Even 2 weeks with SGS2 I have troubles to get internet experience as I would like it (and as I expected it to be). Can anyone help me to answer at least one of these questions ?
1.) Are there some other browsers besides Opera Mobile that can do pinch zoom
with text reflow (and I mean exactly how it works in Opera Mobile) ? For
some reasons which go totally beyond me this feature seems to be
"uninteresting" for Android developers
2.) Are there some browsers where you can do fast switching between two
modes of opening links ? (like left click vs. mid click on desktop browsers)
mode 1: click on link = open in active window
mode 2: click on link = open on background in new tab
I need to be able to execute those opens in both modes very quickly which
means by single fast click, otherwise (e.g.: pressing link until popup is
shown) browsing feels terribly sluggish. For example good way of switching
between two modes could be by gestures ?
3.) Alternatively to second question - is there some other good way how to be
able to open fast in active window and also in background new tab (without
switching modes) ? E.g. double clicking on link = open in new tab... ?
4.) Currently I have about 11 web browsers installed and when I click on some
URLs in default browser (Miren browser as well) it will ask me
"Complete action using" with list of all installed browsers. Set default works
only for session its self at best. How do I get rid of it once and for all ?
How can I make it open in the browser from which it was clicked on ? (which
is like the only possible action which I think could ever make sense - so
again - this annoying "feature" of letting you choose which browser to use
goes totally beyond me Anyone can explain to me why someone
would like to have it like that ?)
5.) How can Samsung release default browser which seems to have major flaws
- like impossible to permanently set desktop mode without hacks ? (For a
supposedly best browser phone on the market - moreover the UA string for
desktop is actually not recognized as desktop on ALL web sites)
Checkerboards while scrolling ? No pinch zoom with text reflow (opera style)
? Most likely impossible to permanently set default action (see. 4.) with
multiple browsers installed (without hacks).
Does this mean Samsung doesn't care about the most important
application in the entire phone ? Does it mean it will stay like this also in
official future updates ?
6.) Is it possible to ask for some of this features "somewhere" with chances of
"someone" listening and implementing them ?

That's because the browser that came with the phone is still set as default. From your home screen, go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All (tab at the top) then find "Internet" on the list, click on it and in the bit that says "Launch by default" click on "Clear defaults". After that, whichever browser you select with the "complete action using" and provided you tick the set as default box underneath before clicking on it, will then stick as the default browser

Or I can do it myself, right ? Excellent. The thing is I am quite sure there are many more people that would appreciate e.g. "text reflow with pinch zoom" so I don't exactly understand why I should pay for development of overall useful feature like that - similarly if you had a web browser that doesn't have any way to input URL you could hardly say that if I want to enter URL I should pay for developing this feature. I consider pinch zoom text reflow to be essential on any mobile browser. Maybe not all people consider it essential but lot's of do. (and those who don't consider it essential would probably used it as well if it was an option in their browser)
Also - why do we have well defined actions on desktop browsers like left clicks and mid clicks (all major desktop browser have it like that) and on the other hand they don't have long press link popup menu with options "open in new tab" (no major desktop browser has it like that - because it would be slow and tedious) So if it makes sense to have those actions on desktop I don't see why it wouldn't make sense on mobile as well. Or why this should be a feature that I would need to pay for. (I don't need to pay for it on any desktop browser where it is a common standard for many years as tabbed browsing is etc.) If this feature is not viewed by majority as essential then I think either majority of users don't realize they would benefit from it or they genuinely don't need it (in which case that would be quite surprising to me - due to fact it is so common on desktops)
At last: regarding Samsung - I have already payed for the phone for which I expect the stock browser to work and I don't think that impossibility to permanently set desktop mode or checkerboards when scrolling qualifies as an OK working product. In this case I am quite sure it is not up to me to pay more money to get right what should have already worked at the moment I purchased the phone. Btw if the stock browser would work OK I wouldn't need any other browser to replace it. (nor to pay for the development process as you suggest)

Thanks - I wanted to be able to always open link in whatever browser I clicked on it - not just to set default browser. (because e.g. Miren browser also shows this pop-up menu and also uses application set in there). Something like that should be possible right ? However now (following your advice) I was at least able to set Internet as "default" and for reasons unknown to me now it will stick as default even after reboot). Yet to make all "Internet" links open in "Internet" and all "Miren" links to open in "Miren" somehow doesn't seem possible (without pop-ups). For now it's quite OK to have at least "Internet" links open by "Internet".
However here is again my favorite desktop analogy:
If on desktop PC I couldn't make open links in the same browser they were clicked on - the PC would probably very soon ended up being thrown over the window. So either I am stupid and there exists some easy and totally obvious solution how to do it on Android or otherwise the whole thing is just absurd.
Hello, does the absence of answers mean that 1.) indeed can not be enabled on any other browser besides Opera Mobile and 2.) can not be done on any Android browser ? And so on...
Or does it mean that none knows / doesn't care ?

