Why is there a separate brightness setting for browser?

---

Is this the Android thing or Samsung thing? I've used HTC before and found no such setting.

It is so annoying. Every time the browser is opened, the brightness is changed!

Why the hell do they have a brightness setting in browser????

Ive seen other people complain about the same thing, its really weird.
I believe its to do with the phone being in power saving mode.

Yes, if you open the browser and hit menu and go more then brightness setting. You only need to set it once though.

But when you change your general screen brightness, your browser brightness is still the same.


There is just no point to have a separate setting there.

I agree. It's really obnoxious. Droid comic viewer does the same thing. I don't get what the advantage of having a separate brightness control could possibly be.

The browser has it's own settings for brightness, what's all the fuzz about, I personally think its useful.

i find it useful, i keep my phone on min brightness, but i keep my browser at full lol

It's there because the Android browser is an all-white background by default, unlike the rest of the OS, and may be too bright for some people. Easy to change in the browser and not **** with your main brightness setting.

A stupid thing with absolutely no benefit to anyone.

I hope Android product managers read these forums. But I doubt it.

They should just implement a check box that would set it's brightness to the system. That way everyone would be happy.
