Now that we have Chrome to Phone available, I was thinking it would be great to have it be able to communicate in both directions.
Just think of the possibilities:
Your browsing a website while taking a poop. After your done your back at your desktop PC and you tap a single widget on your phone and voila it pops up on your PC.
I know Fennec is going to support this feature but maybe we can have it available to stock browser sooner.
Just throwing out ideas to any app developers browsing right now and if this exists already please let me know!
Go to the Google Code feature request thread for this and give it a star vote.
Great idea but I guess this would take a while until google impelments it..
starred and subscriped.
I was looking for a solution to invert browser colors on my Epic4G. I look forward to a day when Cyanogenmod runs on the epic so I can use the modded browser with "invert colors". Dolphin HD's "Reader" addon was close, but it added padding to the browser on my Epic.
So... i decided maybe a javascript bookmarklet could do what i wanted. turns out, it did.
This has only been tested in the Android 2.3.4 stock browser. To use it, copy the code from the page linked to below into the clipboard and add a new bookmark, pasting the code into the URL box. Give it a name like "Invert Color". Then when you're viewing a page you want to invert, open the bookmarks menu, and click the bookmark.

You still have to click the link for every page you browse to for now, but perhaps somebody knows a better way. I did try to contact Dolphin for info on writing Addons, but it doesn't seem very open. I haven't used firefox mobile too much yet, but maybe there is potential there...
I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, and since it might work on any device with a browser that supports bookmarklets, i put it in general. mods should feel free to move it with my thanks!
Enjoy!
does this work on wp7??

It should work in any modern HTML compliant browser that supports javascript in bookmarks. You'll probably have to copy and paste the javascript into the bookmark and give it a try. Please let us know if it does I tried this weekend in Dolphin HD on Android, and in Mobile Safari on Apple's iPad2 and it works there too.

Glad to hear it works in mango!
Unfortunately i don't know a way to make it permanent, i think the browser would have to allow such plugins to run automatically every time a page loads. (like a greasemonkey script, etc)
If you send a link to a page that wont invert I'll check it out and see if i can fix it. If it has a background image or flash there's not much i can do without removing background images altogether...

just try to make it permanent...like a cookie ect,,
or make an entire new browser and upload to marketplace for free
Tony, thanks for this. It inspired me to think about a more permanent solution using a web filtering proxy. I have proof that it would work, but I don't have the skills to develop this further. Would be great if you could take a look at this and see if you have any thoughts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17960461
Browsers that support web storage could probably do it.
Also the one browser I know wont have a problem making it permanent would be Opera Mobile, because it supports user javascript and css like the desktop browser does.
claimui, great idea, i'll check it out!
yareally, i'm an old opera fan, but haven't fallen in love with the mobile version despite several attempts... gotta love the user js and css though- didn't know you could use them on mobile too!

Yeah, it's not quite as friendly to do as the desktop browser, but you can set the userjs/usercss locations and such in opera.ini and mod whatever you like.
I semi wrote an informal tutorial on it in a thread for opera mobile in the forum area http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=9373312

Pardon me, but this is rediculous! How do you justify accessing your private site for a "bookmarklet" over 90 kb in size running and incorporating parts of several versions of jQuery??
I put it to you that this is spyware! Swapping foreground and background colors is a oneliner in any version of this bookmarklet, doesn't need any external sites, runs much faster and doesn't have privacy issues like this garbage!

I assure you this is not any kind of spyware, read the source, it's all there in plain text... Feel free to provide the one liner bookmarklet you refer to if you are really trying to be helpful, otherwise, move along...
Hi Tony M
Just to repeat it here:
Put the javascript in a gesture activated bookmark in dolphin hd for ease of use.
I also found this gem on css sheets with opera mobile.

I used to have an app that let you pass pages between browsers with intents. Lost it and can't remember the name!
Found it. It is called choose browser.
Pluck the best from each browser.
Hi there,
just wanted to get some feedback on my app. It is actually more a helper than an app, but anyway I think here on XDA I have the best chance of finding people who might have a use for it.
So if you are sometimes annoyed by short-URL's on your phone then take a look at my app, otherwise just walk away
What it does is that when you click on a short-URL (or on a link in Facebook), it gets the destination of that URL and directly sends you to the corresponding app. E.g.: When you are in your Twitter-app and click on a short-URL that links to a YouTube video what would normally happen is that your browser opens up and resolves the short-URL after which the browser would open up the YouTube app. With NoDetour the browser step is skipped. I know, not a big revolution, but for those of us with limited performance not unhandy.
Enough talk, here it is:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.furfm.nodetour
I will check this thread from time to time, so feedback is always appreciated!
I just created a site on UserVoice on which you can vote for features:

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.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out how i can play existing mobile games in a web browser. Instead of the actual game loading on the browser i just want to be able to click on event/mission/quest and it completes it for me. I've taken a few courses in HTML/CSS/JS/PHP and can't seem to figured out the next step. I would really appreciate any feed back.
Thank you!
