[Discussion] Opera Mobile 10

Added the tag at the start so people didn't think it was available here yet
So I'm sure many people have seen the news

This, along with the new Google Maps navigation, are probably the two things I've always wanted from my phone. I've wanted to ditch the standard, slow, messy default Android browser for so long, and finally it looks like we're getting a decent replacement, albeit, not easily it looks.
I'm really hoping this arrives to the G1, fingers crossed it won't be too tied in to new phones that it won't be portable.
Eagerly awaiting a leak of this one .

Just download the Dolphin Browser from the market, its a fantastic browser and has google bookmark syncing so all you bookmarks will be there if you use Chrome on your pc. it has tabbed browsing and its themeable (if thats a word).

Dolphin is surely great but i really want to give a try to opera too, i used the beta 10 on my previous hd2 and it was really sweet!
Hope to see it soon.
I noticed that dolphin sync with google import the single bookmarks but not the folders, so they are all mixed up, am i doing something wrong?

Firefox Mobile arrives on Android

A new version of the Mozilla Firefox browser for Android has been released, under the company’s “Fennec” codename. As well as browsing, Mozilla have also whipped up a version of Weave to synchronize bookmarks, history, passwords and tabs between the desktop and mobile versions.
There are a couple of issues to bear in mind – this is an pre-alpha release, after all – with the biggest limitation being that the browser currently requires Android 2.0 or above. You’ll also probably need to have an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable device, you can’t open links from other apps in Fennec as yet, and there are bugs that will chomp through your available memory and likely end up forcing you to reboot the phone altogether.
Still, if you want to give it a try then head into your Android phone’s settings, check the option that allows you to install non-Android Market apps, and then head here for the package. Initial feedback seems to be that the UI needs some work, especially when trying to scroll without triggering the browser’s controls.

[HC] Trick to get a tablet browsing experience with stock browser

A lot of the people with Honeycomb on their Nook love the browser (and it's Lab-feature 'Quick Controls'). However, the user agent string displays it capabilities as a phone. Therefore, most websites load as a mobile website or as desktop site when a mobile version is not available.
I found a trick to spoof the useragent as a iPad, with the stock browser. I've read is elsewhere on this forum and found out that it works on a Nook Color with HC too.
Step by step instructions
Open browser
Enter url: 'about:debug' and press enter
Open menu (right top), go to settings > debugging (3rd item)
Press 'UAString' and select 'iPad'
Now for example, go to gmail.com and see the tablet (read: ipad) optimized version of GMail. There are a lot of sites optimized for iPad, so you can have a great tablet experience with this simple trick, without having to switch to alternate browsers like Dolphin HD.

Great tip, thanks! Really works well if you're browsing in landscape.

[Q] Widget or Folder or App to show all Dolphin Bookmarks?

I would like to dedicate one homescreen to show all (or as many as possible) of my Dolphin bookmarks, either with a fullscreen widet, an app that syncs shortcuts on the screen to the bookmarks, or even a folder icon that would open to the bookmarks. So far I have searched in vain. The widgets I have found are not big enough.
Would appreciate any help.

If you use launcher pro plus it has a bookmark widget that is scrollable. LP plus isn't free but it's worth every penny.

i dont know how many bookmarks you have, but I also love LP's swipe gesture to show the widgets when swiping up on Dolphin in the dock. All the LP widgets are awesome

Over the years I grew tired of syncing bookmarks among computers and between different browsers on the same computer (and now the tablet). The ISP includes a bit of disc space for hosting pages as part of the account. I use an editor (jedit.org) with FTP within it to edit very-straight-forward HTML pages directly on the server. Each browser on my cell phone, tablet, and computers has its homepage set to an appropriate page; a mobile sites page for the phone, a "tablet" page for the stuff I use daily. It sounds like a lot of work, but not so. It takes me only a few seconds to open a page to update and resave the page. The pages are quick to load. No more losing bookmarks when something fails or when changing computers. Just an idea as an alternative to looking for a piece of software... hope it helps.

Well, I found a solution, kind of. I switched to the Notion Ink browser, which uses stock bookmarks. (To see how to update the NI browser to the latest version, which fixes a couple of nasty bugs, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832&page=19). Then I got DMarks from the market, to sort the bookmarks automatically. Then I got Live Bookmarks, which shows all the bookmarks on an overlay on your screen. Works great for me.
