hi,
i just started using chrome few days ago. the main reason is that it can sync everything from my laptop to my tablet and phone. I can live with it although it is not the best browser.
anyway, there is a big problem that has been annoying me since i started using it. as it does not support flash, can i force youtube links to open with youtube app?
thanks
Good question. Thats a prob u get with other browser too. And same thing arrives when u view a twitter account. It opens on the web instead of the app whereas with stock browser it opens with the app.

When I click on video links on facebook, it shows me a list of browsers to choose app which will open video. there is no Youtube app in the list.
I tried clear defaults / delete data for both apps: Facebook and Youtube but without any results.
The problem is, that the link is redirected over Facebook. So the App does not recognize it as a YouTube-link.

There should be some trick to resolve this idiotic problem.

I really wish facebook would give us an option to disable this crap. I don't need this. Really really annoying. That's what's going on. Android will open up youtube videos with the domain youtube.com but facebook makes it m.facebook.com/something or another and youtube doesn't know that domain.
weird...

So I don't have any intention of Rooting my phone and I took the OTA update today that gave me Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
I can't remember if on Sense 4.0 in the App Association menu if YouTube was in there. It is in Sense 4.1 and gives 2 options for YouTube Links. Use the Browser or use the YouTube App.
The Problem I'm having is I have it set to use the YouTube App however it will only use the browser. I have sent a YouTube link to my phone via Text and Gmail and both times I click on it, it will open the browser. Also in the Facebook App YouTube links will open the browser and not the app. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I just checked and mine is set to you tube and videos open directly in you tube. I haven't been able to verify Facebook yet. Sorry, I'm not much of a help and I hope you can figure it out. Maybe try rebooting by holding the power button down for 10 sec. since the phone has gone through a lot of changes.

I sent myself a link to my Gmail and it opened the app as normal. Facebook opens the browser. And while in the browser clicking on links still uses the browser. I had to install chrome and make it the default so this would be resolved.

Facebook opens in the browser for me too, but this doesn't bother me enough to switch to chrome. But thank you for the info.

I know what you mean. I can't believe HTC wouldnt make an app association work with its own browser.

The map association seems to have the same issue. I have the map association set to open maps, but when I click on directions from the browser it opens up the website and not the app.
This is more of a headache than the YouTube association. Anyone else having the same issue, or have a solution I can try?

I can confirm that this an issue with the stock browser and map links. Seems that the stock browser overrides the app associations. I have installed Chrome and everything now opens in the appropriate app. If you install chrome you must make it the default browser

Is there android web browser without tab support? Just one web page at a time, so I don't have to close tabs from previous sessions all the time.
... can't you just not open any tabs, and there won't be multiple tabs?
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
I do not open them. For example: I'm in facebook app and I click on link, it opens in browser. I return to facebook and click on another link, it opens in new tab with first link opened in first tab. I tried default browser, dolphin, firefox...
Ah. I see. I doubt there are any browsers without extra windows/tabs, but I work around this problem by closing the window and tapping back to go back into facebook or whatever. This way, I'm only left with my homepage and the newly opened window.
I know its not a perfect solution, but it seems like a stock feature as to not disrupt any previously opened windows in case you were doing something on them.
Btw, have you tried out opera mini? I have this feeling it doesn't add extra tabs... but its not such a great browser
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
I tried Opera Mini (its great when there is no hsdpa) and it opens new tabs also
I'd be interested in this for my father - anyone found a solution in the two years since OP?
I didn't found anything... ?

What browser do you use?
I've tried opening posts on the browser and then back to Tapatalk to open another thread on the browser and the old tab was not there...
And also of your browser does support tabs, can't you close the tab BEFORE going back to Facebook?

I use Chrome and it is not big problem for me. But, there is lot of people buying cheap Android phones and they always need help with them and every one of them have like hundred tabs open in browser. So I'm surprised that Android even let that happen... And I think that people don't know how to close tab in Chrome, they even don't know what that number means.

I would agree on low end devices, it would be an unnecessary amount of resources assigned to chrome...
But I'd think that chrome would me killed by Android if not used...

Firefox Focus seems to do the trick. However it is not for every day use, because it is made for privacy. Maybe you might try to install usual Firefox and then search for an extension that blocks "_blank" attribute of the page. This attribute is responsible for opening new tabs.
Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Someone please fix this. It is very annoying. Someone did the same for HTC navigation vs Google maps.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".
