first step would be using the search function on these forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28734102&postcount=5 download the apk here...
then just use any browser other than chrome.
alternatively, if you're using youtube website, just go to www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. that will allow your device to use html5 for any webpages that use embedded youtube videos.
Thank you very much guy. I don't know why didn't think about a different browser. Again thank you

I am running FireFox (google Mozilla APK) and Flash APK and using a FireFox addon called 'Full Screen'. It gets rid of the URL part so u can zoom in and get as close to 'full screen'; if u try to use the regular full screen, most of the time the browsers crash.
At first I thought 'Full Screen' sucked b/c of the ratings but its not as bad, actually its pretty good b/c it seems to work perfect for tablet (seems like phones its not so good since smaller screen). Just make sure u know that u have to turn it on thru the menu (no quick hotkey/gesture) and to turn it off to get back URL bar, u hold down on a page till popup comes on asking to turn it off or not. Overall its pretty good on the Nexus 7, only wish is to have a quick gesture/hotkey to turn it on.

Is this still working for you because I tried doing it and despite engaging full screen my Firefox crashes as soon as I enable the flash video by tapping it.

I just installed MX Player from the Store. Copy/Paste the url and it plays. Stupid that Adobe hasn't released a patched version yet.
Google started as a search engine, and todaytheir main priority and focusis still that. Today, it’s known as the father of all the search engines, and Google planned to take their mobilesearch experienceto nextlevel. Introducing Google Handwrite, which allow theuser to search by writing letters with your finger most anywhere on your device display. Like if you don’t wantto type because you just hate it, or you aresomewhere in a crowded street corner, or stuck in a box, then this is your way out for an accurate search. Have a lookon the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyeJXKfAcpc
It’s funnywhen you are on a treadmill and searching for cupcakes, ironic right? Thefeatureisavailable for Android 2.3+ phones and Android 4.0+ tablets, and to activatethis feature, go to Google.com in your mobilebrowser, tap on Settingsand enable “Handwrite” and you aregood to go. Anyway, it’s an amazing addition byGoogle and I am sure people will appreciateit. Tell me what do you thinkabout this feature?

I tried it on my note browser and it is working cool.. I am loving this feature.
If I want to hand-write I usually use Sammy's keyboard and switch to handwrite mode. That way I use it everywhere I want to. I could even use it in Google's search
Thanks. It works in Classic V2 rom too.

The google handwriting feature works great on my Galaxy note stock browser.. just great..
I have begin to use the spen more now along with the LectureNotes app..
is it an app , then pls share the .apk , if its a setting pls elaborate how to enable it
This is just feature inside stock browser
open google search page
select 'setting' near bottom of page
and select 'Enable' in Handwrite
After Enabling It Click on the G button appears on the right bottom corner as shown in video and start typing
Guys it works with Chrome browser as well. Tried firefox, but therr is no option.
What u need to do is
open Google.com
Scroll down and click on Settings ( dont click on your phone menu key).
Under "Handwriting" select enable
Thats it, pretty smart recognition engine compare to samsung keyboard.

Title says it all, I keep going back and forth, the only annoying part of using Chrome is that when you try to to scroll horizontally it is a little trigger happy to switch tabs/windows.

I use Chrome. I have the occasional tab switching problem you mention but it really doesn't happen often the way I use it. Being able to sync bookmarks, passwords, history, and opening tabs from other devices is invaluable to me.
Firefox Beta and Boat Browser

Is there a way to get a "Forward" button on this thing?

Never used Chrome on a phone before.
I had the forward button on my Xoom tablet on the address bar.
I use dolphin find it the best overall. However some financial sites block transactions on Dolphin but work ok on Chrome. So for those I use Chrome.

Yea, On a TABLET. The ONLY way to obtain a forward button and tabs at the top like a tablet, You would need to wait for CM10 or something for Mutiapp DPI.
You wont be able to do that on STOCK rom..
Chrome and Dolphin here. The only thing I hate about Chrome is the lack of an exit button.

Boat browser is my favorite, better than dolphin IMO, chrome sucks on android.
The stock browser not supporting a permanent desktop-mode is enough to make me look for a replacement though, this is a HUGE letdown for me. Not only that, but the removal of flash content makes the stock browser almost useless to me other than the text preview function.
However, It seems the stock browser is the only one that supports text preview without opening a link (mostly useful for various forums) in addition to smart scroll.
Which would be the best browser that supports flash while not being laggy/bloated with features and also having a permanent desktop mode?
I've found the latest chrome update to be really slow. In comparison, the stock browser loads the same page/pages in double quick time. Am I the only one or is it a general problem across the board?

