How the hell do I get my chrome bookmarks in the stock browser like my tablet has! I purchased the app chromemarks thinking it would do it. But it will only let me access my bookmarks not transfer them to the stock browser. So i have to open the app first then auto tranafered to the browser.
If someone can shine some light at this. It will be appreciated and thanked
Might be a part of the ics update.

I doubt the stock browser would do it, but a different browser can. Currently you can't use it on our phone because the browser requires ICS, but chrome for android allows syncing.
Even though I do use chrome on my desktop, I read about the firefox beta today and it has that feature between the firefox desktop browser, so I might switch back to firefox for now.

This is driving me nuts.. anyone come up with a way to import their xml or htm file from firefox to get their bookmarks into their Infuse 4G? I've had several other Android phones and MyBookmarks by Rerware has always worked, but for some reason when I import the bookmarks, it says "88 Bookmarks Imported" which is correct, but then when I open my browser there are NO bookmarks.
Anyone know what causes this and if there are any workarounds?
Thanks!
Doesn't Firefox Mobile have Firefox Sync (built into the desktop versions of Firefox 4 & up)? Seems like the easiest way to me.

Don't wanna use firefox on my phone, i want to use the native browser. If there's really no easy way to transfer bookmarks that's a huge downside to Android. ugh. :-(
I don't remember what forum I had seen it on but on ice they were supposed to replace our stock browser with a Google chrome browser. I wonder what happened.??

I believe the stock browser on ICS is the Chrome equivalent for Android. It should sync bookmarks and whatnot with your desktop Chrome browser.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

yup. the ics browser is the chrome equivalent for mobile. it does sync all your stuff with the chrome browser.
I tried searching for this problem on Google, but the only solution I came across was either by browsing gmail in classic or desktop mode on stock browser. I can't seem to delete a gmail email in mobile version. when I press the trash icon to delete an email, the icon turns blue to indicate that it has been pressed, but then it doesnt reload the page or delete anything. it just hangs..
since I am a frequent gmail user, I use dolphin browser instead, which works fine, but I still want to know what's causing the problem with stock browser. btw I don't use gmail app. my issue here is accessing gmail on stock browser.
thanks in advance!
edit: I am on stock btw.
am I the only one with this glitch? plz help
I dont have that issue but then again i use k9 email app. When i have used gmail via a browser on the phone i use chrome and dont have a issue

The app is far easier, I've found.
Nonetheless, I tested the stock browser and it does not actually delete any gmail items that I select when in mobile browsing mode. Works fine in Opera, though. I use Opera because it acts more in line with my expectations from a UI standpoint and rewraps text on zoom.
So, it's a stock browser bug, I'd think.

alright. thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe how Google's android stock browser has such glitch with gmail, which is also Google.
this is practically the main reason why I'm using dolphin instead. hope it gets fixed eventually.

I think google doesn't want us to deleted emails. Have you ever tried deleting your
email from the gmail website after not doing it fora few months? OMG! ITS crazy. First you can only do it 10 at a time and there may have hundreds or more, and each 10 take several clicks it can take hundreds of clicks! But if that's not bad enough if you want to completely delete them you have to do it all over again to delete them from the history and again from the trash.
Any reason you choose to use the browser over the app?

I like to surf internet and check emails under a single app. that's all lol
I'm getting frustrated with the way Chrome bookmarks are set up. Can anyone tell me how to make something a bookmark on my mobile and desktop bookmarks simultaneously? Whenever I add it to one group, it removes it from the other. I currently found a compromise by having my mobile version show the desktop bookmarks, but most of them are sites I do not access on any device other than my laptop. This is a very poor design, so I'm sure someone has figured out a workaround by now.
Try an app called "cmarks" to sync chrome bookmark both way
hope this helps.

I have a similar issue, I use bookmarks, not some mobile and some desktop bookmarks. I access all my websites on both my phone, tablet and pc.
I would like my phone and tablet to stop showing me the Mobile Bookmarks as default and instead show me the Desktop Bookmarks, because I keep and manage all my bookmarks on my desktop only. Not having to manage multiple sets of bookmarks is why I sync in the first place .
Now, I might be daft since I have not figured this out by myself, but Google has not been much help to me either.
Anyone got at tip? I run Stock JB 4.1.2 with latest Chrome browser on Samsung Galaxy S2. My tablet is an ipad with Chrome browser.
Thanks!
After some browser benchmarking i saw that samsung internet browser is faster than Google Chrome. I use samsung internet browser and I am suttisfied.
I used browserbench.org and octane.
Browserbench:
Internet browser :65573 score
Chrome : 55705
Octane:
Internet browser : 12853
Chrome : 10087
The one time I did use the Samsung Browser I did notice it was indeed faster than chrome. However personally a few milliseconds faster will not deter me from using chrome as I use chrome on my desktop as well.

Chrome has become bloated, stuttering and slow. The stock browser is infinitely better, and supports ad blockers.
The stock browser manages to keep 60fps almost all the time, while chrome... does not. lol
In general, I still use Chrome for the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem. There are few things I use the browser for where the speed is that critical. If it takes a few more seconds for a page to load, I don't really notice.
CM Browser: 62776 on JetStream.
I just wish the stock Samsung browser would support opening tabs in the background, its the number one feature I miss or else I'd switch to it as my daily driver for browsing.
I have tried many other browsers. Some of them are faster than Chrome. But I always go back to Chrome because I like the way settings are synched with all of my Android devices, my desktop and laptop. All of my bookmarks, passwords and history are there with whatever I'm using. Most of those other browsers are Android only.

I have always been a chrome user.
Until i got the S7 edge, I notice a massive difference between Stock and Chrome.
And never gone back to chrome.
I miss the Sync option, as i still use Chrome on my main desktops, But a price am happy to pay for a perfectly smooth browser.
(I just get very frustrated at them Ads/Popups that lock the browser (Forcing you to close the browser, They still get passed the Addblocker once in a while)
Like a Full screen ad, that hyjacks the Vibrate function, Does not let you go back or close etc.
I always use chrome for synchronization with all my devices . Previously use CM , Opera , Dolphin , and Samsung included . I prefer Chrome for synchronization though it may pay less than others.
Stock browser. Faster/smoother than Chrome.
I too have noticed the stock browser faster and I mean a lot faster then chrome, but like other's I've become reliant on having all my settings sync across all my devices which I can't live without.
Ideally I would like to use the stock browser due to it's efficiency but alas I am stuck with chrome (same reason I used chrome when I had an iPhone)
Stock browser here also
It's seem no any perfect way to sync with Chrome bookmarks and history, so that, no matter what kind of faster browser could not separate me from Google Chrome.

I was the same, But then when i look at how often i use Synced bookmarks or open tabs
Then whats the point.
I always use Push-bullet anyway, So to a faster more smoother browsing experience chrome has been removed.
Stock all the way FTW (Never thought i would see a day i would say this)

I use the Samsung Sync add-in for Chrome Desktop. It syncs the bookmarks in the desktop Chrome with the Samsung Internet browser. Works well for me.
Has anyone have an issue when the Samsung browser will not connect to the Internet when using Wifi? Alll other apps work and when I turn Wifi off the browser works again. Very odd.

Awesome!! I'm now explore the app on my desktop! thanks for sharing!
Samsung internet is much faster than Chrome. Also last updated Chrome browser become sluggish and have lagging tab switching animations.
But Samsung Internet couldn't open link on background!
So now I use UC Browser, same speed as Samsung Internet but with more functionalities.
Samsung Internet is great because it let's you block ads which makes it even faster.