Probably no one thinks it is that important. Since you have 11 browsers installed i think you are probably the best qualified person to tell others which browser supports what. If i make a poll, i doubt more than 1 % of the galaxy s 2 users have more than 4 browsers installed. You might get a place in Guinness Book World Records with 11

Update,
the app is nearly finished and currently in public beta. You may find it here: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=e4a9c785-efde-4794-8663-d562724e4fbd
Hey,
I'm looking for beta testers for yet another 9GAG client for Windows Phone (8+). I know there are already plenty of clients available but none of them satisfy my demanding Actually there's only one client by Rudy Huyn (Market Link) which is quite good but keeps crashing since the last few updates. In addition it's somehow slow - I don't like that. So, I came up with another one
The app is not finished yet and still under development.
What's working?
viewing posts
viewing comments
downloading images, saving theme into the media library
sharing posts
pan and zoom (up to 25x)
rendering of extra large images (greater than 4000x4000)
What's not working (yet)?
videos
gif animations (ironically I included the gif section already )
uploading images
posting comments
all items on the start screen (screenshot 2, bookmarks working since 1.0.0.2)
up/down-voting comments/images
What's missing
license information and credits (guys who made the wallpaper, screenshot 1-6)
search
you tell me
Known bugs (so far)
double tapping a downscaled images which aspect ratio is nearly the same as the device's screen, sometimes doesn't initiate a zoom (like screenshot 11)
when there are too many replies to a comment, the client will not fetch all of them correctly
still some concurrency problems resulting in an app crash
you tell me
I attached some screenshots of the app. If you'd like to help me, just send me a PM with your LIVE e-mail address (the one you are using for the market). At the moment I'm looking for up to 10-15 testers.
I wish I could pay you for your efforts but I can't However, I will offer each beta tester a refund for the in-app purchase to remove ads (~1.5$).
During beta stage there won't be ads and if so, all in-app purchases are free during the app is published within the beta market. There won't be a "stand alone" paid version of this app.
I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, Rudy Huyn app is good, but crashing (mostly on devices with 512MB RAM).
9gag app for devices with less RAM would be good. Lookin forward.

9GAG+ works perfectly so far, of course only the implemented features. I've used it a few times already and can report no crashes.. and the comment design is awesome
can you add the option to directly hum to the first post of a list, e.g. when I click trending? so far, it looks really good

Sounds good I'm going to finish the bookmark system this evening (currently I'm stuck at work ;(). Afterwards I will implement the settings page. If you're lucky you can use it tomorrow morning
I think you're doing good job, from screenshot I can see 2 good differences with other's app

Thank you I just sent you a PM with the market link.
I just submitted an update to the market. Bookmarks are working for now Still no settings
Edit.
At the moment there are 3 testers. So, don't hesitate to drop me a few lines
I'm busy right now , can't try the "bookmark" error you described in pm, but I was thinking if you can add "resume last position" for the sections...(like the other app), bye :good:
Bookmarks work fine so far, only removing them from bookmarks is only temporary (reloading the list gets all bookmarks again)

Are you sure on that? Coz actually it isn't possible. The list maps directly to a database. When you remove an item from the list, it's removed from the database automatically. I also cannot reproduce what you are saying. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
edit.
I just pushed another tiny update to the store
1.0.0.3
- submitting crash reports should work now
- added (basic) settings. choose which channel shall be displayed on the hub page and whether to start browsing channels in fullscreen or in "quick browsing mode"
- localization: en, de

the home is better with icons before "bookmark, settings ecc"
Maybe it's normal but when you navigate through the two pages of channels sometimes it makes some lag, but not everytime.
Are you interested about italian translation?

