Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, browsers are your window to the Web – be it on your laptop, tablet or pocket rocket. While you may well be one of those unfussy types who would get by just as well on Chrome or Firefox as you would on Dolphin or Opera, equally you may have many different needs from a mobile browser.
So, we took a look at some of the biggies, and some of the not-so-biggies on Google Play to see what’s what, and what features you could be missing out on by sticking to your browser guns.
Firefox
Similar to Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox browser lets you sync up all your data and preferences, including bookmarks, passwords, history, open tabs and add-ons. It works across devices, including your desktop, so this is a big win for Firefox.
Moreover, Firefox still provides support for Flash for those with Flash installed on their device. As with Chrome, Firefox is WebRTC-enabled for the future and it has long-provided add-ons and extensions to help enhance your mobile browsing. Want to block ads, or place a ‘Quit’ button in the main menu? You got it.

You have a private-browsing tab that is easily activated, though Do Not Track isoff by default. And you also have to delve right in to the settings to clear any private data.
It’s also worth pointing to a couple of neat little ‘tricks’ within Firefox that you may simply have never noticed. Reader Mode, actioned by clicking the little ‘book’ icon in the URL bar, strips out all the junk from a page to present you with a clean view of the text. And Guess Session mode lets you lend your phone to a buddy, who can then use the Internet without compromising your (or their) data.

Firefox is a great, feature-rich browser that offers a brilliant alternative for those wishing to steer clear of the clutches of Google. Speaking of which…
Chrome
Chrome is brought to you by Google, and Android is brought to you by Google too. Ipso facto, Chrome is your best browser bet on Android, Right? Well, yes and no.
Perhaps one of the main benefits of Chrome is that it’s available on your desktop and your mobile, meaning you can sync tabs and bookmarks across platforms, and there’s autofill and password-syncing too. There’s no question it’s massively convenient for those seeking a seamless switch between their laptop and smartphone.
Moreover, Chrome is fast and is nice to use – just try swiping away those unwanted tabs in Chrome, or pulling down to launch a new tab.
b10 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps a8 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
However, Chrome offers no support for Flash videos, and it only works with Android 4.0+ anyway. That isn’t a massive issue per se, but it’s thought that around 20% of Android users are still on versions 2.2-3.2 – however it’s probably safe to say they’re perfectly happy with the stock Android browser anyway.
Then there’s incognito mode (or ‘porn’ mode) for all your ‘private’-browsing needs, and it’s WebRTC-enabled for whenever Web-based video- and audio-communications become the norm.
Privacy is an increasing concern for many people. Aside from incognito mode, which is easy to activate, Chrome does support Do Not Track to block tracking of your online browsing behaviors, but it’s off by default – so you have to activate this. That all said, third-parties aren’t required to obey your ‘don’t track me’ requests anyway, so how much of an issue this really is, is up for debate. Also, you do have to dig quite deep into Settings to clear your browsing data – this could be much further to the forefront.
All-in-all, Chrome is Chrome – it’s fantastic at synchronizing your online browsing across platforms, and there’s not too much to fault with it really – beyond any apprehensions you may have about Google knowing too much about you. And in fairness, that is a concern many people have.
Maxthon
Maxthon’s core selling-point is its cloud-based, cross-platform credentials. Indeed, not only is it available for Android, but it has a version for Mac, Windows, iOS, Kindle Fire and Windows Phone. Good going, if you ask us, as it lets you sync and centralize all your online browsing exploits irrespective of the device you’re using.
Purely as a standalone Android browser, however, Maxthon is great too. On the main homescreen, you have quick access to your favorite sites and a bunch of so-called ‘NewsBites’ – basically an RSS feed of news from a selection of publications. These can be edited and moved around.
a13 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps b15 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
From the main menu, you have quick access to private browsing mode, night-mode (darker screen) and a data-saving feature that switches image-loading off.
Other features include ‘Fetch Mode’, which automatically loads the next page of a site in the background, so when you tap forward, you don’t have to wait for it to load. It’s a nice touch for sure.
c13 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps d10 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Similar to Firefox, you also have quick access to reading mode directly from within the URL address box – clicking the little book icon strips all the garbage out and leaves just the text you wish to read.
