First of all, I know that there is a "request desktop site" in the Android browser, but it doesn't solve my problem. I have this site and they have an Android app as well. Because of that, they want users to play videos from their app and not from the Android browser. But "for reasons", I want to play it on the browser. Defining user agents as chrome/windows didn't help either. Do you guys have any idea how to do it?

I'm using Chrome and Firefox on Android 10. I need to add a link to my home screen and I can't find a way to add the specific link. I know that I can do the following: 1. Go to the URL 2. Tap the overflow (3-dot) menu 3. Add to home screen However, if I navigate to a specific URL **within** some sites, like Weather Underground (https://www.wunderground.com/) and follow the above process, it doesn't add the specific URL, it adds www.wunderground.com and doesn't seem to give me any way to edit that URL to reference the specific subpage (e.g. www.wunderground.com/my/specific/url). Why, and how to solve this?

I want to back-up bookmarks and history, but the Sync "application" on my android device "cannot connect to network" and the webpage only provides a never ending swirl, even on a laptop. (Yes, 'this is a question to ask at mozilla support'... which requires a Firefox account.) Alternately, is there any browser that allows this manually, exported to some .txt or other file? Edit: trying to install xBrowserSync, but it won't. I have a few versions, but each has this problem.   I scanned each at VirusTotal first, of course.

Background 1) Using a file explorer I can select an HTML file and it will start the default browser and then do its thing. 2) The HTML file is on an inserted SDCARD 3) In the browser, the HTML file takes some options and displays text relevant to those options The reverse does not work (The Problem): 1) In a browser I enter the path for the HTML file shown by the file explorer 2) An example: the file explorer shows the path as **/storage/####-####/folder/filename.html** 3) In the browser I enter **file://** then the path above (####-#### is 8 numbers in two sets of 4) 4) This generates the response: "Access to the file was denied: it is not readable. may have been removed, moved or file permissions may be preventing access." There is no user code I wish to enter the file URL within the browser so it can be bookmarked for easy future access

I have an offline saved htm web page on sdcard to test Javascript. The default render on my phone seems to be HTML Viewer. But when I tried to open the page, the code didn't run. I know this because there's some html tag in the page I was added to detect this: /* my Javascripts */ The current browser can't run Javascript. which displays on the page: "The current browser can't run Javascript." So how can I enable Javascript in HTML Viewer? Both Opera and Browser are somehow can't found out the file when I typed in the address textbox: file://localhost/sdcard/page.htm The problem exist on almost any phone. But the later just works on some of my phone. Another not.

There are various apps, like Discord, which when clicking a link provides the option of opening it in another app like a web browser or video player etc. Unfortunately, there is no option to copy the link, but only to download it, and even if you open the link there is never an option to copy the link (at least not in any of the Chrome browsers). Is there an app which accepts links like a browser, but will copy that link to the clipboard instead of downloading it?

I want to manually (not programmatically) add or edit an entry in an Android browser's local storage. I know how to do that on a Desktop browser, and I know how to programmatically do that cross-platform. Is there any way to do that? If so, how? It's OK if the answer requires downloading an extension and/or another app.

In an effort to reduce my data consumption, I want to view webpages, specifically webpages with logins and forms, in text-only mode. These pages usually require JavaScript, it seems. I want very basic text-only mode. The browser "low-data/no images" options don't quite cut it for my goal of stretching 500MB over a month with frequent use. Right now, I am using a mix of DuckDuckGo Lite, Textise, and Lynx in Termux for Android to bring my data consumption down to a minimum, but this doesn't work with websites that require JavaScript. Does anyone know how I can accomplish having JavaScript enabled while still using very little bandwidth?

I can not access all webpages on my phone. While some are working fine, others simply show "Webpage not available". This appears to be independent of the webbrowser. It's always the same webpages that won't work and they won't work with neither *mBrowser* nor *Tint Browser* and I have also experienced this on my mother's smartphone with the default browser. This is not a matter of misspelling or being temporarily not available: I have been experiencing this for months now (not always - there were times when I was able to access those pages) and the webpages are reliably accessible from a computer. This happens both when I am entering the URL manually as well as when clicking on a link from google. Removing the battery or clearing Tint Browser's cache did not help. some pages that are *not* accessible: - https://wiki.archlinux.org - https://github.com - https://jisho.org some pages that *are* accessible: - google - leo.org - wikipedia.org I am using Android 4.0.4 (CyanogenMod 9.1.0), mBrowser 12.0, Tint Browser 1.8 (10). My mother's phone was a Sony Experia with the preinstalled OS but I can't check the Android version because it got lost.

Typing text into the same textarea element on the same website with three browsers on my Android phone (Fairphone 4, Android 13) I have or not have spell checking as follows: - Chrome: yes - Firefox: no - Duckduckgo: no The information I found said to check the keyboard (gboard) and yes, it has spell checking enabled. I couldn't find a setting in Firefox or Duckduckgo itself. Does anyone have some insights where the problem could be: do those phone browsers just not have it, is it some setting still I might have messed up in the past?

