So I was browsing for wallpapers on my Gtab and one of the sites prompted me with, ""windows security has found critical process activity on your system and will perform fast scan". I was going to force stop my browser but I accidentally hit "OK" on the popup and it started "scanning" before I could exit out of the browser.
Could this have installed any type of malware? I'm guessing not but I'm pretty paranoid about this kind of stuff.
I dont think
I guess you were using the browser in dekstop mode. Having said so, those virus/malware scan stuff are meant to affect windows computer. So since you were browsing in dekstop mode, it thought that was a computer. Therefore i don't think you should be worry!!!
Yea, I used Dolphin HD in desktop mode since I have the screen real estate. I hope you're right!
Greetings:
My iPhone 4 load yahoo web page in full. When I switch to SGS2, it always default to mobile web page. Is there a way to correct this? I google and look through the phone browser menu but can't find anything. I turn off "open page in overview" and set my home page to Yahoo! to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not in the stock browser without rooting and moding it.
Try dolphin HD or opera mobile, they don't have the gpu acceleration but they are still damn fast and let you set mobile view on or off.

Thank you all for your help.
I install Dolphin HD. I am able to load full web page now.
Chrome is good because it lets me sync all my desktop history/bookmarks/tabs onto it. But it lacks in speed/features compared to other browsers.
I'm using Next browser right now and it's blazing fast compared to chrome. It also has flash capability. But it lacks the ability to sync all my desktop chrome history etc. Also it doesn't block ads with AdBlock plus as well as Chrome does. Looking for a browser that has all of these if possible.

dolphin browser seems to fit the bill for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
dolphin syncs bookmarks and history from both firefox and desktop chrome simultaneously, and it supports flash. i think Boat browser and UC Browser HD have some type of bookmark sync as well with flash. I personally use Dolphin as my daily driver, and UC Browser because it has an inverted text nightmode plus a cool fullscreen widget
BTW Next browser DOES sync with chrome, at least bookmarks
My 2 favorites are the AOSP Browser with built in chromesync (search the store for the installer), and Browser NBPro for it's blazing speed and understated features.
Next Browser
My favorite browser is the Next Browser. It runs fast and stable for me. Also has some extensions and works with a Chrome extension called "Next Sync Plus". My browser of choice even though I tried almost all of them. I say, stick with it.
To clarify a bit more, you need the Chrome extension to sync.
"With Next Browser Sync Plus, you can sync bookmarks directly to your mobile devices in Next Browser."
I'm aware that next browser syncs with chrome. I want something that can also sync my chrome history because I use that more on chrome than my actual bookmarks
Anyway tried out dolphin and its good, but it's basically the same thing as next browser.

it also does sync your open tabs which i dont think Next does
As far as I know only Chrome syncs everything. Don't think there's an Api for things like the open tabs. Like I said, I used almost all the browsers and Next seems to be the best one. The browser with the best compatability is Chrome. Those are both options you're not looking for, but I personally can't find the perfect browser. So I guess I can't be of any help.
For all in one purposes I use the torch browser since it functions as a chromium based browser, but has a bunch of preset extensions for site unblocking and downloading videos and other content.
Boat Browser... and some specs of Mozzilla
general internet i use chrome, sometimes dolphin. for sites that need flash i use firefox. dolphin seems to play only 7 seconds then freezes on some flash videos.
Boat browser.
It's the only one that has everything I need:
Text reflow
Multiwindow ability
Address bar that stays at the top when you scroll down the page
Fast

Yes Boat by far less lag and not so much BS attached. Flash works well with it too.
Boat Browser crashed a lot on my Note.
Is there a browser with an internal flash player, as Adobe's gets less and less useable w/o updates?
Apart from the flash issue, im happy with Dolphin. But on the Note lots of Dolphin's plugins disappear from within the app, once their launcher icons get deleted. They will also not show in the drawer, but are still installed.
Any other browsers (besides Boat) with floating capability? ie. for multiwindow browsing.
Do you use cache to sd setting on boat browser?.l don't see a difference.
Firefox
I use firefox for flash. Been using is since Nexus 7. I still use Chrome for most non-flash browsing.
My vs985 is on CM12 (12-20150221). I first noticed this morning that in the dolphin browser, I cannot click on links to browse to pages. If I do, nothing happens. However I can long click on links to open a menu showing "open in new tab, open in background etc.". I can also click and type in the address bar, but for example when I pull open the dolphin menu, I cannot select anything in the menu! I thought it was just dolphin but weird clicking behavior seems to be happening in other apps. For example in the Amazon app, I can search but cannot click on any products to see details. Firefox seems to work more (I can click on links). This was working fine over the weekend so I am confused. Youtube, Gmail seem to work fine. Could it be some kind of bug that only effects certain types of web displays like that might be behind the scenes in Amazon app and Dolphin? I've searched around but cannot find anything similar reported. I will continue to test....
UPDATE: I thought I had rebooted, but had not, anyway this seems to have fixed.... weird....
I have very little data on my plan and don't use my phone a lot for internet so wondered if it's possible to set my START page to Google, for example.
Every thread I find about Chrome, those settings aren't there any more.
Can't find any for Firefox.
Can't find any for the default browser.
I just want the browser to start up EVERY SINGLE TIME with the blank Google search page rather than reloading the last tab I was in.
Thanks!!!!
Hello,
if you are using Chrome or Firefox, you need to close the tab, if you don't want to use he browser. If you will start it then, only the blank Google search will open.
No, if you are using Chrome or Firefox, it reopens the tab you last had open every time you reopen the browser.
I want to close the browser no matter what tab I had open and have it open only the page I want. It's easy to do on a desktop, I cannot find out how to do it on mobile. It reopens the last tab every single time I reopen the browser. I do not want this.
Why do you don't just close the tab?
You mean press home every time I exit the browser? Because I don't want to have to bother to do this. I just want to set a default start page. It can be done on the Blackberry no problem but Android doesn't seem to be able to do it any more.
No, not home. Just close all tabs by pressing X.
But maybe we should wait for another person, who knows this better.
what not in the settings
how is taht possipole due
no i think you didnt search well
in mine stock browser its in settings>>>start home page and there you can edit the url of the start page
