Does such a browser exist?
Looking for true text reflow, not that double tap zoom... But where you zoom in manually and it keeps reflowing text to show up on the screen.
-Looking for flash support in the browser with 4.4.x
-Looking for pie controls like the AOSP browser has in the labs section.
Any advice?

Hi, my question concerns the standard Android webkit browser and the possibility to control the representation of opened weblinks, that e.g. contain only a jpg photo, something like that:
link text
I liked to have the possibility that the browser is fits the content width by default to the screen width (before allowing further zooming).
The menu for the browser settings does not show that option and I didn't manage to find something else.
Has anyone an idea how to achieve that browser behavior, aligning opened photos to the screen width?
By the way: the Iris Browser version for Windows Mobile is also webkit based and provides the option 'fit content width by default' and does then the expected. Since both are webkit based I would expect that Android browser could do the same.
Remark: since the webpage with these links is on my own server, I could also adapt the html pages, played a bit with settings for Meta viewport tag and with css settings, but without success, any idea also for that?

Double tapping does the job quite well for me with text, but I don't know how it handles images. Pinch zooming doesnt fit the content to my screen width.

Thx for answering, double tapping may help, but this is not what I want, I like to have the fit to screen just from the start, just when link is opened, without further action. As the old Winmob Iris webkit browser could do... Finally would have to ask the Android developpers...
The GT 7.0 plus is my first Honeycomb (HC) tablet (all my other phones and tabs have Gingerbread (GB)).
Unlike in GB, I notice on my GT7+, text does not reflow in the browser after I zoom in and double-tap (the so-called "manual reflow" method). Instead it just pans out (zooms out) to overview again.
I already googled this and found older posts about Froyo having this problem. I also found new posts from people who just bought the latest Galaxy Tab 2 having the same problem. I wonder if this is a Samsung problem or HC problem.
Yes I have the "Auto fit page" checked in the stock browser. I also tried Dolphin browser (my default browser) which has the same problem.
Try opera

Yes Opera auto text reflow works - but it is not as fast and smooth as the stock browser or Dolphin.
I don't understand why auto text reflow does not work in the stock browser, though there is an option to enable / disable it.
Stock browser reflows the text but only when using the double tap zoom.

Yes I know text reflow with double-tap zoom - but double-tap zoom only zoom to a fixed level.
In my original Galaxy Tab and all other Gingerbread phones and tablets, when I pinch-zoom-in to any random zoom level, then double-tap, text will reflow in that particular level of zoom.
Use boat browser and never look back.
That reflow may not work always, depending on the site, figures or objects.

Just switched from android 2.3 to 4.0
On 2.2 the Internet browser used to auto-wrap text on zoom - so like for this forum i could pinch to zoom and any text would automatically zoom and wrap to screen size (to avoid panning)
Also noticed it would only scroll EITHER up/down OR left/right whcih made it really easy to scroll down a column of text without it wandering all over
On 4.0 it has 2 default browsers (incl Google Chrome) and neither behave like this - I have to either set font size in settings or double-click to zoom the browser but neither will wrap the text so it can be read easily - crap actually
Dunno whether auto-zoom-text-wrapping (Black berry used to call it "columning" text) is an attribute of the OS or browser
So in the first instance I'm just looking for the 2.3 gingerbread browser - so if anyone can give me the name of the browser I'll try and install it thanks

It wouldn't work with ICS most likely anyway. I'd look for a browser on the market with that feature.

The feature about which you are talking about is already there in Opera Mini for Android.

Actually isn't - but did discover sometime later that it is in Opera Mobile (not Mini)
I'm coming from an iPhone and wanted to know if there's a good way to implement a browsers forward and back button by swiping like the Safari browser. I've found an app that works okayish but it's only customization is for the back button and it's global (not just chrome).
Is there a mod out there or rom that supports this feature? I kind of like the iPhone feel but the customization of Android.
You are really asking for a feature of the browser rather than of the OS, so I don't think that a ROM is your solution. The reason you could find a system-wide modification for the "back" button is that "back" is a standard Android navigation feature, and so all apps have to handle this. "Forward" is definitely just a part of the browser's interface, and something it's up to the browser developer to implement, so I don't think there's any generic mod that can provide that for all browsers.
The commonest browser interface uses the back navigation button as the browser's back button, and the forward button can be found by touching the little "3 dots" context menu in the top-right corner (may need to scroll up in the browser to see this, as many hide such elements when you are viewing a page). That's how Chrome works.
I just had a play with the browsers on my phone (I've several), and NB Pro does allow you to set gestures like this (swipe left/right along bottom of screen, or two finger swipes - the need for a specific part of the screen or using two fingers presumably being to distinguish a swipe gesture from side-scrolling on a page that's wider than the screen). Now NB Pro (the paid version of Naked Browser) has a very unflashy user interface: it's designed to be lightweight, not pretty, so may or may not be to your tastes. I've read that UC Browser supports such gestures, but there have been a number of privacy concerns about that one so I've personally never tried it.
Mobile browser Stargon with convenient gestures. Stargon Browser is a lightweight and fast browser that allows you to browse the Internet conveniently with gestures.
The overall UI is easy to use with one hand, and the bottom bar can be changed in size, transparency and icon position.
Some browsers with gestures are very slow and have very hard movements. The Stargon browser introduces a page turning system for a smoother, faster response. This page turning is so convenient that once used it is hard to use other browsers.
There are many features you need to make your browser surfing more convenient.
? Key features
? Gesture - You can swipe through web pages with the swipe function.
? Ad Block - Ad filters help you remove unnecessary ads from your web pages.
? Custom fonts - Users can apply fonts, sizes, and thicknesses to web pages.
? Night mode - Supports high-performance night mode that reduces eye strain.
? Downloader - Built-in downloader that can download image and video and watch it.
? Full screen - Full screen capability to immerse yourself in web pages.
? Capture - There's a web capture feature for full, continuous, and partial screenshots.
?️ Safe Browsing - Safe browsing is possible by blocking dangerous sites in advance.
? Secret mode - You can start secret mode anytime, anywhere without secret tabs.
Translate - Translate web with Google translation system.
Many other functions are also built in.
This browser is still unknown. There are some shortcomings, but if necessary, it is reflected after the review.
I am a browser developer and I hope many of you will use this browser.

I've rated this 4/5 on Android Playstore. I've been looking for a Kiwi Browser replacement. Please look into the open source addon extension made available from Kiwi and implement. Bottom bar navigation would be awesome as well. Keep up the great work, will rate 5/5 once those two suggestions are implemented.
I've got one question and couple of suggestions.
Where do the "Saved Pages" go ? These aren't even accessible from archive in the main menu.
Replace the "Archive" with a proper Download Manager tool.
Replace "Text Editor" tool with an image editor tool that includes marker, eraser & text insertion, like that one in Google Photos or you can check Pure Browser's screenshot editor tool. :good:
