Question split screen issue gmail/chrome - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Question split screen issue gmail/chrome - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

I normally open gmail and chrome in split screen
I click on a link in gmail, it opens in chrome, delete email, move to next, click link, opens in chrome.
Then when done, close gmail and continue browsing chrome
Now when I click a link in gmail, it opens another chrome window in its place
So click a link:
chrome window that I opened remains as is
gmail closes itself and in its place another chrome window opens
if i have gmail in full screen,clicking a link will open it in the chrome window that I had opened previously - not in a new window
This didn't happen prior to android 13/one ui 5
Any help? Its very frustrating.
Thank you

[How To] Export Bookmarks from chrome to Dolphin

The objective of this thread is to be able to get the chrome bookmarks (desktop) into the dolphin hd browser (on the device).
I know that there are already apps that do that (syncing process). But, although they are not all paid, none of them really did what i was expecting and was a hole lot of trouble.
What were going to be doing is to "pass" the hole chrome bookmarks into the dolphin hd.
Theres no auto-sync function. Hell...actually theres no sync at all...its kind of a weird solution to be able to export the bookmarks.
so let me start by saying that the "idea" on how to do this came from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459360
in there, user wifesabitch exported the bookmarks (.html) and then transfer it to the boat browser in the phone and restore the bookmarks.
So, i took the same idea, but with my mind set in the dolphin browser.
First you have to export your bookmarks in your chrome.
1- Open chrome
Then do ---> Customize & Control (the tool logo on the upper right corner) ---> Bookmarks ----> Bookmark Manager
In Bookmark Manager go to Organize and click on the option "Export Bookmarks to HTML File"
Choose a path, name, and accept.
Ok. So now we have our hole collection of bookmarks in our nice little desktop...now what?
2- Go to your android. Open dolphin, and go search for the add-on (you can do that from the same browser) called Bookmarks to SD. Install it.
Great!. were almost there....
Now, using any file explorer, you can go to "SD/TunnyBrowser" (the dolphin folder) and youll see a new folder created there...called ...."Bookmarks". (really original...)
3- connect the android to your desktop. and copy the .html file from chrome inside that folder (SD/TunnyBrowser/Bookmarks)
4- open the newly installed add-on / app / whatever you wanna call it... (Bookmark to SD)
And youll have a few options. Go to Import. then mark in "dolphin browser" and click import.
It will ask you wich file you wanna import (you can have different ones). Choose one. and accept.
5-There you go!. you can go and check all your chrome bookmarks but within the dolphin browser.
Doas this mean that i have to do the same $"$"#$"#"#$#&T#%$&% process all over again everytime i wanna sync?
Yes. :S
Do you feel funny having to do all this mess for a simple little thing like importing bookmarks. And yet, there are ppl who can program NASA stuff?
Yes. :S
But. Hey..it is what it is.
If this help you guys, Awesome. I know that this is probably a really dumb stuff for this forum, but, i reallllllly search and could not find anything, so may be some of you can feel good having a nice simple way to do that.
I know it was good enough for me
Have Fun.

You know it REALLY burns me up that Dolphin cant have a "import bookmarks from file" option. If they really want to be taken seriously as a web browser, then they need this option.
Hell I bet internet explorer 2.0 had it, but in 2012 we still need to jump through all these hoops just to import some goddamn bookmarks.
(yes I am angry)

So here's what I do. Manual but less steps, perhaps. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.
I export my bookmarks from Chrome.
Upload the file to Dropbox.
Set the Dolphin HD home page to the Dropbox file.
When I want to update the bookmarks file, all I have to do is repeat the first two steps above. I'm running on a Mac and use a utility called Hazel that basically all I have to do is create the export and Hazel does the rest for me. Basically takse all of 15 seconds form to update the file on Dropbox.
Now when I hit the 'Home' button, I see a web page with all my links.
Hope this helps provide another way to accomplish the same thing that may be better suited to others.

I finde another solution. Just imported my Firefox bookmarks as .html file. Copied it to my phone. Opened it with Dolphin. It opens it as a list. And I added that listed page as bookmark.

Thanks! Half works for me, I had installed "Bookmarks to SD" previously but it was just throwing up a whole bunch of error. Thanks for the pointer about the "Bookmarks" directory with the "Tunnybrowser" directory.
Still, after churning for a while, I got a page saying "ERROR", nothing else. This is one nasty piece of work in my book. And the fact that in this day and age, you can't sync bookmarks between browsers? The alternatives are $ based subscription service like XMarks and CMarks?
Sorry for my rant.

Not working for me on GS3 JB rooted
Thanks to the OP for getting this going.
I tried the first post directions, but checked for the 'Booksmarks' folder in TunnyBrowser, but it was not there after installing the 'Bookmarks to SD' add-on for Dolphin.
I'm not sure if something has changed with Dolphin or the Add-On since the original post, but wondering why I don't see the 'Bookmarks' folder in sdcard/TunnyBrowser
I even created the Bookmarks folder and pasted an exported Chrome .html file in it, but 'Bookmarks to SD' will not find/see it.
Anyone else have this issue? workarounds?

Try Dolphin Connect from Chrome Web Store. I just started using this, and my bookmarks are totally synced now between Chrome and Dolphin.

