Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great
Force closes for me

Yes the metro one does not allow pug-ins. It will have some small flash support but only from MS themselves and only for selected content. If a site has pug in content it will advise you and direct you to the desktop explorer.
Also you don't have to have it as explorer, if you have chrome you can set that as your default browser and then chrome will be your metro browser etc.
Can we just disable the metro browser!!???
I feel better if my entire browsing is only in one place!!

Yes. Go to internet options. Somewhere in there, there is an option that lets you open IE windows only in desktop.

But what if my default browser is google chrome??
I have enabled the option to open links in desktop IE only. But when default browser is chrome its opening links in metro chrome app. I wonder if I have to switch to IE just for this reason!!!

Unpin chrome, then find the executable for it, and pin that.
The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

yes it just push notification ad. The problem is I don't know which app is doing this, and do not want to root my device. Is there another way to identify ?

Can you upload a screenshot of this notification ad for us? Maybe even a list of your downloaded apps?

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.
I will send you the app list. Thanks.

I tried it but it also couldnt find the notification ad. It did find apps that have bi-app ads but they are numerous.

No it's not rooted.
So I have a reddit app, but sometimes I like to browse the actual website ( I have my reasons )... But when I click on a link it will randomly ask if I want to open the link with my reddit app or the browser. I click browser and check the option that says "always open with browser" which is great, except that a second later it asks me the same question after clicking on a link. Just taking a shot here wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. Very annoying after a while. Unrooted here.
Check your settings privacy yet? Maybe your settings is keeping it from doing what you want like accepting cookies or form data etc. What browser are you using?

Just checked and all that stuff is allowed, I really thought you had it. ... Thank you for the suggestion though!
I have the S7 Edge and have come across this really frustrating issue
I have multiple apps that can open torrent files for example. If I open a magnet link it opens gives me the options for Bittorrent and Utorrent Remote.
If I select Bitorrent, then the next time it will automatically open with this app.
How do I get it to give me the option each time?
Settings>applications>default applications and you can change it from there

Thanks but I don't want to go and reset defaults every time i want it to open with a different app.
Extremely annoying
Yea I try and choose wisely the first time around
I agree, its very annoying that they don't give you a checkbox and you have to choose your "permanent" default every time. Its the first phone I've ever had that has done this.
Seems to be more a kind of bug... something overlooked on Samsungs side
I don't think its Samsung, I believe it's a 6.0 issue. Try the app "better open with" in the playstore and make that your default for every app. That's the workaround I've used on every Android device.
I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.dampro
It can clear your default and bring back the open with dialog. Idk if the lite version can do this.
The app "Better Open With" seems to work well for me.

I just got this phone coming from an LG V10. So far, this automatic defaulting of apps after one time choosing it is highly annoying. I do not want to use Chrome to view all websites, nor do I want XDA to open up all XDA links in the app.
It would be awesome if we were prompted each time we wanted to open something that multiple apps can handle.
