Browsing<br />
Surf the internet with ease on your smartphone or tablet<br />
The Android operating system is designed<br />
to be as open as possible and with this<br />
comes a mobile browsing experience that<br />
is as flexible and complete as you could<br />
hope for. Historically, mobile web browsers<br />
have been limited, and even with modern<br />
smartphones people have struggled to<br />
adjust to the capabilities of modern-day<br />
browsing on Android. This is partly because<br />
of a lack of awareness and also because the<br />
stock browsers that come with many devices<br />
lack all of the features we are going to teach<br />
you how to use.<br />
We have reached the stage with Android<br />
browsing that you can in theory do almost<br />
everything you can on a desktop and thus<br />
greatly increase the versatility your device<br />
offers. You can view many pages at the<br />
same time and keep them open at specific<br />
points, you can download various file types<br />
and as much media as your device can hold,<br />
and you can also fill in web forms without<br />
actually having to fill them in. No matter<br />
what your needs there are many alternative<br />
browsers available for you to try for free<br />
and bookmarking all of your favourites can<br />
literally be done in under a second for each<br />
page. In real-time you can share your open<br />
tabs using a Google account and all of this is<br />
just the tip of the ever more flexible Android<br />
browsing iceberg.<br />
Once you start using these advanced<br />
features you will be able to explore more<br />
options and push your device as hard as you<br />
can in a variety of different ways. The trick,<br />
however, is to find a set of solutions that<br />
work perfectly for you and to try to stick with<br />
them – it is easy to keep experimenting, but<br />
this rarely saves you any time. Remember<br />
that Android is only limited by your<br />
imagination and that the internet is a crucial<br />
part of any modern mobile device.<br />
Without the internet a smartphone or<br />
tablet is not even 10 per cent as useful<br />
so you may as well take full advantage of<br />
what is available to you. It’s time to start<br />
understand just how powerful your internetconnected<br />
mobile device can be.<br />
“Without the internet a smartphone or<br />
tablet is not even ten per cent as useful”<br />
Surf the internet with tabs Use tabs to speed up your browsing<br />
Use the icon<br />
When viewing a web page in the<br />
Chrome browser you will see a small<br />
icon in the top right-hand corner.<br />
This is the key to using tabs when<br />
browsing on a <strong>Samsung</strong> device. Tap it<br />
to proceed to step 2.<br />
The second tab<br />
Tap the option at the top ‘+ New tab’<br />
and then enter a web address or start<br />
a search as normal. When you tap the<br />
top-right icon again each of the open<br />
tabs will be displayed in a column for<br />
easy navigation.<br />
Delete a tab<br />
You can jump between pages by<br />
tapping any in the column and you<br />
can remove a tab by simply tapping,<br />
holding and then sliding it off the<br />
screen to the left. The remaining tabs<br />
will take its place.<br />

the web on<br />
