Previously when I am in Gmail & I click on a link from an email, it opened Chrome browser in multi window mode.
Now it closes Gmail & opens Chrome in full screen mode.
To get back to multi mode, I have open the little tab on the side of the screen & pull it back to make it half Gmail /half chrome.
What's going on?
settings/device/multi window make sure "open in multi window view" is marked

It's already enabled.
It works with other apps though.

Hi everyone,
i think thread title says it all...
I already hated this stupid mobile view of websites in my Android smartphone.
Now it sucks even more on my tablet. i want to see webpages in desktop view style. I have found no way to change that in the stock browser.
Only in the Dolphin HD browser I an choose wether I want mobile or desktop views of website. And it even works. But actually I would prefer the stock browser.
Thank you.

Try This:
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter (it will appear that nothing changed).
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
That should make it load the "desktop" versions of websites for you!
any chance of getting this change to stick? It seems that I have to change this every time I start the browser.

You change this once and then the change wil persist
only sticks until you reboot,kind of annoying wish someone could write a script or something to automate this.
Sorry but either will lose setting periodically for no apparent reason. Absolutely needs to be automated.
i would love this too..
Hi,
I just instapp Win 8 cp on my Dell Latitude XT, and it seems to work pretty well.
A stupid thing I did - I removed the tile in the start screen for the immersive/metro IE, on the assumption that it would be easy to put it back, but I have no idea how to do that... Uninstalling ("turn windows features on/off") and reinstalling IE didn't help.
Any tips... ?
Thanks!
Try putting your mouse in the upper right hand corner of your screen to access the hidden sidebar. Click the search icon to access your total apps list. You should see the IE icon. Right click it to bring up your action bar at the bottom of the screen. You can repin the app to the start menu from there.
Hope that helps!

Nope, doesn't show up there. I deleted the tile from the start screen, so then it shouldn't show up there, should it? Accessing searching through applications like this, it isn't different from just typing on the start screen, is it? I have icon there that I created later for the desktop IE, but none for Metro IE (immersive). I do have Firefox as my default browser though, that might complicate things...
Just set IE as default browser and Metro IE will be back.
You can set default program for webpage as the Firefox in "Set Default Program" (by click "Choose defaults for this program" button)
Nope, that didn't work either...
First off, very impressed with the phone, but just trying to figure out this problem; did a bit of a search first and I couldn't find anything concrete so I wanted to see if you guys could replicate it or think of a fix.
When using the default internet browser, if I hit the button in the top right to open a new browser window, it will go into the "window manager" screen. From there if I hit the "add window" button in the top right with a plus sign, it won't do anything. The only way I can open new windows is if I use the menu button on the bottm left. Furthermore, if there are multi windows open and I try to close one, it will give me the "Unfortunately the internet has stopped" message. Same thing happens if I try to back out of the "window manager" screen.
Any thoughts?
dont use the default browser because its terrible
Yeah I figured I'd probably end up using Chrome anyways, just wondering if anybody else is having this problem or if it's a bigger issue with my phone.

Im experiencing the same problem when I try to close windows in the stock browser.
I have no solution for you but hope that by posting this it will draw the attention of someone who has a solution.
And yes, other browsers are probably better but I think ALL stock software should work flawless.
Yes i was have same problem (dont have find this thread) :

Unfortunately its not the good aosp browser we all know and love from 4.3 and earlier. It now uses chromium webview and therefore has all the issues chrome has and some additional bugs since google didn't even attempt to update it to work properly with chromium webview.
I've been using it for a couple of hours, and I'm yet to see any bugs or issues.
It looks to me like the same browser that I was using before KitKat.
Anyway, I take anything over the total garbage that is Chrome.
This works well enough!
Is there an Option to hide the adressbar when scrolling down?
edit: found it
So far it doesn't allow me to save a page, but it syncs my bookmarks.
Those are 2 of the most important features in a browser to me.

Does this app bring to your device the appropriate version of the AOSP browser? That is, 4.4 to 4.4 device, etc.? I'm also wondering if the file that is changed to *.bak is renamed so that it becomes valid once again when the app is uninstalled.
Some pretty serious bugs (which is to be expected):
Turning on the "Quick Settings" lab results in the address bar area glitching out visually, repeating the top of the page (immediately below) where the address bar would be.
Trying to open an Incognito tab simply Force Closes.
?
How to hide adressbar?
Help, please
The behaviour after double tap is abnormal.....
double tap = zoom-in
After double tap zoom-in, if you try to drag up or down(this is the third tap), it still keep zooming in/out
The double tap triggered the "drag to zoom-in/out mode", this case the third tap become drag to zoom (even after ten second after the double tap)
can this behaviour be disabled?

Chrome has the feature too. Though after a double tap if you don't keep your finger down it just releases back to normal. I did experience the same problem you have on CM11 with the AOSP browser and it make's it completely unusable...

Hey everyone,
So this has been bugging me for a while and I need to ask.
When I click on a link in say Reddit or worse Facebook, why can't it just open in the regular old Chrome browser? The same browser that opens when I click on the chrome icon in the app drawer.
When I open a link in Reddit (Relay for Reddit) it opens the page in a stripped down version of chrome it appears. Many features are missing and worse it makes the application in my recents menu show as the browser page not the apps. So if I want to go back to the app and keep the website open in chrome I have to click the menu button, hit open in browser, then go back to the Relay app, then hit the back button to get back to browsing reddit. I'd love it if when I clicked a Reddit link it just opened up as a new tab in Chrome.
Facebook is a whole other mess, it adds one more stripped down useless browser on top of the chrome one. Both are "powered by chrome" I believe... Today I wanted to save a meme I saw on a article posted on facebook. I opened the link, it opens in the facebook powered by google browser, I long press the picture annnnd nothing, I click menu>open in browser, I long press the picture annnnd nothing, I click menu open in browser ONE MORE TIME, it opens in the regular chrome app, I long press the picture and all my option for saving the image are finally there.
Is there any way to fix this? I know I may end up with a ton of useless tabs open, but I'm ok with that.
Well, yes. Mostly that's handled by the app and you can change the settings there. In Relay go to Settings / Behaviour. The top option, web links. Select Open comments and links externally. Any web link (like a TIL post, for example) will open in chrome. You can change them all to that, or just whichever you prefer.
For Facebook, Far right side, the 3-line hamburger menu / APP settings / Links open externally
For Google Search / Google App / Settings / Accounts & Privacy / Open web pages in app. Disable this and pages will load on the external browser.

Thank you so much, guess I should have thought to look there
