I was opening some favoriate pages and book marking them. I notice on a few pages (hockeybuzz.com for example) that the browser just closed. Does the Android browser force close when it detects a page error? I had no trouble opening the same page on Opera Mini.
Also is the reason I can not play videos on ESPN.com because their videos are Flash 9 and Flash Lite 3.1 can no decode those videos

Has YouTube changed something recently (June 2011)?
Using Opera Mini 5.1 (last Windows Mobile version released) I have been able to view most YouTube videos through the HTC streaming app.
That is up until the last week or two. Now when I visit youtube and select a video there is no longer any "click to view video" text or any video placeholder.
I haven't changed anything on the phone.
I can play videos using Opera Mobile 9.5 through the streaming app, but that browser is so bloated that it shuts down all other running apps, nails the CPU at 100%, and then crashes if I open more than 1 tab. In any case, that indicates that the HTC streaming app is still set up as my device's default stream handler.
So, has anyone else noted any recent issues like this with Youtube on WM devices?
Thanks.
ok, considering the jump to win phone
I have a few questions on how it deals with video links in email, websites and in apps
iOS6 when you click a YouTube within FB or Twitter apps it goes to a web browser with in the the app and plays it in that browser, or if you click open in safari if its YouTube it goes to the YT app
On android its similar
what does Windows phone do in these apps ?
A- if its a YouTube video
B- if its non YouTube but mobile friendly.
I basicly want how it handles YouTube video links, and non youtube
does it play with in the app, or does it fire up IE ?
I think it plays in a YouTube player and you can go "back" to return to social media app.

I haven't tried the Twitter app, but in general, either within an app or the built-in integration (available for both FB and Twitter), video links will open in the browser. What happens then depends on how you have your browser set up; the default behavior for YouTube is to launch the YouTube app, but I prefer HTML5 video so I enabled that option on the YouTube site and set my browser in "desktop mode" so YT serves it HTML5 video. For sites which don't have any WP7-specific functionality but serve HTML5 video, the video will work fine as expected. HTML5 video doesn't actually play directly in the browser - it launches a separate video player to do it - but otherwise it works just fine.
i got Naked Browser Pro for my samsumg s3. when i click on a youtube link, instead of the video opening in the youtube app, it opens in the browser. the idiot developer says its not possible.. clearly hes wrong. i've cleared defaults in the browser, yt app and native browser but the problem persists. how do i get it to open in the yt app?
TF101 not rooted. Chrome shows only a black screen when playing videos on any site. Audio works and all the controls work. Just no picture.
The internal browser and Opera have no difficulty, but for some sites I like Chrome because it allows zooming on sites that don't allow zooming (e.g. icanhascheezeburger.com).
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and deleted all site data, with no success.

I saw this issue with Chrome, but using Chrome Beta it was working. Give that a shot.
With Opera, in the settings I have user agent set to desktop. How can I set user agent to desktop in Chrome?
In Opera, when I view the camera thread at XDA, it says 'couldn't load plugin' all the way down the opening post.
When I view the same thread in Chrome, no such problem, it loads all the youtube videos.
But it would seem there's actually no plugins for Opera. How can I fix this?
