It wouldnt bother me at all if this ad just stayed the same size and didnt expand EVERYTIME you accidentally scroll over it. In case you dont know what im talking about. scroll up to the top of this page or almost any page on xda.
Hmm I have adblock so I don't see ads in general, but are you sure it's a normal ad and you don't have malware going on?
naw its an actual AD. Its not like a pop-up. It looks like a normal AD except everytime you scroll over it it expands for a little then calapses back. Its not that big of a deal, it just annoys me.
I made this post in the off topic forum. It's the only ad that's annoying as ****.

I notice that sometimes android will automatically refresh a web page, one situation that it happens the most is when I am browsing the internet and open a new window from my current page, after browsing the new window and closing it, the original page gets refreshed.
Is there a way to disable this? I dont want it to refresh unless I tell it to, and its really annoying.
I guess the browser simply give up previous page when you open a new window. this is a measure to save memory and increase efficiency. a simple solution is to use a third party broswer like opera mobile.
What's worse is sites that do a perma refresh on a page. The new faceook (non mobile) is an example of that. Totally unuseable with the Android browser
i hate the auto refresh crap. especially if im google reader.
Any news on this?

Except that is SHOWS you the entire page just fine for a second, then refreshes.
Extremely annoying on EDGE especially.
I have no idea how one would go about fixing this, get into the browser code I guess.
I, alas, am no developer, but I'll donate 10 bux toward a developer fixing this, lol.
Ya that auto refresh is terrible, all it does is slow everything down since i only get edge
Most annoying part of android. I hate it to an unmeasurable degree.
I hate opera, as well as any other browser I have seen so far.
I hate this crap too. If someone can hack multi-touch into the browser, surely this can be fixed.
ya come on we need this fixed

This is a caching issue. It has been discussed many times. Use the swapper script if it really is that important to you.
and "we" need to fix this? Yeah, I'm sure you're going to contribute a whole lot.
wow i'm really sorry, i know i can't do **** about it thats why i hope you guys help me i couldn't find a link with the swapper script
so if you could tell me that and how to apply it i would love you
+1 this problem also really bothers me, hopefully someone can put something together.
generic node i'm waiting fofr your help
Search the forums.
thank you so much generic node i owe you one for that
so i searched for g1 swapper script so if i just run that script the webpage won't auto refresh or what
I was thinking while using miren browser that it would make a lot more sense having a browser with the tabs at the bottom...they'd be easier to access naturally while using the phone one handed.
just a thought. in fact I feel the top bar implementation is purely a desktop relic.
thoughts?
Sounds interesting, definitely something i'd take a look at if anything was ever released implementing this.
You mean like X-Scope has. Everything is accessable from the bottom, except the address bar, which I rarely need
Opera mobile has everything on the bottom except the address bar. I used it while on WinMo, and I can say that it's good.
Yeah I am too interested in it.. Just like Safari on iPhone..
I think we can PM or request the Miren browser developer.. Its already a good browser and the developer is also developing the browser so if there are requests regarding feature(s), he might implement them..
We can tell him here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889464&page=3
What do you say guys?
Sounds nice Would be pretty convenient
If anyone is interested in it.. Please atleast do "+1" to my suggestion at the Miren browser 1.2 preview thread.. He might take it if more people are interested.. Currently he seems less interested in this.. :|
Hey All, I've had my TF for about a month now, and while I do love the device. the one thing that is constantly annoying me is in the browser. I have the agent string set to "Desktop" and it displays almost all websites without a problem. The annoying thing is when I open up Facebook and click on a picture someone has posted, it loads the picture up at a large size (almost full screen) with flash, but when I try to scroll to the comments the picture stays up blocking the picture. Has anyone else had this problem or know a workaround for it? The closest that I have come is keeping Dolphin also installed on the TF with the agent string on that set to Phone so I can view without Flash freaking out. Thanks!
Wow over 40 views and no thoughts. Am I the only having this issue, or the only one too dumb to know how to fix it?
sorry i cant offer a solution, but i can agree with what youve described. Picture blows up, and ive noticed the most horrible lag during that time. I try closing the picture and it takes a good 3-4 seconds to close..
havent tried on any other browsers
I have adfree on my rooted a500 with taboonay and villian. When it blocks an ad it displays a little picture of an android. Is there anynway to personalize that picture it displays every time it blocks wn ad? I think the browser actually displays the picture. Ideas....

What ad-blocker are you using?
adfree from the market. Taboonay also has the option, but thus far i have left it off
seems like a lot of people could use a mod like this. seems like itshould be similar toputting in a new boot animation. just find the picture and replace it. any idea where the picture is stored on the system?
my openion
If you are using a add blocker to block in program adds on free or addware apps.Think of it this way if you invented something you would want to get paid.buy the app to turn off the adds. Keep it worth upgrading and supposed by the developer.pay the man for his service.or lady if that might be the case.
Just my openion
give me a break. there are enough ads in this world. we each spend hours a day in direct contact with them. i pay for apps i like. ads or not. but things do run a lot smoother without all that crap. and it would be nice if we could customize it.
Agreed if I pay for a app and it still has a add I will request my money back.
Adds do suck and are killing the net.
Don't get me wrong.
I would rather a app have a expire date then add support verson to try and test.

If ya like it buy it.if not then well obviously try something else
hi there, i recently bought my first android, a nexus 7 and before i started to mess with it, i noticed something cool that i been missing a lot on apple devices: when i clicked small buttons or links in the browser, it zoomed that area so it was easier to choose. SUPER COOL i thought..
ofcourse later i had to root it, change rom to PA, and all the stuff a new android newbie has to, and i didn't really see this little feature anymore, is it something i have to install again, did i loose it when changing from stock rom > PA rom? don't even know what this "feature" is called
any help appreciated

I can't get it to work all the time, but it seems to happen most often on dropdown menu links or where there's a lot of small links close together (like page number links in a long thread on XDA.) I'm still not 100% sure what activates it, but I just loaded this subforum on my Nexus 7 and touched the lag thread title/page number links and it popped up magnified. Same thing for the "Quick Links" dropdown menu at the top of the page. I clicked the menu, then tried to click "Social Groups" and the section of the list I was on became magnified. I think it only happens when there's a certain text density on the screen, because when I zoom in I eventually stop getting the magnification box, but at that point it's really easy to click individual links.

Does Paranoid android use Chrome? It probably doesn't. That very useful feature is a google chrome thing. Here is the Play Store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en
And if at any time android ask's you which browser to open, tap on chrome and tap on "Remember" or something like that.
as there is no other browser on stock on nexus 7 i assume you have been using chrome before. and this feature pops up most likely when you are not zoomed in and navigate through a site where diffrent links are very close together. just to avoid clicking the wrong link of course.
as McMichael96 said, you can just install chrome afterwards when using 4.0+ on your nexus which is quite common obviously haha.
maybe you should also check out the other browsers which are available in the market which also have their unique advantages compared to e.g. chrome.
for once there is Opera Mobile, which renders the text on pages when you zoom in to match the screen width which makes it very easy read without scrolling sideways.
for chrome, the major advantage is, if you are using chrome on other devices as well, that everything is synced.
if using e.g. opera on other devices, syncing is available as well.
there are even more browsers like firefox (which i don't like much) even though favourites and bookmarks are accessable quite nice, dolphin browser which is very popular and have a sleek userinterface, or more.
consider to give them a try... happy to hear your feedback after trying out. cheers.
