Looking for a Browser that isn't Deeply Flawed - Page 2

What is user agent? Sorry, but I do not know what you mean. I posted the link that was taken from my laptop but also works from my desktop. Are you searching from an Android tablet?

User agent is how the browser delivers webpages - desktop mode which is how it would look on a pc, android mode which is a mobile webpage, ipad mode, etc. Yes I am on an android tablet, this is a thread for browsers on an android device.

This is the first I've encountered user agent/desktop mode. I don't do much browsing on tablets...use mostly for reading books. Using my tablet instead of laptop I came up with this:
http://www.palemoon.org/download-ng.shtml

Let me know if it doesn't works with your tablet.

If they get that under control, I'd switch back to Chrome in a heart-beat.

So that's where my Battery life went! I thought it was Dolphin.

I like it so much that I'm running it on all my devices. It's built on FireFox so it's comfortably familiar, but just seems faster and smoother and I didn't have to give up my favorite extensions. It's enough like FireFox that it may not remedy your closing tabs problem though.

Trying it. It's faster than FF.

Two big problems with FF is the blurry text that takes too long to resolve (it's text ffs, not a jpg that needs to be download). The other problem is the lack of a way of getting back to the top of the page. Most other browsers I've found have a arrow that does it. In FF, I have to scroll for ages to get there.

Chrome loves to freeze on page.

Pale Moon is based on FF but the creators have removed all of FF's faults. Best one Ive foind.