As noted already, signing in to Maxthon lets you sync all your browsing via ‘My Cloud Tabs’, which works seamlessly across all the platforms I checked it on, while Cloud Push also supports the sharing of texts, images, links to other devices too.
In addition to supporting Flash video, Maxthon also has a handful of add-ons that lets you extend its usability, including a screenshot assistant, RSS Reader and bookmark backup.
Opera
Opera is one of the stalwarts of the mobile-browsing sphere. Indeed it’s a dependable, uber-popular browser, with a few tricks up its proverbial sleeves, as it seeks to set itself apart from the pack.
For example, ‘Off-Road’ mode taps the same compression technology as its little brother, Opera Mini (see below), to expedite page-loads when your Internet connection is patchy, or when you’re using a lower-end device. Of course, this will preclude many modern Web features from working, but there’s always going to be a trade-off in such situations.
Then there’s the neat ‘Speed Dial’ feature, which is worth a mention too.
Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 23 19 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 23 51 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
In the simplest terms, Speed Dial is like a visual bookmarking system, one that lets you drag related items onto each other to create a group of bookmarks – ‘folders’, for want of a better word. It’s much like how you create folders of apps on the iOS homescreen. And right next to that, the ‘Discover’ feature delivers a curated list of news articles from your region – you can select the country and topics of interest (e.g. ‘Arts’, ‘Sport’, ‘Business’. It’s like Flipboard…but baked in to your browser.
Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 22 48 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 22 57 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
With one eye firmly on the future of Web communications, Opera was recentlyserved with WebRTC support. And you’ll also be pleased to know that, as with Chrome and Firefox, Opera lets you sync all browser data, bookmarks, Speed Dials, passwords, and more between your computer, tablet and mobile phone, thanks to Opera Link.
Opera is a genuinely great browser – not much more to say, really. Though we should note that, as with Chrome for Android, this specific incarnation of Opera is only available for Android 4.0+.
Opera Mini
Opera Mini is a little bit like its big brother, Opera, insofar as it’s made by the same Norwegian company. But from a user perspective, the similarities pretty much end there.
Yes, you can connect up your settings, bookmarks, and so on from other devices using Opera Link, but it doesn’t have features such as ‘Discover’, while Speed Dial is decidedly less slick.
That said, Opera Mini is more about being fast and efficient for those on poor connections, or using lower-end devices, letting you choose whether to load images or not (and their quality), opt for a single-column view, and more. It’s about simplicity and saving money via its data-compression technology.
Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 24 43 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps Screenshot 2014 03 21 16 24 54 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Plus, for a ‘simple’ browser, it still packs in a fair amount of features, including a Smart Page for news and updates from your social networks, as well as saving pages for reading offline later.
Dolphin
Along with Opera, Dolphin is one of the oldest and most-popular third-party browsers for Android – indeed, it claims more than eighty million downloads, which isn’t to be sniffed at. Dolphin is a genuinely beautiful Android browser, particularly since it was given a massive lick of paint last summer.
Dolphin offers a similar speed dial-style visual bookmarker to that of Opera, and it’s easy to switch between tabs. On that point, Dolphin was one of the earliest browsers to enable tabbed-browsing on Android. So there you go.
But where Dolphin sets itself a part is via the neat little pop-up menu that serves up a number of options – one of which is based around the notion of gestures. You simply draw a gesture on the screen, for example an ‘F-shape’, and associate that shape with a particular URL or browser action, and you will be able to initiate that action by using that gesture.
a10 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps b12 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
In addition to gestures, ‘Sonar’ mode lets you use your voice to search the Web, while a tonne of add-ons lets you enhance the browser. This includes extensions such as Dolphin Reader, which strips out the junk and brings a Firefox-style reading mode to your device.
c11 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps e6 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
The one downside for me, and probably many others, is that it doesn’t have a desktop-based counterpart, which means it’s not quite as easy to sync up your browsing actions across the board. That said, as of an update last year, Dolphin replicates desktop-mobile syncing with its Chrome, Firefox and Safariextensions, allowing you to send tabs, images, phone numbers and even directions between platforms. But from my own experiences, Dolphin Connect is really not as seamless as something like Firefox Sync.
