Not sure how many of you used the stock browser on the N2, but I found that the stock browser with pie control/quick control was freakin great! To my surprise and extreme disappointment it has vanished on the note 3 along with labs! Is anybody using the stock browser and miss that feature? Anyway to enable it somewhere?

Yes. Same here. Very disappointed. AND I cannot get QuickICS browser to work...which used to work fine on my Note 2. QuickICS installs, then when invoked, just give 5 seconds of black screen, then shuts down.
Just like having a NOte 2 again...

Thanks Jodeci, I found that, but it wouldn't bring my bookmarks over... In any case I returned the N3 and went back to the N2.

to get QuickICS working, you need to install the AOSP browser as a system app. Get this from the Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller&hl=en
after AOSP browser is installed, quick browser worked.

I do wish this would work on my Note 3. I can get access to APPS folder in the root, but cannot install..or even copy files to it. Guess I will have to root the phone..was trying to run stock for at least a week or so...anyway, there must be something "different" about the S Verizon Note 3. Also, just downloading and installing this bugger from Play, did not work.

Does a modern html5 site like this http://sammystodos.brandonaaron.net
works on Nexus One or Desire?
It seems that the browser doesn't support standards as much as safari on iPhone..
Chrome is by far the best browser on the market, followed by Opera.
Eventually they will merge everything that desktop's Chrome can do into Android..
But so far - yes, that website works fine, except for editing the fields that you added. I assume that can easily be fixed by tweaking the site itself.
I can confirm that its working on the nexus one with to stock browser.

I tried it on the Desire browser and it looks exactly like yours, but I cannot type. Holding the Menu button to bring up the keyboard doesn't work either.
Checking the checkboxes and using the trash can icon to delete items do work.

How is it better?
It's Fennec, which can do everything Firefox can do, including making use of the desktop addons, and it supports Flash 9.4
This will be an ongoing problem with HTML5.
"how does it look on this browser ??"
This is what people dont get about Flash. You have complete control over how everything looks. You dont have that control in HTML , everything is still browser dependent.
Not saying this cant be ironed out..but the impression that a <video> tag is going to solve HTMLs shortcomings is silly. As it stands the browsers are already divided over codec support.
Hi guys, i wanna take advantage of this thread to now more real-life web browsing issues.
How well works this sites on the N1 or HTC Desire browser? (without adding any ad-hoc apps)
- www.facebook.com (does the chat work?)
- www.google.com/reader
- www.google.com/analytics
- www.youtube.com/html5 (how well run the html5 video)
Can u compare them to a normal web browser or iphone?
so far i have tested this on two different froyo build browsers and they both work
in the address bar type about:useragent theres a couple different things you can change it to
i also have a stock browser that i modified with a bigger apn file and it just seems to work all around better.

And what (if any) differences there are between this and the stock Samsung FroYo browser?
Also, I believe Hulu enforces viewing policy based on information it receives from Flash itself, not based on the browser user agent. Hence, different browsers/UAs shouldn't matter.
I can confirm that the "about:useragent" trick works on Cognition Beta 2.2 v9. Only problem is it doesn't persist if the browser is restarted. Still very useful though.

Still boggles my mind that Samsung manufactures the best screen displays in the industry then dumbs us down to mobile only displays with no ussragent settings option. (the Verizon Charge is the only Samsung device I know of that does have these options).
Manually putting in the useragent options a pain btw, so I've set the best third party option (that equals stocks speed) to do this: boat browser mini.
BUT... BUT...been waiting for this:

You need to root and have ClockWorkMod on your Note to flash those files.
Here is the link on how to root and install CWM5. It's a long read but basicly you download the root programme, the correct modified Kernel file, extract the kernel into the root programme folder (do this 2 times until you get a zip file), then let the programme do the magic (takes 2 mins).

I had the green stock battery icon. but after flashing the 2nd file, the battery icon was replaced with a numerical version.
Thank you.And does it also support the text reflow which is not working properly in the stock browser?,I am using the Opera but relutantly mainly for those two reasons.
I have another reason idon't use the stock browser.
You can't have the buttons that let you adjust the text size to the screen as much as you want.
At first i was convinced that it was a mistake on my part, but no, as hard to believe as it is they dropped something as essential as this, they did.
Could someone post firmware specific browser links?
I am for instance currently on XXKKA.
Yes, reflow would be very nice. I use Dolphin HD but reflow doesn't work there either. Rotating the display triggers text reflow though...

Hmm, my Dolphin HD text flow works great... pull up site in desktop mode, double-tap screen, text reflows to fill screen.
Or else go to More > Settings > Dolphin Settings: Show pinch-zoom button

Course cept you have to repeat that over and over. The if not using this id use boat mini. Text reflow works great... Faster than the others.

why you guys not try firefox? reflow, user agent, plus the powerful adblock plus!
The reflow in stock works once...many third party browsers I can double tap a number of times for continual reflow.
The zoom icon allows continual reflow also but it's not available on stock.
If modded on it'd probably work well.

I use rightware's browser benchmark
http://browsermark.rightware.com/browsermark/index.action
Also use a 10 site download test.
Both corroborate the results. Opera mobile is in the money also.
This is speed of course not features.
Will this work on the new kl3... and do we have to flash both??
I don't think it works on the different build. Someone correct me.
I haven't tried.... went back to boat browser mini.
Give Opera a try. It's the only one that uses hardware acceleration.
Anyone know what happened to the 'Home' button that used to be available from within the Bookmarks section of the Honeycomb stock browser? It's not even available in the Quick Controls. I just want a quick way of getting to my homepage.

Yes, there are any number of workarounds I could use and I could try different browsers but I don't want to! I just want the same simple functionality that was previously available in the stock browser and would now appear to be lost.

Although, hitting the new tab "+" sign is one step less than opening the bookmarks then hitting home making it slightly more simple.
Try ICS browser + on google play, lots of customization.

At least until the Note 5 there was no way of doing it, I don't know if it was added on the latest Samsung browser version but I sincerely doubt it.
The only way I managed something similar was exporting my Chrome Bookmarks to a file then add that file to a folder on the phone and then you must open your File manager (My Files) look for the file and click it, it will open in the browser, once there you save it as a Bookmark. Again, just a workaround, not the solution.
