As far as I know, the only way is to change the browser configuration so that when you click on a link it always opens in a separate tab and also to switch your view to that tab. The back key always does what you just found.
The browsers that are available now are written for mobile phones rather than tablets and so this problem exists with all the browsers I have tried so far on the TF.

Not a fix, but dolphin HD has back and forward gestures you can use

Try Dolphin for Pad.
Has a very good Back/Forward buttons.
Dolphin for Pad is my default browser of choice.

Yeah I notice the same problem with mine. Dolphin pad is nice, but I can't stand the interface and the look of it. It looks so childish and doesn't match the honeycomb look and feel. I really hope opera will make a tablet version. It's the best browser I have tried on android.

[REQ] A improved and not so irritating gallery app

Im looking for a more functional browser, nothing fancy nor top of the line, just a little bit less irritating.
I have a samsung galaxy s vibrant and am irritated by the stock gallery. Firstly I cant play .GIF files, this is a major irritation cause i like to play the images for people and get a glorious laugh moment.
Secondly when I click the share button the list of apps pops up that I can use to share with. I can glide up or down this list smoothly, atleast within the confines of the screen. The list doesnt move when you slide up or down it just highlights whats initially visible on the screen. This is quite unfavorable if your an app whore with lots of apps that provide image sharing abilities because they seem to drown the other apps off the list.
Would any one be able to point out any decent replacement gallery apps or mods that allow these problems or issues to be remedied.
I use Dolphin HD as my "stock browser". For something no-fuss Id suggest Opera Mini.
As for a Gallery replacemnt; QuickPic is very good. I root-uninstalled the default Gallery (do at own risk).

Quickpic seems to be doing the trick ... no playing .gif files but i can get over that cause its smooth and light
you could also try picturen or justpicture
Quickpic rocks EXCEPT for 2 things:
1. No animated gifs
2. No Picasa integration
quickpic looks pretty good to me! thanks for the heads up!

Firefox 10

Pretty sure this hasn't been posted yet, but Firefox 10 has just been released for Android, and it is in my mind close to the perfect browser.
I've been dying for an Android browser that is GPU accelerated like Opera and Dolphin, but has scrolling constraints in the vertical plane. Meaning if I zoom in and flick to scroll down, then it doesn't scroll minutely left or right. Firefox 10 does this perfectly. It's also very fast now and on par with Opera/Dolphin.
Also, unlike Opera, it doesn't spaz out when you change the LCD density to 240 and change the interface to tablet mode that makes it impossible to use the menus.
Only small things, but they were driving me crazy on Opera Mobile and I'm now happy there's a solution.
If you haven't already, I'd suggest giving it a lash.
Also, now it starts instantly, has support for add-ons and it synchronizes nicely (bookmarks, history and some settings) with the desktop version. And the logo is a classic.
It's "good" enough i guess, but still no flash. It's a no go for me.

True, I forgot to mention no flash. I don't use flash at all so it was not a consideration but many others probably do, so thanks for the reminder. Youtube videos still play embedded properly though for anyone wondering.
its definitely doing great even for the mac too
Here's Firefox 11 alpha 2 Aurora WITH flash support and much more.

Cheers LM, I'll check it out.
Is there a way to set the user agent so that one can decide to brows as desktop and not as mobile, like in dolphin one can do?
Inviato dal mio GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk
Go into Settings, Addon tab, then search and install "Phony" addon. After the browser reboot. In the main Settings menu should have option to change user agents.
Don't forget you can also run the bleeding edge nightlies alongside the other versions.
Its totally different to v10
what about removing status bar?
Just found it - type in "full screen" in the add-ons search..... doh!
i use Firefox 11 alpha 2 Aurora and it nice i think
I like the Chrome Beta better

Flash will soon be terminated and support allready stopped (no updates anymore), html5 is the future
interface is nice and useable on 3g and wifi. but if ur on a slow connection and want pages loading with lower data usage, opera is still the one. (gprs/edge)

What browser are you using?

