[Q] Can the pop-up browser expand to Chrome? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there a way to get the pop-up browser to expand into Chrome instead of the stock browser? I've seen from searches here and via Google that it may have 'glitched' this way for a couple people, but I want to do this deliberately and haven't found a flashable mod or setting to edit. Any directions or advice would be great, thanks!
Just to clarify, here's an example of what I'd like to do:
1) Use the pop-up browser to open a link from my Facebook feed.
2) Click the 'Expand' arrow in the pop-up browser to open the link in Chrome instead of the stock browser.

At the moment there isn't any way for it to happen but I won't be surprise if someone found or create a way to do what your talking about.

There's gotta be some way. A couple people in the CleanROM thread and in the Note II forums have had it glitch where it opens Chrome instead of stock. Maybe I should take a few of the XDA University courses, learn how to code, and poke around in the apk.

Android Brower Issue-multiple pop up windows

Hey Guys,
I have an issue with some of the browsers available for the android phone.
I would like to access work through my phone via VPN web access. I am sucessfull at this.
When I open my work page, it opens up in a popup window. This is okay too as I allow pop ups under settings.
The issue is, when I click on a case in this pop up window, there is an error thats comes up saying"Cannot open another pop up window, only one pop up window at a time". It is trying to open up my case in another pop up window, which it blocks.
I have used froyo 2.2 on a Nexus one, dell streak, galaxy s tab and motorola droid.
I also used Dolphin HD and Dolphin, with the same results.
I downloaded opera, and there was not even an option for allowing pop ups.
Do you guys have any ideas?
I would like to be able to do my work with out having to lug around a laptop everywhere I go.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

I would love to find out if this is an Android restriction or there are indeed browsers that support multiple pop ups (or can be tweaked to do so). There are some legit websites that actually rely on pop ups for various purposes (chat rooms for example). Old fashioned and annoying yes, but why punish the end users for it?
Darn, I have the same issue on my HTC EVO. My work website uses pop-ups, but I can't open the link on the pop-up that uses another pop-up! All legitimate pop-ups, not ad-ware. There must be a way to allow trusted sites or something.
Is there a solution to this issue??
Has anyone found an answer/fix to this issue? It is definitely an Android issue b/c I have the new HTC Sensation running Android Gingerbread 2.3, and everyone I know w/ an Android phone from 2 years ago to present has had this same issue....we can not open more than 1 popup window at a time. Like all have posted in this thread, I'm trying to access a number of different applications within my job's website (SWAlife - website for Southwest Airlines employees but specifically for flight attendants to change/trade their trips) and it relies on opening popups within popups but it just doesn't work w/ Android devices.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin, Opera mini, Skyfire, rotating the phone horizontally, keeping the setting in Landscape only mode while browsing, and of course, allowing Popups in the browser settings. I also need the browser to allow double-clicks to be just that - a double-click.....not a zoom in and out function.
Please, can someone tell me if there is a fix somewhere to this problem??? I'm interested in buying the new Samsung Galaxy S II but refuse to if I'm not able to access all elements of my job's website. Oh, and someone made a SWAlife app that's accessible with iPhone only (works perfectly & allows popups to open within popups) but I HATE to have to buy an iPhone just b/c of this app. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
You know the SWAlife app is in the Android market too, but you will not be able to check the overtime call out list, not built in to the app yet, same with from iPhone app.

Yea, I've used the Android SWAlife app for some time but it only employees to make non-rev listings, provides company news and operational updates. No Crew Web Access or FA scheduling. In otherwords, this app is pretty useless :-( The one for iPhone, however, is EXACTLY what we need for Android. It allows pilots and FAs to manipulate their schedules in CWA (Inflight Crew Web Access)....it looks identical to what's in SWAlife on the web and functions just as if you were on a PC. Are you aware of another app in the Market that I might be missing that allows that? Thanks for your help!

I know this is an old problem, but try xScope browser in the market. I needed to be able to open more than one popup window and the website I was trying and failing to access with about 10 other browsers would not work until I tried this one.
I have the same problem. Your tip sounds good. I will give this browser a try. I hope that the search has an end.
This browser works for my sites where I need more than one pop-up. Thanks for the valuable information.

Update the browser bookmarks?

I've been running the Team EOS Nightlies on a 4G Xoom since they started pushing them out and the only thing that really bugs me is that the browser bookmarks show up as a blank Icon until I visit the site.
Does anyone know if there is a program that will fetch the thumbnail and insert the text under the icon? It's a real PITA to guess what bookmark I'm clicking and then have to go through all of them until I find the one I'm looking for.
If it matters I use the Google backup as well as the chrome sync with the browser on the desktop computer.
Thanks for any help with this.

