Hey guys, I know this is random, but I need to know. You see my brother has Kaspersky Parental Controls on his Nexus 7 and he has to use the stock browser so the internet filter works. He found out if he uses the incognito tab, he can get around it. Is there a way to disable incognito mode on the stock browser(NOT Chrome)? Or is there an older version of the stock browser without incognito?
He cant use any other 3rd party browser either(such as Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc), otherwise the internet filter doesn't work.
Thanks

I hardly think that's an appropriate punishment. Wouldn't she be better off banning him from using it?
An option could be some sort of parental lock requiring a password to open apps, and locking the browser down. That way he'll only have access to other non internet apps. And if the parental controls you're probably paying money for have such a big flaw, then you should be asking for your money back and finding another.
Another option (albeit quite extreme) would be decompliling the browser apk, finding some part of the code that has to do with enabling incognito and having a tinker. This might not work, but it's probably the only way
EDIT: And it's your responsibility as the older sibling to have a chat with him about either hiding what he's doing a lot better, or finding another source. If his mother has caught him then he's doing it wrong

How can I play farmville on my G2? Using web webrowser?
I try but it says it isn't currently available on this device, there is no app so the web is the only way but its also declining the game on browser even with flash.
Is there any browsers I could use that will allow me I already tried dolphin browser and still nothing
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
It's probably recognizing that you're on a mobile device and disabling it. If you download the Dolphin HD browser (from the Market) it has a setting that will allow it to fool the site into thinking you are on a desktop. If that's what your problem is, then this will fix it.
Why you would actually want to play Farmville is another subject all by itself...

Check transparent proxying in orbot,
Select which apps run through it, and it should just work.
The check button on top of orbot, will check to see if you are
Running through Tor.
Ahhh, thanks for the info.
I'm not rooted, so I can't use the transparent proxy option.
Firefox mobile has a proxy add-on that would do the job, but it only works with old versions that I don't want to use.
I guess I'll have to decide how bad I want Orbot to work...

I have adobe 11.1 installed and used dolphin,boat,ocean,and chrome browsers. But whatever I do I can't get live.lifechurch.TV to load like it does on my laptop.

Make sure you have your browser set to desktop and not mobile.
Also chrome isn't compatible with flash so that's out, for boat and dolphin it's under settings and user agent, for ocean I think you can just request desktop site in the menu.

Do you have an AD blocking app? Try reversing the setting and uninstall the app. This should fix it
I really like Dolphin and UC browser but both of them leave stuff running even after you've closed the app. If you look in settings, apps, running apps, you'll find that there are services and processes that are still running long after you've finished using the app. UC browser actually runs even after you've chosen 'quit' from the menu!
Boat browser is far better behaved and so is Chrome but Chrome has no full screen mode and Boat a little clunky to use.
Am I right in thinking that these running processes are using my battery?
I've emailed support for both UC and Dolphin about this and while they're quick to reply about other issues, they are both strangely silent about these running processes..
Can anyone suggest a browser that runs full screen and doesn't pound the battery?

Maybe you can try “lightning browser”, its fast. However, in my own experience, i dont like the little options for me to choose and the full screen mode of it, coz in full screen mode I must scroll to the top and overscroll to bring-out the tabs which is not so convience in my view, but i think you might give a try.
P.S. The free version of this browser supports only 5 tabs and 5 bookmarks, plus version dont have the restriction
pay or g00gle it (seqrch for #APP_NAME apk) to get the plus version

Hmmm, it ran for me at once, but I guess that was cos I was using a custom ROM. Try one with Hybrid settings and compatibility view - Rootbox, PA or PACRom. Or maybe install it on your smartphone, and then try porting it through titanium backup, might work.

You can always get the current version of Naked Browser from the web site here: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
Dolphin had been phoning home all visited URLs to their server, even unencrypted https URLs which is a serious blunder. They're not the only ones pulling crap like this. Most Android browsers are spying on users in some way.
In response to this situation, I made Naked Browser. It will never spy or monitor in any way. There aren't even ads. It does not run on boot, does not phone home data, etc. It is just a web browser. If you use the exit button, it actually exits. If you return to your home screen, it goes to sleep and does not wake up unless you go back to it.

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
It is not widely known but apps can query contact data without requiring the READ_CONTACTS permission in the manifest. Why would a web browser need to read your contact data?
android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
These could potentially be used by the browser to auto-login to Google but they could also be used for really evil purposes.
android.permission.READ_LOGS
Basically no app should have this privilege. All kinds of data can be gathered this way.
Execution of external commands
This is scary because it means the app may be extending its tentacles almost anywhere, especially if you are rooted.
Cipher(AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding)
They're encrypting data, presumably to phone it home. WebView-based browsers do not need to do this as the WebView component handles all encrypted traffic. This is something extra added by this app which may have a legitimate use but may also be phoning home data about users.

I don't follow what you are saying. Any app that stores passwords locally even encrypted with a key is not secure on rooted devices since all they need is the encryption key. My guess is Google does this on purpose since obfuscation would just make people think it is secure without it actually being secure.

(logic dictates that) An app that stores passwords with an encryption key would not make that key easily available to other apps. Maybe im wrong and even encryption stored passwords are easily accessed. Makes me all the more thankful for PDroid.
