Browser - General Questions and Answers

I am searching for a web browser where i can turn of my address bar so i can only from the homepage, thats because i want my personnel just to use my website. not something else.

What exactly do you mean?

Question about mobile google.com...

How do I get to google without using this ridiculous crippled page for weak mobile devices? I want the full google search that leads me to full websites, rather than a crippled google search that leads me to parsed websites for use with eight year old Nokia browsers, so someone please enlighten me, as I can't seem to find the answer to this.

You can click on "Preferences" on the bottom of Google's homepage to change whether Google formats the results for your phone or not. Is that what you're looking for?
I checked, there's not even an option for that in prefs.

Strange, I have that option. What browser are you using?
PIE.. wasn't too impressed with the performance of anything else.

Okay, so here's where I think I might be confused by what you're saying. When I search using Google with PIE, I get every result I would normally get on my laptop/desktop. The only difference is that the resulting pages will be formatted differently to look a bit better on a mobile device, but the pages are complete.
The only thing I can see that you might be talking about is that there's an option on Google.com to search "Mobile Web (Beta)", under the search button, which does bring up limited, or "crippled" results. But you have to manually click that option each time you search.
I wish it were that simple.. when I go to google.com, it brings me straight to a mobile version of google, with no option of changing to a non-mobile version.
It's not so much that I have a mobile version of google, as it is that google wants to parse all of the sites I go to from the search results.

Well, yeah, I get taken directly to www.google.com/m rather than the standard www.google.com when I'm using PIE. Is that the same mobile site you're directed to? If it is, I might be at a loss on this one. I'm not getting the same limitations you are and I can't seem to replicate it either.
Most of the time I find their reformatted page better for viewing. However if you navigate to a link where you actually need to view the full page unaltered you can click the "view in html" link at the bottom and it will bring you to the unaltered page. Hope that helps.

how to set the opera in HD2 to show scroll bar?

i try to set it in 'about:config' but it has no response! i have checked the box of show scroll bar but no change! can anyone help! many thanks!
i havent tryd this so just guessing, but isnt it like the other scrollbars? where you have to hold your thumb far right for the scrollbar button to 'grow out'?
i've tried but the scroll box dont come out!
it is very inconvenient especially when need to drag down to the bottom. now i have to scroll with finger many times! pls help!
Has anyone found the solution to this problem yet?
Come on guys? Am I the only one who visit long web pages?
did anyone find a solution to this.
Is is not possible to have a pop-out enlargened scroll bay in Opera.
Sorry guys but Opera just doesnt have a real scrollbar. All you can see there is a sort of indicator, not more not less. It is just not an active part of Opera just a visual thing. You cant do anything about that...
How can these very basic function be missing in opera which is supposedly one of the best browser!
Even stranger is that I spend two hours searching and noticed that not much people are complaining about this......
Very bad when trying to read entries from wikipedia. Had to flick my finger till I feel like throwing the phone out the windows! Guess I've to start searching for an alternative browser.....
I often read large documents with opera. Getting to the bottom of one webpage I had to swipe down 500 times - yes I counted them!
I agree this should be a standard function of any browser.

[Q] How to fix the IE mobile large text size issue?

This is a problem with all WP7 phones yet I can't find any details about it anywhere.
In some websites, certain portions of text will appear abnormally large, as if the text size was set to large and the zoom level was set to normal. Is there a way to fix it?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about

Uh, thanks...so do you know how to fix this problem?
Anyone...?
Guys...come on. I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
Please don't tripple post.
I sometimes have this problem briefly on xda developers website, but when it is done loading, it goes back to normal. Try changing your browser settings to desktop view for viewing that site and see what that does.
I have a problem with IE on Omnia 7. The problem is it wont load any page... My connection is OK because everything else works (email, "Now" tile refreshes weather and news normally, my facebook account is regulary updated).
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Just tried that, no success...
Can you post a picture please?
There's nothing wrong with the IE in WP7. That's an error in the website's code. That's a problem with so many different browsers being out. Different browsers display pages differently. It's the web developers job to test their code in multiple browsers to make sure they display properly.
Then why does it happen with 8 out of every 10 websites I visist?
Can you go to overclock.net and see if you can reproduce the problem?
I have tried the IE9 in the new updated emulator and it definitely fixes this.

url in chrome not going to webpage, but to search

I have a really annoying issue. and its happening in all my browsers, chrome, firefox, next...
when i type a url: for example: xda-developers.com in the omni bar. it takes me to search-goals.com
i have to actually type the www or the http for it to take me to the website.
i looked through all the browser settings but this is not mentioned anywhere. also googleing for an answer isnt helping
Ok found the problem. it was ai keyboard. and it had some "smart search" function... boy that was annoying.

Locked web sites

Does anyone know about this? There is a couple web pages I visit regularly and I noticed today that there is a padlock on the address bar. How do I disable it or get rid of it? It was never there on my note 4. Is there a setting in the Internet Explorer?
It's probably SSL same as in your chrome browser.

How do you fix that so that's not on there anymore?
That "lock" is not bad - it´s good!
This means that the connection to the Website is secure and no other person can simple read the data traffic.
It does not mean that the website is blocked or so.
You WANT there to be a lock in the address bar to show that you're connecting to a secure site! Also, Internet Explorer is a web browser for the Microsoft Windows operating system. I'm not sure which browser you're actually using on your phone running the Android operating system but it definitely is not Internet Explorer.

No, there is no setting for the "internet explorer". Honestly I really want to know how you got IE on Android and why you would go through so much trouble for such a sh*t browser.
Sarcasm aside, everyone has a answered your question. With that I'll say have a great evening
Oh btw, type " https://" before the rest of the URL. It should force SSL if the server has it.
