Chrome browser on seventh, this ranking is a joke.

I use ucbrowser the most but it's maximum ten tabs annoys me, I open more than 20 tabs on Google Chrome, plus Google Chrome seamless sync with my laptop by just logging into my Gmail, I can continue where I stopped on my laptop.

Chrome should be second if not first, ucbrowser's downloads is what makes it stand out.

2. Dolphin


Dolphin is one of the oldest and most-popular third-party browsers for Android – indeed, it claims more than eighty million downloads, which isn’t to be sniffed at. Dolphin is a genuinely beautiful Android browser.

Dolphin offers a similar speed dial-style visual bookmarker to that of Opera, and it’s easy to switch between tabs. On that point, Dolphin was one of the earliest browsers to enable tabbed-browsing on Android. So there you go.

But where Dolphin sets itself a part is via the neat little pop-up menu that serves up a number of options – one of which is based around the notion of gestures. You simply draw a gesture on the screen, for example an ‘F-shape’, and associate that shape with a particular URL or browser action, and you will be able to initiate that action by using that gesture.

In adition to gestures, ‘Sonar’ mode lets you use yourvoice to search the Web, while a tonne of add-ons lets you enhance the browser. This includes extensions such as Dolphin Reader, which strips out the junk and brings a Firefox-style reading mode to your device.
Dolphin also has multiple themes and is updated regularly.

Dolphin is my traditional browser due to its being light and fast. Very simple, yet, efficient.
The down point for me is that my download sometimes fail at near completion, which is a pain whenever I'm low on data.


1. UC Browser

King of the lot!

Many of the best Android browsers come with theme support but UC Browser for Android allows you to use your own photos as a theme.

UC spots a sleek-looking interface with easy access to everything. Features tabbed based browsing and an Incognito mode for sneaky browsing.

UC is reliable both in browsing and in downloading, whether large or small files.

It offers a simple interface but with all the necessary benefits to enjoy a satisfactory browsing.

Among the most significant benefits of the browser you will find: the 'move' control to use different functions of the application making movements on the screen, the possibility to quickly change from one tab to another or the one that allows you to search for anything through voice command.

Apart from this, UC Browser offers a night mode so you can browse on the internet without light and without your eyes getting annoyed in the process, something really common when you want to search for something during the night.





WORTH A MENTION:

Next Browser

Baidu Browser

Lightning Browser

One Browser

UC Browser HD.

i dont know much abt other browsers cos i started using UCweb rite frm Version6 or so in java phone&i enjoy it.you can download much as possible.the most outstanding feature is downloading..you could pause your download or even exit without pausing and still your file is intact..you could also download offline..exit your browser to save Battery and your file could still download.it also helps in minimizing data usage&the browser has 3G,so even if you use Edge/gprs,its relatively fast..with your 4G on,you could download 3mb file in 5-6secs depending on network..you can read pdf files online using uc.can switch to night mode to read very well at night.i luv using it to chat on facebook.gives me pc version of facebook

used them all..but I still find myself coming back to operamini, it's simplicity and layout is just classic..ucweb is best for large file downloads...but for that total browsing experience, chrome it is...

nice compilation especially that Uc browser. that browser too strong even on Java phones. But I'm still looking for a browser that will always bring the PC version of every site whenever I enter.

Uc does it..check in settings..not with my Smartphone,i for don tell you where you will go to change the Interface

for all those that use Chrome and Firefox, go to settings, app manager, click on Chrome or Firefox and check the total size of the app.

Yeah, you can sync with it but not as straightforward as Chrome plus it did not work when I switched phones.

20 is average to me

Am looking for that too. Its one of reasons ucweb stands out.
i heard that uc browser consumes much data compared to opera mini.

Exactly! I use firefox as well. And to me, it's second to none. It's browsing experience is awesome, downloading too is fast. Dt it consumes data is wat I'm yet to come to terms with.


AyodejiMcCarthy:

to me chrome consumes more data compared to firefox

imas:

a million likes for you. it's CM browser for me anytime, anyday,

iamnazmul:


I would place Google Chrome in the first place and then UC Browser for Android.

abatically:
No matter how u put it, chrome is still the best all round browser for android. Might not be as rich and might lack features on other browsers but talk about overall functionality, chrome is the best.


Which is the best of the listed best?
