Why are all Android web browsers complete pieces of shit?

Because android is a complete piece of shit.

>>54746530
nobody cares. a browser compiled for your specific chipset is always going to be stupidly smoother than some generic arm optimized pos. besides a phone is a gigantic botnet to begin with all the cell providers are just govt shells.

Lightning bruh.
Lightweight with built in adblock.
>>
>>54746921
meant for >>54746650

also the current yubrowser build is based on the m50 beta branch it's slow and laggy compared to m46. i highly suggest downloading an m46 based build instead. it's so god damn smooth on snapdragon
>>
>>54746957
Lightning browser crashes all the time now.
>>
>>54746556
That was actually helpful. Tried it and works seamlessly...
>>
Lightning
Firefox
Icecat
Orfox

Any of these are good
>>
>>54747026
Works on my machine
It's only frozen on certain sites while on a slow connection.

I just use Chrome. It's smooth enough, Chrome custom tabs are a great idea, and it crashes less than other browsers.

>>54747686
about:config, did you hear about it?

They're just slow and generally unusable because you are running a pajeet custom ROM

UC BROWSER

not even shilling, its pretty great desu.
Rendering is GOAT in speed mode and it lets you download videos directly from any video hosting website(jewtube,kissanime etc.) once you turn off the speed mode(tm).
Oh and did I mention FREE cloud storage ?

Naked browser, newfriend.

NakedBrowser, Lightning or Firefox/Opera if you prefer sync with desktop browser. I went full homo for Naked Browsers dev ,so I'm a little bit biased.
>>
>>54746975
Mind linking me to an m46 based build? Thanks.
>>
>>54751056
Just use RSBrowser.
>>
>>54751002
I love you too ;)
>>
>>54746460
Yes, they all suck.
I couldn't find one browser that can use its cache properly.
I don't care if it uses 1-2 gb of storage for that, I just want it to save the pages I open, and not reload them every fucking time.
>>
>>54752309
That's Android. It constantly shuts down apps, especially apps like browsers that tend to use lots of memory, so they have to restart when you resume.
>>
>>54751056
this one is good https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863139403

it's the most current m46 build

this one >>54751580 would probably suffice as well
>>
>>54752518
Yes, that's why I want it to save as much as possible into cache, and look there first before reloading.
Is it different in IOS?

code aurora forum chromium stable branch obsoleted all other browsers. if you aren't using a browser optimized for you're cpu, you may as well be playing around with your own feces. if you are using android and not snapdragon, i feel sorry for you. android is very poorly optimized without a snapdragon optimized browser. everything else will be extremely painful.
>>
>>54746460
Stock Samsung web browser is probably the best mobile web browser out there right now.

Chrome sucks ass tho
>>
>>54749728
Sadly I'm stuck with UC as all the others are even worse

On a related note, for viewing links I use Flynx, it is quite good. I replaced Link Bubble with it a few days ago because the last update broke it.

Is there a root way to add stuff like an adblock? Don't trust those "adblock browser" from the play store. Unless you guys got some recommendations?
>>
>>54757572
AdAway

>>54756890
Could you rewrite that in English?
>>
>>54757572
Firefox with uBlock works on Android. Only problem is it's slow.
>>
>>54757675
since english clearly isn't your first language perhaps you should ask someone who can read plain english to translate for your retarded ass
>>
because the web is shit
>>
Chrome is where it's at. Botnet or not all other browsers are trash.
>>
>>54757675
https://www.codeaurora.org/projects/all-active-projects/chromium-browser-snapdragon

here you can build it yourself or hunt down one of the precompiled builds somewhere else. i recommend the stable m46 branch. m42 is too old and m50 is beta and very laggy. m46 is insanely smooth, provided your cpu is snapdragon as these builds are specifically optimized for qualcomm snapdragon devices.
>>
I am a poorfage who just today bought first smartphone, ever

Holy fuck am i disgusted by it....literally every single thing asks permission to see all contact, modify usb storage and other ludicrous things

Second, what's with the browser, what's the best browser for mobile, why do we have 20 different browsers and not a single clear winner?

I took opera mini but it's literally ad fest below the search bar, wtf with that?
>>
>>54759257
Apps got to finance themselves somehow if they're not FOSS (go to F-droid) and shared out of pure love. The scary thing is if an app is free and you DONT see ads. Those are the ones that sell your data.

Firefox a buggy shit

Sure feels good to be on blackberry 10. Only wish I had an ad blocker that didn't require a proxy.

not sure if I should spend my hard earned 8€ google reward money on naked browser

does it have proper text scaling?
does it use the chrome webview?
why is the free version not compatible with my phones, but the paid version is?
>>
is there an android browser that lets me have one tab running youtube or some streaming site while i browse on another?
>>
>>54746460
Chrome is the only acceptable, but it's shit too.
>>
>>54746556
Literally webkit with a shit interface. It's no better than the stock browser.
>>
>>54759400
on do you re-open closed tab now?
>>
>>54759897
what?
>>
Firefox supports desktop addons, which means I can access exhentai on my phone and has background play for youtube videos.
Good enough.
>>
>>54759918
How do you re-open a tab you just closed, it used to be long tap on the + but now it' doesn't work anymore.

Lightning. Free and open source and integrated adblock.

>>54759681
Multi window. Touch wiz, LG interface or 5.1 and up custom Roms on any device that doesn't suck. If you're a nexusfag, N Preview 3 has near flawless multi window.

Seriously native popup window for media including porn. What kind of faggot would choose chrome over this.

Chromium, or one of the caf builds if you have a snapdragon phone. Or gello if you just want to install cyanogen.

>>54746460
Mobile firefox, while shit, is the only one with working extensions. A web browser without an ad blocker is deprecated, worthless technology.

CM browser ?

Default samshit browser works really well, as on opera too