I will definitely think about this feature. At the moment I don't have clue how to implement it without breaking user experience.
The problem is quite simple. The collection of items displayed in a list are fully virtualized. That means items are both loaded and rendered on demand - starting with the most recent post in a channel. It's more or less simple to initialize a channel from a specified point (last position the user left) but at that time I don't know anything about the ancestor items (posts). In the end the list, which is shown to you, will start at the last position you left and you won't be able slide left to view newer posts. The only solution which currently comes to my mind is to load a channel from the beginning and skipping all items until I reach the one you viewed last time. Of course I can do this but it's a damn waste of resources (CPU, memory and traffic).
As said, I will think about this one. But not now

Well, it shouldn't be normal
Just to make sure I get your point. You're talking about the list view and fullscreen view of a channel? The lag occures when you switch between those two views?
An Italian translation would be great but at the moment I need to finish the app first. Afterwards I could provide you with a list of strings
Starting to test it tommorow
ok tried a lot and no more lag , never! I think there was some bloatware running on the phone.
about the "resume last post" I'm not a dev but I understand to fix... I prefer your app over other's becuase it's faster, if I have to choose between "resume" and speed, the second one is better!!!
good job!

As I told you in the Email, great app.
Here are some ideas to make the app better:
1. For the channels icon you can take the latest picture from tha cahnnel (you can make it refresh every time the app starts or sth. like that)
2. Resume from the last picture you saw in the channel. That means when I'm watching a channel and than go back to the menu and watch other channel and wann go back to the previous channel so that I musn't start watching from the latest picture but there will be a pop up window or sth like that so I will be able to choose if I want resume or start new session.
3. When I tap on the picture there is always some free space under tha picture (see in the attachments "screen 1.png"). It looks really crappy so you should remove it.
That's all till now I will tell you when I found sth.

I'd go with Readit to be honest.
have to agree with the other posters - not the app it could be, but a good idea nonetheless. keep going!
Hi all. Not sure if this is exactly the right spot, but I thought I'd try.
So I did the WTF upgrade on my V30+, and after having set everything up, I'm left with a REALLY annoying artifact/feature.
Every time I visit a page on MSN.com or on Reddit.com and scroll down the page to read more, these websites ask me to install their app. I've tried saying no. I've tried saying yes, but then not installing. I've tried cancelling out. I've tried reinstalling Chrome and then tried Chrome Dev. No matter what I do (short of installing the apps, which I did not try), the web pages will continue to suggest that I download the app on EVERY SINGLE PAGE I VISIT ON THEIR SITES.
Suffice to say, I"m really annoyed at this "feature" and was wondering if anyone knows how to either get rid of it or suppress it once and for all. If it doesn't stop, I'm considering changing my default browser to something else.
Firefox Nightly and Brave Browser are two full featured browsers that give you more control of what displays on your screen.

Yep. I have AdAway running.
I also get those when javascript is allowed ...
Use a browser which can disable javascript - such as "Naked Browser",
or use e.g. Firefox with UBlock Origin in +/-"advanced user" mode and disable java scripts globally, then case by case allow them - this should prevent these kind of incidences by default

not sure which webbrowser you used - but yeah, the web nowadays is stupid - loading all stuff via external frames, external sites, etc.
you, of course, can circumvent those message via using e.g. reddit app or having it installed (not sure if merely installing it would make that message stop).
Another way would be to load the "desktop version" of the site, in that case, it shouldn't be displayed neither
Maybe I just miss my very out-of-date LG G3 experience where it didn't know how to deal with any of this. Heh.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, folks. I appreciate it. I'll keep playing around with Chrome and alternative browsers to see if there's a way to get it to where I want.
I posted this on the Kiwi Browser thread more in mourning at the lack of support and updates Kiwi has received in the last year or so.
So I stumbled on Soul Browser and it's been excellent so far. Extremely fast and lite. Unfortunately it doesn't have extensions but it's got virtually every function and customization you can think of. Digging into it's background it seems to be from a developer out of the UK so should be safe. It's on the Play Store but not open source unfortunately.
Everything is good and all but i couldn't find the toggle to turn video overlays on fullscreen. i watch something on youtube in portrait mode, when i make it fullscreen, video pauses, sometimes starts from the beginning and i don't like that overlay with full of buttons. How do i turn that of and have smooth transition?

Read the last 5 or so pages of the Kiwi thread on here and most of your concerns are answered. I, and several others, had the same worries but it seems Adguard DNS takes care of most issues. Trackers etc are all Google stuff anyway according to ClassyShark.

