since I'm in the Caribbean and I just think the iOS way makes more sense especially for apps like cracked and Facebook.... Thoughts?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Because the android apps in question do not have a web browser within them, at least not in the sense of a traditional browser. I can't attest to how iOS works as I have too many qualms with apple to use their products, but I would assume many of their apps also launch a browser for web content, and if they don't its due to integration of a browser within the app.

Hey sorry I'm just noticing the reply and all I'm looking for is a discussion of some sort but a bit of an update I just used the CNN app on my Galaxy and it as in opened links pertaining to the app within itself such as unlocking the live TV and I just think more android apps should do it and also you might be familiar with flip board and how not handles links that's what I mean
