Top 5 Android Web Browsers
Top 5 Android Web Browsers
There’s hundreds of android web browsers, depending on your requirements
either desktop sync or speed browsing, or support for flash navigation,
you have options galore. Some of them are popular others are not much
popular. So in this Post I’ve decided to let you our readers inform that
which are the top 5 android browsers.
-
Firefox
for Android has come a long way since its days in beta. It’s fast, it’s
free, it fully supports Firefox Sync, so if you use Firefox on the
desktop, it’ll bring in your bookmarks and passwords. It’s the first
mobile browser to truly support Do Not Track, and the “Awesome Page”
start screen that shows you all of your recently visited tabs helps you
get right back to what you were doing if you had to put your phone down.
It even supports add-ons and Personas, although there aren’t too many
of them yet. A few more options, and Firefox would be a good contender
for our favorite, but it’s clearly already one of yours, and for good
reason.
-
Chrome
for Android finally left beta late last month, which means now it can
go on to be the new “stock” browser on Android devices…assuming you’re
running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher. If you are running ICS
or Jelly Bean on your device,
Chrome for Android is a must-download. It supports Incognito Mode
browsing, bookmark syncing via Chrome Sync, and in its most recent
updates, now supports search syncing, tab syncing, and more—anything
that Chrome can sync on your desktop will be right there waiting for you
on your Android device. Chrome for Android is also optimized for
mobile, meaning it’s blazing fast. The only downside is that Google
hasn’t made it available for phones running Gingerbread or tablets stuck
with Honeycomb.
-
Dolphin
Browser is our favorite web browser for Android, and for good reason.
Dolphin’s options and tools are unparalleled, even when compared to the
big name browsers, supports dozens of third-party plug-ins and tools to
extend its features, has built-in speech-to-text thanks to Dolphin
Sonar, supports on-screen gestures to open bookmarks and navigate around
pages, and comes in two flavors: the “HD” version for phones that can
handle all of its features, and a “Mini” version for device owners who
want speed and snappy performance over options. Even if you gravitate to
one of the big names, Dolphin is worth at least trying.

Back in the early days of Android, one of the first browsers to challenge the stock
browser was a now-vanished app called Miren. Miren was a great and
feature-rich browser, but for reasons unknown, it’s tough to find these
days. If you liked Miren, Boat Browser is its spiritual successor. Fast,
lightweight, and completely free, Boat is intuitive, supports add-ons,
and has a powerful voice control engine (so you can say “Facebook” and
the browser will bring up Facebook for you). You can even skin and theme
the UI if you like, customize the speed dial start page with your
favorite sites, and more. If your phone can’t handle the full version—or
you just want a lighter app (which is hard to believe), Boat Mini is
there for you.

If
you’re a fan of Opera on the desktop, Opera Mobile will suit you
perfectly. Opera Mobile supports Opera Link, so you can sync your
bookmarks, speed dial, and other user preferences with your desktop
Opera install. Aside from that, Opera Mobile is fast, free, and goes out
of its way to compress data in the background so you can browse your
favorite sites without blowing past your wireless carrier’s data caps.
Opera even has its own mini-app store, full of third party add-ons that
improve the browser or games that make it more fun to use. Have an older
device? Opera Mini might be a better choice—you get most of the
features, but even more speed.
There you have it: your picks for the five best web browsers available for Android. Now it’s time to decide which one is the best overall.
