For Android users, Google Chrome is the default browser that is immediately installed when the device is turned on.
However, have you ever wondered what it's like to use a browser other than Chrome on an Android smartphone or tablet?
Unlike the iOS operating system on Apple devices, Google gives users the option to use their preferred web browser which can be downloaded via the Play Store.
Of the many apps on the Play Store, what browsers offer full features and are able to replace Chrome on an Android device?
Here are 3 alternative browser applications to replace Google Chrome on Android as quoted by Android Police on Monday (6/8/2020).
1. Mozilla Firefox
Currently, most browsers available for Android are based on Chromium, the open-source version of Google Chrome.
That means the current browser will load web pages and almost the same performance. However, Firefox is different from other Android browsers.
The browser made by Mozilla has a rendering engine made specifically, and is updated with the latest codebase.
Unlike previous versions, Firefox currently has fast performance and supports a limited set of extensions.
Interestingly, users can also synchronize all data in the desktop browser version of Firefox.
2. Dolphin Browser
Initially the Chrome browser that we used on Android was sufficient. However this has changed when using Dolphin.
Available free for Android, Dolphin is very fast when used to open site pages.
Navigating on each site can be done quickly, thanks to the easy-to-use browser user interface.
To make it easier to use the browser, Dolphin offers several fairly complete add-ons, such as Dolphin Translate, DolphinBattery Saver, Dolphin Tap Reload, and others.
3. DuckDuckGo
You probably already know, DuckDuckGo is a browser that focuses on privacy. However, did you know that the company also has a browser?
The DuckDuckGo browser on Android doesn't have too many features, but still can provide a pleasant experience while browsing the internet on a smartphone or tablet.
Even so, this browser will automatically block scripts that are able to track all browser usage activities.
Not only that, this browser will also immediately delete cookies every time you close a tab. Because it uses the default rendering engine Android, DuckDuckGo performance is able to side with Chrome.
