Hello,
I have a wonderful rooted Nook running Eclair and for some reason I am not able to connect to any secured web site using the stock browser, dolphin mini or skyfire, they all force close. I tried yahoo mail ad the market web site for instance. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
JP

We must be the only 2 here with this issue. So frustrating. Hopefully it'll be resolved when I flash some other ROM. Nothing else seems to work on Eclair.
EDIT: I thought I had tried them all, but I missed this excellent browser. Miren works fine with no force closes whatsoever on https.
Am I the only one who just doesn't find any of the other browsers to be worth using?
and before everyone tells me to try Opera, I don't get why everyone likes it.
To me, it looks sloppy and unorganized and I don't see an advantage over webkit.

No, you are not the only one. I used Opera and Dolphin previously, and after flashing multiple ROMs, I find that the stock browser does everything I want and need just as good as Dolphin or Opera.
I've tried several browsers, but the stock browser is just fine for my uses.
Stock is less bloated too.
i'm still waiting for my first android tablet thus cannot provide an answer, but what problem does the stock browser have? I guess it must be pretty good being probably I guess (?) a derivative from google's chrome, or not?
I use dolphin hd because of bookmarks to sd and lastpass plugins.

I have been experimenting with all the others, I just keep going back to the stock browser--It just Works!
I am playing around with Firefox now.
I like the stock browser but the ability to Titanium Backup a 3rd party browser 100% intact with all my bookmarks, settings, saved browsing history, passwords etc if I need to wipe and re-flash Android is extremely helpful.
Along with whatever features using a 3rd party browser brings, this simple ability alone makes it worth it for me to use another browser.
I know you can use Titanium Backup with the Android apps but that it can also cause instability and other issues, so that's why I don't do it.
I mostly favor the stock browser too. I can't stand Opera, it's fast but the text rendering is terrible and the interface is sloppy. I've been using Dolphin Mini over the past few days and so far I'm liking it, but I'm not about to commit to it by removing the stock browser.
Stock does do pretty much everything with no fuss, but I'll say Dolphin Mini's interface is clean and the tabs are nice. I can't afford to give up the screen space for tabs on my phone's 4 inch display, but it's not an issue on the Nook.
I've tried a bunch of other browsers as well, and so far Dolphin Mini is the only contender to replace stock.
Unless I'm missing some setting, I feel like tabbed browsing is very poorly implemented in the stock browser. Its an easy enough fix to add it to the address bar so that you don't have to click through menus.
Opera and Dolphin HD also feel (subjectively) faster to me. Dolphin HD has gestures which is nice...especially the page up and page down.
Being able to jump to the top of a page by taping the top of the screen like in Safari iOS would be nice. Scrolling is kind of a pain in the but on all of the Android browsers I'd tried.
I have Dolphin HD as a secondary browser but I still think stock is so much cleaner.
I use Opera and love it. To be fair, I never really gave the stock one much of a shot because I didn't see an easy way to use tabs (which apparently, there is.)
Opera's UI though is great IMO and it is pretty damn fast. That and syncing with my desktop is nice.
Where is the option for tabs in the stock browser?

I know that.
I meant like actual tabs like desktop browsers or Dolphin?

Nope. The stock browser for Android < 3.0 does not have tabs. Only in Honeycomb.

Didn't think so, someone said something so I had to make sure.
Is there any way to port the Honeycomb browser over by any chance?
i really like opera esp once you set it to desktop user agent....

The stock browser can be set to a number of different user agents, including linux desktop and mac desktop, and ie6 (shudder).

I'm using Mac desktop, liking it personally although most differences are subtle at best.
The stock browser is my favourite too. The rest have all the bells and whistles that I don't need, which clutter up the space. If I need to access more than one website ata time, I just open another window.
Good to know I'm not the only one.
Hello, i don't have a permission to write in threads in developers section so i wanted to ask you this way.
Is anybody having an browser issue on Overcome rom 2.2?
I get FC after starting browser.
no issues here. have you tried another browser like dolphin or opera? You can fix permissions and see if that resolves your issues
Yes i have faced this issue. I just ignored it and used the dolphin HD. I have another problem where clock FC after every reboot
i know that other browsers work, but i wanted to fix the android browser functionallity.
I have tried android browser from other roms, but i'm still getting FC
Which browser you all using? Stock browsing and dolphin also all lag when scrolling.
Now using opera as so far my best browser.
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.
