Strange blue tint on stock browser

After the latest update I decided to play with the multi-window with the new available apps. I decided to try Chrome and the stock browser. When I dropped in the stock browser, my screen tinted an odd blueish color. When I closed it, the screen went back to normal. When I opened the browser by itself, the same thing happened. Has anybody seen this, or is there any solution?

I just tried it, in the order that you said & I didn't have any discoloring.

Try restating the phone, sometimes that's all it needs to clear a bug.

Un check the change screen tone to save power, in display settings. Then reboot and you're set. You can also change your screen to a little more natural look by changing from standard to natural. In the display settings.

I didn't like it at first but now I feel it's the best and only way to run you're Note 2.

Tried all of those steps, and still get the same results. It has to be a bug in the latest update, I'm just surprised that I'm the only one seeing it. Luckily, it only happens on the stock browser, and I rarely use it.

I've seen this also. Screen turns blue whenever I bring up the browser. It does affect my viewing experience. It's a little more difficult to properly see the screen. I just got my note 2 last week.

Pretty sure its the power saving mode ... You can turn it completely off or uncheck the 2nd and 3rd options in the list

None of this has helped me. When I change the brightness in the browser, it also changes the brightness for the whole phone! I haven't seen a good solution yet!

The one thing that power saving mode fails to realize. On the GS3 and other galaxy devices, Samsung uses super AMOLED screens. And blue is the highest powered color. Making the screen a blue hue uses more power and causes burn in on the screen.
