What is the best internet browser for the BB Classic?

- Browsie Bowser is great because you can change the user agent. Websites behave much better if they think they are dealing with an iPhone or Android device - especially video and drop down menus.Plazmic Flame likes this.05-18-16 09:33 AMLike 1

- With keyboard shortcuts in the stock browser, I can't use any of the other ones without getting frustrated. U will highlight the url field so you can quickly type a new url, G goes to like a launchpad page where you can either type a new url or select from an array of recently visited websites, W brings up the Side menu with the list of tabs so you can quickly select or close tabs using the trackpad or touchscreen, T goes to the top, B to the bottom, L to refresh the page, and there are others. But most of these 3rd party browsers don't make use of the keyboard this way. With Evolution browser, if you need to type a new url, you'll need to touch the url bar, and even then it doesn't highlight the existing url for you, you then need to highlight the existing url or delete it manually, then you type the new url. So much extra work compared to simply pressing U then typing the new url as in the stock browser. Yes I've tried to bring that suggestion to the developer many times, always ignored. So I uninstalled the app...

Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB1005-18-16 10:32 PMLike 0 - Trying out Browsie, so far it looks ok, I guess they added the shortcuts after I tried it before because I see that it was already purchased in BBW, lol. But anyway, know how to open a local file in it? The url to open local files like in the stock browser doesn't work on browsie, know what format it is? I have my own homepage I want to use. If you don't know that, happen to know how to contact the developer? The option for contacting the developer in BBW isn't there for him...

Redirection and decryption of mobile traffic: Is your browser a MitM? - TechRepublic
Quote:
" If you need full end-to-end encryption, you should use a full web browser such as Opera Mobile.
Just to be clear "end-to-end encryption," in this case, means HTTPS (encrypted) traffic travels to a remote web server, a bank for example, unhampered (not decrypted)."05-19-16 06:31 AMLike 0 -

Really helpful for addresses with multiple parts). So... back to the default browser I go.

Posted via CB1005-19-16 06:43 PMLike 0 - I have BB10 browser, Browsie Browser and Zeus installed on my Classic... 9 times out of 10 I use the BB10 Private browser or BB10 browser... Zeus comes in handy for flash... I bought Browsie, it's cute and the developer had always shown love for the app, but I seldom use it... I'm fairly vanilla on most fronts... Stock is usually how I prefer to roll...

Posted via CB1005-19-16 07:03 PMLike 0 - Agreed... I support developers with good apps... Browsie is good if you want to really customize and tweak your browser it looks and feels a lot like stock without being stock... But I prefer simplistic and basic at the end of the day... Bells and whistles not needed... I just want to browse...

Even when I use Zeus Browser, I'm sure to use the Ad blocker from Shao.

Edit: So if you also have the Classic, remember to close a tab, W -> highlight tab from tab list -> swipe right on trackpad -> click down on track pad
Quicker than using the touchscreen because it's less movement with your thumb to go from keyboard to trackpad

- Probably among the two most used ones for me. :-)
