It can't into scaling pages. Try opening archwiki and you'll see what I mean. Moreover, it doesn't allow scrolling with volume buttons

You're still using a google OS regardless. You think they would not have a backdoor?

why do people keep making these threads? it's Lightning at that's the end of it. Shame for you it doesn't work in 0.001% of websites.

I use Opera because it's the ONLY browser that has text wrap on zoom. Firefox has an extension but it doesn't work on the new Firefox builds. No other browser has this incredibly fucking useful feature and I can't drop Opera because of it.
>>
>>54795346
Its not as if I had choice... Besides, its open source so I think I shouldn't be so worried about backdoors.

Fast, light, not botnet. It's also recommended on the wiki. You should read up. Lots of good stuff there.

It's still a personal tracking device.
>>
>>54795685
This stuff isn't all or nothing. Okay sure, it's a personal tracking device and my service provider knows where I am. That doesn't mean I should bend over and take Jewgle's dick. That's like saying if you run windows for something, you might as well upgrade to Windows 10 with all the telemetry on.

meaning if a site has an application (say, youtube) that you have installed, it will ask you if you want to open it in the app or in the browser. most other browsers don't do that.

If it's so great, tell me why it always opens an additional tab I don't want when I open the app. Tell me why it doesn't let you choose search engines unless you know the url. Tell me why no one else wants to use it.

GNU is the important part. Swap out the GNU for the google botnet. Go jump.

Samsung's image editor is good enough for me. I use it because it's already bloatware and it's simple.

The new tab + keyboard on launch is convenient as fuck. You can start typing, tap a bookmark or history, and get going in an instant. Pro version of Naked trumps all.

Rsbrowser or any other snapdragon optimized chromium fork. Faster than any other browser you can get on Android, and its for this reason I won't buy any phone without a snapdragon chip.

The only problem I have with Naked Browser (pro version here as well) is that when you open it up before you connect to wifi it closes the keyboard when the wifi connects. I'll admit it's my mistake but it has gotten me alot of times because I'm so used to the keyboard opening right away

Also on my trashy old phone that runs old android it was the fastest browser
