Why is it that when I'm on the Web my tabs don't close. If push the back button it exits out but tabs stay open. Is there a fix for that.

What I do is next to the address box at the top on the right side, is a little rectangle with a number in it. Click to open the Window manager it will show all the open sites just click on the ones you want to close then click on the rectangle to get back to the browser. You might also try to click on bookmarks the button in the upper right hand corner then history, then bottom left menu button to erase you browsing history. I checked through browser settings can't find anything that allows the browser to hold tabs.

But shouldn't they close and the browser should add you if you want to exit.

Yes I agree, when I search on Google and wander around several sites. Then I just click the back button, it backs me out of each web page and if I keep going it will take me back to Google then to my home page. It doesn't close the app, I have to do that with Active apps button. Is this how yours is running ?

Running the same. Just annoying that it doesn't close the tabs. Before it would close all tabs. Wish it was like that.

same here. thought i was the only one.
Usually when typing in search words in Google using the stock browser you are able to tap one of the suggestions that come up and it should take you browse the search results. However, I just realized that it doesn't work. I start typing in the search bar at google.com and Google starts to populate a list of suggestions but when I tap on one it either does nothing or searches only on what I have typed to the point when I tap the suggestion.
Has anyone else seen this? It's very odd. I hope it's not one of these apple lawsuit things.
Thanks

You have to click the arrow to the right of the results that you wish to search. Dont know why this was changed.

Scrolling or zooming seems to activate a refresh.
Very annoying...

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

Anyone having an issue with Nova or Samsung Launcher in automatically adding new apps to the home screen or saving a Chrome bookmark to the home page? I can't get these two things to show up. Thank you.

Changes were made in Oreo that cause issues to place shortcuts on home screens. For example, Facebook messenger cannot create conversation shortcuts anymore but WhatsApp can.

Wow, are there any workarounds?

None that I've found. Not even using nova launcher. The strange thing is that Samsung back up did indeed restore home screen shortcuts, but if I wanna create a new one for the same app I can't
Using Nova Prime, I have no problem adding a bookmarked site to the home screen. Open the site, tap on the 3 button menu, and then on Add to Home screen. I tried it on three different sites, and it worked on all of them.

Is this from chrome? I have no luck with the latest version of Nova. Chrome says it's adding to homescreen yet nothings shows up.
