Privacy Browser from F-Droid.

Thank god. I searched for hours for a good browser but they all had a bunch of crap incorporated into them.
>>
Chrome
>>
>>54175914
Samsung's stock with AdBlock Fast or Crystal is amazing.
Naked Browser is pretty good and the developer is a /g/ user. You should support him, he's a cool guy.
>>
Lightning Browser
>>
Naked browser. Best thing ever.
>>
Naked browser is God tier.
>>
>>54175914
tor
adblock
>>
Naked is the fastest but very bare-looking, lightning is also excellent and has a much better interface
>>
>>54175914
i'm using UC Browser and it looks good
>>
>>54175914
opera
>>
>>54176137
Fuck off, your browser is shit.
>>
Caf is by far the fastest on snapfaggot phones.
Easily 30% faster than chrome.
Rbrowser is caf based, others are not on the store.

UC is Chinese spyware you shill/sucker

I tried naked and it crashed at least 3 times a day. Switched to Lightning
>>
>>54181009
Other way around for me. Naked basically never crashes. Can't even download anything with Lightning because it instantly crashes.
>>
>buddy at work keeps on wanting me to try out brave
>has everyone else in the office using it "because it has adblock on by default
>it runs like shit on my nexus 6

Sticking with Naked. Thanks.

The only thing I'd ask for about Naked is a new default icon. God damn is it ugly.
>>
Chrome is pretty fast. Also custom tabs are really really nice. And since I use Canary on my desktop I can make use of the sync feature pretty well. I might switch to Firefox if I ever use a phone without root though because that way I could at least use uBlock.
>>
Ligthning is open source and about as fast as Naked. It also has a better UI. Not a difficult choice if you ask me.

I also recommend Gapps browser to use occasionally for its intended purpose.
>>
>>54176071
this.
Lightning too
>>
>>54181332
Chrome seriously isn't fast. The performance problems it has are obvious.
>>
>>54181610
I only compared it to Firefox and it's definitely faster than that. I don't really want to use a different browser due to lack of sync.
>>
wget

>>54181056
Are you using Marshmallow? If so you need to give it storage permissions manually.

>>54181621

Oh duh, thanks for the tip. But really it should be handled more gracefully by the dev, no? I'm staying on NB Pro. Pic related

Chrome if you use Google's search features.

install opera

Naked Browser is the lightest of all the Android browsers (less than a megabyte), however it sadly isn't the fastest. Puffin is a better bet when it comes to performance, but it's also very resource intensive.
Naked Browser isn't that lightweight in terms of RAM, either.
Check out these synthetic and real world benchmarks. Puffin absolutely kills it while Naked Browser provides mediocre speed.

>>54175914

Raw speed is naked. Raw speed with actual useful features is Lightning. I just use Chrome since I use it on the desktop too and I like the sync capabilities.
>>
AOSP browser is snappy enough for me. never bothered to look any further.
>>
>>54189218
Yeah, I saw that it completely failed the fluidity test but, come on, it's 640% faster in synthetic benchmarks and has 167% faster load times. It crushes all of the other browsers in all the performance benchmarks except for that one. Doesn't that kind of make up for the choppiness?
>>
>>54189879
And the fact that it is spyware?
>>
>>54189886
Well, I haven't seen any proof of that, but I guess if it's not open source then it's pretty much impossible to know if it's spyware.
