Opera mini app permissions - Security Discussion

Hello, a weird thing just happened to me. While I was surfing on aliexpress website using opera mini, it crashed because I denied permission for camera use. I'm not sure why a browser needs to use camera so I blocked the permission from phone settings, opera runs without a problem, until I surf on aliexpress...why is it trying to shot pictures?

[i9003] cant use opera & firefox broswers only dolphin Hd works

I had installed dolphin hd browser & find it the best accept that the developers missing out the most important feature of importing bookmarks from other browser, hence i wanted to test firefox4 mobile & opera 11.
Both browser are painfully slow & will open a page in 2-3 mins , none of them let me log on my rediffmail account, same slowness on other sites don't know what is making these 2 excellent browser so slow.
Is there a way out or these browsers are so slow (I cant believe that) my guess is that something is clashing between these browser so I closed all of them restarted the phone & tested individually but still the same slowness making them useless, where as dolphin hd works like a charm but its again useless as I cant import my bookmarks organized in folder & sub folder into it.
May be the mobile view is turned on in the dolphin browser, hence it loads faster, and the other other browsers opens the whole pages.
Did you try opera 6 mini?
Mobile view is off on all three browsers yet not working. I hope dolphin hd is not blocking them. Opera mini supports importing nested bookmarks?
I have been using Firefox mobile for several days now and it has been a bit faster than the stock browser for me. If you are worried about conflicts with other browsers try uninstalling them, but I doubt that is it.
Are any other network connections, like to the market or email, also running slowly?

I am on 2g so already slow connection compared to 3g but even then dolphin hd, email market opens up 10-20 sec, but firefox simply refuse to open even in 1 min, it opens may be 3-4 mins which was bothering me hence I downloaded opera & that too is behaving the same way so I am concluding that either something is blocking these 2 added browser bcoz stock browser & dolphin are working fine faster as usual.
Cant figure out what is the issue, I need the bookmark to be imported as they are important part of browsing.
Try out Skyfire 3.0, one the only browser that supports Silverlight.
Opera mini is the Best for Slow Internet connections, or Skyfire on 3G would be my choice..

Discus comments: Can no longer use these with Opera Mobile Browser

I am unable to write in, or even select, the text box. This is only in Opera Mobile. I am sifting if by installing Opera Mini, which I have since removed, I caused this problem. Any advice?
uninstall/reinstall OM? I've never had that issue with either of my phones.
This also happens on skyfire (except Android mode).

[Q] Web Page Not Available

I have a peculiar problem and i guess, from google search results, that many others have similar problem.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S 2 mobile phone.
Of late, the default Browser application on my samsung galaxy s2 just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
I generally use default browser to access the web and this used to work perfectly. Of late it has developed this problem. I then tried Dolphine, Miren, Skyfire and this also did the same!
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well. Only In browser, which was downloaded prior to this problem, works fine.
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files that the default Browser, Dolphin and Skyfire use.
Any ideas?
You can also reach me on [email protected].
Hoping that someone here would be able to resolve this issue.

Always asks to set default browser

I can't find this exact problem on here, so I'm risking posting a thread.
I installed Opera mini and mobile on my sidekick and now it always asks what browser to use when I click on any link (or when I search on google and it redirects). It never remembers if I check the box to set the default. Never ever. After a hundred tries. After deleting the default in the settings. Reboots galore. Nothing. Still asks. It's so annoying I can't stand to use web on the phone at all. At least I no longer even come close to my data cap these days.
In the settings it has the built in Web set the default, and none of the other Opera browsers are set as the default. So it's not got two browsers set, which was my theory at first.
I guess I should delete every third party browser.... any other suggestions?

If you want a good browser with data compression, I've found that UCWebrowser and Ninesky work great. I used to love Opera Mini but then came those damn reboots after the recent updates to the newer versions.

I have the same problem with Dolphin Browser which updates virtually every week and with every update, the "Default Browser" setting needs to be re-selected. One of those quirky Android things. however if it is between updates, it may be an Opera thing.
de-installed opera, crossing fingers

Yes it was in between updates. And yes, opera's updates were annoying me, actually.
I de-installed both operas, then rebooted. Then when I went to a link (whilst already in the default web browser) it then asked about whether it should use Textonly, which is something I'd installed long ago, but it never asked about before on the list of possible browsers.
It seems to be remembering to use just Web now that opera is gone. Thank the goddess! And thanks for your help. The relief I feel really shows how aggravating this had become.

[Q] CromXi browsing problem

Hi there,
I'm new, so I can not post a message in the dev forum yet. So i hope someone can help me out.
I flashed my girlfriends tf300t with CromXi 4.7. Everything works butter smooth, but do not use the disable fsync feature. To risky for me.
The problem I have is with browsing some websites. I will give you 2 urls.
zalando.nl
tablet.hm.com
When broswing to zalando, with the default browser, chrome or dolphin with jetpack, i get the error message "....doublickick.net url not found" in to frames on the main page.
I already removed the ad blocker app, but still no result. On my iPad it shows perfect and I can not figure out what the problem is. On any other android tablet it also works perfectly. So CromXi is blocking doubleclick some how.
When browsing to tablet.hm.com (yes, she likes shopping online) with the dolphin browser and you click for instance man -> schoenen and scroll down, you see the main top bar rebuilding itself. This does not happen with chrome or the default browser.
Dolphin is still the best browser of them all.
The irritating thing with the default browser is that the url bar disappears when you stop scrolling. I can not figure out how to disable this "feature".
I don't want to use chrome, because it's irritatingly slow. Same goes for firefox.
Hope you can help me out.
Solved the problem on tablet.hm.com. It was the Jetpack. After disabling it, the top menu bar stayd while scrolling and didn't rebuild it self.
Leaves the doublick.net block with every browser. Strange problem.....

Maybe try boat browser? Or in dolphin set ipad in browser mode (i dont rremember if it is possible)?
In boat u can set ipad, but it works even in "normal" (mobile) mode.
Boat look similar to chrome

Well the problem is with every browser, not just dolphin. And it is on the tf300.
So when browsing to zalando.nl with Chrome, Dolphin or the default browser on the TF300T with CROMI-X, I see page could not be found with the url ....doubleclick.net. I also have this on othe webpages who uses doubleclick.net.
The same happens when searching in google and clicking an advertisement link in the top of the page. the error shown sais "Page not available. ....googleadservices.com/.....". This is also in chrome, dolphin and the default browser.
I have no idea what the problem is and it looks like its blocking advertisement links.
It's definately not the network, because i don't see the error on a galaxy tab with the stock rom or ipad. I also didn't have this problem with the stock Asus Rom. So it has to be something in Cromi-X.
I already removed the adblocker, but still the problem remains.

SOLVED
Oke, so it's ofcourse my mistake.
What I did was disable the adaway blocker through configuration - apps. I just disabled the app. What i didn't know was that the app changed the hosts file. So after reenabling the app and disabling it through the app itself, it showed my the message to restore the default hosts file.
After a reboot everything works just perfectly!!
