>>
>>55468503
Lightning or Naked.
Both are very lightweight, although the ui in lightning is MUCH better than naked.

I personally use tugabrowser since it has built in ad blocking and is also probably the fastest mobile browser. Isn't very lightweight though as it is based on chromium.

>>
>>55468606
>what is tugabrowser
no addons but it has built in adblocking and if you combine that with adaway or minminguard there is no need for addons.

Any browser that comes with an up to date engine and/or doesn't make you manally update webview.

I tried it the other day with my new microG setup, that browser's UI is really fucking smooth, and pages load just as quick as Chrom/ium. I haven't checked the memory usage, but it's really fucking decent.

More updates couldn't hurt, though.


Naked is also a viable alternative for people with older phones, or just people who want even more performance out of their browsers.

>>55463986

Pure chromium is slower than caf builds
Tugabrowser is updated regularly (last update on june 18th) even if they are based on old chrome versions. So far there haven't been any major changes in chrome so even if the browser is a bit "outdated" it isn't missing anything.

Also, I've gotten so used to the faster speed that I can't switch back to anything else. I've tried using lightning several times but it is noticeably slower than Tuga.

I know Chrome is likely sending your browsing history/metadata back to Google regardless of your settings, but are you safe from that aspect of the botnet by using these other browsers like Lightning? Or can Android grab the data from there too, just as if you were using Chrome?
>>
>>55503679
Chrome doesn't send specific stuff back to Google services unless you sign in. If you have Google Play Services installed, everything on your phone is being sent back to Google. You know when you get a notification and it has the content of a private text you just got? That text was captured by Google Play Services and sent to Google.

That's what you get for installing a system-wide root-level service by Google on your phone.

Downloaded Lightning yesterday just to try and it's pretty good so far.
It just doesn't have a back/forward option like so many other shit mobile browsers.

Sure, there's the back button on the phone, but I want a forward option too. For that reason alone I've stuck with the stock Samsung browser for so long. Safari has it in iPhones, why is a forward option so much to ask for?

Just got Tuga because people in this thread said they like it.
It's fast as fuck, and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm sure I'll start to find things about it that bother me eventually

It's better than Lightning, and easily the best CAF browser.

It's pretty much the best android browser out there, download crystal and you'll have adblock too

I use Google Chrome as my main browser for all devices, I just like it the most and it is the quickest out of them all.
Only downside is that there are no extensions, or at least I don't know how to add them.

Stock Samsung browser is so good, I forget it's a Samsung thing, so people with other brands probably haven't tried it.

It should be ported to other phones.

Anon 1 says he likes Chrome
Anon 2 says he likes Firefox more because ublock
Anon 1 (potentially a third but it's irrelevant) says there is another way to block add
Anon 2 says anon 1 has autism for not using Firefox, which is a shitty browser, at least on mobile, when he admits that the only reason to do so is to use /gee/'s preferred meme ad blocker.
I pointed this out.

if you could read replies you would understand that I could read replies.

No other browser on mobile will be quite as laggy or buggy either! I'm switching right now!

All of Google's services has telemetry, fingerprinting, datamining of your activiies in encoded into their software. Rather it's GAPPs or not.

If even you use an Iphone, and post on this board. Google can easily tell that your shitposting on your Iphone.

>That's what you get for installing a system-wide root-level service by Google on your phone.

You don't get the choice to "install" Gapp. Google forces to developers and OEMs to bundle GAPPs. Every single Android with Stock Rom has GAPPs bundle on it. That said, you can remove it.
