Still using the Android browser?
You’re missing out. Android users can choose from a google play store with a wide variety of browser, bringing a richer mobile Web experience to your smartphone or tablet. We considered Android’s top third-party browsers, Firefox and Opera, along with relative underdog Dolphin, Microsoft (Edge), Uc, and Samsung Internet then tested and compared them to Chrome to see which one deserves to be the default choice on your smartphone.
Interface (30 points)
With increase no. of smart-phones A mobile browser that’s laid out well maximizes your phone’s experience so you can see more at a glance. Since you’re mostly going to use your phone with one hand, button placement and navigational components also affect how easily and quickly you can surf the Web with now with mobile-friendly websites.
Chrome first look
Thanks, all seven browsers keep their interfaces relatively free of clutter, but some do this more elegantly than others. All 7 browser make use of just one URL-and-Search bar accompanied by a Tabs button on the top.
Refresh button at the end of its Omnibar And/Or gesture of up and down/ left to right. With voice command, so you can surf the web without touch your smartphone. Offline save the page to save data, Incognito mode (except Samsung Internet browser) with do not save any data, Add block(Firefox having in Addon), Find in page to find any word and sentence which see in search engine website descriptions.
Dolphin Android browser first look
Chrome and Firefox having functions at the top of the browse. It is too long for thumb use function. Another browser having function buttons at bottom with 5 icons but Samsung Internet browser with 6 feature look impressive and utilize space and making crowding free.
Chrome and Firefox having Tab Function at the top right side of the browse. It is too long for thumb use function because of increasing phone display size.
Edge Android browser first look
Chrome, Dolphin, and Microsoft Edge have a dynamic URL-and-search bar. It is too impressive comfortable to simply search or paste URL in one hand mode, dolphin URL-and-search bar upper than chrome and Microsoft Edge.
All browser automatically hide their top bars after you scroll down the page, providing more room to enjoy your content while Dolphin’s bar is persistent.
Firefox Android browser first look
Opera and Uc lead the way in tab management, bringing up your open pages in a carousel docked in a slide-down panel that takes up about half the screen. Each thumbnail in this carousel shows a title and preview of the website, and you can easily scroll through these previews to look for the page you want.
Chrome’s and Samsung Internet’s cards arrangement stacks your open sites on top of each other and only lets you see a preview of four at a time.
Opera Android browser first look
Firefox and Samsung Internet browser displays your tabs in two columns
— preview on the left and page title on the right. You can see up to four previews at a time without scrolling, and your most recent tab is docked at the bottom. While this isn’t the most effective use of the real estate, we like how clean and aesthetically pleasing Firefox’s setup looks.
Dolphin change their tab (employs a traditional desktop) saw in the top bar with the option on user's hand and give separate functions to see all tab open, This makes it a user-friendly to find the specific page you want and close tab.
Samsung Internet Android browser first look
Showing an understanding of the many ways people use their mobile devices, Opera offers three different layouts: Phone, Classic and Tablet. Phone view devotes more of your screen to page content by using just one navigation bar at the top. Classic is made for one-handed viewing and offers easy-to-reach buttons at the bottom. Tablet mode puts your tabs at the top as if on a desktop, to give you an overview of and convenient access to your open pages.
We also like the placement of Opera’s, Edge's and Dolphin's settings menu; opera's docked to a corner of the screen with taking up the bottom centre. Opera’s menu is also effectively laid out, but we prefer Opera’s choice of location for its menu (top right as well as a bottom right corner) because Edge having the limited feature in the top right corner.
UC Android browser first look
Using icons in a grid pattern to maximize space. Dolphin, Samsung Internet and UC offers a grid-based settings menu setup but Dolphin having top right corner menu, too,
Both Firefox and Chrome use a more traditional menu and tab menu above and displays options in rows. Firefox’s share option in the menu will split over time to show your favourite sharing tool for easier access, which is a nice touch.
Chrome, Opera, UC and Edge having voice commands right side of URL-and-Search bar make voice search easy and comfortable. While Dolphin, Firefox, and Samsung Internet hide voice command and show when clicking on URL-and-Search bar.
Firefox, Edge, opera having simpler to switch Incognito mode with a tab open but crome, Uc and Dolphin to make little complex. Uc and Dolphin need to search for this function when you use it the first time.
winner
Opera.
Opera’s carousel for tabs and multiple layout modes give it the edge (30 points).

Special Features (20 points)
Android browsers pack a lot more special features than their counterparts on iOS or Windows 8, but which of these works well and is really useful?
Across the board, all the browsers offer the features you’ve come to expect, such as private browsing, history and data clearing, gesture support and speed-dial navigation.
Dolphin gesture Special Feature
Some other features are less common, such as Dolphin’s Gesture shortcuts. We really liked being able to go directly to pages such as YouTube or Google by just drawing the letter Y or G respectively (you can assign your own letters), especially when we were in a hurry. Unfortunately, you’ll have to go through some steps (tap the menu, hit the gestures button) before you can draw the shape to trigger the page load, making this feature less effective.
