Why is the browser situation so terrible on Android, /g/?
How is Chrome terrible?
>>54846322
Samsung's default with AdBlock Fast or Crystal is amazing.
Naked Browser is all you need.
>>54846322
Uh, have you tried Firefox Beta yet?
I use it, it's good.
This is coming from a guy who uses a $50 Amazon craplet with CM12.1.
>>54846412
Does it still have that shitty inertial scroll and poor rendering compared to webkit?
I use Palemoon; it's actually quite good.
>>54846560
It's just Firefox with meme status.

Eh, it works well for me.

Dropped
>>54846783
The whole problem with Firefox was runaway development for no reason. Now it's just NotChrome and they're even getting rid of extensions. As long as they keep adding security fixes, it doesn't NEED anything else, it already does what it fucking needs to. Don't fix what ain't broke.
You've been missing out desu senpai

lightning and naked pro.
On Android
Firefox Nightly is awesome.
Firefox has the Stylish addon.
It also has a user script addon
- usi (User|Unified Script Injector) :: Add-ons for Firefox for Android - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/userunified-script-injector/
It also has ublock origin.
Chrome with ChromePie is elder god tier
No reason to use anything else
Im pretty sure Dolphin is the definition of a botnet, but it's pretty damn fast
>>54846970
Lightning is literally rebranded Chrome with a slightly faster UI
Speaking of Firefox, how do you get rid of those bullshit share icons? They randomly popped up for me one day
IceCat. Browser with a cat in the logo!
>>54846937
Looks like a browser made by a retard
>>54847428
Not really, no. Give a try
>>54848251
Does it block ads?
They should make a mobile Pale Moon browser.
>>54846465
yes its fucking garbage
>>54848305
Uh...they do

What addons do you need to use on a phone? You can use Adaway or ABP as an app.
>>54848381
>Just fucking use Chrome already
Nice try, Jew
>>54846322
Firefox is fine
>>54848494
Firefox is dogshit on Android.
>>54849882
>>54849882
it's find just takes a little while to load pages. as a person who doesn't use their smartphone as a PC replacement, it doesn't bother me at all
>>54850213
>it's find just takes a little while to load pages
It's garbage. You are defending crap because the desktop version is good.
>>54846373
This
Naked browser gets the job done and is extremely reliable and lightweight. If there was a version of this for pc i would use it.
>>54847036
and so what? everything is something else improved or worsened.
in this case, improved.
and it resembles more the default android ~4.0 browser
Lightning and Firefox beta are good
I use Sleipnir, very rarely crashes even with 10 tabs constantly open. I can't live without the gestures either. What browsers on Android have gestures?
>>54846322
Use Tint Browser, it has an ad block plugin and a few others. Or Lucid Browser

Just set this up, it's amazing. Thank you, anon.
Trying out Cornowser. Weird name, I know. Its from XDA and its open sauce. Its based on chromium/crosswalk.
Seems decent so far. Chromium is a laggy/buggy POS on my Moto G. Chrome causes random reboots.
github.com/xdevs23/Cornowser
>>54846322
Opera mobile. It's the only thing I've used since 2012 and only gets better
>>54851666
>Cornowser
lol
>>54851732
I just downloaded Opera, and holy shit it's good.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox. Firefox was laggy as fuck and Chrome downloaded wedsites ages.
>>54851837
What phone? Firefox wasn't noticeably laggier than Chrome on my Gnex, so I have a hard time seeing the issue. Obviously even less of an issue now that I've finally upgraded to a 5X. Add-ons acting up?
>>54846322
Use Chromium
>>54846322

>>54852929
Where is Chromium for Android?
>>54853099
It's shit
>>54853337
f-droid
>>54854395
>>54852929
Chromium is useless without extension support or even built in ad-blocking.
The only browser anyone should be using is a CAF snapdragon browser desu.
Uh opera maybe? Jeesh, using that right now.
It even has data saving capabilities
>>54850287
Likewise
>>54846322
Naked Browser is pretty good.
>>54846343
The "tabs" desu. Where the fuck are they? They should be accessible directly from the browser interface itself
>>54854609
They fucking are, just like in almost every other browser.
>>54854551
>fell for the CAF meme
>install it on two snapdragon devices
>crashes on startup
Yeah no fuck off with that buggy shit
>>54855018
What curry rom are you running?
>>54846373
Interface could use a bit of an overhaul imo, it's a bit fiddly to use, but otherwise it's great.
Not keen on the name either. Always afraid people will think it's just for porn
>>54855870

>>54846322
Chrome, Firefox and Opera run butter smooth on my 900mb ram shitdroid. Maybe you should stop visiting shit sites and/or spending so much time browsing on a minuscule screen.
>>54855904
Haha, this is actually why I don't use it, too normie to bother having people asking me if I have a porn app.
>>54854492
There's no point in using extensions on a phone and you can use Adaway.
>>54856328
Adaway is shit compared to uBlock
>>54856328
>having to root to block ads
no
What's Gello like?
>>54854609
>I'm a retard who can't find the settings menu
>>54846373
I hate the way it handle tabs
>>54848278
You disable javascript to do that
>check out Chome again
>it STILL doesn't have text reflow
How can anyone use such dogshit instead of Opera?
I actually want to join the botnet, have all my shit in one place, to not have to worry about maintaining this, or backing up that, manually doing this, keeping this separate from that etc.
But I can't read tiny fucking text on my phone, or keep going from side to side just to read a web page paragraph comfortably. Isn't Opera even based on the Chrome engine? So how do they have text reflow perfected while Chrome doesn't even have it at all?
>>54856395
Since when did /g/ hate rooting their phones?
IceCat mobile is fast as fuck on my Nexus 6.
>>54856392
Why not both? AdAway for in app ads, and uBlock for HTTP.
>>54858361
Since it stopped being needed for anything other than Adblock
>>54846322
caf chromium m46 builds are amazing. on snapdragon devices, no other browser is optimized.
>>54855018
i think you're the only person on planet earth with this problem.
Firefox takes ages to load something and it always blurs the rest of the page when not looking at but good thing it has extensions
>>54850287
>If there was a version of this for pc i would use it.
Many webkit browsers are similar. Try Midori
>>54854609
Is in the settings

