Essential Android Apps

unfortunately it thinks my pc is remote not localm, promting me to pay for a monthly service

I get that sometimes, closing the app from the app manager and reloading it generally fixes that.

Chrome Beta doesn't seem to load any pages on either my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7.

Have you tried closing the open tabs and opening a new one?

Sometimes even the stable chrome just decides that a tab isn't going to load anything again.

Yes, no joy:

Anyway, here's why I much prefer the AOSP browser to Chrome:

ABP maybe the problem? Caused nothing but problems for me.

Your pics show why I prefer Chrome when browsing this forum because I can read the text without zooming in and out.

Can someone spec me a .tiff viewer?

Yes, that was it. Chrome Beta is indeed better than Chrome, but I still prefer AOSP.

Are you suggesting that the AOSP browser doesn't have text scaling options?

How about Fast Image Viewer?

Not to the extent of Chrome apparently.

Thanks, but has this actually fixed the text sizing problems which a number of users on here were experiencing?

What's the easiest way to close a tab in Chrome on my Nexus 4? I hate having to make two plus clicks/gestures to close a tab...makes me want to switch back to ICSbrowser

Press the tab button then swipe the window off the screen, that is the fastest way I know of.

Personally I like the way tabs work in chrome on a phone.

But the problem is the tab button is on the top left, not the easiest to reach when you have a 4"+ screen

Tell you what it should do:
When you grab the far left or right of the open tab, it lets you being a gesture scroll to the next/previous tab. If you drag half way you can kinda see the window start to scroll between the two tabs before you lift your finger up. It is at this stage I wish it let you then swipe up or down to throw the tab away; close it.
