Stock browser or chrome?

[komobu]

How do you get to your book marks in chrome android?

I have been looking for an android browser that would allow me to put visable bookmarks accross the top and havent found one yet

I hope Verizon includes the stock browser.

I like the stock browser for general internet surfing, especially with the ad block plug in. I do use chrome for a few tasks still because of the desktop integration.

Where do you find the plug-in/add-onn feature?? For the life of me I can't find it. By any chance was that feature added with the Marshmallow update? Because I've been postponing the install forever since I knew I'd be getting the N7 & didn't want to have to mess with anything it might break that close to getting a new phone.

I used to use Google Chrome on Note 4, but now I use the stock Samsung browser. Ever since they updated the browser and with the addition of adblock, it's better than Chrome.

Samsung because of ad-block. No complaints. Battery life is apparently better as well.

Been a Chrome addict since it became available.
But, on my N5, I moved to stock b/c of ad-blocking (works great) and its superior speed.

Now you guys have me thinking of checking it out again. I have always used and loved Chrome. Is the stock browser that much faster? Is it really noticeable? And which ad blocker do you use with it?

Ad block plus for Samsung browser is what I use.

I use 'adblock fast'. As for speed, I believe it's faster than Chrome, although I haven't done any testing. Most importantly it's been reported that battery life is better as well.

I've disliked every Android browser I've tried honestly. I've settled on Chrome so far, but I still don't like it. I'm definitely gonna try the stock one to see how I like it. Especially if the ad blocker works well.

I have have tried just about every one out there, but they all have good and bad features.

I really liked Dolphin, but they seemed to have pulled a lot of the features in the last few years.

I actually liked the stock browser that came with the Note 5.

Thanks. Gonna give this a shot I think.

Is there a Last Pass extension for mobile browsers?

I think it's better due to the adblock add on (Adblock fast). This will help load Web pages faster and etc.. If anything, the stock browser is faster or as fast as chrome. Only time I use chrome now is for backup.

I don't like OEM stock apps, so I'll use Chrome and any other Google services instead of their Samsung counterparts.

Chrome is an awful browser. I use Firefox.

I recommend ad block fast. Download ad block fast from the play store. After that, go into Samsung internet. Click on more>Settings>advanced>block content. Then slide till it says on. Select ad block fast and you are all set. Reboot device and that is all. It is available for Samsung browser 4.0 and newer.

There are advantages to both. I will probably end up using Chrome the most, but the ad blocker in the Samsung browser is appealing.

 

[Ronny James]

I prefer everything samsung lol i always use their stock browser

 

[eddiepearson]

Great topic! I've always wondered which one people prefer.

 

[msokad]

Chrome all the way.

I used to really like Dolphin with Jetpack, but the past few months it seems to have gotten really janky with me.

I was a chrome guy, until recently, but I realized that I rarely cross platform sync, so that part of chrome is worthless. This website and forum would fight with me, and it turns out it was the ads that locked up chrome. Stock browser ad blocking has been a joy, and I gotta say, I'm falling in love with fingerprint passwords.

Hmm, thanks for that reminder. Yet another reason for me to try the Samsung browser.

How does that work though? For example, if I need to login to ... Android Central, we'll say. I need to enter my login and password the first time, I assume. Browsers can be set to remember logins/passwords for sites anyway, so I assume the Samsung browser can (correct me if I am wrong). So how would having fingerprint login help me with Android Central in this instance? I must be missing something...
