My default browser always fails tobdownload correctly whereas with firefox no problems
Any ideas?
No, but you can try other webkit-based browsers like Dolphin and Dolphin HD. Or Opera Mobile.

Is there a way to change the default browser on the i920?
I've installed Opera 10 and it's so much better, but whenever I click on links in my email, I get directed to the default, pre-installed Opera browser, which is terrible.
Can I change the default brower to Opera 10?
And if possible, how do I uninstall those two stock browsers (Internet explorer and Opera default)?
And is there a Youtube app or something available? I find it annoying how there's no youtube app whatsoever.
Thanks
Ever since the 3.1 update I cannot get the browser to stay in desktop mode. This happens with stock browser or Dolphin. Prior to the update Dolphin worked perfectly in desktop with ESPN, NY Times, BBC, etc. Frustrating. Any ideas or is this just something to live with?
Just one series of crashes and lack of function after another. That's Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Opera won't even load, Skyfire, Boat, Miren. Dolphin Mini comes closest to being stable and allowing me to login to necessary sites (Pubget.com), but I can't see any way of getting pdf docs into a reader. Downloaded Dolphin pdf reader, which only seems to work with Dolphin HD, and the supposed online Google reader solution in Dolphin Mini doesn't work. Pdf is just displayed as though it was a plain text file.
Anyone futzed with these things on the Nook Touch? Has anyone gotten Opera to load? Is there another I haven't tried? Reading pdfs linked to web sites is key for me.
Opera mini worked fine. I am able to download files (any kind, including pdf), but I open the pdf with ezpdf or docstogo pdf reader.
Can you tell me the version of Opera Mini? Maybe an old one? Thanks.
The latest. I always update through market. But I had problem on my own, when looking for the best browser. Opera mini worked the best.
Is there a browser, other than Dolphin, that supports adding bookmarks to the home screen with app size favicons like the stock browser can do? Dolphin is the only one I can find that does it, but that just produces a shortcut to the website in Dolphin as opposed to just a bookmark shortcut.
Try opera . UC browser and Firefox and also chrome support speed dial

Nope. With the latest flash version (11.1.115.81), in desktop mode, the stock browser doesn't play videos at all for me either. In mobile browser mode, youtube videos will play, but not directly in the browser. An external player takes over ( with no option to choose).
Same scenario, but with Dolphin Mini, videos play directly in the browser each time.
Using Hulu, the stock browser and Dolphin Mini both play video clips within the browser window while in mobile mode. It seems to be a made for mobile browsing kind of video player. As soon as switch to desktop mode, both fail to play any videos. The stock browser complains that Adobe flash player isn't installed, while Dolphin Mini receives a system not supported message.
As far as flash content goes (games, ads, banners, etc), the stock browser isn't having any of it (mobile or desktop). It just won't display it.
Dolphin Mini handles banners and advertisements pretty well in both modes. I was also able to get this game to load beyond the play button screen quite a few times, but it crashed right after tapping start on every attempt.
I don't really know what the best methods are to test flash, but from what I'm seeing, we may be SOL for the time being.
Have you guys checked out the latest version of Maxthon browser?
I HATED this browser when i tried it years ago, but they totally re-wrote it and its pretty amazing!
plays flash beautifully as well,
