Why do you still insist on reporting this as something new? I’ve had access to all these things in the Honeycomb browser since June of last year. What the hell? Am I tripping?

Am I the only one who immediately gets annoyed to see text in thew browser PUSHED all the way unnaturally to the right? Guys, in the browser, menu>settings>advanced and uncheck “Auto-fit pages” and it will format web pages AS THE WEB DESIGNER INTENDED. Your welcome.

I would love to have the same feature on the new chrome browser. Kellex do you know if it’s possible?

Hehe didn’t know screen shots worked the same on ICS Xoom. Makes sense that it would on all ICS devices.

Wow! This actually makes browsing 10 times easier now. I would have never known about this. Droid Life to the rescue yet again

Things I hope they fix in stock ICS:
1) bring back independent ringer & notification volume (right now a 3rd party app or custom ROM is required)
2) bring back keyboard suggestions while typing in certain fields, like Google search, search, and most blogs’ and forums’ post entries.
3) bring back option to download link when long-pressing certain image links.
4) bring back dedicated search button in soft menu (useful for voice actions).

Been using these controls on Xoom for a long time, first with honeycomb and still works great now that I am on ICS.

There’s only one change I would make to the now stock 4.0.4 quick controls and then they’d be perfect. It’s a marriage of the original and Browser +. Add one more option, Navigation (preferably by replacing the + option or bookmark option). This new option would function identically to the behavior of the tabs option. (When “hovering” over the tabs option you’re presented with a set of thumbnails in which you can scroll through your tabs.) Well similarly, with this new option you’d have the option of Back, Forward, Reload, (Bookmarks, if it’s been replaced).

Do that and I really think it would be perfect. By replacing one of the current options it doesn’t add any additional clutter and it adheres to and follows the same functional format that’s already been established in the tabs option. Google, what do ya say!?

Wow!! I really have to get a life!! I just spent at least 15 to 20 seconds activating my quick controls on top of the screenshot until they matched up!! (Quite fun though)

Xoom has always had expanded controls running 4.0.3.

What you should do is update the post. Change the screenshot to a new screenshot of this post using the quick controls. It would make me giggle
