Yes on this website especially.
Thought I was going crazy. Hopefully they fix the browser issues soon. Wish they would port chrome or chrome os to the xoom.
I downloaded "Adfree" from the market and it disabled ads in browser which made it much smoother... you can also download the host file that was posted here which also blocked ads in apps and the browser.

adFree requires root though, right? it does on phones anyways.

So I'm new to the Samsung Vibrant... and I notice that there is no option in the Web Browser to select mobile websites or Desktop.... is there any way to force the browser to load the Desktop webpage instead of the WAP or mobile...
thanks
no body?
You can try downloading skyfire browser. I believe that has the ability to toggle desktop/mobile.
yea but in other 2.1 devices the option is there in the stock browser.... anyway to add that option...? I do not like third party browsers
I am also curious about this. Is there a way maybe to replace the browser with the one from CM-5.0.8?

It is not in our stock browser, so the only solution would be to add a 3rd party browser. You could always pull a browser from CM5 and push it to your phone.
I bealive there's an addon on dolfin browser

I get this sometimes. Don't know the solution. I am as interested as you to see if one shows up.
i get this every time I'd really like to know if there is a fix for it.
Are yall rooted with Tiamat? The problem occurred after rooting and flashing the kernal.
I have this issue, with all browsers, but only some of the time. I believe I know why, but don't have a solution. When launching the browsers from other apps like twitter, RSS readers, any other app really, sometimes in the multitasking menu the apps that you launched the browser from shows up instead of the browser itself.
I never seem to have this issue when I launch the browser by itself, it shows up in the multitasking menu just fine. Perhaps the launching app replaces the browser in the multitasking menu?
Not sure if others have noticed this or have any evidence to the contrary, might be intermittent, but it seems that every time I want to go back to the browser and its not in the multitasking menu I have launched the browser via another app like twitter or RSS reader.
This also happens sometimes with file managers launcher apps from files in the file system.
Anybody else having this issue? tried both adaway and abp, neither one of them block ads. is there something im missing?
Adaway only works on rooted device with root privileges granted to it. Adblocker Plus, to my knowledge, doesn't work in browsers. For unrooted web browser adblocking, you have to use a browser with an adblocking plug-in like Firefox.
tablets def rooted, tried both. doesnt seem to block website ads like my pc does. weird.
That leaves 2 areas to look at:
1. adblocker configuration and the ever-popular Is It Turned On?
2. the browser you're using
On my rooted Nexus 7 stock 4.2.2, Adaway works swimmingly in Chrome but not in Firefox which needs it's own adblock plug-in. Perhaps Chrome counts as a "system" app while other browsers not using Chrome's rendering do not and, thus, no blockage occurs.
Try Adfree dude. Works nicely here
Find it on XDA.

yeh its weird. Thing is it will block some ads but not others. If I disable it, it blocks more ads then if it was enabled. But if I enable it, it doesnt block as many ads as my desktop browser. That makes no sense. At first I thought it was the hostlist, so I typed in the same hostlist i use on adb for my desktop (easynews) and still get the same results.

tried using naked browser on http://www.readmanga.today/ but still got page redirected/app redirected.
i'll stick to using abp browser... no problems with that browser... no ads, no page redirections
Ghostery is an efficient browser, works well with blocking ads and tracking.

I just use Chrome, and am rarely bothered by ads. There is one notable exception to that... XDA! The ads on here load really slowly and make it a pretty unpleasant browsing experience on my phone (keep hitting the wrong links because of delayed loading of ads causing the page to reposition itself at inopportune moments).
I use Firefox with adblock +. Works fine.
Yes...XDA is a horrid experience with ads. Though has anyone tried the updated built in browser? Apparently it also has a built in ad blocker.

I am going to give it a go, as the update has given it a cleaner, lighter look and added full-screen mode. No status bar when browsing, so you can enjoy all of our beautiful big 5.5" screen! Hopefully the ad blocker is useful and they have made it less of a battery hog!
Update on the ASUS browser - it seems that it has a pop-up blocker built-in, but it doesn't do anything about the in-page ads such as those on this site.

Built in browser still useless.it does not block ads...
I'm on Verizon so no Samsung Internet for me.
I don't really like Chrome (doesn't seem smooth)
What do you recommend?
What's fast, smooth, stable, and easy on battery/resources?
I use chrome, only because I used to use safari. Considering there's no safari on android, chrome offers seamless integration between my mac and S7 Edge.
I'd stick away from Firefox personally, only because of security problems with the browser.

try Chrome Beta - I've always found it less choppy.

I'm on Verizon too, Samsung says they are still working on it but eventually we'll be able to download the Samsung browser from the play store.
I use Chrome Beta as well, I have for a couple years now. I haven't had any problems that I've noticed and I'm quite pleased with the browsing experience on it
Samsung browser with adblock fast. Faster than my desktop PC

In vellamo, the stock one has better score
But i think there's no significance different between the stock one and chrome
crashes....
Chrome (the native one for t mob s7e) CONSTANTLY was crashing....
I moved onto chrome dev...then beta.. all crashed...
So now i switch between adblock browser, and using NO ROOT adblock through fast adblock on the samsung browser... (for anyone that doesnt know, there is a secret menu to turn on adbloxking)
Chrome has become bloated and slow, I use the Samsung browser because is fast and it also supports ad blockers now.
Even if it is not included, can't you just go to apkmirror and download and install it ?
Firefox beta with adblock, smooth and stable so far :good:

Seems pretty fast, too bad you cant open tabs in the background, that's kinda dumb.
I use opera browser, mainly because it has a toolbar at the bottom.

Don't know how you are crashing all the builds of chrome.. But i've always been stuck on Stable Chrome and never seen a crash on Android builds.
Next Browser is beautiful and intuitive, Butterfly is the fastest there is.
I use chrome but it's getting worse and worse and worse. Not sure what google is doing but their apps are just regressing
Opera is a good altrnative, going well here

I guess most people didn't read the OP. I don't want Chrome and can't get Samsung browser
Question. Samsung browser every darn time i open a google drive link. It doesnt download. Just ask me to open it from my account. I jave tried everything and cant download the files. Anyone know how to disable this?
UC browser is a ton smoother and faster then Chrome for me, built in adblocker, built in flash player, just have to disable a few things in its settings as it has some Facebook and other integration it puts into notifications window.
After that, it's really awesome. Completely themable too, and can turn every web site into a black OLED friendly version if you have a play with the theme settings
