I strongly believe that is the fault of ur device. Chrome is one of the best browsers when it comes to keeping webpages in memory. Does ur device have 1gb of ram?

Personally, I find chrome tedious to use. I don't particularly like the interface. Although I hear it's all that, I prefer UC. All the stuff about restarting tabs on exiting UC isn't true. Unless the person has settings off for restarting tabs. UC opens over 10 tabs, contrary to popular belief.

The only time chrome gets opened is when somebody else browses on my phone.

Team uc browser
uc browser is by far the best. Saves data, easy download, cool surfing e.T.C. the only problem is, u can't save page

Chrome and UcBrowser. I'm just so comfortable with both.
Re: Which Browser Do You Prefer To Use On Your Phone? by Shimish: 8:53am On Apr 29, 2016
based on my opinion, I hate chrome because of the annoying pop ups. very frustrating when you open a page, and it forces an app to trigger your Google play store. I use opera mini for light browsing, and uc for downloads. in fact Google chrome should be changed to pop-up chrome

Uc browser 10.9.0 is the best thing that can happen to human.....
It speed is same as the speed of light.
It features even more than chrome.
You can stream live videos and mp3 on it.
You can make your pic it's default theme.
It loads two pages at once saving you MB.
No browser can compete.

And u think chrome cannot stream videos and mp3?

Making ur pic its default theme... U mean that nonsense childish ' nice one ' that appears on every photo? Do people actually like that trash?

How do u cope with Uc browser closing all ur tabs when restarting whenever u navigate away to another app?

I've been using Chrome on that particular device for over 8 months and it was perfect, the problem start when Google rollout an update for Chrome and then, there comes the problem.


In fact, after the update on my phone, I updated the Chrome on my PC, and now I'm experience "Chrome Not responding" error on PC too

on lollipop chrome dont keep webpages in memory.

In fact, after their recent Chrome update, Chrome isn't so good with keeping webpages in memory even in Kitkat unlike before.

But it's still better at it then Lollipop.

It depends on devices. On HTC one m7/m8 chrome keeps tabs in memory on lollipop even though lollipop has this memory leak issues which was supposedly fixed on 5.1 in fact there are lots of 2gb ram phones running lollipop without memory leak. on Samsung galaxy a6 however not only chrome but every browser struggle to keep pages in memory... Just a 1 minute navigation away from browser and it will reload every page but at least it doesn't kill ur tabs like uc does.

But with marshmallow this problem was fixed on the s6. Now it can keep chrome in memory for a very long time with every tabs intact.

Did you read where I wrote that it's built on a Chromium engine, the kind that makes Google chrome what it is?

And who told you that HiOS copied google chrome in its browser?

Are you aware that the chromium engine/browser is the open-source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. The browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and they have different licensing.

So, pray tell, how is HiOS browser Google chrome in disguise?
My bad I just went through the open source licence of the hi os you are right...sorry miss

I don't know much about Marshmallow, but Lollipop is my everyday candy... grin

UC Browser on Lollipop runs perfectly well, I have 5 tabs and I'm still multitasking without UC killing the tabs.


I think all these Browser work best depending on the type of device.
Re: Which Browser Do You Prefer To Use On Your Phone? by Nobody: 9:45am On Apr 29, 2016
Opera Mini for short and simple web surfing

Chrome for major web surfing...this is the main for me cheesy

UCbrowser for downloads.
