Default Browser acting funny

In the first few days it was fine, but now I cannot view some webpage completely.
One is the bookmark called My Verizon it use to display to where I could see the whole page, now the window that opens shows only the first 4 lines and that it.
I am having this same problem on some other sites, and they use to work good.
I have cleared the cache I am going to do the cookies next hope that helps.

Is JavaScript enabled in your browser settings?

Anyone else having browser problems?
I have not got this figured out yet, there is this option that I have not done because I don't know if it will delete all my bookmarks.
(Clear all internet data and reset all setting to default.)
Does anyone know if the bookmarks will be lost?
One of the sites that does not display correctly is Google maps online, does your phone display this correctly?

Have you restarted your phone? I had a problem where the browser wouldn't accept any input in text fields, I restarted and it fixed the problem.

NOPE, everything works great here!

I noticed you only had 10 posts when I checked.

What does VZW support say? What is your signal strength in db when you are having problems (assuming 3G since you didn't say over wifi)? What apps do you have installed?

What is the most active under "Battery use", please list everything.

I have not checked Verizon support, I figured I could get better help here, from people that use the same phone.
Signal strength varies I have the problem at home or at work, at home I have 1 bar, at work I have full signal.
I have not used wifi mostly on 3G service.
Programs I have installed are, Advanced Task Killer, Astro File Manager, Convert Droid, ebuddy, Labyrinth Lite, OI Shoping list, PicSay,ShopSavvy, and Voice Recorder.
I got these programs as soon as I got the phone, they were programs I had on my G1 and my browser worked fine for a few days.
If this was on my home PC I would say that I have spyware on my PC or a virus.
I have not done a browser reset back to default because I did not want to loose all the bookmarks.

Just backup your bookmarks with "bookmark backup and restore" or "bookmarks2sd" you can find both of those on the market.
