I went back to the stock Browser to see how multitouch was after the OTA update, and man, how underwhelming.
The multitouch is pretty much the same as Dolphin of course, but I definitely got used to Dolphin's full screen view. That status bar just sticks out like a HUGE sore thumb in the stock browser now...
Now only that, I love being able to double tap in Dolphin and seeing all the open tabs, instead of having to press Menu... then Windows... Then choose my tab...
Anyone else sticking with Dolphin? I think there's just too many extra features. Now that I've tried it, I can't go back!
I'm actually moving back to stock browser, I didn't realize how slow dolphin was.

Slow how? In zooming, page loading, or something else? They seem the same speed to me...???
Also, the zoom in/out buttons on the stock rom are also really ugly now, since they're not on Dolphin either.
dolphin didn't really impress me. the zoom was never that smooth and I never got used to the gestures didn't seem worth the effort. stock browser always seemed to load quicker. the new zooming seems to format the page better. I think the new pinch is absolutely perfect.
stock all the way, though I could see if you were used to specific features you'd stay with dolphin.
The only advantage Dolphin has now, over the stock browser, is the ability to download Youtube vids. On this gorgeous huge screen, the status bar isn't really as much of an eyesore as it was on the G1.
I see... It does seems a bit smoother to zoom...
Is there a way to remove the zoom buttons and the status bar without being rooted?
If not, is there a way to remove them with root?

Best bet is to contact Loccy. He was able to hack the stock browser on 1.5 and 1.6 to hide the status bar and the zoom buttons.
I like the tab mgmnt. Home page/bookmarks.
Dolphin MT but it also reformats text. Default when you P/Z is iphonish where it doesnt reformat the text.

Page loading. I love the left/right swipe to change tabs on dolphin though, as well as the gestures, but if I'm on my phone, page loading > tabs

double tap right after doing the pinch to zoom, it'll format it without zooming

Oh wow, you're right. I just noticed this.
When you zoom in with pinch/zoom on stock browser, it doesn't reflow text. If you rotate the phone and then rotate back, it DOES reflow the text. And then if you zoom out, it reflows the text. So only zooming *IN* with P/Z is fubar'd. (The zoom in/zoom out buttons reflow text just fine in both directions.)
Is this a "feature" or a bug with P/Z on stock browser???
[Edit]: Actually... It looks like reflow isn't working in Dolphin either until you rotate landscape and back??? Google must have broken something in the OTA??

PM'd. He hasn't posted in more than a month on XDA though. I wonder if he left the Android scene.
I was wondering if there is an app anyone knows about or anything we can do to make browsing a little more enjoyable experience. Not complaining about the current way it's real good. For example 2 fingers swipe left will go to previous browser page and 2 fingers swipe right moves forward a page in your browser. etc.
Anything like this?
Hi
Does anyone know how to use the air view feature for the mouseover function/event in the browser?
You could do it in the Note 2. Here is a demo.
youtube.com/watch?v=vB7ydrYmOmc
It seems that this functionality is being used for magnification instead in the S4 browser. Any way to go backto how it was in the Note 2?
And/or is it possible to have this function in any other browser (chrome, firefox, etc)?
Thanks
So no ideas anyone? Is no one else missing this functionality?
Ive been wondering this never had the note but I thought it would be a good way to use air view.
I have an idea. Would it be possible to extract the Note 2's browser apk and install that on the S4?
You could potentially lose air gestures scroll functionality and eye scroll but get the mouse hover instead which personally seems like a great trade off.
But is something like this possible?
Edit: And maybe this could also get flash working again in the stock browser...?
Is there any way that we can have three finger gesture for s4. I have it on my HTC One and I can easily toggle auto rotate for example anywhere with this gesture
Hello everyone. Is there a way to a standard Web browser zoom by sliding your finger on the side edges of the screen? I have used both in the N7000 as Edge Zoom and I am really missing this method. Maybe some ideas?
Could probably do it with Habit Browser. It's got fully customizable gestures & PIE controls...
