Does such a browser exist?
Looking for true text reflow, not that double tap zoom... But where you zoom in manually and it keeps reflowing text to show up on the screen.
-Looking for flash support in the browser with 4.4.x
-Looking for pie controls like the AOSP browser has in the labs section.
Any advice?
Not sure, but have you checked out Firefox? It supports add-ons and it has text reflow.

Are you sure it has the same pie feature as aosp browser? Also known as quick controls?
We'll I use pie from gravitybox settings from expose framework module but I don't think dolphin it self has does capabilities.

Give Boat Browser for Tablet a try. It has text re-flow (text sizing in the gear icon) and full screen with minimal controls. No Flash, though, you'll need something else for Flash player.
Habit Browser has all that....and way more customization in the history of customization...and faaaast!

Is there a way to stop the notification bar from getting covered by the full screen browser?
This annoys me as well. Any fixes other than using an alternate browser?

Nothing I'm aware of, short of using an alternate browser. You can always just press "Menu" whenever you feel like checking the Notifications bar though. Its a simple enough workaround.
i just tried overriding the default browser with the default android browser and i failed. this annoys me also.
If youre familiar with about:debug, run that and see if there is an option to change that. I only used it to change the ua string

I used root explorer and replaced the HTC browser with the android stock one. Works okay for me, but breaks long-pressing. Can still select text via the menu.

after you did this did you have to fix permissions?
I can't seem to make this work, unless I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back again.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work after pinch zooming?

What about it?
double tap to the screen.
That zooms out, and reflows, but doesn't reflow to the size you make the text with pinch zoom.

Haven't had mine come through yet so I've not been able to test this but in the Techradar review they say:
"One gripe we do have is the text reflow, as it doesn't do it automatically – you have to double tap the screen slowly to activate it when pinching to zoom in."
Hope that helps

Confirmed, this does NOT work. Some oversight.
Like others have said, this does not reflow, it just zooms out to fit the text onto the screen...
this is a huge deal.
what about if you just load a regular page, zoomed out completely. then double tap somewhere, it should zoom in. does it reflow after a double tap in that fashion?
99% of my usage is just double tap on a place, and browser reflows teh text. i dont care about pinch to zoom reflow necessarily. any luck with double tap method?
Double tao appears to reflow correctly, but unfortunately that's not much good for many scenarios where I would like larger text
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, as above. The Nexus S had this issue too but got round it with the + and - in the lower right corner. Text would be off the edge after pinch to zoom but tapping either the + or the - reflow it while maintaining the text size previously set. No such luck here though.
Guys my SGS1 had been lost for almost a month, but as far as I remember the stock browser would not reflow on "pinch to zoom", would only reflow on "double-tap to zoom", and only on certain pages that had clear resizeable DIV/TABLEs (html language)?
Is there any way to enable text reflow on the browser, it's annoying to keep on navigating side to side.
If there isn't is there a mod in the works?

On the Android stock ICS browser, you get text reflow by pinching to zoom and then double tapping on the zoomed text. I don't have S3, but would expect that works with the S3 browser since it works with the stock android ICS browser on the S2.
Also, there is a browser in the market based on the stock browser, I think it is called ICS+ or something, that does text reflow automatically without double tapping. Also Opera Mobile does text reflow.
Yes, just use Opera, its fast and the text reflow works great! I have no idea why Chrome and Firefox doesn't do reflow, I would think its one of the more obvious feature to have considering that scrolling from side to side is mega irritating

This is an issue on all Samsung (non nexus) devices I have ever had. It doesn't matter if it's a phone or tablet. I was hoping different for the sg3 I guess not. I have had the Moment, tab 7, 7plus, 8.9, 10.1, and Epic 4g touch

Somewhat on topic, if you get a MMS picture on the stock Samsung Text Message app you cannot pinch to zoom in on the picture, you have to save it first. Is there any setting to zoom in on a pic message??

I don't understand why you can't download it first? On my HOX you click it in the message bubble and it opens a new screen with the picture at about 70% size and you can zoom in.

Me too. It's highly annoying since I want to use this browser as the quick controls are great.
Guys.... I've used all Galaxy phones and this feature IS NOT available on any. You get text reflow at the default zoom level only. The hardware supports it because it's available on CM9, but not on Samsung based ROMS.
Those who say it works don't understand the question, it only works on one of the Opera browsers on the S3.

He's saying that to actually enlarge a picture from MMS you have to SAVE it to your gallery first. Samsung really doesn't know how to make an SMS program. They had it fixed with ICS on the GS2 and then they ruined it again with the GS3.
Just use GoSMS Pro, it's a lot better anyway.
well, I'm on jb official relase and text reflow works for me on stock browser, in advanced settings tick auto-fit and in accesibility settings set force enable zoom and minimum font to 12 pt
I'm looking for a browser where I can swipe in from the left/right to go back/forward. That's the only gestures that I want. Like in webos with the gestures patch. Is there one in android like this? I tried the browsers with gestures like dolphin but I don't want to press a button to go to a gestures screen then make my gesture. I want to just swipe left/right.
default browser gestures work ok but i lose the url/tabs bar if i enable the gesture control. I'd use this if I could keep the bar and have the gestures but I havent found a way to have both :S
I'll try any suggestions to test them out if they work for you

perfect thanks, hm too bad i cant flip the back/forward though, i like back on left side, but best so far that i've used so i'll take it

You could try the Maxthon Browser. The tablet version works fine on the HP. Get it here:
http://www.maxthon.com/maxthon-mobile-tablets/
thx for the maxthon suggestion, it has the back/forward how i want it but i'll stick with xscope for time being, i've grown fond of it
plus maxthon seems to render pages a bit slower, plus i was having problems with it recognizing my swipes when i zoomed into the page. it would move the page more often than going back/forward. xscope seems to do this part a bit better, plus i've grown accustomed to the direction of the gestures now

Might be a stupid question...I come from a long line of moto droids. On all of them, if I double tap in the browser, not only would it zoom, but it would also realign the now larger text to fit the screen. Is there a way to do that on the Samsungs? I hate coming in a news article then have to swipe side to side to read all the words

Are you running stock browser on 4.3 or a custom rom? There's dozens of browsers to try though, I'm sure one will meet your needs.
In running beans 22 rom. Stock browser. Over the years I've fiddled with nearly every browser it there and I've always found the stock the most comfortable. Maybe that's because the zoom always worked the way I wanted it to.

It's under settings>advanced in the stock browser. Check the box for auto fit pages
I last used the stock browser when I first bought the phone. Been using Dolphin browser ever since. When I double tap, it zooms in enough to fit the block of text that you double tapped on. It is useful in that it depends on where you tap it
