How do i close out of a website?

When browsing how to I terminate the web connection? I feel like im leaving an open web connection hanging when I go back to home page.

You should download advanced task killer. When you close the browser and can click the widget and it kills all tasks. Hope this helps.

I will look at that app. When I press the hard menu key I see no X to press

also, try dolphin browser, its way better than stock and gives you an option to close it

Abe, thanks for that article. So essentially there is no need to fuss and close a web application. If I'm on this forum and done, for example, I can just hit the "home" hard key and move on to another task.

Do I have that right?

Interesting that Dolphin works better than the original browser system? I thought that was sort of the heart of the 2.2

You should also be able to use the "Back" button to close.

Task Killers aren't really the way to go. The Android OS will start apps up again if it needs to, even if you just killed it. Take a look at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/65483-task-killers-answer-google-developers.html

If you've been scrolling between web pages for a while, you may have to hit the back button a couple dozen times. That's what I was doing for a bit. Now I just hit the home button and the heck with it per Abe's article (at least that's my understanding of it)

Hitting the back button.

Also, try xScope brower, it has an exit button in the menu.

I like Dolphin HD the best. Change user agent to desktop/computer so you're not stuck with mobile sites...get the real deal!

You can get a plugin for dolphin hd called tab history that makes going back to pages you've visited very easy.

Don't kill tasks. Don't use antivirus. Don't use the stock Email client.

Is Dolphin HD also an email system? So far I cannot send emails, only receive them