Screenshot 2014 03 20 17 18 10 220x156 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser appsOne final point worth noting too. When you exit the Dolphin browser, it makes it easy for you to clear your cache and history by throwing up this dialog box – you can configure it so this doesn’t happen every time, however.
All in all, Dolphin is a great browser.
Dolphin Zero
Dolphin Zero is a (very) stripped-down version of the standard Dolphin browser, and it has one key focus in mind. When you first launch the app, you’re left with no doubt as to Dolphin’s core raison d’être – its strapline ‘Leave No Trace’ heads up a list of things that it automatically deletes when you tell it to.
dz1 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps dz Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Although any passwords you’ve entered remain if you simply close the browser to peruse other apps on your device, if you physically hit the ‘Exit’ button, a metaphorical shredder will pop up and tell you that everything in the previous session has been destroyed. Moreover, Dolphin Zero uses DuckDuckGo – aprivacy-focused search portal – as its default engine.
Dolphin Zero is about as basic a browser as you’ll find, but it serves its sole purpose well and works as described.
Note: For the super-paranoid, you might want to check out Orweb (for which you’ll need to install Orbot too) – it may not be the slickest or fastest browser in the land, but it does a good job of keeping you anonymous on the Web.
Next
The Next Browser for Android is perhaps less familiar from a brand perspective, but it is a gem.
This browser comes courtesy of the same folks behind Go Launcher for Android, and while Next has clearly borrowed ideas from its more established mobile counterparts, that shouldn’t be held against it.
As with Opera and Dolphin, there is a colorful favorites screen which can be configured, while ‘Top Sites’ and ‘Recent Tabs’ serve up quick access to your recent browsing activities.
Screenshot 2014 03 20 17 34 28 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps Screenshot 2014 03 20 17 33 051 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Next also has the usual familiar features, including incognito mode, while extensions let you access a range of enhancements. It sports offline reading too and, as with Opera, there’s a Flipboard-esque RSS feed of news and articles that can be tailored by the user.
Screenshot 2014 03 20 17 35 301 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps Screenshot 2014 03 20 17 56 37 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Next is a lightweight browser that packs a punch. Granted, it is mobile-only and you will be limited in terms of desktop-mobile syncing. However, a Chrome extension circumvents some of these issues, letting you synchronize your bookmarks.
Next is a great browser and it’s lightning fast. In terms of fully-unique features, it perhaps doesn’t do anything overly WOW, but it’s lovely to use.
Link Bubble
Link Bubble brings something a little different to the mobile browsing table, as it sits in the background waiting to ‘intercept’ as you click on links from any app on your phone.
It’s worth noting here that there is a free and a Pro version of Link Bubble – to get the full benefits, you’ll probably want to pay five bucks and upgrade. While it is a shame you have to spend MONEY here, we think Link Bubble brings enough ‘difference’ to the browsing sphere to make this not an issue. And yes, it’s the Pro version we discuss here.
Let’s assume you’re browsing your feed in the native Twitter Android app, and you see a link to a photo on Instagram. Link Bubble will automatically start loading that in the background (when you click it), meaning you don’t have to sit starting at ‘redirect’ screens on your phone, be it a redirect to the Instagram app (if you have it installed) or Instagram on the Web. The same goes for any links from Facebook, Airbnb, Evernote, Dropbox…basically any app.
You’ll see the icon for the site/app in question in a little bubble at the side of your screen, and you simply tap this, and it pulls up the content of the link within the Link Bubble browser. It’s more like a ‘skin’ that’s pulled up over the app/web page behind it (see image below on the right).
c12 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps d9 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
The more links you load, the more floating bubbles you’ll have – which are kind of like ‘tabs’ from a traditional mobile browser.
