| When people are asked what is the best part of smartphones, most of them answer it's 'apps'. But for most people browser is the most used app on a smartphone. Tech giants Google and Apple are aware of this browser popularity and that's why both their default browsers are good enough. iOS is ruled by Safari, while Google Chrome is the king of Android. But there are several alternatives too to this default browser on Android. Here are the best five browsers an Android device offers: |  |
1. Google Chrome:
This is the default browser on an Android phone which is a great choice. Its design is very appealing to its users and all browser data can be synced across device and platforms. It also allows saving bookmarks and passwords across devices which means you don't need to begin from the scratch. The browser also features voice search and a cool data compression feature. Its customisation options are limited but otherwise Chrome is an excellent option.
2. Firefox:
Mozilla Firefox is offered for Android users with a polished and smooth browsing experience. Its add-on library is vast which adds lot of flexibility to the browser. It allows blocking ads, managing your passwords or create custom gestures for common actions like opening new tabs. Firefox also lets you save articles for offline reading and features a wide variety of customisation options too.
3. Hover:
Hover browser's best feature is it's a floating app. It hovers over other apps letting you browse the Web while you are doing something else like watching a movie or send emails. But this browser doesn't work on all the apps. It's extremely helpful if you want to keep an eye on a webpage while using other apps. You can work on a document and keep the cricket scores open in a corner.
4. Opera Mini:
Opera Mini looks updated these days big time. It's a useful browser for low-end phones. It takes less space after installation and it also offers a data compression feature. It helps you reduce quality of images on websites. It's better than the full Opera browser as it takes up lesser resources.
5. UC Browser:
UC Browser is quite a popular Android browser with exciting features to improve your browsing experience. It can load pages very fast and it also manages downloads. It also tries to resume the downloads automatically if a drop happens in the Internet connection. UC Browser, in its latest development also integrates with Facebook and it shows notifications too.
