Since updating to 2.1 I can't find out how to easily close explorer. Now I have to go back all the pages until it closes when I get to the first page. Anyone?

Yeh odd they took away the Exit option?? Are you saying then that if your browsing something that updates say every 60 sec like football scores or something and you "middle button" out of it, it wont still chew data in the background updating?
With Orange's "over generous" 500 mg data plan personally i like to know ive exited out of the browser totally.
Maybe switch to a browser that allows closing.
There are some good alternatives out there.
or download a Task Killer, just to autokill the browser when u want to.
I found out that they indeed took away the "exit" option on the browser.
So the "easy" way to exit is push the menu button and select "windows" and press the "x" on the right of the pages you want to exit, then if you close the last page, it will reload your homepage. just push the home button to exit
I just downloaded the free Dolphin Browser from the market... It's fast, love the "gesture" feature, free, and there IS an EXIT button... Keeps me at peace in mind.
Don't get you. When I finish browsing I want to exit back to the home screen but I can't, not without hitting the back button repeatedly which is annoying. Do you have to wait for it to close itself after a few minutes? Hit the standby button on the top? How do I exit back to the Home screen immediately after I've finished browsing like we used to be able to?
Have to say after one day of Android 2.1 I want the old system back, this new one is awful. Very disappointing.
Since I have Wi-Fi nearly all the time, I only purchased 200 mb data plan and when my bill was wrong I called at&t and was told that if I left browser open when not near wifi, 3g would take over and an "idle" browser continues to actively send/receive data, thus the overcharged bill.
I use ATK, but they should have left the "exit" button alone on 2.1
