Thanks.

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

Is it possible to create a simple web browser for Android by using Monodroid? My objective is to create a browser that can display (lets say) sites like google.com. C# is my preferred language and I'm using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate (monodroid has been integrated with it).
Thanks in advance.
Why do you want to build webbrowser? Did you check WebView control? - should be good enough to display websites on android.
I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use

and here can you see all browser versions as picture

I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.

For those who are still looking for an answer here's a Chrome extension
It has over 6 millions users, and it claims:

IE Tab exactly emulates IE by using the IE rendering engine directly
within Chrome. This will enable you to use ActiveX controls and test
your web pages with different versions of IE (IE6, IE7, IE8, or IE9).
-- FEATURES --
Create a list of URLs that will automatically open in IE Tab
Group Policy support for enterprise deployments
Securely use the old IE rendering engine
Edit Sharepoint documents instead of opening read-only
Use Java, Silverlight, and ActiveX in Chrome seamlessly

Sharepoint Central Administration site uses the selector control I'm talking about a lot (for selecting site collections and web applications primarily)
I have MOSS 2007 installed on a VM. When I open Central Administration from outside the VM from my desktop everything works fine. But when I open it from IE 6 installed on the VM the selectors just won't open the popup, when I click on them and there seems to be no javascript errors.
I suppose it has something to do with the configuration of the browser on the VM but I don't know what exactly to look for.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
#Edit: I have solved this problem by installing IE7 on the VM.
I had this problem too. Are you using IE6 on your desktop? Or IE7?
The way I got around it was using IE7 on my desktop.