I've wondered the same thing but unfortunately haven't found a solution..

Glad I'm not the only one.
I thought maybe it was just me. I noticed a long press on them brings up the menu which states at the top the url it is pointing to. One of the biggest things I guess is my fault is that in chrome on the desktop I use the bookmarks bar and remove the names in that folder so I only have icons in the bar. That's my most used ones but in the android browser it doesn't refresh the image so it gets confusing.
Another thought I just had is it would be nice to opt to use the favicon method in the Android bookmarks instead of the page thumbnail.
I'm interested in finding a solution to this too.

Floating Browser

Hi guys, this is my first android Browser, please if you want to help me install it and tell me what i can modify. Thank you!

Floating Browser is a very quick,light and simple browser. If you are looking for an innovative and easy-to-use browser then you made the right choice. Floating Browser allows you to create up to ten windows which you will be able to resize, move and use them independently. Playing a video on youtube while you are leaving a comment on facebook, at the same time, has never been easier!
sounds good, but google play link is disabled.

Which Android Tabbed Browser?

I'm looking for a new browser but cannot find anything I can get along with
I have used Dolphin for years but have had enough of the Speed Dial screen on any new tabs and having to press the home shortcut to get to my homepage
What I am looking for is a tabbed browser, like Dolphin, that automatically defaults to the homepage saved. I do not want to be looking at dashboards and speed dials that developers seem to think we want. I want it to load my homepage not anything else, just my homepage
I have tried several browsers over the last few days and nothing that I have found can be set how I want to use it. The closest I have found is Naked Browser but this still doesn't default to my saved homepage. I have emailed the developer and also commented on their thread on here but no reply as of starting this thread
Any recommendations on a browser that would meet my requirements?
So you're saying that you want to see a specific page when opening a new tab? I think browsers like chrome,have the option to change default homepage to any page you wanted.

New tab defaulting to homepage works fine on Chrome but Chrome does not have proper tabbed browsing like Dolphin or Naked Browser

Question How to disable Built in PDF viewer

Hi,
On my S22 Ultra when I am using either Chrome or Opera and click on a web link that contains a pdf the phone will:
Automatically open the PDF in the browser
Proceed to lag for 30 seconds
Tell me the app (either Chrome or Opera) is not responding
Fix itself and go on as if nothing happened
My question is:
How do I restore the question prompt "Would like to: Download, Open the file"
I would like to download the files and look at them with the Adobe Acrobat Reader
This is horrible. I specifically purchased this phone for work and I often need to look up equipment specifications from their respective manufacturer's websites.
So every time now I need to look at a PDF its a whole ordeal.
Please help!
Thanks
Have you installed Adobe reader? Install it if not that will allow you to chose actions

Thanks for the reply!
I have Adobe installed and have Installed / Uninstalled it a few times to try and maybe trigger a change in the behavior, to no avail.
Unfortunately default apps doesn't seem to be the issue I am having.
I will try to describe the problem more clearly:
Lets say I go to a website that sells electronic equipment.
I find the specific equipment I am interested in.
Click on "PDF Specifications sheet"
My Opera or Chrome browsers proceed to immediately open the PDF file in a tab.
That renders the browser unusable for about 30 seconds while its trying to load the PDF basically bricking my phone because I have to wait for the PDF to load to be able to navigate to "Download PDF" so I can later view it in my adobe app.
(don't know what the behavior is with the samsung browser since I am not interested in using it)
I understand the issue. The article covers what to do, look towards the 2nd part of the article

Apologize, was on a work call so I forgot to mention I followed the default app steps a few times.
I reset all default app settings.
So it doesn't seem to be a default app issue.
The android system does not seem to notice the opening of the PDF file inside the browsers at all.
That leads me to believe this is a browser problem, so I tried finding settings in the browsers themselves, but could not.
I posted a "How to disable the built in PDF view in Opera" question in the Opera Android forums, but nobody has answered for the last 2 days.
This is very frustrating since I believe I can't be the only person with this issue, but I can't find a single trace of info on it on the internet.
Thanks!
I only use Chrome and never had this issue, it always asks what i want to open a PDF with.
Maybe cause I never checked the "use this as default" thing since I use a couple of different methods depending.
Try with Better Open With app to control the default action(s)
