I have the same problem but vice versa. I like IE and NOT Opera.

I had this same issue after installing Skyfire. I found the solution for restoring Opera to default here :

[TIP] Restore Opera Mobile as default browser
If you have tried Skyfire and are wishing you could restore Opera Mobile as the default browser, there is an easy way to do this.
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Thank you very much. It works!

Thank you much -- it worked for me as well. Don't know why, but Skyfire was awful on my Fuze -- slow, jerky, and wouldn't even render some pages?!?

Browser problem on 5.0.2Hr3_zh_signed

after i install this hayruko's version it seems that i'm having a problem with my browser. even when i change the uia string via about:debug to change it to desktop version after a while the browser goes back to mobile version are you guys having the same problem? i hate mobile browser version is there anyway to permanently change the uia string instead of keep changing it everytime i go to my browser?

Actually, if you configure it on googles site (search preferences) to use full html you will be fine. It is not an issue with the browser, but with google automatically dumming down the pages it lists in search results.
1) Go directly to google.com and select the settings link.
2) Truen off "Format web pages for your phone"
3) Save.
Hope this helps. If you clear cookies you will have to do this again.

did not help. there's gotta be some option to change user agent permanently...

User agent switcher

Is there an app that will change user agent in the browser
other then about:debug don't work for some sites it still gives the mobile website
even skyfire & dolphin still show mobile sites sometimes even if it has desktop view is selected they must be using about:debug option since all they are GUI on top of the stock android browser.
only browser i seen work Xscope browser with ( UA string set to computer ) but it can't use flash 4.1 that ships in the with evo I will have to wait for froyo to get flash 10.1 and hope that xscope can use it?
it be cool if i could just use stock browser instead of having to use 3rd party browser but UA string options are very limited.
any ideas?

[Q] Saving web page as HTML?

Dolphin HD can save a web page as an HTML file, but it asks for the filename and supplies a poor default such as "index.html". I wish the default file name could be the title of the web page.
Are there any other browsers that can save a web page as HTML? I do not find this ability in the standard browser, FireFox, Skyfire, or Opera Mobile (unless I overlooked something). Opera Mobile does provide a save, but its in a proprietary format, not what I am looking for.

I think dolphin saves it with the actual filename of the page on the server and as index.html is generally what the web admins have it set to (it makes their life much easier)

By Title of Web Page, I am refering to the title shown to the user and found in the [TITLE] tag. That is how Safari saves a page on a mac.

Yes i thought that was what you meant but that's not what browsers do, they only read the actual file name

When a browser pulls a resource from a server to save it locally uses the name of the file in the server (index.html, contact.php, about.aspx or whatever) because that's how it is identified.
Index.html, index.php, default.aspx etc are the first pages a server serves when a browser sends a request.
The page title you see in the browser's tab is coded in the html markup and is mostly used to identify the page if you have several tabs open but is not the name of the file.

I understand all of that, but Safari on the Mac desktop actually DOES look at the TITLE tag to find a default file name when I save.

I checked the browsers and no, I didn't see a save option either. I suppose because being mobile builds they have to be lighter than the desktop counterparts. On desktop the standard behavior is the filename but some times a browser uses other convention.

[APP] Universal bookmarks import/export tool

Hi again,
When you select a Internet browser and you use it during a long time, you have provably added some bookmarks and the browsers (normally) don't supports to export it.
This difficult the easy browser change
My actual project tries to solve it.
With this application you can export/import bookmarks from one to other browser easy.
Of course not all the browsers are supported. At this moment I'm only have developed interfaces for stock browser, Samsung browser, Dolphin, Firefox (normal and beta versions) and Bloat (normal and mini versions).
Also, Chrome is supported (only export bookmarks to another browser is supported at this moment).
The app access to the browsers file system in order to get/set the bookmarks. Due to that, app needs to got root permissions.
Please, let me know your opinions.
Thanks

I assume this app isn't interesting...
I assume that this application is not interesting and close the project.
