Browser with favicons - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Youtube app & Changing default browser

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

[Q] facebook question

Hi,
A problem I recently have been experiencing with facebook is when I log on now for the full site, it does not show me who is online nor does it show the 'chat' button??? Any ideas as to why this is happening on my Galaxy Tab?
-Thanks
Did I make my question clear? Is there anything that I could clarify?
I'm using Dolphin HD logging in full site and it works fine.
Have you tried the facebook app? It is free and works fine for me.
Which browser are your using? Try Xscope.
Where can I download Dolphin HD or Xscope? What are they? Are they a browser app or something else?
Yes, both are web browsers that can be found in the android market.
Dolphin Browser HD or Dolphin Browser for Pad? Also, are they free downloads?
Pad or Tab? Ipad no, tab yes. They have free & paid vesions.
On the Dolphin Browser HD site, I only see Dolphin HD Browser for Pad. Which part of the site can I download Dolphin HD for Tab?
-Thanks
I honestly cannot see Dolphin Browser HD for Tab? Or am I just confused? Will this solve my issue?

No, but you can try other webkit-based browsers like Dolphin and Dolphin HD. Or Opera Mobile.

[Q] No browser is working with Touchnootered NST

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.

Tried firefox, dolphin, and chrome. Chrome was the only one where I could do searches but it has tons of functionality ripped out ie no tabs and I still haven't figured out how to go back.
Uninstalling is the same as any android device. Go into settings > apps > find chrome > uninstall.
I found a 11.3.0 version of the Dolphin browser with Leanback support here: https://plus.google.com/communities/103510820500984874818/s/dolphin?partnerid=gplp0 Namely, the file named mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser-2.apk in one of the posts. The file installs fine in my rooted Nexus Player and an icon for the Dolphin browsers shows up on the Leanback launcher see pict. The program starts, but the browser is only able to load a couple sites, namely cnn.com and just a couple others see pict. When I try to go to other sites like google.com or facebook.com all I get is a blank page see pict. After entering the URL the Dolphin progress bar moves quickly to the right, but then slows down to a crawl and slowly continues to the right, but never loads the site. The Internet connection is fine, I can load all sites using Chrome browser without a problem, but I'm use to working with Dolphin on Android. Chrome on the Nexus Player does not allow tabs, but Dolphin does. Anyone else testing this Dolphin Leanback browser on their Nexus Player with different results?... I understand that this version appears to be modified specifically for the ADT-1, but given that it loads cnn.com, I can't understand why it won't load other sites.
Has anyone found a newer version of Dolphin with Leanback support?
Btw, to work with this browser you'll need a mouse and keyboard. I'm using a K400r keyboard with a trackpad. The Nexus Player remote does not work. If after the installation you get stuck on ads screens the first time you run it (flipping to a black screen)... click and hold the mouse button and swipe to the left to navigate to the Welcome (Start) screen.
FYI - The problem I was having with Dolphin 1.3.0 with Leanback on my Nexus Player was being caused by the Dolphin Jetpack. I disabled the Jetpack and the problem loading pages went away. I guess I lost the functions provided by the Jetpack (e.g. flash support), but at least I can load pages now.
I hope Google or some third party is working on a web browser that can be used with just the NP remote, Having to "always" go for the keyboard to navigate the web is not convenient. For the small amount of web browsing that I do using the TV bookmarks, up/down - left/right navigation plus access the on-screen keyboard to enter URLs and to fill a couple forms should be enough.
I also have a Logitech Revue (GTV) that came with a neutered version of Chrome. I believe copyright laws were the main reasons why Google did not developed the GTV Chrome browser further. With a couple of hacks it's barely able to play flash videos. Streaming content directly to the big screen has always been something that content owners are reluctant to allow without a fee.
