Web browsers for android all fucking suck. Don't get me

Web browsers for android all fucking suck. Don't get me wrong, iOS and WP10 are a lot shittier, but that's not the point.

Firefox
>slow as fuck

>crashy as fuck

Chromium

>no support for plugins

Default browser

Opera
>the same thing as chrome
>literal copy pasta source code

Chrome
>botnet
>ads everywhere
>slow as fuck

Am I missing something here? When are devs going to get off their asses and provide a browser actually worth anything?

Use chromium

Use adaway
The only thing you need is adblock, use adaway
dont need plugins. flash is dead

fennec is slow as fuck

Lighting is based on webview which renders like shit

I used Firefox, since Chrome was slow and had laggy scrolling.
Firefox's scrolling is choppy too, but it wasn't as bad as Chrome. But since I installed adaway, Chrome started to behave as it should (it's fluid now), but Firefox is as slow as it was.
Also it takes twice as long to load the page in Firefox, than it takes in Chrome. Fast scrolling in Firefox makes Fonts blurry and it takes ages for it to sharpen.
FF has higher battery usage. It's literally unusable.

So with AdAway Chrome is the best, it's the fastest, but coming from lumia 925, I'm pretty disappointed, because IE11 on WP is much better and more fluid in every possible way.

Firefox would be perfect if it didn't crash and had some way to backup all the files and settings as an apk so i can install my setup across devices...

You know on Android you can easily backup applications.
And Firefox has sync now as well.

Thats not the web browser's fault you fool. it renders the webpages the way they were designed. Just block them system wide with Adaway or stop using shitty ad ridden sites.

Use AdAway from f-droid. The only bad thing is that it works via a hosts file, so if you want to do any shopping then you'll get lots of unwanted blocking. I mean if you shop on Amazon and Newegg it'll work fine, but if you try to use shopping.google.com, the hosts file will block everything.

>Chrome renders things wrong
That's the website's fault for only testing their mobile site in Safari. To be fair, I've been seeing that less and less because people have realized that there are actually more Android users than iOS users. If you're a business website and your site doesn't work in mobile Chrome, then you're going to lose a lot of customers.

>I want addons
You're stuck with Firefox then.

Younger millenials use their phones as their main computers. It is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. They waste so much time trying to install custom shit on a very uncooperative proprietary system when they should just fucking use a computer and learn some real life skills. God I feel old.
>>
>>52111417
Owning a smart phone is even worse too, with respect to privacy at least. No idea why people think that they can somehow make a completely closed off OS like Android or iOS secure.

I use pale moon. It works just fine and has add on support, including as blockers.

Anyone here use the Samsung stock browser? It's forked from Chrome, just wondering if there's a reason to use this over botnet.
>>
>ads

Adaway needs root. If you can't root because of warranty/carrier install Adguard. Disable notifications, etc.

>fast browser

There can't be a faster android browser than ChromeDev. It works instantaneously, there's no bloat, not sure about add-ons, since I don't use any. It's the latest and the greatest Chrome version.

Chromium's on Android?

My browser works perfectly on Nexus 5.

Of course, the thing is still unusable for browsing, because of small screen and horrible input method (touchscreen).

You can remove/edit entries with another app called hosts editor.

How do I install naked browser? It says it's not compatible with my device.

Is there a non shitty Android browser that lets you upload pictures to 4chan?

Lightning, CM, and APUS don't work and I don't want to use Clover

You don't need a phone browser, just use apps for the website you want.

* No support for userscripts
* Crap at handling textareas with lots of text

Regardless, it is still better than the iPad.

Adaway and Dolphin. Dolphin is comfy to me so I just deal with the bugs. I prefer to use it in desktop mode; mobile browser format triggers me.

I use default Android browser on CM12.1 with blocked ads via hosts file. It loads pages pretty fast. The only downside is lack of privacy protecting extensions.

Early versions of KitKat have broken file upload on Webview thanks to Google prematurely switching to chromium

You forgot:
SElinux by default (like shit fedora distros)
everything mounted noexec (oh I'm sorry, you actually wanted to use your smart phone for something other than instagram?)
Namespace and tty change durring su that just completely fucks everything up
weird ass clossed source GPU drivers and ridiculus graphics api
not self hosting
source code needs 100GB to download and compiling it is a huge bitch
developer tools are 100s of MB (or it's over a gigabyte? can't remember, it was something retarded)
no relative mode mouse (which is the only thing that makes sense on capacitive touch screens)
retarded libc
2-7 times larger than most GNU/linux rootfs tars
worthless software ecosystem
I can keep going....
