Settings.

Page content settings

Text size Opens a dialog where you can increase or decrease the size of the text that Browser uses when displaying webpages.

Default zoom Opens a dialog where you can increase or decrease the magnification level that Browser uses when first opening a webpage.

Open pages in overview Uncheck to open webpages displaying their top-left corners at 100% size. Check to open webpages zoomed out, in an overview.

Text encoding Opens a dialog where you can change the character-encoding standard that Browser uses when displaying text on a webpage.

Block pop-up windows Check to prevent websites from opening windows unless you request it.

Load images Uncheck to omit images when Browser displays a webpage. This speeds webpage display, which can be useful if you have a slow connection, but many websites make little sense with text alone.

Auto-fit pages Check to have Browser optimize the presentation of text and other elements of webpages to fit your phone’s screen. Checking this option also causes the browser to reflow a column of text to fit the screen if you double-tap the screen directly after zooming with your fingers. Uncheck to view pages as designed for a computer screen, and to cause double-tapping to simply switch between zoomed-in and default view.

Landscape-only display Check to display pages in landscape (horizontal) orientation on your screen, regardless of how you are holding the phone.

Enable JavaScript Uncheck to prevent JavaScript from running on webpages. Many webpages function correctly only if they can run JavaScript on your phone.

Enable plug-insUncheck to disable plug-ins from webpages.
