I'm running the CM9 build and chrome beta only appears in phone interface.
Anybody aware if there's perhaps a line in build.prop I can edit to force chrome beta to run the tablet interface?
Thanks!
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515900, but for me force closes when I'm trying to open settings. Please check it.
(I'm on latest build by HumerOS)

Where can I get this for my gtab? I don't see it in the market.
It won't be in the Market for a long time.
Side load it from this page:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#ARMv7
Beta05pre is the current version. I like it quite a lot so far.

It was in the market for me this morning. I am running Vegan 5.1. I am actually running the Pre beta 5 from the website though.
Note that the link is to the Nightly builds. Don't be surprised if you get an update notice immediately.
I'd recommend adding a shortcut to your GTab desktop for that link or use DropBox and a computer to download and sync it with your tablet instead of using the updater, as I've been unable to get that working properly.
I found it in the market yesterday. Seems pretty slow, and I haven't found a way to keep it from using mobile sites. Most browsers have a way to change the user agent. Haven't found it.
The version in the market is older and much slower. The version in that link has many speed improvements.
There is an add on that well let you spoof the browser also.
I am posting from it right now in fact.
Im using the nightly build, everything is fast. The sync feature is nice too.
Only bad thing is you can't tell it your using a tablet, so it chooses the mobile site a lot instead of the full sites.
I've had good luck with the beta FireFox provided by the link. Flash does not work though. The flash player (beta) only seems to work with the stock web browser. Everything else (FF,Opera,Dolphin) crash or do not display correctly. It's not really smooth in restarting, it has to force close if it's been open for some reason. I have not found a way of setting the default to open with other browsers installed. A pop-up with all installed keeps coming up to open. Default browser settings are grayed out in the control panel.
Anyone have a working firefox apk for autonooter. I tried to install an apk i found but it didn't install and actually created an issue with my Application pop up screen.
not answering to your question but i tryed FF4 on nookie froyo and it's not very good.. Keep Opera mobile if you can use it, or Miren browser if opera is not 2.1 compatible..
I just want to install it to hopefully fix the bug that is occuring when I scroll on the app screen. It kicks me out everytime to home.
I found Firefox 4 mobile to be very buggy still. The sync doesn't really work, you can't get onto sites with a username and password, and it's slow. They did do an update in the last few days though, so maybe things got a bit better.
I've been messing around with it, firefox 4, for a couple hours today. I've had no issues with the sync option, I actually really like it. being able to sync my laptop's tabs to the nook is a worthwhile feature IMO. however, I really like dolphin HD. Enough so, that I doubt I'll switch.

Why haven't you tried the android market? They have a working one available, and yes opera seems better for the nook color!
I flashed my first rom successfully yesterday, serendipity 6.4. Everything's great except 2 things so far; 1. my default browser doesn't work, my skyfire works but I liked the default best. 2. I added email thru the kitchen but every time I open it it force closes. Any suggestions?
How is the default browser functioning incorrectly? Need a little more detail than that to help.
"Web page not available" is what comes up whenever I open the default browser or google search. My skyfire browser works so I assume any other browser I get would work. But I really liked that one. It's like not connected to my internet. It might be a setting that I can't find, idk. I should see if it works on wifi maybe. Only my only wifi connection is myself...

The standard thread question...
I didn't see any prior topics about this. I use the CM9 nightlies.
I've tried the following:
Browser (I haven't really used this much)
Chrome (I get a lot of crashes when I scroll quickly on sites with heavy coding)
Dolphin (Don't like how the address bar disappears when scrolling down)
Dolphin Mini (I like how the address bar stays, but this browser has limited features)
Opera HD (Meh)
Maxthon (Everyone says to use this one. While it's nice, I've found that you can't really open a lot of tabs with this browser without it crashing and/or freezing.)
What do you guys use? What should I try?
It doesn't look like you have tried Firefox, so that might be worth a go. It is a very personal choice, but I have stuck with the ICS browser for most use (also have Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox installed).
Dolphin. It's fast and fullscreen. I would've used Chrome (i like the sync with Google account), but it's laggy and adress bar and tabs are unhideable.
For now, I'm using ICS Browser+.
I have most of the ones mentioned installed, but use ICS Browser+ most of the time.
I've just been using the standard browser. It allows a desktop user agent, supports flash, has tabs and is pretty stable which is all i need.

I think opera mobile its more stable browser
I myself haven't found any reason to switch from the stock browser. I love the quick controls.
I like Dolphin HD for all my Andorid decices. I like having multipe tabs open.
*EDIT*scratch that, after a few days.of ok browsing with Dolphin HD, I can't even get it open without crashing. It's constantly asking me to send an error report. Gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling and see what happens.

The new Firefox is probably the fastest browser on android.
I still use the Firefox Nightlies because I like the gestures for closing tabs.

One thing about Dolphin's address bar disappearing when browsing, you can change the setting so its always showing.

I installed the latest 20120608 CM9 from samiam here : http://android.sphsolutions.net/Encore/Nightlies/CM9/
Everything seems to be working except the default internet browser seems to crash/lockup on just about any website I go to. I end up having to reboot the Nook. Anyone else seeing this? Will a different build fix this?
I also tried Chrome and it does not seem to work at all for me. Chrome application starts but no web pages will load. Doesn't crash/lockup Nook. I think I had tried Chrome the day it was released (using a March 2012 samiam CM9 build) and had same issue.
Thanks!!!
I'm running the latest AOKP and see it as well. Saw it on the CM9 builds too. Frustrating.
