So when I click the ads by mistake on some apps, it opens an message to select which browser I will use to open the advertisement link. Then I thought that if there is a browser app that doesn't to anything then if I make that browser app as a default for opening the advertisement, the advertisements wouldn't be any bother to me.
Of course, such browser would be a harm to google advertisements, so i could't find such on the google play store. And so I wondered if there is such browser app developed in xda forums, but could't find such app here with my poor googling skills
Or is it technically impossible to make such browser application? I mean, are there some requirements for an application to be recognized as a browser, so that an browser application that doesn't do anything cannot exist?
If there IS such application, please tell me! :good: thank you

I have been searching for an app for the last 3 days but couldn't find anything that fits:
Requirement:
*simple app for uploading and downloading (any, not only "office" files) to Google Docs, basically something like the Dropbox client but only for Google
* optional automatic sync over wifi
Am I really looking for something that does not (yet) exist?
Someone told me that an app with such functionality is unwanted by Google?!
Greets,
Georg
PS: Sorry if I post this in the wrong section, couldn't find a better one...
Tried Docs by Google?
Yes, I did. But there is no option to download files directly to my device. You can only upload and edit files as far as I know...

Some time ago I was using this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=art.wild.gdocs . It does what you want, I think. In addition it uses oauth and this is a big advantage for me, because I hate to enter my Google password into some apps.
Web browser?
You don't really need a specific app for every website on the internet.

its a ***** trying to navigate GDocs through a browser
How do you use docs on a computer?
dunno if you know this but desktop browsers offer a smoother interface than a mobile browser
Okay on my Rezound running an ICS leak, in the setting section under Apps there is a setting called App Associations.
And in this setting there is something called Web URLS, that lets you set the intent of clicking on web URLS to your browser of choice. Now this setting has the browsers that are installed as choices. But the major problem is that this setting now opens all YouTube links and Play store links with the browser, not the YouTube app or Play Store and doesn't give a choice in the matter.
My question is that is this limited to the Rezound? I don't have these setting choices on my Xoom, but that is running 4.0.0 and I haven't updated it in a while.
Also, how do I get the app to open links? Reseting the default in the app setting for the browser doesn't do anything, it seems as though App Associations takes over for that.
Anybody?
Am I going crazy>?
I don't know the specifics of your phone, but you might try a trick I've used with other apps on other phones (okay, with one app on one phone).
Start off by configuring it to use the youtube player (or whatever site-specific app you want) for web url's. Then launch a link that's not supported by youtube. If you're lucky, it'll come up with a prompt saying 'that's not supported, what app do you want to use instead?'. At that prompt, you'd select the app you want to use for non youtube pages.
Disclaimer: I'm a noob myself with smartphones/tablets, so all of my advice is nothing more than logic-guided guesswork.
Is there any way to fix app association on custom jb roms? Things like opening a file sometimes opening in browser instead of editor or YouTube links opening in browser instead of app.

wouldnt the "clear defaults" function in app manager help?
You go to app manager, choose the default programs that open the chosen links etc and press "clear defaults"
After months I finally found a work around for the HTC app association that is a result of the Apple lawsuit.
As you know HTClinkify caused YouTube Links on FB and the web to open in a browser instead of the app.
I downloaded Android Browser from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
Then went settings>app associations>internet changed it to new Android browser. Also make sure YouTube links are set to YouTube app.
Now when on FB and click a YouTube link it goes to the app. Same thing when I search a YouTube video on Google.
I'm on stock JB 4.1.1 rooted. Let me know if this works for anyone else.
Makes it much faster and better when viewing Youtube videos from Facebook now. Currently, when you open Youtube videos from Facebook app, you have to wait for a web browser to load, and then re-direct you to the Youtube app. All of this is history. This application will allow you to bypass the slow loading of browser and open the Youtube app directly for you!
The application also work with other kind of links posted in Facebook such us Box, Dropbox, Google Play and so on!
To make it run:
- Install FacebookLinks
- In Facebook app, open any youtube video.
- "Complete this action using" dialog is opened, choose Facebook Links, and tap on "Always"
- Choose Youtube from the second Dialog... and Tap Always
Enjoy!
EDIT:
Google Play Link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obteq.sharetoyoutube
The app also allow you to send youtube pages opened in browser to be opened in Youtube app using Share
simple and useful. thanks so much!

Not sure if I understand what do you mean?
If you mean links of other apps like Box, Google Play and so on, then yes, this app allow you to open them directly without opening web browser
This is an absolutely awesome idea and it works without any issue. Thank you!
Most welcome
Amazing!!!! This issue has been a thorn in my side for a while, thanks for creating and sharing this!!

Thanks all
The application fixes all other links in facebook posts, and even the normal web pages will be opened directly in the browser without being redirected from facebook.com
The application also save you from browser full of facebook redirect tabs... which open the Youtube app whenever you opened it!
This app totally need more recognition.

I tried several times but don't work, I think it's the site that didn't enable the function, do you have an idea to force this ? (I searched for an app but didn't find)
I've been looking this up for a while and can't find anything for sure other than making sure stay logged in for purchases is checked in the app. Do other PayPal links from your browser open with the app?

I've the same problem.
I search something with google app and there's a result from amazon.it, when I tap on it, it opens the browser instead of amazon app.
I checked the amazon app in android settings-app-app links and the supported sites are just amazon.de/.co.jp/.co.uk/.com
There isn't amazon.it and that's why it won't open the app.
Surely there's a file somewhere that contains these links. But WHERE???
Please help!
Thanks