If you are running a SnapDragon Device, I recommend a Caf Chromium Browser build like Tuga Browser, YuBrowser or RsBrowser. All of them come with built-in adblocker and are optimized for said chips. Other Browsers I recommend are Lightning Browser from fdroid, and the Gello Browser from Apk Mirror.
>pie controls in AOSP for 5 years
>Still need to root device to use them for anything
WHY FUCKING WHY ITS LITERALLY PERFECT AND LITERALLY EVERY OEM HAS DECIDED TO THROW THEM AWAY
>>54846373
I used this on my old S4, but switched when I got an S7 cause it seems the only way to open the menu is to use the phones menu key, which the S7 doesn't have. Maybe I'm wrong though.
At the moment I'm using opera. It's layout is pretty nice and useful if you like to browse with one hand.
Chromium just bypassed my hosts file. How's that possible?
>>54862462
Sounds like you have compression enabled.
>>54862736
Damn, right! Thx hon.
>>54846359
Underrated as fuck.

Android fails again
Does anyone know how Lightning's inbuilt adblocker work? Is it just a hosts file?
>>54863284
caf chromium slap everything. you're delusional.
>>54863320
All versions of that have some kind of problem
>>54863328
nope.
>>54854609
Goodness me.
I just tried Opera based off a few posts in this thread and I gotta say I'm impressed. It seems like it has the best stuff of all the other browers in one. (Data compression of chrome, lightweightness of lightning, good UI like firefox)
You guyz should try it
>>54864568

You could use Adaway, granted it's kind of dumb to have to root to block ads

Rooting voids warranty completely, and even if you flash back to stock they still will reject your warranty claim because they will be able to tell if you rooted your phone or added a custom ROM.
Rooting isn't bad unto itself, it's because you can't claim warranty after doing so that is the problem.
>>54858397
Custom Roms

Of course it does. It uses a proxy 24/7 that records where you go online.

Just because the chino's own opera does not make it chink shit.

its foss, you can grab it in f-droid. runs really well and doesn't break shit nearly as much as i expected it to
YuBrowser
Going to report this thread the next time I see it for spam because you post it multiple times every day, every time it dies, and you samefag it with airplane mode to make sure it doesn't die until it's at autosage.
>>54868575
Yubrowser is buggy shit, not even open source. Go back to your pony threads.
>>54865506
Rooting, or rather unlocking the bootloader, does not inherently void any warranty. Some (most) manufacturers have decided that it does, but it's not universal. Exceptions include I believe Nexus and Oneplus phones.
>>54869047
I dont want to root, though
>>54869755
Different matter altogether, no?
>>54869765
I shouldnt have to root to block ads.
>>54869927
You should have to if you want to do it through the hosts file. Otherwise, you don't have to, as long as you use software that lets you. Firefox with Ublock Origin, for instance.
Still unsure how we went from warranties to this, but guess I'll just roll with it.
Lightning is GOAT

Good lord, no. Android is far from ideal but at least people get more control over their own phones with it than they would with most other alternatives, BB included.
>>54846322
I use Firefox on a freaking 2011 Galaxy Nexus and although it's not fast, it's perfectly usable.
I imagine it's pretty darn fast on modern smartphones.
>>54865506
>Rooting voids warranty completely
In what kind of shithole do you live in?
>>54871598
Can confirm what this Anon says. I was using a Gnex as late as a couple of weeks ago. I tried a lot of different browsers on it, but stuck with Firefox because it wasn't really any slower than the others, except for the Top Sites view on the home page, which is easily removed from settings.
I removed it out of habit on the 5X I use now, but maybe I should see what it's like to use it. It is otherwise indeed as snappy as Anon suggests.
Naked Browser or Lightning?
>>54871685
>>54871598 anon here
Note that I use the OMAP4-AOSP Project ROM though. Which increases the available RAM of the Gnex from 694 MB on the stock ROM to 996 MB. It was a godsend to extend the life of my GNex.
>>54871810
Oh dang, that sounds pretty good. I'm meaning to keep my Gnex around for various tasks, so maybe I should look into that. Cheers, friend.
>>54871915
It's by far the best ROM I've used on it. Not only does the increase in RAM a huge different but it's also the most recent AOSP ROM 6.0.1
>>54871915
>>54873304
you guys are poor as fuck. a gnex is even slower than a moto g.
>>54871747
I personally prefer naked
But lightening seems fine, haven't used it too extensively
>>54873919
Can't be arsed to investigate about new phones when the Gnex does what I need it to do.
>>54873919
Moto G is worse than Gnex. Not having NFC would be such a pain.
You seem to have missed the part where I have a 5X now, for that matter. Although I'm not sure what our supposed poverty has to do with anything in the first place.