I want to quickly try some JavaScript code on an Android phone. I cannot find how to open the console or something similar on either Chrome or the default browser. about:debug doesn't do anything, and I don't want "remote debugging". I can download another app if necessary (but I don't want to root my device).

My Samsung Galaxy keeps opening the web address https://luckyvybz.top Within the url, it also contains my ISP details, the device details, my location etc. I have ran malware scans using malwarebytes and Bitdefender but neither of these pick up any viruses Is there a recommended way to find culprit?

I can see 'Settings' -> 'Privacy' -> 'CLEAR BROWSING DATA', but that will clear my browsing info for all sites. I can also see under 'Settings' -> 'Site settings', there is an option to select 'All sites' and then pick a specific site. However, the site that has a cookie that I want to delete is not in that list (perhaps that list is only sites that have more than just cookies set?). I also tried navigating to chrome://settings/cookies (which works in the desktop browser), but this doesn't work in the mobile browser.

I wondering if there's a browser that I can use Google websites in, such that Google will think I am logged in from a plain Linux device (f.e. like a Linux laptop). Or perhaps there is a way to spoof it in Android such that Google will not see me as logged into an Android device. The reason I want this is because whenever I log into a Google **website** in an Android browser (without logging into Google at the Android OS level, i.e. without a Google account in the Android OS), Google adds this device to my Security Settings, and forces me to use push-based 2-step verification as described here (with video): https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/280192/which-android-browser-can-i-use-so-that-google-will-not-force-push-mfa and this Google Issue report: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/389946229 As you can see from those links, the unwanted push-based 2-step verification locks me out from accessing passwords (and any other settings) on all other devices because my Android device will never receive a push notification prompt. (It is literally impossible to receive a prompt if I did not log into a Google account at the Android OS level!) A workaround to this problem would be to prevent Google from knowing that I've logged into a website (which is not the Android OS) on an Android phone. Is there a way to do this? The goal: in My Google account's *Security Settings*, I do not want to see this Android device appear in the devices to which I am signed in when I log into a Google *website* on the device.

Soul browser (built on Chromium browser open-source), when I highlight a text on a webpage and the Context menu pops up, then I choose Web Search, but instead of opening a new tab with Google Search inside Soul browser, it opens in Google search app. If I change the search engine to like Duck Duck Go, it still opens in the Google search app. This is very annoying and I have searched for a solution for over a year. I even posted on Reddit and one other person has the same problem, https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1cvp1oj/comment/m4ehgqk/?context=3 . I am on Redmi Note 12 4G, Android 13, MIUI 14.0.12 (refuse to update to HyperOS). The weird thing is, if I try the same in Chrome, Kiwi, or Brave, Web Search opens inside the respective browser as it should. As a note: I have Soul browser on Redmi Note 7 (lavender) Android 11 and Redmi Note 8 (gingko) Android 12, Web Search opens inside Soul browser, which makes this very weird. Anyone have a clue as to why this happens? Google Search app setting to open inside browser is switched to OFF. Is there a way to edit this myself, or any addon app that can redirect Web Search in Soul to open inside Soul - App developer is not fixing this problem, I have asked several times. Besides this, Soul browser might be the best browser I have had, and I have tried them all.

I am trying to force fullscreen mode in the Chrome app. I've found a post that I cannot comment on for lack of reputation . Apparently, I must paste a line of script in the URL of the website, but I cannot seem to get it right whatsoever (I pasted it both before and after the URL). I'd like to have a step-by-step tutorial of how to proceed, with some visuals, if this is still the only alternative available.

I'd like to read a moderately big HTML file - about 3MB. Another option is to have it split in several interlinked HTMLs. Cool reader is the closest. Though it: * either crashes/gets out of memory, I don't know, on certain pages of a 3MB HTML file (3MB is not that much, actually, for a 50MB free memory). * or doesn't support links to files lying in the same directory/zip file (in a form: ``) Are there any other options around?

Some context: I'm using Desire, and it bugs me that it adds "http://www ." when I type a word into the address bar. I just want to search... The application I'm using is called "Internet". Is it something tailored to HTC? Is it based on Chromium?

It appears that once a PWA (Progressive Web App) is installed, and then deleted, it can not be installed again. 1. On Android, clicking on Save to Home Screen shows an option to Install. 2. If this PWA is deleted from the home screen. 3. Clicking on Save to Home Screen no longer shows an option to Install. I have tested this on Android S20 and S24. And also on iPhone 11. 1. I have restarted the phone. 2. The PWA does not appear in Settings-> Apps, so nothing can be deleted. Is there a way to get around this?

My question is similar to this one , but my HTML file and resources are not on an SD card, as my phone does not accept SD cards. It is currently at file:///Download/AnotherFolder/here.html. I have resources like images and javascript in a subfolder. How can I run this is in a browser, preferably Chrome? Just entering file:///Download/AnotherFolder/here.html does not work in Chrome.