Moreover, long-pressing a bubble lets you carry out other actions – for example you can drag it to share directly to your Pocket account to read later, or the broader ‘share picker’ function to send it to any third-party app, including Twitter, Facebook or Gmail. You can configure the settings for these, so that ‘Pocket’ actually becomes Buffer, Dropbox, Flipboard, Evernote or many others.
e7 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps f6 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Link Bubble is a new entrant to the browser space having only launched this week, but we expect this to rack up a fair few fans in the days and months that follow. Oh, and one last thing – it’s only compatible with Android 4.1+.
UC Browser
UC Browser has been around for a while, and with tens of millions of downloads under its belt on Android alone, this is among the most popular browsers out there.
Just today, browser-maker UCWeb revealed it has had 500 million downloadsacross the board (all platforms), though it’s biggest in China and India. Out of the box, UC Browser doesn’t bring too much more to the table than what’s already been covered, but it does pack a punch from a features’ perspective. I’ve used it on-and-off for a few weeks, however, and it’s always been a little on the sluggish side for my liking.
The main homescreen is a bit ‘busy’ for me too, and there doesn’t seem to be an easy way of editing this in the free version. At any rate, the main menu pops up from the bottom and offers a nice departure from others out there, letting you scroll horizontally between ‘General’, ‘Preferences’ and ‘Tools’.
a14 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps b16 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Where UC Browser really comes into its own, however, is as a file- and download-manager – it lets you download multiple files simultaneously in the background, and continues downloading if your Internet connection is interrupted. The File Manager itself gives you easy access to all your, well, files and shows you how much space they’re consuming on your device.
c14 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps d11 220x391 Windows to the Web: 10 of the best Android browser apps
Throw into the mix personalization via add-ons, and a very useful Speed Mode that automagically loads the best version of a website to suit your device and network, then it’s easy to see why it’s proven so popular. Design and layout wise, it has a lot in common with Tencent’s One Browser, though we’re sure that’s entirely coincidental.
Notable mentions…
The ones highlighted above are our pick of the bunch, but they are by no means the be-all-and-end-all of Android browsers. Here’s a few more that are worth chewing over.
Puffin: Puffin is a pretty popular browser, with a few neat features. These include a virtual trackpad/gamepad on your screen, plus good support for Flash built directly into the browser, though this is only free during the day-time. However, with US servers, some content from sites won’t play in it – such as BBC programmes from the UK.
Easy Browser: Easy Browser is backwards compatible all the way to Android 1.5 (yup), and weighs in at a little more than 200kb, which makes this one of the lightest browsers on Google Play. Its interface perhaps isn’t the slickest in the land, but it does have some nice features, including easy shortcuts for sharing screenshots and URLs. But the free version is ad-supported.
Boat Browser: Webkit-based browser Boat has been around for a while, and it’s easy to see why it is popular. Similar to Dolphin, you can associate ‘gestures’ with browsing activity (e.g. specific URLs), and it has many of the features you’d expect from a decent Android browser.
喜欢亦或是讨厌,浏览器都是你上网的必需品,无论是在你的手提电脑、平板电脑或者是你的手机。或许你是一个对浏览器不是特别讲究的人,当你本可以用海豚或者欧朋浏览器的时候,你用谷歌或者火狐浏览器也用得过去,也有可能你对移动浏览器有很多不同的要求。
因此,我们现在来看看谷歌电子市场上都有些什么样的浏览器,有哪些更多人使用,哪些更少人使用,当你坚持使用着原来的浏览器长时间不换,你可能错过了一些好东西。
火狐浏览器
和谷歌浏览器相似,Mozilla的火狐浏览器可以让你同步你的数据和偏好设置,包括书签、密码、浏览历史、打开的标签和附件。它可以跨装置运行,包括你的桌面,所以这是火狐浏览器一个很大的优势。
此外,火狐浏览器还为Falsh 应用和装有Flash应用的装置提供支持。跟谷歌浏览器相比,火狐浏览器有望能够在不久的将来实现实时通讯,并且它还长期提供附件和扩展应用改进你的移动浏览器。想要阻止广告或者在主菜单上有一个“停止”选项卡么?火狐浏览器就是你的选择。
你可以轻易激活隐私浏览的标签,虽然“请勿跟踪”在默认的情况下都是关闭的。而且你也应该深入探究可以清除任何隐私数据的设置。
使用火狐浏览器时,还有几个小伎俩值得指出来,这些伎俩可能你平时使用的时候没有注意到。阅读模式,当你轻轻地点击地址栏里的“小书”,就可以剔除网页里所有的垃圾信息,给你呈现清楚明了的文本。另外,当你的朋友用你的手机上网时,猜会话模式可以让你们的数据互不影响。
火狐浏览器很强大、功能丰富,为那些想摆脱谷歌浏览器的用户们提供了绝好的选择。说起谷歌浏览器......
