Android, the mobile operating system by Google is so popular today. One reason for its popularity is the availability of tons of free applications for Android. One such important application that you should choose correctly is the browser. The browser connects you to the World Wide Web; a software application that is used to surf and navigate the internet. There are many browsers available for you to choose from, but deciding the right browser becomes difficult sometimes, because of different requirements of different people.
We have compiled a list of 5 best
browsers to help you choose the right browser to use with your Android
device. See the features and choose for yourself :
Firefox
A free browser
that will save you time as the speed of this browser is impeccable. It
has undergone a major update and has become one of the favourite
browsers of Android users. Firefox has redeemed itself with this major
update and has trounced the competition. In fact, according to Google,
Firefox is compatible with 94% of all the Android devices being used
compared to just 7% of the Chrome. It works on all devices which have
Android 2.2 (Froyo) or newer. So far, it has had just positive reviews
and more people are switching to Firefox. DOWNLOAD
Chrome
Chrome’s
unique features are its tab system, searches that are ‘lightning fast’,
ability to sync bookmarks through Google sign in, Incognito Mode
Browsing – which allows you to browse privately, voice search and
scrolling navigation. Chrome for Android
also boasts fast browsing as it is optimised for mobile. Definitely a
must for Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich Android users, but the Chrome
browser can only be used for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above
devices. DOWNLOAD
Dolphin Browser
For
RSS subscribers, this browser may be the cup of tea. Dolphin simplifies
the web pages making it easier for you to read. It has a HD version for
mobile phones and the Mini version for handheld
devices. It supports more third-party plug-ins and tools that uncover
more features. The Dolphin Sonar lets you open and navigate the web via
on-screen gestures. Dolphin sonar also adds text-to-speech feature in Dolphin browser. DOWNLOAD
Opera Mobile/Mini
Opera
desktop users will love the mobile and mini versions, as synching is
just a snap away. Fast and free, with third-party add-ons for more
improvements whether on the browser or games. Always remember that the
mobile and mini versions are not the same; Opera mobile is a full
browser unlike the mini, however the file
size of the latter is smaller. Opera mobile also compresses the data in
the background, before it is delivered to you, hence saving your
bandwidth usage. For older devices Opera is the best option to go for. DOWNLOAD
Boat Browser/Mini
This is a fun and free browser
for your device that boasts a powerful voice control feature. If you
say “Facebook”, the browser will automatically open Facebook for you.
There are various skins and themes that you can choose from in order to
personalise your browser. The mini version of the Boat browser can be used if your device can not handle the full version.
Is it Firefox, Chrome, Dolphin, Opera or
Boat, then? The process of finding the right browser for your Android
device may be an excruciating process. It will all depend on how, why,
when and where you are going to use it. Or you may have certain
characteristics that you would want to see
in a browser like speed, synching, navigation, RSS browsing, voice
control and other helpful and fun features. Searching and reading will
help you but the secret to choose the right browser is to try them on,
use it, compare them and then choose the right one. DOWNLOAD
