    This has been hard to describe without actually showing it, but I've had both the Z10 and the Passport, and everytime I use the native stock browser, the search results looks... bad.

    The only way I can get it to look sharp is by using an Android browser. Here's an example of such an occurrence, native vs android browser...

    Why Google search result look as sharp as iphone/android results?-img_20150928_090933.png

    Is there any way to tweak the native browser to give me high resolution results like the Android browser of top? Instead of having to click 'full image' every single time? Thanks in advance

    It's not high resolution, it's just a zoomed in cropped view. The native browser shows the full image with the option to zoom in.

    You'll need to change the useragent so Google sends you to the iPhone or Android Google instead. however in the stock browser this is not possible.

    But hitting full size image doesn't let you swipe between photos as you can on iOS and Android. This is a limitation that Google has put in when detecting the BlackBerry browser.

    This is EXACTLY it, my whole issue was that I have to press full image every damn time and then back out of the image twice to be able to reach the rest of the searches. iOS and Android doesn't have this mess, thanks for relating

    Thanks, I'll check out the browser. The user agent function seems too important in this day and age where the duopoly seems to have an advantage in the way their UI looks.
