    Wondering if anyone has figured out a few things about the browser. How do you change the default zoom level or what is the ideal default font size? In portrait mode any webpage is rendered microscopic. Google Maps Web Page also gives an error saying that the default font size is not supported.

    What about changing the default search engine to anything other than Bing?

    Yeah I would like to know how to change the deafult search engine. Bing is useless for image searches.

    Changing default search engine is easy. There have been several posts about it, but if you haven't seen them or figured this out yet, you start typing any search term and at the top right you will see a dropdown menu where you can select search engine. Once a selection is made it always defaults back to that.

    Re "Default Font Size" warning on Google properties: This *will* appear if you have the standard font size in Settings | Display | Font Size set to anything but 8. However, all the Google web apps that I've tried work the same. You can safely ignore the warning. It's annoying but a non-issue.

    Re changing search engine, there's a frontpage CrackBerry News post about this -- please do at least a basic search before posting:
    How to change the default search engine in BlackBerry 10 | CrackBerry.com

    Finally, small text on portrait pages: to navigate, zoom in (by double tapping) and scroll around; to read articles, use the Reader Mode in the menu (three dots in the bottom-right corner).

    Good luck.
