Web browser

[Millsy403]

Does anyone know what setting I need to do in order to make Google work on some web pages for the Priv. It worked on my HTC but it won't work on my Priv. Or is there a different Web browser I could use instead of the Google apps?

I'm comparing with Firefox, opera and ghostery. But I don't ultimately know which to choose. I don't want to use chrome because well it's google. I like Firefox because of all the addons to block trackers and ads. But the scrolling with physical keyboard is horrid. And some sites like flipboard don't play nice with Firefox.

Ghostery looks OK and blacks trackers but is limited in features as far as add ons, can't backup bookmarks. But runs smooth.

Opera seems to run really nice on my Priv. I'm just disappointed it's not on par with Firefox as it doesn't support addon.

So I'm just hoping opera or Firefox steps up their game.

Also does anybody know how to do benchmark tests on android. I wanted to compare how much ram CPU battery etc each browser uses doing the same task

I don't understand what is going on with my browser. It seems like a few websites don't work. I don't know if it's because of flash of what not. It would work on my HTC but won't work on my Priv

Well, try another browser. If that helps, you have an answer. I like Opera and Firefox, but there are a lot of other browsers that are pretty nice too.

Have you tried uninstalling and putting back on.. I have had very little issues besides Firefox not working with scrolling on physical keyboard right

Firefox with Adblock and Ghostery. But keep Chrome on there, for those few instances where the site doesn't play well with Firefox.

That's my vote, try it, if you don't like it try something else. BTW, you'll prob have to go to Amazon or somewhere else to get Firefox with the addons.

It's not your internet connection going out?

If you use chrome on your desktop it's nice for the mobile cuz everything syncs!

Amazingly! Use the privs pop up widget and your mobile bookmarks are instantly there and boom your playing proline or whatever
