When I'm on the main g2 q&a forum the page constantly refreshes every few seconds. I can't even look at the page unless I hit the stop button in the browser. This happens on both chrome and Firefox. Doesn't seem to happen on any other Web pages or or forums. Any idea why?
Have you done any xpose mods? I think I had the same issue, energy back to stock, haven't seen it since then.

I had the same issue, being it's XDA's site as it only happens in this site. I am rooted so I installed the AOSP browser from the Play Store and it works great.
I had the same trouble on my Note 2. You can fix it by changing the dropdown in the lower left to XDA 2010, the default is XDA 2013 Beta.
Thanks! The 2010 thing fixed it! I was wondering if there was some issue with my browser or phone! Q

Does anyone else's browser force shut while trying to load random sites and close all your tabs? Mine happens quite frequently and has become rather annoying. Also for some rreason it forgot my pw an usernsme for xda and now it don't ask to save, anyone know how to reinitiate that prompt?
Mine occasionally closes as well. Also, my keyboard entry seems to lag like crazy!
WTF?
Trust me the lag on xda app isn't near as bad as it is on xoomforums.com. hoping a simple software update will fix this.

Thats a good point. I have experienced the odd crash of the browser and frankly the ONLY site I have issues browsing is this site (xda). When the site loads the performance of the browser drops off considerably. If I have additional tabs open (to other sites) the browser will fall over. I wonder what it is about this site (especially scrolling the main page) chokes the browser so much. Again, any other site or combo of sites that I normally troll all work fine, fast, stable.

Try and use a different browser. I'm using firefox and I'm not having any issues at all. To reinitiate setting for browser go to settings applications browser clear cache and set to defaults will get it.

I love mozilla anyway
my browser closes all the ttime. Seems to have picked up lately as well. Almost every time I switch tasks the browser crashes and loses all my open tabs
At first, this wasn't really a problem...over that past day or so, it's crashed several time. Last night I was purposely opening up 3-4 normal tabs (cnn, google, facebook, hopstop). It crashed at least 10 times in about 20-25 mins.
This is getting very annoying. I know can use another browser, but come on, I should be able to use the stock browser.
bump. anyone else have this issue? my browser has crashed on me about 10 times today...and of course had to crash as i was demonstrating the device to some apple fanboys and talking about how much cooler it is
I've had maybe one or two crashes since I've had it, but none in the last two days.
i am having some issues with pages not loading properly and where pdf / imagr download that the page does not a sign the file extension to do not load where they did on I pad. I am confident google will fix soon tho.
Every now and then, when I browse websites, clicking on links yields no response. I then have to exit the browser completely and start afresh. This happens with all the browsers I have tried. The screen itself is still responsive (eg. I can pinch in and out). Does anyone else experience this? And have you found a fix?

By no response, do you mean that tapping the link doesn't even highlight it before doing nothing? I've noticed that sometimes with Dolphin, when I tap on a link, it will briefly highlight before not doing anything, but I can usually long press on the link and choose to open it.
Yes, that's right, the link fails to highlight and there is no action...
Long pressing doesn't help.

Anyone?

Check your screen sensors, I don't have any link tapping issues.
I'm experiencing this too, only in the stock browser (only browser I want to use due to Flash but being forced to use Chrome now). Screen is definitely fine, the page just won't respond and will eventually come up with a force close message saying the page is unresponsive. Any idea on how to get around this would be hugely appreciated
Title says it all, I keep going back and forth, the only annoying part of using Chrome is that when you try to to scroll horizontally it is a little trigger happy to switch tabs/windows.

I use Chrome. I have the occasional tab switching problem you mention but it really doesn't happen often the way I use it. Being able to sync bookmarks, passwords, history, and opening tabs from other devices is invaluable to me.
Firefox Beta and Boat Browser

Is there a way to get a "Forward" button on this thing?

Never used Chrome on a phone before.
I had the forward button on my Xoom tablet on the address bar.
I use dolphin find it the best overall. However some financial sites block transactions on Dolphin but work ok on Chrome. So for those I use Chrome.

Yea, On a TABLET. The ONLY way to obtain a forward button and tabs at the top like a tablet, You would need to wait for CM10 or something for Mutiapp DPI.
You wont be able to do that on STOCK rom..
Chrome and Dolphin here. The only thing I hate about Chrome is the lack of an exit button.

Boat browser is my favorite, better than dolphin IMO, chrome sucks on android.
The stock browser not supporting a permanent desktop-mode is enough to make me look for a replacement though, this is a HUGE letdown for me. Not only that, but the removal of flash content makes the stock browser almost useless to me other than the text preview function.
However, It seems the stock browser is the only one that supports text preview without opening a link (mostly useful for various forums) in addition to smart scroll.
Which would be the best browser that supports flash while not being laggy/bloated with features and also having a permanent desktop mode?
I've found the latest chrome update to be really slow. In comparison, the stock browser loads the same page/pages in double quick time. Am I the only one or is it a general problem across the board?

I also found Chrome to be too sluggish. The browsers with the highest ratings at least based on reviews were Dolphin & Boat. A lot of the reviews on Boat said it was very snappy, very fast and that imo is probably the biggest factor with Flash support and a permanent desktop mode right behind.
been using chrome, but slowly trying to convert myself to the default browser so i can actually use all the gestures that i paid to have on the damn phone
I personally love dolphin with the jetpack installed. Normal browsing, jetpack turned off. When watching flash, jetpack turned on. With that turned on, flash works like dream on this phone. Can watch full episodes of Colbert no problem =)
firefox
Chrome.
Works great.
So people using Chrome. ...does it have flash support?

After my 4.3 update, chrome browser is auto refreshing on the xda pages like every couple seconds.
Anyone else seeing this?
Fix?
Don't have a fix for you but noticed that Firefox on my PC did the same when I had scriptblocker set too strict. Xda kept refreshing when it couldn't get to things like Google api's or ads.

Same here on 4.3stock. Chrome and chrome beta auto refresh. Side-loaded Opera with same result.
Firefox nightly does not auto refresh, but after viewing a few pages here on xda, links become inactive. Boat and Ocean browser's have same issue as Firefox.
All is OK if I don't log in.
Mine is doing the same. It seems better with the Chrome Beta version released today, but it still does it occasionally.
Try switching the xda theme to "XDA 2013 beta - 1024." It did the trick for me :good:

I had the same issue, fixed it by disabling prefetch web pages in chrome settings.
Hope this helps.
Edit - sorry should be preload not prefetch.
Found this thread via google search, but yeah I had this problem too so thanks for the suggestions.
My question is why when browsing the forums, one post will have large enough to read text and the next post will randomly have too small of text. How is this fixed? Currently use Chrome but happens with Firefox too.
can confirm this with boat browser... since update to 4.3 as well, before it was fine.

Hey, has anyone else seen this problem. I have tried Dolphin Browser beta and Chrome on my phone and if I go to XDA forums the page keeps refreshing and does not allow me to navigate through pages. No other sites seem to do this and it doesn't happen on my Galaxy S3.

I have the same problem, chrome, firefox, dolphin, keeps refreshing, but it's only the landing page as I can browse posts if I import the tab from my PC.
