    Nokia E7 web browsing issues

    Hi!



    There are a couple of problems with otherwise great browsing:



    • Reading web sites like m.hs.fi (newspaper) where the whole of text block (title and text body) is web link, it is very difficult to browse the page upwards or downwards by swiping without activating the links
      (resulting in downloading a linked article and moving there).
    • Controlling the font size of web pages from browser options does not work on most of the web pages I read (m.hs.fi,
      m.kauppalehti.fi, for example) only a few allow this (such as
      m.yle.fi,
      www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile
      ).
    • How to get the bookmarks be the start page? I mean the local file, not storing the bookmarks to the web?

    [Solved] Web Browsing Timing Out Frequently But Downloads Unaffected

    Google DNS is a good thing to test, which is why it is commonly suggested. *Wink web browsers take too long to browse local file on windows 11 ;)

    As I explained before, ISP DNS servers can cause issues, go down, and not be updated to your device providing DNS. If you want to go a step further, login to your router and set the DNS servers uses and provides over DHCP to the Google DNS and remove the ISP DNS servers. Be done with it.

    I also strongly recommend OpenDNS servers for safer browsing, especially if you're not into browsing malicious, porn or questionable sites. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.222.222. Those are what I use at home...effective DNS filtering to keep many bad sites that are flagged with malware out of your home network and web browsers. Free and effective.

    At this point if its working, I'd say use it for a day and see if issues come back...if so then the other things I suggested might be worth looking at.

    Quick DNS 101

    DNS = Domain Name Servers... what it does is take what you type in your web browser, or for ping, or some name domain request...take Techpowerup.com. DNS takes that and looks into an index/cache to find out what address it is...say 123.123.123.123 and then sends the reply to the ping session, web browser, etc. so you can go to Techpowerup.com.

    DNS is like a phone book, you look up a person's name for their phone number to call them and connect. DNS does that for web sites and services. It is critical for web site usage where everyone can remember domain names, but not IP addresses.

    Web pages did not open

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Apologize for the difficulties that you're experiencing in Windows 10.

    • Which web browser are you using?
    • Is the issue confined to any specific website?
    This issue could have occurred due to corrupted cache/cookies/browsing history stored in the browser.

    Cookies are small files that websites put on your PC to store information about you and your preferences. Cookies can make your browsing experience better by letting sites remember your preferences or letting you avoid signing
    in each time you visit certain sites.

    Step 1:
    As an initial step, I suggest you to check the issue with a different browser and also try to clear the browser's cache/cookies/browsing history and check if it helps.

    Step 2: Internet Connections troubleshooter.

    This will find and fix problems with connecting to the internet or to websites.

    Follow the steps:

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click on Internet Connections.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