I also found Chrome to be too sluggish. The browsers with the highest ratings at least based on reviews were Dolphin & Boat. A lot of the reviews on Boat said it was very snappy, very fast and that imo is probably the biggest factor with Flash support and a permanent desktop mode right behind.
been using chrome, but slowly trying to convert myself to the default browser so i can actually use all the gestures that i paid to have on the damn phone
I personally love dolphin with the jetpack installed. Normal browsing, jetpack turned off. When watching flash, jetpack turned on. With that turned on, flash works like dream on this phone. Can watch full episodes of Colbert no problem =)
firefox
Chrome.
Works great.
So people using Chrome. ...does it have flash support?

Just downloaded pop-up browser from the Playstore. IMO it's better than Samsung's anyways.

People, are you serius ? Have you ever used the pop-up browser ? In what way the Pen Windows can replace the pop-up browser ? IT CAN'T !!! :crying::crying:
Every Link you have, on Note 2, you can open it with pop-up browser, so it mean that if you are on hangout / facebook / whateveryouwant you can open a link in the pop-browser, so you can follow 2 things at time. Pen Windows can't open link in other app, so it can't replace the pop-up browser !

Just downloaded popup browser from the play store it's quite like the old popup browser but not for me at the moment I uninstalled it.I do not miss the old popup browser the new multitasking is better.But my old phone was a note 1 so maybe popup on 2 was better
pen windows as popup browser
On my Note 1 if I have the browser running in split mode, any link I click in the other half will be opened here. I'd think pen window would act the same.
A Note 3 owner please confirm this:
1. Create a pen window
2. minimize it
3. click on a link in facebook (or whatever app)
4. Does it activate pen window?
if it does, I think pen window will be an improvement for popup browser, which I am also a big fan of on the Note 1.

well is this what you looking for.??
My twitter feed i click on link and open chrome browser in a resizeable /switchable popup !!
( i do not know about facebook,as i don't really use it on my phone )
post edit
second screenshot i clicked on link in my gmail ..same results with blue icon options etc..!!!.
also to be clear i achieve this not by using multi window side bar, but in relevant standalone app itself,clicking on link..etc///( e.g tweetcaster ...gmail...)

It's not the same, it's a workarount !
In that way you need to use multiwindows and you need to open 2 apps and this mean that the apps with links is compatible with multiwindows. With pop-up browser it's not needed (you can also disable multiwindows) and it's more fast and usable on the go.
Click on Link => Open in pop-up browser
Easy, no multiwindows, no more steps, Nothing Else.
You are not convincted ?
Easy Diagram Steps
Note 3 with no pop-up browser
1)Open Multiwindows
2)Drag the Internet app
3)Drag the Compatible App
4)Click on the central blue point and choose the apposite tool
5)Drag and Drop the link on the Internet navigation bar
AMAZING !!! So fast, few steps and .... compatible with all apps ... Ah wait, only with multiwindows compatible app
Note 2 With pop-up browser
1) Open whatever you want app and click the link
2) Choose to open in pop-up browser
Few steps, compatibile with all apps, fastest ..... Don't think i'll use multiwindows to open link instead of a pop-up browser :laugh:
BTW I'll use the app "Browser window", but this a big missing in Note 3
The way I, and I think a lot of people, use pop-up browser is to click on a link in another app (EG: e-mail) and have the browser content display less than full-screen so the original app (EG: e-mail) doesn't lose focus so you can close the browser content and continue where you left off. The N3 does this automatically. At least mine does. This is clicking on an advert link from within an e-mail. I don't have to "open" or "split" anything to get it to behave this way; it just does.
Pen window as popup browser
I mentioned multi window only as an example. My suggestion is to have a pen window browser minimized, and then click on a link in any app.
Is it directed into the pen-window-browser or a full screen browser is started?
I don't yet have an N3 to check it on

So you get the multi-wndow browser behavior out of the box without applying any particular settings? I can't get mine to do it without first firing up the browser in a multi-window.
I've used pop up browser, Pen window is just as good

I have the S7 Edge and have come across this really frustrating issue
I have multiple apps that can open torrent files for example. If I open a magnet link it opens gives me the options for Bittorrent and Utorrent Remote.
If I select Bitorrent, then the next time it will automatically open with this app.
How do I get it to give me the option each time?

Thanks but I don't want to go and reset defaults every time i want it to open with a different app.
Extremely annoying
Yea I try and choose wisely the first time around
I agree, its very annoying that they don't give you a checkbox and you have to choose your "permanent" default every time. Its the first phone I've ever had that has done this.
Seems to be more a kind of bug... something overlooked on Samsungs side
I don't think its Samsung, I believe it's a 6.0 issue. Try the app "better open with" in the playstore and make that your default for every app. That's the workaround I've used on every Android device.
I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.dampro
It can clear your default and bring back the open with dialog. Idk if the lite version can do this.
The app "Better Open With" seems to work well for me.

I just got this phone coming from an LG V10. So far, this automatic defaulting of apps after one time choosing it is highly annoying. I do not want to use Chrome to view all websites, nor do I want XDA to open up all XDA links in the app.
It would be awesome if we were prompted each time we wanted to open something that multiple apps can handle.