Thanks, yes I've just come from there! I use nextdns so nothing gets through to Google any way. It looks more a Samsung Internet base than Kiwi/plain Chrome. I just wish there was more info. And I'm so tired of being unable to migrate bookmarks, logins, cookies, etc between browsers!

I understand it's Chromium based but so is Samsung so all the same.
I'm having issues using it with NextDNS. It works but I get constant SSL errors on Soul which I don't get on Samsung or Kiwi, so there's something NextDNS doesn't like in there but I can't find it in the NextDNS logs. However it works fine with Adguard DNS and all trackers etc are blocked. I added Energized Ultimate to the adblock host list in Soul as an extra measure.
I imported my chrome bookmarks with ease using the html file. So no issues there.
A very good browser and can be greatly configured
(bars on top or bottom in custom size, long press settings, swipe settings, back/forward gestures, double finger gestures, no reload when back/forth, skip to page beginning, floating scrollbar, own blocklists, full auto dark mode, video downloader and much much more). I've never seen a better mobile browser, it's crazy.
But my problem with it is that it doesn't launch native apps from links:
Youtube is launched only if you google for youtube, but not from embedded videos; reddit is launched only if you use native reddit app and not third party one; ebay app doesn't launch and so on. Dealbreaker for me - I feel like on iOS.
Another thing is adblocker isn't consistent. If you jump through tabs and apps and then go back to prev opened website, sometimes there is suddenly an ad running, which was blocked before.
So overall it feels kinda buggy and you can say it's made by one person and on top of that - by a completly unknown entity (no mail, website) originate in Asia.
So I'm back on Samsung Browser beta which is still missing few nice to have things, but is fully baked.

So overall it feels kinda buggy and you can say it's made by one person and on top of that - by a completly unknown entity (no mail, website) originate in Asia.
So I'm back on Samsung Browser beta which is still missing few nice to have things, but is fully baked.

I use Vanced and it launches directly. Check settings and enable the toggle to allow YouTube launch. I don't know about the ebay app but complaining about a 3rd party reddit app isn't the browsers fault.
I've switched off the built-in adblocker and use 1Hosts Pro and Energized Ultimate in the user field and never had that problem even with the built-in one active. Maybe because I also use a private dns adblocker on my devices.
I think the developer is from Korea as there are references to Korean legalities if you dig a little. I use this browser for daily casual surfing and it's fantastic but my main browser is also Samsung for secure and private stuff. Best of both worlds.
Well I use YouTube app and not vanced and it's not working. Toggle is set correctly and as I said some apps are starting, example "eBay Kleinanzeigen".
Ofcourse it's browsers fault if 3rd party reddit client is not starting IF it's registered in system as default reddit client.
Well written browsers always open apps properly: Samsung Browser, Firefox, Yandex and so on, because they respect those flags.
I don't want to need use vpn for adblocking.

I stopped using Energized Ultimate as it was overkill and heavy. I'm using 1Hosts Pro, OISD and Easylist now.

I think it was for donations but doesn't seem to work anyway.
Thanks for letting other people know about this browser.
I am not a advanced user. I only want a browser with adblocker and simple interface. I don't know about hosts, dns, etc.,
I have used Via, OH, Berry, Fulguris, Stargon, Onbibi browsers. Soul mixes all these into one.
Thanks
One thing missing is reader mode. Some old websites won't "work" mobile without it, example:
Infinite-baffle
Honestly! I'm just loving it! Perfect title and Perfect Browser name! Soul Browser

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.app.soulbrowser ? I don't see any info about it at all, no blog, no homepage, no xda, nothing. Do you know any more about it? I love kiwi, and would stick if it wasn't Chrome 77, but for SB I cannot find anything about it and the dev replies on Play Store don't seem native english (which is fine, but I don't want yet another app later shown to be harvesting data)

I totally agree about how nice this browser is but I'm also VERY MUCH concerned about the risk of privacy violation. Anyone has additional info about this ?
To the author if he's reading us: why don't you show up and talk about this important aspect of your (fantastic) app ?
Cool browser. But there's no option to import passwords
This was my daily browser for a while but now things are getting out of control. So much customisations as I like but not working flawlessly. Sad that no developer communication exist and bugs are not getting fixed.
Really like this browser but I have one really annoying issue : when watching a video in full screen landscape mode and would like to adjust something and tap the screen, the navigation bar do not disappear automatically...
Anybody faced this issue?
