Description
MY NEW APP Unlock with WiFi unlocks your device when you're connected to your home WiFi! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.benhirashima.unlockwithwifi
--------------------------
Sometimes you're viewing a web page in a browser, and you decide you want to open it in a different browser. Maybe the page looks funny or it's loading slowly in the current browser. How do you open a page you're already viewing in another browser? Well, you could copy and paste the URL, but that's more work than it should be.
Now you can use Choose Browser. If you "share" a page or link from any app, you can select Choose Browser, then you will be presented with a list of installed browsers. You can share a link from one browser to another. You can share a link from, say, your RSS reader, and choose which browser to open it in. It's nothing fancy, but it saves you a little time.
The app is very handy for mobile web development, when you have to test your website in different browsers.
If this app doesn't work on your device, please email me, and I will fix it.
This app may not work on some recent HTC phones, because of a change HTC has made to their version Android. You can thank Apple and it's lawyers for that.
This app is free, with no ads.

5 ★ I kept getting an error before when trying to choose a browser for Facebook, but it works now. This seems to have happened at the same time that I deleted Opera. There hasn't been an update so I'm not really sure what happened. All I know is that it works perfectly now & I love it. It is going to be very useful when I decide to move my bookmarks to another browser that works better. Thanks for this!
5 ★ It does one job, and it does it well. No fuss, No ads, No crap. Just choose it from the share dialog then tap the browser, that's it. Works on every version of Android I've tried it on, and it adapts to the native app chooser look(since Google tweaks it in every version of Android) so it never looks out of place. And it's free, what else could you ask for?
2 ★ Not compatible with Marshmallow. When I shared the page, the app told me to install more browsers, because I only had one installed, while I actually have five different browsers installed. Too bad, I could really use an app like this.
2 ★ Doesn't work: it doesn't register itself as a browser therefore I can't use it as standard browser, and it doesn't see that you have multiple browsers if you have one selected as standard. So you can't set a standard and then the app is not useful because Android already asks what browser to chose....
5 ★ Good to switch to different browser when something does not load correctly in default one. edit this now only works if no default selected but still very good as similar apps do not show in such a nice way.
4 ★ Would have given 5 stars if had no issues. Sometimes it says "bad url passed" and does nt work.except that it is working fine
5 ★ Not all apps need or should be complex. Here's a good example of one that adheres to the K.I.S.S. rule "Keep It Simple and Straightforward." Say you have more than one browser and you wish to display the same Web page on both browsers, you simply tap the SHARE menu icon, select CHOOSE BROWSER, select alternate browser, and your original Web page now is displayed by both browsers. If your device has 'multi-window' feature supported by both browsers, you could view both Web pages simultaneously.
5 ★ Keeps my Sometimes Smartphone working well.
5 ★ exactly as it says. If your thick like the reviewer 2 below this one who says he cant work it then watch the video before you download,it's simple!
5 ★ 1-24-15 Have had this app on all my phones! Works flawlessly all the time! This is absolutely the BEST!! There is none better!! Thanks Dev! Great job!! Update : 1-15-16 Still the BEST on my new phone!! Thanks Dev!!
5 ★ An awesome, must have app! Such a simple idea but use it just once & you'll wonder how you ever lived without it! =^)
5 ★ Amazing - I actually wanted to program the same thing (I switch between dolphin on wifi and opera turbo on 3g), thanks for saving me time;).
5 ★ This app is a must have! Does what it needs to do and does it perfectly! Love the ability to open a link to a YouTube video in the YouTube app, a link to an app in the market app, and so on, all from the browser of choice.
4 ★ Worked great for a long time. Does exactly as described. Sadly, appears to be usable on Android marshmallow.
5 ★ I work from home and have corporate email which requires a must lock policy on the phone. This aleviates the need to constantly put my password in.
