When the browser initially goes to the google news page, the width is fine for about 2 seconds, then it expands requiring me to scroll to the right to read each entry.
Is there any way to control the width of the browser page?

I installed the v2.0 of Co0kie Home Tab, which looks very good. But I made some changes to the "desktop", and now my shortcuts don't scroll sideways, (I had changed the quanity of pages to the maximum of 7, using the CHT-Editor). How can I change it back so that I CAN scroll sideways? Is there a (PDF) file or another "user-manual" I can download which I could read about how to change or alter features in this Home Tab?
So I've attached two images below, one is the default bookmark window from the stock Android browser. The other is after extending it by dragging the divider. Is there any way to extend it automatically? It's not a huge issue, I've just always found the sidebar a little useless.
Basically what I'm looking for in a browser:
1. Not horrible text rendering like Chrome.
2. Hides address bar when scrolling down, but brings back if you scroll up a little. At the same time, does not have to be in "fullscreen" mode which hides the status bar.
3. Does not have a bar at the bottom with back/forward buttons like iPhone. I like my screen space and there's already a nav bar down there.
4. Flash is a big plus but not essential.
Chrome sucks, Opera is now similar to Chrome, Firefox text rendering sucks, new AOSP sucks. Dolphin's out (pinch to zoom doesn't work, address bar stays hidden on scroll up).
I just want my Jelly Bean AOSP browser back. It was just perfect in every way.

My View on it's capabilities:
I wanted to help spread the word on an app that I heavily rely on for my minimal launcher setup. I wanted a completely blank canvas that still let's me quickly get to what I need, all while remaining invisible. This app easily accomplishes this for me, and so much more.
I use its built in toggles, app launching, widget launching (to have a blank home screen) and so much more.
If you are in need of a great gesture launcher, I would highly recommend giving this one a whirl. I tried many launchers for months before accidentally stumbling across this one.
I reached out to the developer a few times and was promptly greeted, and even had feature requests fulfilled within hours.
I hope others can enjoy it as much as I do.
Some screens of my setup:
Chrome..is there a way to shortcut my entire bookmaks list through 1 home screen icon? Im sick of going through the dots bookmark thing everytime i want to see a new site.
I used to use Cmarks before Google blocked the Api
With Nova launcher, yes.
(Using it for DuckDuckGo; no reason it cannot be done for Chrome)
Is it like a widget in the launcher?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope.
Just like a normal single icon on home screen (for the folder inside which are the shortcuts).
You can modify the icon for the main folder icon & the inside shortcut icons as you please.
Several shortcuts can be saved this way with either horizontal card panning or vertical scroll of shortcuts; background colour & transparency adjustable.
So that's close to what I've done as a temp. A folder with shortcuts in it. Cmarks was glorious cuz it had everything in a nice tight list and syncd with Google bookmarks automatically. It was like you bookmarks bar in 1 icon. I so miss this functionality.
