Samsung Internet Web Browser New Tab - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to change the default page that is loaded when you open a new tab on the Samsung Internet web browser? Every time I open a new tab, it defaults to Google.
I've changed the Settings to change the Homepage but that only changes what is opened when you open a new window.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have the same problem

I've emailed customer support several times and they always reply with instructions to change the homepage. Makes me want to throw my phone at them through the internet.

Try the SamsungInternet Browser Beta, it works just fine.

Explorer and Opera don't show some webpages

I've tried these two browsers but i've some problems with some web pages like mail webpage of my e-mail provider Libero Italy or the itinerary of Viamichelin web page. Pages go ahead but don't charge everything well,making usage impossible.
Thia happens also using Operamini as java applet.
I'm using the new official gps enabled Rom but this happened also with the former Rom.
My old Samsung phone managed java Operamini applet to show everything.
Does somebody know this issue and has a solution?
The good thing about the trinity is to behave like a PC along the street, but without this kind of pages many advantages become lost.
Thaks for replies

Contacts with web links to open in Opera instead of IE?

Dear all,
I've search the forum for an answer but failed so far...
I have Opera set as my default browser. It seems to work for everything (links from google maps search etc...), except for the web links which are in my contacts. They always open in IE...
I've tried to have a go at looking into changing the registry, but my knowledge is quite limited in that field...
I wonder if anyone would be willing to help, give me some direction...
Many thanks in advance...

Native Browser - "Login" problem

Hello
I`ve got a problem with the native browser. I'm able to login on pages like this, where the login part is on the page.
but i'm not able to login on pages like www.googlemail.com ,www.google.de or www.amazon.de
There you must click on a link to get to the login page. Here my browser doesn't load the site, there is you a "lock"-symbol in the address bar
For further informations i have a german t-mobile g1, the problem wasn't there bevor i've installed the browser steel, but it didn't recover when i removed steel
I hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad english ;-)

[Q] Load bookmark without opening Browser

Hi,
Does anyone know of an android widget that will just perform a HTTP GET on a url without opening the browser? (I have a simple RESTful service URL I just want to hit). Ideal would be if the icon and text were customisable, but happy with just a bookmark that does't load the browser..
Cheers,
Craig

Honeycomb Bookmarks Automatically Update on Redirects

Have you noticed your bookmarks getting screwed up when they result in a redirect?
For example, let's say you have a bookmark to a website that has a special mobile version. When you click on that bookmark, the website automatically redirects you to the mobile page. Fine, that's expected behavior (albeit somewhat annoying when you're using a tablet with a nice big screen like this). The problem is, Honeycomb goes and changes the URL in your bookmark to the URL for that mobile site. What's worse is, if you sync your bookmarks with your desktop system, the bookmark gets modified there as well.
The problem has to do with HTTP Response Codes.
The way that some web servers tell your browser to go to a different URL is through the use of HTTP Response Codes in the HTTP Header. Most of you are familiar with the 404 Response Code which means that the content was not found. There are other response codes, though, including 301 and 302.
A 301 response code is used to redirect you to a different URL when the content you're trying to access has permanently moved. It is designed so that browsers and content indexing systems can update their bookmarks and links automatically.
A 302 response code is meant as a temporary redirect. It is used to redirect you to a different URL for a variety of reasons. There's the aforementioned case where the site's User Agent Sniffer has decided that you should be visiting the mobile version of a given page, some web forum software uses it to redirect you to the newest unread message in your subscription list, etc.
The problem is, Honeycomb seems to treat 302 responses as if they were actually 301 responses. This is incorrect behavior.
I have submitted a bug report, Issue 17566: Incorrect handling of HTTP 302 Status Code (Temporary Redirect) and Bookmarks. I would appreciate it if people would "Star" the issue to increase its visibility.
Thanks!
Same problem here. It also rearranges all your bookmarks each time you open one on both your desktop Chrome browser and your tablet which is rather annoying.
I have a similar problem. It is actually changing the URL to another bookmark with a similar URL. For example, I have one bookmark called "Nexus One" pointing to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=556 and another one called "Galaxy Tab" pointing to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1050
Every so often (seems to happen when I launch "Galaxy Tab" from the browser bookmarks widget on the home screen), the "Galaxy Tab" bookmark will be changed to the URL of the "Nexus One" bookmark (the 1050 changes to 556).
Have you seen anything like this?
I have seen that but I haven't investigated it any further.
I had several bookmarks for specific Craigslist searches that all got wiped out. Basically, the URLs for all of them were replaced with just the main Craigslist page.
I also had a bookmark for a thread here on XDA get replaced with a link to the main page.
this is hardly a solution to the problem, but why don't you just change your user agent? that way it won't redirect you to the mobile site. mobile sites usually look horrible on a 10 inch screen anyway

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I used mobile sites merely as an example. I don't actually run into that problem so much. My biggest problem is with certain forums where I have bookmarked their "Check for new posts" link which uses redirects to send me to the next unread message. That essentially becomes useless with a Honeycomb device... enough so that I have been forced to stop syncing my bookmarks.
