Are you using the stock "internet" browser or one of the many available from the play store (might I recommend chrome instead)?

I've found that swiping them off of the screen is much easier and more initiative.

 

I think part of the problem with not getting help is the title of your thread. I had no idea it was a browser issue and only read it out of curiosity over what a "window manager" was.

I would second the suggestion of using the Chrome browser. It syncs nicely with the Chrome browser on PCs, but also is just a good browser.

 

I will second the Chrome suggestion. Not only does it sync everything with desktop and tablets, but it also come with bandwidth optimization and reduces your surfing cost. And it will show you where your other browsers were, so you can carry on reading what you left off on desktop or tablet.
