What Is The Best Lightweight Browser For Android?

[A895]

Chrome feels clunky, Opera feels bloated, and Firefox can't handle video well. So what is the best lightweight browser for Android?

Have you tried UC browser?

Try CM browser. Seems really snappy.

Have you tried Opera Mini? Maxthon looks to be good as well. I am almost certain that there is a browser on the Play Store that is super lightweight with no nonsense. I'll take a look around and see if I can find it.

It is by far the best, but it is bloated.

Just started using cm browser after trying Firefox. Cm seems really well laid out and is much better than any of the other browsers I've tried. All I do really is read Yahoo and click bait articles.

I use CM Browser and like it quite a bit, it's clean and simple. I have it installed on my Kindle Fire too

I've found the stock Samsung browser (labeled "Internet") on my Note devices works best (ex. Note 2, Note 4, and OG Note 10.1).

Otherwise I've found Chrome lags too much, so I always end up not using it or disabling it if it's included on a device (ex. like my Note 4). Tried CM browser for a while, but ended up having an issue with it where it appeared to lock up my device where my only option was a master factory reset via the recovery console (see my thread here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/460294-had-hard-reset-recover.html). It may not have been CM browser, but I've had no issues since I've stopped using it. I have Firefox installed as an alternate/secondary browser if needed (ex. for multi-window stuff). It works ok, but like Chrome tends to use too much RAM memory and lags.

In the end, I like to use the K.I.S.S. principle, so I've yet to find any third party browser that works as well as the stock Samsung one.

I have a Motorola device

Chrome's performance and stability is an absolute travesty for something that's supposed to be a headliner app on android.

It is one of the most blaoted apps on my phone. You need a minimum of 2GB of RAM to use Chrome smoothly. I uninstalled updates and reverted back to the older version of Chrome, that is how bad it is.

I absolutely love Opera Mini, but have noticed it doesn't work on my Droid Turbo. Has anyone else experienced problems with Opera Mini recently? I would check out Atlas browser. Really fast and good. I agree with those who suggested UC Browser and CM Browser, but I find Atlas to be a little faster.

I'm not sure how it's been updated but when it came out Javelin browser seemed pretty snappy without a whole lot on top of it.

I've tried a bunch of different browsers and finally got tired of Dolphin. Moved to Opera and I've been happy but I'm going to go back and take a look at Javelin again.

UC and Chrome are the best browsers

Google Chrome can work well and smoothly ,certainly,sometimes,when it is updated,Google Chrome also owns some problems.

 

[MinhJWaterman]

Opera mini and UC both are the best and light browsers. Opera mini is light browser and i find it good for browsing and i use UC browser for downloading.

 

[jaykalabs]
