1) Im using a centralised bookmark app called "Bookmark Home"
2) When i click a bookmark, i want to use Android Browser with Wi-Fi
3) When i click a bookmark, i want to use Opera Mini with 3g
Is there any way to set this up without rooting?
I basically want a centralised bookmark app that launches my bookmared websites in opera mini with 3g and browser with wifi.
Anyone got any suggestions?
That sounds like a job for tasker

yes i have just seen those including "steel" and what i am installing with high hopes the firefox/fennec beta!
fennec opens and closes (not force) on its own oh well
Do people not like the stock browser? My votes is for the default web browser since it's the best I've tried so far. Firefox looks promising too.
i dont mind the defualt but i cannot download no files that are .apk even after doing the settings change to allow them. this is why i switched browsers. i really wanted to try this fennec except it doesnt launch...

I like Skyfire and the Desire Browser the best.

LMAO! Wait... don't make me add you to my blocked list!
Have you flagged Allow Unknown Sources in Settings-->Applications?
Doing so default browser should download .apk
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
yes i have but it still dont work but does for other browsers.
1) use Download Crutch for default browser to download anything.
2) Tried default one & Skyfire 2.0. Didn't like Skyfire - jumpy zooms, videos play only partially and can't be navigated (forward/back), etc. Still keeping Skyfire just in case, but using default one.
The only serious quirk of the default browser - lack of proper visual tab interface for selecting between browser windows (you have to switch between windows based only on their titles).
I haven't seen any reason to switch off of the default browser. It has a very Chrome-like feel to it, and has outperformed the other browsers I've tried (Opera and Skyfire so far) by a large margin. I feel like Google did a good job importing a close rendering of their fantastic desktop browser onto the mobile market.
Another solution is:
Install ASTRO FileMenager and flag Enable Download from Browser. You can find this option in Preferences
I've tried all of them and so far XScope has been the only one I use. Love it and always getting better.
So let's make a list:
Native
Opera Mini
Skyfire
Xscope
Dolphin
Steel
Is there any other?
I suggest to copy and paste the list and add him to it so in the end we get a whole list.

Doesn't that only apply for the market?
Pretty sure we'll be able to DL anything in the next CM update which will render all the other browsers (aside from the stock one) useless. At least for me.
And I agree with the above poster that the only quirk are the tabs, or lack of. Add those then we are in business.
On my I9000 I don't know how to browse webpages offline. I'm using the Dolphin Browser HD. I want my phone to prompt me and ask my permission to connect to 3g.
How do I do this?
well, it's not built in, so you'll need an app for that but unfortunately I'm not familiar with such. So you can use some widget to turn on/off APN. search in the market, there are dozens of such widgets.
I use the data-on-demand app, it's free and works just like it should (for the galaxy s) at least.
Is it possible to remove the stock android browser without any problems? I want to use xScope as my only browser and some apps always use the stock browser without asking me which I want to use, and I want that to stop.

Settings-all apps-browser-remove standart settings. (or similar)
Now you will get asked which browser to choose for the app thats calling the browser
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
normally it gives the option of which browser to start if you have more than 1 installed, you can put the tick in remeber selection and set the browser and from then on it will open in your choice, are you saying this doesnt work for ?

Prefer Samsung stock browser over all others as it is the most optimized browser with the device
Chrome isn't fast, efficient or feature-rich, but it still wins over every other browser for me because of the sync feature. I switch phones a lot and not always to Samsung devices, so it has to be Chrome. I also use Chrome on my PC and need to have my tabs and stuff all synced up for the work I do.

The sync is the only feature which currently keeps me using chrome on the PC (already switched back to default on the S6), otherwise the latest Chrome versions are resource hungry and laggy.
Chrome can't be used with a single hand since they made it a point to put the buttons to the farthest places possible. Why put the home button to left-up? Do you have something against people pressing that button?
The default browser however is very user friendly and fast. It's my choice.
chrome got better actually with updates but still not optimized for performance nor for battery life or memory usage.....i still use it for syncing ( bookmarks , passwords etc.. )
I don't use Chrome for one main reason, high battery usage. and I can't use Samsung Browser because I'm on Verizon. I use CM but would like to try another browser out
Javelin is pretty good!

I'm actually blown away by the stock Samsung browser. I was using Dolphin, but the stock browser has built-in adblock, full-page browsing and is faster than any other browser I've used. I honestly couldn't be happier with it.
I use chrome with chromer. Best combo available
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Stock browser with adblock enabled is the best for me at the moment!
I'm on MM btw
Got a question can we sync google with the stock browser ie so I can use all my saved passwords/bookmarks.....?

What keeps me using the stock browser is the fingerprint authentication for passwords for websites. None better.

I think the reason it works so well is that it's dead simple, but everything it has works absolutely perfectly. Full screen, ad-free, blazing fast.
I think I mentioned this in another thread... what keeps me from using Samsung's browser is that it doesn't open new tabs in the background! Completely baffling.

It is, you're right. I actually use Flynx for that, with the Samsung browser as my secondary. It's a perfect combination.
