Is there any way to do Opera Mobile 11 the default browser?
Thanks,
It should just ask you what you want to use when you try opening a URL after installing an additional browser.
If not, go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, click All and scroll down to Browser and click on it. Then scroll to Launch by default and click Clear defaults. Now open the browser and click a link, it should ask what you want to open it with and let you set that as default.

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?!?
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...
With Opera Mobile 9 will automatically cravate favorite images after viewing the page you want.
You can simulate something with Opera Mobile 10, since it is not supported?
You can manually add thumbnails to bookmarks on the internet page (I can't remember where they're stored - someone will be able to advise you), but it's a pain, and you can't add new shortcuts to bookmarks that you've made in Opera 10 - only 9.7 and IE.
I personally got rid of the internet tab and just put Opera in the top row of my main page of quicklinks, so it's available from my home tab. Since it starts up with the "start grid" (unless configured otherwise), it's equally as good as the shortcuts on the opera tab.
Just a suggestion.

Is there a way to fix the web snapshot for the Internet thumbnail section if you remove one from the windows/temp folder by mistake. Because now it won't take a thumbnail web snapshot if I add to visual bookmarks

I deleted the one i had for BBC Football as i didnt like they image and now i cannot get an image to display for that favourite.......is there a register entry or something i need to clear to restore thing?
i think i might have found a way...place your favourite in internet tab, then, in order to have thumbnails, open pocket internet explorer, go to favorites and open web pages (the one placed on internet tab) and let them full load. if you close pie at this point you can see thumbnails in internet tab, tap on them and they will be opened with setted default browser, opera 10 in this case

I think I figured it out about this bookmark thing. I have notice in opera 9.7 that the little symbol next to web address that looks like a box with lines in it is all mess up. Now I don't know what that symbol represents but I think by fixing this it will fix the problem.
Maybe its just old age but i thought i had read somewhere how to force the stock browser to load the regular web page, not the mobile page. ???
For example the Arizona Republic and hotmail automatically load in mobile view. Thats fine on my droid x but annoying on my TF...
Sure you can change the Browser to render pages is "Despktop" view. If you are on Android 3.1, open the Browser and go to Settings > Advanced > UserAgent String and select "Desktop". If you are on Android 3.0 then you must open the Browser and do the about:debug thing. But why would you still be on 3.0?

Thanks! That worked.
has anyone tried dolphin with user agent set to ipad and tried opening youtube?
On my NexS Global I have Opera set as my default browser but when I click a link in WhatsApp, for example, it opens in Chrome. I've gone into Chrome settings but can't find anything to disable it. I've also gone into the app in system settings but the default section is greyed out.
This started when I installed Chrome Beta last week so I uninstalled and went back to the regular version. The only way to stop it is by going into the default settings, selecting another browser and then selecting Opera again. But once I open Chrome for anything it takes over again. I need help guys. Any suggestions are appreciated.