I liked the gnex browser better.
What's best for the one x? Chrome? But no flaah... What's the general concensus?

using chrome beta myself. so far, it's been good to me.
I like chrome better than the stock browser. Haven't tried dolphin since I had the iBoring. Might try it soon though

ive been using ics browser
havent tried chrome yet , cuz i forgot lol
i used to love opera browser, but they dont work that well with ics yet
I prefer to use chrome beta, but I keep the stock browser as default because for whatever reason when I click a link from the facebook app it won't work in chrome but it does work with stock.
Chrome... and what was that post about "certain" websites with flash? lol... pr0n?
Anyway, I also have always liked Opera to be honest. Funny, I only like it on Android haha. I'm thinking I'll likely use Chrome over Opera now that it's out, but the look of Opera is pretty nice with the black and it maximizes on space. Also many other nice features...Most of which I think Chrome beta has, but still. Nice browser and been fast for me too.
ICS browser +

Quick ics browser is my weapon of choice. Almost the same as ics browser + but you can adjust the threshold for the quick features.

Oh, and does anyone know if Chrome (beta) transfers bookmarks over from the desktop version?

Yes, it will sync. You need to enable the sync of course on your phone. Then you also need to be signed in from your desktop browser. Go to the wrench and then "sign in" ... it says under the chrome beta on your mobile phone where to go. You need an app specific password I guess...It asked me for one so I made a new one.
Anyway, it worked and if you are then signed in on your desktop browser you can actually open the tabs you have open there on your phone!
However, it's a novel feature because of course it does not carry over any sessions. So right now I see this "reply to thread" page on my phone (it just synced) but if I open it on my One X, it asks me to sign in to XDA of course.
But most importantly, it will sync your bookmarks.
edit-- if you've never signed in before using chrome on your desktop, note that your browser might become themed. i thought the window chrome was messed up at first, but it ended up being a design element. i'm now trying to remove the theme...i don't like it and just want it basic windows color. (easy enough)
also note: if you develop web sites/apps locally ha, you might run into issues. it can't sync across the tab because it won't ever load on your phone of course. so on my desktop browser it now won't open my local web app. i turned off sync for tabs and only have it for bookmarks and autofill (under advanced in the settings up top next to your signed in account) but still no good. i may now have to sign out of chrome on the desktop just to build apps. that stinks.
Xscope browser for me.

I was frustrated too. Then I realized that I could clear the defaults. That worked.
Goto the Settings > Apps > Internet. Clear defaults.
This should set it to Chrome. Also you could change from App association

Dolphin HD. I used to use Chrome since it really screams, but it's just too buggy. I wish it wasn't since it even syncs with your desktop bookmarks. Hopefully it comes out of beta soon.
For myself personally I still thing that the Dolphin Mini is faster, more snappy and loads the pages way faster then Chrome Beta. Until google gets there's act together and makes the browser as snappy and less of a hog I'll just back and keep using Dolphin Mini.
Using ICS+.
Chrome and even the stock are good but I've been getting the occasional hiccup in both of those, no problems with ICS+ though. Also a very small amount of scrolling lag on Chrome too.
Anyone else running into the swype function on the default keyboard not working within Chrome? Specifically the address/search bar.

How do you make Chrome the default browser on HTC one S? I've looked around on settings, did not see anything...help?

Is anyone else having issues with dock key input and Chrome?

I often find that I can't do simple text box typing from Google web search as there is no response from keyboard dock input.
I get this only in Chrome.

No problem with Chrome, here.
I heard a lot about this problem. People believe this is a Chrome's bug.
I use Firefox and Opera, no problems here.
It's a bug chrome or dock don't know. Swedish characters also does not work this is only in chrome.
it's working fine here as well
Strange, no problem here. Using a stock Infinity with just plain old Chrome. Works like a charm. If it means anything, I'm using the TF201 dock, English, and my software keyboard is Thumb keyboard.

Keyboard mouse cursor won't click on folders or bookmarks - have to use touchpad buttons - otherwise OK.
It is definitely strange, it is working once again, but at times it will bug out and the only I'll notice is when I change my Google search results and discover that I cannot input anything into the search box. The only way around it is if I enter my search criteria in the Chrome address bar.
I'm too using the TF201 tablet that is a carry over for when I had Transformer Prime.
I'm having the problem too. With chrome and a number of other apps as well.
