Duplicate Chrome tabs being launched from search results

If I do a search from the search bar on the homescreen, and then click on a link in the results, it always launches duplicate tabs in Chrome resulting in the same page being loaded twice simultaneously on 2 different tabs.
If I search from within Chrome in the address bar , its fine.
I can't seem to figure out why. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a solution ?

Noticed this as well. I rooted mine, so thought maybe that screwed it up.

I have the same issue and I haven't rooted or modded at all.

same issue here, thought it was just me

I was suffering from the same problem but member 'janedoesmith' has solved it! The solution is this:
When chrome opens up after clicking on a search result from the search bar, you need to click on the blank space surrounding the link to the website. If you click on the actual link, it'll create duplicate tabs.
Here's a link to my original question so that you can give 'janedoesmith' the appropriate thanks.

Yep, this problem annoys me as well.
I expect Google to release a patch soon.

Happening for me recently too.
Hopefully a patch will fix it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer click the white space or descriptions on search results? The workaround no longer works and you can only click the title and tabs still open twice. Wtf Google?

It looks like Google has finally fixed this issue, although descriptions are still not clickable.

Scrapbook

Maybe I'm missing something, but Scrapbook doesn't seem to be working correctly for me. I searched, but could only find info about YouTube not working right, which I already knew how to fix.
I remember, at least I think I remember, a demo of Scrapbook where they would be on a webpage and the would use the S-Pen and circle a portion of the page and it would save it, basically for later reading. When I use it, it basically takes a screenshot inside the circle I draw and only shows that.
Was I wrong in my thoughts about Scrapbook, or am I doing something wrong?

yes whatever you circle on the webpage is shown in the scrapbook, but the web address is listed right above that and you can click it to go back to that webpage...
also how did you get the youtube videos to work???

I believe you can click share on the YouTube video.
Edit: just tried that and it didn't work. Forget I posted lol

You have to remove updates to get YouTube to work like it does in the demonstration. Guess Scrapbook doesn't work with updated YouTube. Hopefully Samsung releases an update that allows it to work properly.

When I share it from the updated Youtube app it dumps it into scrapbook, and is playable from there. I don't know what it looks like in the video yall talk about, but a screen shot of how mine works is attached.

Popup browser? What happened to it from note 2?

Why doesn't the note 3 have the popup browser I just realized that. I use to use that all the time on the note 2. Wonder why they took it off the note 3.

Why would the Note 3 which is supposed to be complete new device from previous models carry over things from the Note 2?
The Note 3 is supposed to be unlike previous devices in both function, apps, and hardware.
There is most likely an APP you can get to do the same thing if you really need it.

Popup browser would of been great on the note 3

I agree. I miss the pop up browser.

I think they just replaced it with Pen Window, so you just draw the box and select the stock browser instead.

Want pop-up browser back here go to galaxynote3root.com and search pop-up browser.

no root needed

Samsung account Customization services

I turned mine off recently ( paused ) and requested a download of the file. I received a notification a few moments ago ( took 3 days ) that the file was downloaded.
Would anyone know how to open this file ?View attachment 4541698View attachment 4541699

I dont think it is suposed to be opened by the user

Try renaming it by deleting the .gz
And btw, Google knows !
But i guess you don't know how or what to search for, it's the file extension you are looking for how to open, .gz, so just type .gz into the Google search box.
And I'll bet, even if you copy/paste the whole file name into Google, you'll eventually get an answer how to open such file.

You didn't copy/paste it, you wrote it yourself. But you didn't even write it correct. I see only one underscore in the original file name, but you put 3.
And if you look closer, even Google gives you suggestions on how to improve your searching.
As i said, Google knows !!
Here's an example of how to use Google...

I dl'd it and disabled samsung notes. Much more robust program.
The only issue is that I had to re-activate samsung notes to take advantage of "screen of memo". It wont work without samsung notes active

What advantages does S-Note have over Samsung Notes?

Good old days, for start you could customize note covers, categories showed like folders (filing trays), you could customize background grid to other versions, like cross layout for maths and etc....
I don't understand why they removed these options.

Which was the one that you could copy and paste live links was it action memo?

Interesting. Thanks!

It's a ashame that they eliminated "photo notes" in the app. I thought it was a pretty handy feature. I tried to sideload it a couple days ago, but it wouldn't allow me.

Is the S note app available for the Note9 in the Galaxy App store or Google App Store? Without .apk etc.

Thank a lot. S note is much better than samsung note.

...and: it syncs to evernote.

Be warned it hogs a sensor usage for some unknown reason.View attachment 4727251

Not to mention that you could sync s note with evernote...there don't appear to be ANY sync capabilities with any 3rd party apps in samsung notes.
