[Q] Which browser for offline viewing of pages? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, it happens many a times that I am at home and push a few links to my phone for later reading in the tube (where there is no net connectivity). These links fully load in my Dolphin Browser HD, and I exit the browser without clearing the history or the cache. But when I open the Browser in the tube, the links start refreshing automatically, and since there is no connectivity, it gives me an error. So I can't access the page which technically should have been there.
Is there any way out? Any browser/addon which supports offline viewing?

I'm fairly sure there is an add on in the market for Dolphin which lets you save pages for offline viewing. I think it's called "Read It Later" or something similar.

Thanks. I already tried Read it Later, and it keeps FC. It is lame and doesn't work at all.

[Q] Google Now and searching

I've exhausted my search efforts on both Google and the Forums and either my search terms are too vague or there simply isn't a thread out there which addresses this issue.
My Google Now on my N7100 is now insisting on redirecting all searches to an external browser, whether it be the Popup Browser, Stock Sammy Browser, or Chrome, depending on which I decide. Every time I do a search with Google Now, it always pops up the chooser. It didn't do this before. I recently uninstalled Chrome and before that searches were always completed inside the Google Search app and then all links would go to whatever default I would choose. Now, it always insists on performing the search through whatever Browser I have chosen as default. I tried reinstalling Chrome, but that didn't make a difference.
Is there anyway to get the Google Now searches back to being performed in the search app, and not forced to an outside browser?

[Q] How come the factory browser is super slow, but all other internet apps are fast?

The "Browser" is retarded slow at connecting to the internet. It's as if I were on dial up even if I'm on WiFi. What gives? Once it connects to a page after literally 2 minutes, then it is somewhat okay. All my other apps that use internet are fast expect the google search app only because it uses the browser to load pages. If I just use FireFox instead as my browswer, its fast as lighting. I love the google app, but there is no way to default it to use Firefox as my default browser. Or can I? How can I get my factory browser to be normal?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hadn't noticed this at all... can you provide additional details?
What ROM (or Android version) are you running?
Have you tried clearing cache/data for the browser app?
You can set any browser as default... Usually when you install a new browser the start using it you will be asked if you want it to be the default. If not, try this:
1) hit Menu then go to Settings > Apps > All
2) Click 'Browser', then click 'Clear Defaults'
3) attempt to open a web link from anywhere- even from within the stock browser. You'll be prompted asking which browser you want to use, and whether you want that browser to become your default.
I'm rooted on the stock ROM. I'm still on the original version too. It looked way too hard to update it. I didn't know how to do what you said until you told me. I got it and cleared everything. The stock one runs better now and I was able change my default browser also! Thanks! It was Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Browser

Chrome - crash to desktop

7.1.2 Pure Nexus.
I've been running this ROM for a couple of months but in the last 48 hours I've been getting a very low success rate typing URL or clicking on links in Chrome.
Often when I try to open a website I get thrown back to the launcher with no error message. Reopening chrome finds that my last page is gone, or my last search is not even in recent searches.
I'm getting the behavior from the persistent search bar, chrome browser and chrome custom tabs.
I've tried rebooting but no change, getting real hard to use the browser or Google search anything and it's not even acknowledging the crash.

Websites not opening in mobile mode and Twitter sites not opening

I am using CM Browser but have also tried Dolphin, Firefox, Chrome etc
Many websites like ndtv.com, economintimes.com and timesofindia.com are not opening in mobile mode, they are opening in desktop mode only. This was never an issue in my old OP3T.
Sometimes some websites suddenly open in mobile mode but most times they open in desktop mode only.
Also twitter pages not opening many times. Getting "Sorry something went wrong" error. Refreshing the page does not help. Was happening in OP3T also but refreshing would solve the issue.
I was using Blokada and have uninstalled it but the problem is not solved.
What is the reason for this and how to solve it.
I generally use a browser which allows shortcuts on it's homepage (Not the Home Screen) and I open the links from there.