Opera Theme, App Layout and Toolbar
Opera stands out for its thoughtful features, including different layouts, Theme and Toolbar optimized for use cases such as Toolbar hide, Tablet and Phone and Light Thee. An Off-Road mode compresses images before loading them so you can save on data use and get pages to load faster.
Despite the intense competition in this round, Firefox proves it has much more to offer. With this open-source browser, you can save a page as a PDF document and start a Guest session. We found the Guest session feature very useful because it creates a separate browsing session that’s free of history and bookmarks. This way, you can hand your phone off to a friend without worrying about her coming upon your previous searches for “cute cat videos” or “Miley Cyrus ‘We Can’t Stop.'”
Android browser Add-Ons features
A handy Reading List feature lets you save articles you can’t get to at the moment so you can pick them up later. Better yet, Firefox offers the ability to install add-ons that expand the functionality of the browser, with extensions such as Tap-Translate, AdBlock Plus, HTTPS Everywhere and Lightweight Themes Switcher. Mozilla also offers a Health Report that tells you how certain add-ons or apps affect the performance of your browser.
Opera Free Vpn
Improve your privacy and security with our built-in and free VPN. Turn on Opera VPN in private mode and your IP address will be replaced with simple as tapping a button not required a signup or Register a virtual one to help you avoid unintended location and identification information sharing.
Android Browser Night Mode
Night mode provides you with adjustable lighting options to get the most comfortable reading experience in the dark and the least eye strain. Night mode is easily accessible from the main menu.
winner
Opera
With Tablet mode, Add-ons,Nightmode and Vpn that actually expand the functionality of your browser, Firefox beats the competition in this round.
Standards Support (15 points)
Better standards support means that browsers are more capable of delivering Web elements or tools to your phones, such as HTML5’s drag-and-drop or CSS3’s background formats. We tested the browsers via HTML5test.com, Peacekeeper (HTML5) and CSS3test.com to see how well they supported each standard.
When it came to HTML5 performance, Samsung Internet, register score of 507(achiever)
chrome and Opera, which scored 504 (runner up)
Edge, Dolphin and Firefox score 499, 497, 494 respectively and
last UC score 483
On Peacekeeper, however, Opera took the lead by completing five out of seven tests, while Chrome completed only three. Firefox finished four of the tests but took longer to complete them, while Dolphin blazed through the benchmark but could only handle two of the tests.
Chrome, Opera, Dolphin and Edge continue to tussle for standards support dominance in the CSS3 arena with a score of 67% (per cent) on the CSS3test.com.Firefox First with a score 69% (per cent), while Samsung Internet and Uc languished with 56% per cent and 52% per cent Respectively.

Some browsers also support less-common standards that can enhance your experience. Opera and Firefox both offer video chats within the browser through the WebRTC (Real-Time Communication) standard.
winner
Chrome.
Chrome wins by virtue of its higher score on the HTML 5 test and better support for CSS3.
Syncability (20 points)
Sometimes you start reading a long article on your mobile device when you’re on the go and want to continue reading it from a comfortable, larger screen once you get home. A good mobile browser can make that transfer process easier with seamless syncing functions.
sync chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet
All four of the browsers we tested offer some form of syncing, but some let you share more content across more platforms. With Chrome, you can sync tabs, history, preferences, bookmarks and passwords across any signed-in device.
When you sign into Chrome, your bookmarks, passwords, and settings will be automatically synced across all your devices. You can seamlessly access all your information from your phone, tablet, or laptop.
sync Dolphin, Firefox, opera
Give yourself access to all your bookmarks, Speed Dial shortcuts and open tabs from your other devices with Opera. Opera on Android can now easily sync with the Opera browser for computers.
Opera says the feature should work “even if you’re using another browser,” but during our testing with Chrome on an iOS device and a Windows 7 laptop, the tool did not work, showing instructions pages instead of Speed Dial, Bookmarks and Notes.
sync UC
Sync your history, bookmarks, and passwords. Plus, easily open and push tabs and websites across Android, iPhone, iPad, mobile & pc browser including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari using Dolphin Connect. You can even enjoy content pushed from the desktop browser with flash player for Android.
Your favourites, passwords and reading list are synced across your devices, so no matter the device, your browser is always personalised to you.
All Browser Work best in sync data.
winner
All Browse
All Browser offers real cross-platform compatibility and lets you sign in with more pre-existing accounts. All New feauture in All device or not work properly.
Verdict
With a clean interface, blazing speeds and excellent standards support, this one’s a no-brainer. Opera beat its competition by sticking to its essential functions and doing those well. We liked runner-ups Firefox and Chrome for their special features and slick performance, but it isn’t much you’ll miss on Opera. The less-known Dolphin proves itself a worthy contender, providing great speed, though it doesn’t have the best support. Dolphin’s special features are also fun but seem a tad gimmicky.
Those obsessed with privacy can look to All browser, which offers a Guest mode and more Do Not Track options. But if you’re looking for a browser that performs well and is thoughtfully built, you can’t go wrong with Opera for Android.
