Web Page as Web App with Chrome - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
view weeks before I created a Web App shortcut in home screen
with the Chrome menu "add to home screen".
Today I done the same -
but by clicking on the icon, Chrome shows the Page as Tab content.
(not as Web App)
What is the reason? An update of Chrome?
Thank you for discussion

found the reason -
I inserted this line in html :
<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
And now with the Chrome menu "add to home screen"
results in a Web App if I click on the new icon.

[Q] How do I return to the Web Home Page?

I am using the default browser that came on my Samsung vibrant
When you are browsing a web site and want to return to your google.com home page, HOW do you do it?
Is there a one button push to get there like most browsers have.

Menu >> Close Existing Tab, that should create a new session with Default Home Page. or you add a bookmark shortcut for your home page on your home screen.
menu > new window
also, you know the top right button beside the URL is a shortcut to bookmarks right?

In the top right of the Browser is a menu button, click on it. Under General is a Set Homepage option. The Browser will open with the last page visited unless you close using the x on the tab or use back button until browser closes.

[Q] Share via menu

Hi,
Is there an app that will invoke the "Share via" menu upon clicking a link? I'm currently looking for a way to quickly add items to ReadItLater (instead of loading the page in the browser and clicking share).
Thanks!

stock browser launches blank page

Verizon GSIII - launching the stock browser gives me a blank page. I have gone into settings and set my home page as google and that did not work. I have restored the default setting for the browser and that did not work. any suggestions on how to get the browser to load the home page when launched?
Also, I would like to create a shortcut to Google Voice Search (Google search bar has it) so that i can use it as one of my lock screen shortcuts, but it does not show up in my application list.
Try clearing app data under SystemSettings->Apps->All->Browser
If that doesn't help - use Opera or Chrome from Play Market.
I'm not sure about lockscreen customizations - RTFM.

Why tab browsing in the default ICS browser is so painful?

Say that I have multiple tabs open, and I want to open a bookmark
page in one of them. I go to Menu > Bookmarks and open the
page I wanted. But what happens is that all the tabs are
automatically closed and I am left with only one tab; the one in
which I opened the bookmark.
Any way to fix it?