I confirm : it works fine !
I have deleted "chrome" which is a verry nice browser, but too "big" (>65Mo and not movable to Internal SD nor External SD)

Perfect Solution!

Yes I am.
Have spent far too much time trying to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin without success
The sync between Chrome and Dolphin seems to be working okay.
Even have a Chrome bookmark folder showing in the Dolphin bookmarks list.
Inside are 3 files, Bookmarks Bar, Mobile Bookmarks and Other Bookmarks.
Only problem is, they are all empty.

Hi Rob,
I did download the Dolphin Beta version from the Play Store yesterday. But having exactly the same result, except there are no Chrome folders showing.Not certain what build this Beta is, as I can find no number anywhere. However flash has been disabled and it won't allow to be enabled.
The desktop Chrome is showing a link with Dolphin and even tells me how many bookmarks have been sent along with history.
Dolphin tells me it syncs okay and the download was successful. However, I cannot find the sent bookmarks anywhere in Dolphin,
I can receive a current Chrome desktop page that has been sent to Dolphin.
So, could try your source of Beta if you have the link please.
Thanks, Mike

Problem with downloaded file saving

Hello guys!
I've recently started having problems with downloading pictures from internet.
When a picture is downloaded, it's saved to my download folder, but is not displayed in my stock gallery app, until I restart my phone. This goes for Chrome and Chrome Beta. It does work good with the stock web browser. Also when trying to open them from the notifications menu (which shows when the image is downloaded), it displays a blank image (as if the file is not available)
It dors work and files are isntantly shown in QuickPic app.
PDF downloads are also a problem. When I open a PDF file in my web browser and hit download, it actually just opens it in my PDF Viewer and does not download it. This goes for the Chrome and Chrome Beta. The download button works fine in Mozilla and Stock Web Browser.
I've tried to troubleshoot myself by deleting .nomedia files, clearing data from Gallery, Media Storage, Reinstalling chrome, but nothing helps.
Edit: I'm using LG G4 and a custom ROM Genisys 3.7
Thanks for any help

Google Chrome Android not storing last bookmarks page on one device

Hi guys,
I started using Chrome some years back on my desktop system. There I have all my bookmarks arranged as folders inside my bookmarks bar.
So far so good. Now on Chrome Android these bookmarks show up as desktop bookmarks in a folder "bookmarks bar".
I have two Android devices:
Nexus 6 --> Everything is fine, I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen Chrome it opens the last bookmark page I used - fine.
Sony Z3 Tablet Compact --> I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen it ALWAYS opens some stupid list of all bookmarks, unsorted, one huge list. I always have to navigate manually back to desktop bookmark bar bookmarks, every time I restart the browser. This is really annoying.
Uninstalled Chrome, cleared data and cache, but all to no avail.
Anybody any idea on how to fix this? Must be sth do do with Sony's ROM as all the other phones and tablets I have and had do not have that problem.
Thanks,
terry

Chrome opening links as default browser in Pie

On my NexS Global I have Opera set as my default browser but when I click a link in WhatsApp, for example, it opens in Chrome. I've gone into Chrome settings but can't find anything to disable it. I've also gone into the app in system settings but the default section is greyed out.
This started when I installed Chrome Beta last week so I uninstalled and went back to the regular version. The only way to stop it is by going into the default settings, selecting another browser and then selecting Opera again. But once I open Chrome for anything it takes over again. I need help guys. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Google search bar widget, I constantly lose my current web page

So if I navigate to a Web page using the Google search bar widget, and I'm writing a message into some random web sites contact page, I'll get like half way through writing some intricate message, and navigate away to go retrieve some needed info, and if I end up entering a new search inquiry into the Google search bar widget, get the needed info, and then return to the page where I was typing the message,
To my dismay, I immediately become extremely irked to discover that page I was on is now gone.
Of course I know how to access the recent pages list and navigate back to that web page, but of course that intricate message I was typing is now gone...
On the other hand, if I was doing the same task completely using the Google Chrome app itself, I am sufficiently aware that navigating away from a page will cause me to lose anything on that page, so I of course make sure to open a new tab and do my search there, and then return to the other tab to complete the text fields successfully.
However when I'm doing this when I have originally accessed the page from the Google search bar widget, and then initiate a new search from the widget, that page then is instantly lost.
Is there any way to enable a history with any text entered into forms saved for a certain period of time?
Or any way to force the Google search bar to initiate the search using the Chrome app in a NEW tab..?
I'm aware of the "open in chrome" option within the Google app, but this issue generally happens when I forget or don't realize I'm in the Google app, and then get totally f*d
This is already a long enough post, but hopefully you can follow my run on sentence structure and understand what I'm trying to ask.
Am I the only one who experiences this issue? Surely not right?
If anyone has a solution to this problem please share

Im super excited to say I think I answered my own question.
Open the Google app. (Not the Chrome app, but the Google app)
Click your account icon bubble(top right)
Click settings
Click general
Locate option "open web pages in the app"
Unselect/disable that option
Now when u initiate a web search with the Google search bar widget, as soon as you Click a link to any website, it will open as a new tab in your default web browser
Update:
Yes this definitely works perfectly, and if youre reading this and your name is Google,
I would highly recommend this be disabled by default..
what would be the reasoning for this being enabled by default?
I've been getting fked by that setting on AT LEAST a weekly basis for YEARS!
Woo hoo
