Chrome - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

I love this browser on my desktop but on my phone the soft keyboard only comes up in the address bar but it doesn't come up in actual websites. Does this happen to anyone?

It's been doing that on mine since the last Chrome upgrade, but I mostly use FireFox so it doesn't really bother me.

its a chrome bug with devices that have hard keyboards....it also causes this on other apps until you uninstall chrome. I would really love to use dolphin browser but I need my bookmarks on my desktop to also be synced with my phone

Long time Firefox user here. I'm thinking of switching to chrome exactly for that reason...

I've been using FireFox sync, works well.

I see your point. Same reasoning behind me using Firefox I guess. I use it for 99% of my desktop browsing so it just makes more sense to use it on the android and have everything available there. :good:

What baffles me is the android browser hasn't been replaced by chrome yet. Why have two separate?

I never thought about that. Guess I always assumed that it was a stripped down version of Chrome in android. I know Firefox won't run on all androids, or at least satisfactorily, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I have a copy that still works before the update that made me stop using it. Just don't update it.

Get Chrome from market if you are on ICS

In case you forgot, you can run Google Chrome on your ICS device now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en). There are some goodies there which are not available in stock browser and you might like it better.
Agreed, it is smother than the stock browser, plus, you have all your chrome bookmarks automatically synchronized. Also, you can access the pages you have opened in other computers and devices (which is cool and scary at the same time).

It's by far the greatest advantage of Mobile Chrome... being reading something in my laptop, then leaving and continuing to read the same thing, effortlessly, is pretty cool.
Or if I run into a page some cool Android app while on my computer, instead of e-mailing the link, I just open Chrome Mobile, and there's the page.

Best selling point for Chrome to me is the bookmark syncing. Thats huge IMHO and I think it should have been implemented from the start with Android.

Google's new Chrome web browser for Android will never get support for Adobe Flash, Ars Technica reports.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise, since Adobe previously stated that it was finished working on Flash for mobiles.
So effectively, mobile Flash is officially on the way out. Even though Adobe itself has given up on it, that hasn't stopped plenty of manufacturers from continuing to advertise Flash as a selling point for Android.
Ars Technica deftly points out:
When Google eventually moves to replace the default Android browser with Chrome in future versions of the Android platform, devices that run the operating system will likely no longer be able to play Flash content in the browser.

No! Wonder who made that excecutive decision. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing yet. People use the phones more than a home computer. So you would think they would want to work harder on mobile flash. I'm still kinda in denial about this whole thing,

SkyRocket [ICS The Real Thing Rom]
Last I read, Flash was going away. In favor of HTML5? So not everyone will be supporting it in the future.
I'm using Chrome Beta also. It's not 100% ready for prime time, but works pretty well so far. And the fact it syncs bookmarks with my home Chrome browser is HUGE for me.
But I wish it were easier to add mobile-only bookmarks. It's not super friendly in that area yet. I love Dolphin browsers home page where I can add quick bookmarks.
So OK, how is it that I can't find it on Play? Is it because I'm on superlite ICS and if so, is there a way I can trick Play to show me everything?
I tried Chrome and it is ok, but has handy features missing. I'll stick to stock, which has all my Chrome bookmarks synced to it anyway, it is super fast.

How were you able to sync your Google bookmarks to the stock browser? I tried a couple months ago and couldn't figure it out.

I'm assuming you're on GB still since you mentioned you tried a couple of months ago. Using the ICS browser it automatically syncs your chrome bookmarks.

I know lots of people prefer ICS+ but It just keep messing up my usage. Just somehow, I don't like the way how it worked on infuse. The side selection menu is all the point.
I would recommend Chrome beta or the system browser. They are both pretty good.
The system browser has the side selection which is very convenient, even it's only five fixed selections it's enough. I like the way how you can switch between tabs in the system browser easily.
On the other hand, I noticed a speed advantage in Chrome beta. The tab sync function is excellent if you use Chrome on your computer. Totally "Cloud". Also the magnifier function when you click on some close links save you some time double tap to zoom in.
The others are gingerbread era browser. Probably among those I would recommend Opera mobile.
Just some personal suggestion

I must agree. I was using ICS browser plus... but after using Chrome beta.. I must say.. it is probably the best browser I have used.. It's great how it links to your home computer's tabs if you're using Chrome at home too.
Chrome Beta for the win!

Bookmark syncing is a welcome addition as well. Chrome ftw
I used to dislike chrome for android... but it now works very well. I vote chrome, it makes the browsing super snappy compared to the stock one which takes forever to load xda and such.

Same. It's a lot faster than the default browser and it is still in Beta and only available for ics roms. One of the things I like about it is that it syncs all of my bookmarks from my pc, which is a really cool feature. My vote is for Chrome as well.

Am I the only one that thinks the stock htc browser is better than chrome?

Discuss.
I feel it is a lot smoother and more stable.
Also syncs with my Google account.

I really wanted to like Chrome just because I use Chrome as my desktop browser and liked the idea of it all synching up perfectly.
That never really worked out. Chrome for Android is pretty slow, and very buggy, for me.
Switched to Dolphin and never looked back. Just a fantastic browser.
Hate the ICS sense browser, but I freaking love the jb sense browser

I personally like Opera. Never been a big fan of stock browsers on Android or Apple devices. I dislike Chrome. Thought it stunk on computers but on the phone its dreadful. I was hoping Firefox would be useful as it's my favorite computer browser but again, fails on a phone.
Opera is very fast and simple. These are my opinions though.

Currently using dolphin browsing over chrome :silly:
I have searched the forums but have not found an answer to the quick controls on the jb browser.
You know how you can set the quick controls trigger area on the quick ICS browser, I was wondering if there is a way to do the same on the jb browser. I have an otter box case and it makes it almost impossible to trigger quick controls without adjusting the trigger area.

aosp tabbed browser ftw. I just wish it would stop showing xda threads in faded grey and save my login info.
I use Chrome when I want to access my favorites or browser tabs on another device, otherwise I always use Dolphin.
It’s really depressing to me, because I love Chrome on the desktop. I don’t understand how a flagship product can be so bad
Dolphin for me.
Easiest to get to bookmarks with side swipe.
Every once in a while I go and try dolphin again, but I find the side swiping annoying, because I always end up activating it without meaning to

Best browser for S7

Hi, I have just purchased S7 few days ago. I'm satisfied with the device and still getting used to it. Currently, I'm also using iPhone 6S.
I still haven't found the right browser for me. I really like Safari on my iPhone, that can sync all my password and bookmark to Safari on Mac and iPad. Reading list, reader mode, and adblock are also awesome. Is there any browser on Android that come close with this functionality?
Also, does Chrome and Firefox also sync your passwors to Desktop browser? And how do you open tab in background in Samsung Internet Browser?

Chrome would be your best bet but the stock sbrowser while based on chrome is by far the fastest and smoothest (doesn't sync with your desktop though).
I use Dolphin and have done for a long time. Sync bookmarks with for example your Google account , really easy to use bookmarks. Just swipe from left side of screen. I use it on both my Samsung and iPhone
