[Q] How can I turnoff this annoying zoom feature? (images inside)

RBenard · Jun 6, 2014

Hi,

I've this EXTREMELY ANNOYING feature on my Note 3, it's specifically working on Dolphin Browser HD so I want to disable it.

Isn't the two taps zoom, it's kind of a "retard one tap zoom" or something that works when you click on random parts of the screen, zooming it instead of going to the link... Very Very Annoying and in Dolphin Browser it's even worst!

Please check the images attached so you can see what I mean.

1- Image Number one without clicking on the Send Payment Link from the Paypal's website (had to use it as example):

2- This is how it looks with the EXTREMELY ANNOYING and UNSOLICITED ZOOM.

It is Google chrome's feature, you can't turn it off.

I think it happens when your 'tap' overlaps onto 2 things.

Aim better.
It wont show up if click directly on the link itself without clicking on another link at the same time.

I have never had problems with it, only showing up now and then. So use the S-pen instead of your thick fingers. :good:

Isn't a solution to the original problem so no, thanks.

Any clue on how to disable that? I've found that when two css classes overlap the problem appears as it won't detect the hyperlinks by default and would do the zoom instead. Happening on every browser but opera.

Thanks.

You should be banned just for saying that LOL

But, I can't use opera, dolphin have some extremely useful plug-ins that I can't give up. So I hope there's a work around for this.

I have the same prob before with the previous version of Dolphin, but after update no more problem.

Try to update the Dolphin to the latest release?

Please read again the first post. That isn't the problem.

It's always up to date. It happens on all its versions.

I get what you mean now...that so-called "link management" feature is not possible to turn-off at the moment (afaik). I pinch zoom until i m sure that i will click the right link and then i don't have this thing pop-up.

Partially. And still isn't a nice feature if we have to rely on the s pen to handle these Android issues.

This is actually a feature, not a bug haha. I agree it's annoying though. It's when the system isn't sure which link you clicked. It zooms in so you can click better.
