Top 10 Best Android Web Browsers

Web browsers are one of the most important apps on any device, accessing the web is a critical part of almost every device today, but a surprising number of users rarely use the browsers with their phone came with.

We decided to gather up ten of the best web browsers to help you decide whether or not what you're using right now is really the best option for you.




1). Google Chrome
 Of course we give the obligatory nod to the most popular browser on Android and that’s Chrome browser. It offers direct syncing with your desktop version by logging into Google along with a competent browsing experience. It has some swipe navigation, an unlimited number of browser tabs, and it is a very solid and stable experience. Also, if you’re going for the all Google experience, this is the browser you want.

2). Opera Browser
 We’ve reviewed Opera Browser a bunch of times and that’s because it’s a really nice browser. It has all the features you’d expect in a browser with a relatively quick browsing experience. There are theres and add-ons as well as the Speed Dial and Discover features to help give you a more entertaining browsing experience. It’s definitely worth a shot.

3). Firefox
 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, its tabs helps you get right back to what you were doing if you had to put your phone down. It 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.

4). Dolphin Browser for Android
 Dolphin is one of the only browsers with its own theme engine. You can customize your browsing experience however you choose, and the entire experience is free. If you need desktop sync but aren't a fan of the big names offering the service, Dolphin is absolutely worth a look.

The folks behind Dolphin browser started out on mobile devices, and as a result their sync features extend to all of the popular desktop browsing experiences. dolphin has also grown up right alongside Android, It has a custom voice search and browse feature, gesture controls to access sites you frequently visit, and a third party add-on service with plenty of extra options.

5). Boat Browser/Mini
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.

6). Next Browser
 As with most of these browsers, Next Browser focuses on speed. Unlike many of these browsers, it does this quite well. It also boasts a small footprint so it’s ideal for older devices who want better browsing without the more bloated options. There are add on options if you need them but overall this is a very nice browser.

7). UC Browser
 Last on our list is the venerable UC Browser. This browser has fairly impressive performance and, based on the sites it recommends when you open it, is targeted to people not in the United States which is actually quite refreshing. It includes some features like speed mode which helps you browse even faster and auto pager which loads multiple pages at once so multi-page articles are easier to read.

8). Maxthon Browser
 Maxthon Browser used to carry a little flack because it has been included as bundled software on devices before but we assure you, it isn’t bloatware. Maxthon has a lot of features and most of them are behind the scenes, leaving you with just the web browsing. There are add-ons supported and it is a solid browsing experience.

9). Link Bubble Browser
It doesn't matter how fast your mobile web browser is or how great your mobile data connection is, there's always going to be some delay between pressing a link and getting the content you want. You tap the link, and are whisked away to another app to wait while the page loads. Chris Lacy had another thought for how a web browser should behave, and he called it Link Bubble.

The concept is unbelievably simple — when you tap a link for something you want to read, the browser loads in the background and creates a bubble for the website you want to go to. While the page loads in the background, you can continue doing whatever you were doing before and check out that bubble when it's ready to go. It's a clever browsing experience for just about any situation, but is particularly useful if you aren't constantly on the fastest Internet around and would like to load your pages before leaving your fast connection. It requires a little mental adjustment to adapt to the slightly different workflow, but if you can manage the experience is in a class by itself.

10). Baidu Browser
 First up is Baidu browser. In terms of looks it looks like what you’d except out of a browser. You can have windowed tabs or actual tabs at the top if you prefer. There is also a night mode, swipe navigation, a decent list of tools and actions to perform, and even a floating icon that lets you open the browser from anywhere. It performed as well as you can expect from a browser and it has a strong feature set that can compete with others.
