Firefox is my preferred browser, but to be honest I rely more on a desktop PC than my phone for most web browsing. Still, the sync functionality between Firefox on my desktop, laptop, and phone make it easier to bounce in between one or the other.

Stock chrome for me. If it ain't broke why change? does everything I need, so I'm happy. I know some use the 'brave browser' and 'Link bubbles' since its got a built in ad blockers, but I'm so used to ads at the moment, I almost don't notice them anymore lol. Just blends in with the background.

I always go back to Chrome, but man, I just found that it was draining my battery today

I like Chrome mainly because of synchronization between laptop and phone.

Yeah web browsers in general can really tap a battery pretty hard. But for the most part browsers are working pretty hard in the background, we just see what gets shown on the screen but there's typically a lot of stuff going on we don't see. Almost any web site today will have the main page with a collection of its own varied content (text and images), plus a lot of content being pulled in from ads, contextual info, and other animations from other, miscellaneous servers that might be located not just miles away but in another country. So just clicking on a link is essentially linking your phone to multiple servers in multiple locations, with our browsers rendering all that content into a web page we see on our screens, if you have multiple tabs open that's a lot of processing being used up from your phone's system resources.
Anyway, try going into your Settings >> Application manager, find the Chrome app, and 'Clear cache' to see if that helps any.

Just recently switched to this and now understand how much ad blocking can really speed things up. Really enjoying it so far. Thanks!

I use Chrome but it lags and stutters a lot on the G6. Anyone else?

Chrome lags on most phones, got to use different browser with ad blocker. That speeds up a lot.

 

[jhilker]

Chrome Beta here. Haven't noticed any lag yet...

 

[Thud Hardsmack]

Chrome beta.

I tried Brave as mentioned earlier, but it didn't work as advertised. Pun intended.
