I've only had my Optimus V (and Android) for about 10 days, so please bear with me. I recently installed the Opera mini browser and selected "Yes" when asked to make it the default browser. I like it, but it doesn't seem to like the website m.mlb.com - screen is pretty much unreadable. So I ran the preloaded LG browser and manually loaded the m.mlb page. It came up fine, but here is the strange part: if I click (touch?) a link on that page, the link loads in Opera mini! I've used multiple browsers on many platforms (pc, ipod touch, etc) but links are always followed in the active browser, not hijacked by another browser (even if the other is labeled "default"). I hope this is a bug and not a "feature". Has anyone else experienced link hijacking? I'd like to find a way for these browsers (and maybe more) to coexist. Any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks for the reply Martimus! Your suspicion is likely correct, but I still consider this strange behavior for a browser. On my PC, for example, IE is the default browser, but if I launch Chrome, any link I select in Chrome is launched in Chrome, not in IE. Must say I'm not blown away by Android, but the Optimus is a keeper anyway. Thanks again.