谷歌浏览器
谷歌为你提供了谷歌浏览器,也为你提供了安卓系统。事实上,安卓系统上的谷歌浏览器是你的最好选择,不是呢?也许,可能是也可能不是。
可能谷歌浏览器最大的优点莫过于它即使用于平板电脑也使用于手机,这样你就可以通过这个平台同步选项卡和书签,谷歌浏览器还可以自动填充密码。对于那些一直寻找在手提电脑上和智能手机上无痕转换数据的用户来说,谷歌浏览器无疑给他们提供了巨大便利。
此外,谷歌浏览器迅速、方便使用——只需要清除谷歌浏览器里你不需要的选项卡或者下拉建立新的选项卡。
然而,谷歌浏览器不支持Flash视频播放,并且它只适用于安卓4.0和4.0以上的机型,而考虑到现在约有20%的用户仍然在使用安卓2.2-3.2之间的版本,可以很肯定地说,对于这些用户来说,他们更愿意使用安卓浏览器。
此外,谷歌浏览器上有隐身模式可以让你进行无痕浏览,它的实时通讯功能也可以让你随时随地进行网络视频和语音通话。
很多人越来越关注网络个人隐私问题。除了很容易激活的隐身模式,谷歌还支持“请勿追踪”插件,这样可以防止你的浏览记录被追踪,虽然这个选项默认的情况下是关闭的,但是你可以很轻松地把它打开。但是第三方并没有被要求要服从你“请勿追踪”的要求,这依然还是个问题,还要继续商榷。另外,如果你还要深入研究清除你的浏览数据的设置,这可能要等以后开发研究出来了。总之,谷歌浏览器就是谷歌浏览器,它最大的魅力在于它可以同步你的在线浏览暂时它还没有太多的问题,除了你害怕谷歌对你了解太多。平心而论,很多人都担心这个问题。
遨游浏览器
遨游最大的卖点是云计算和跨平台验证技术。事实上,遨游不仅仅适用安卓系统,同时它也适用Mac、Windows 、IOS、KindleFire和Windows Phone 系统。这样的话,无论你使用什么样的装置,你都可以同步和聚集你的浏览数据。
单单作为一个安卓系统上的浏览器来看,遨游浏览器也很强大。在它的主屏幕上,你可以快速进入你最喜欢的网站,可以阅读一系列的简要新闻----基本上都是精选的出版物的摘要。你可以对它们进行编辑或者删除。
从主屏幕上,你可以快速进入隐私浏览模式、夜间模式(屏幕更暗)和调整图片加载的流量节省模式。
另外一个特点是获取模式,选择了这个模式后,它会在后台自动加载下一页的内容,当你翻页的时候,你就不用等待其加载。这给使用者提供了大大的便利。
和火狐浏览器一样,你可以直接通过点击地址栏的小书图标快速进入阅读模式,去除掉没用的信息留下你想要阅读的文本。
正如已经提到的,使用遨游可以同步你的浏览记录通过“我的云书签”,这一东西可以让我在不同的装置上使用遨游浏览器时无缝同步数据。同时“云推送”支持向其他的装置分享文本、图片和链接。
除了支持Flash视频播放,遨游浏览器还有一系列的附件可以帮助你拓展它的用途,包括截屏助手、RSS阅读器和书签备份。
欧朋浏览器
欧朋浏览器是手机浏览器中的中坚分子之一。事实上,因其几个独特的特征。它是值得信赖的倍受欢迎的浏览器,它努力追求创新使之与众不同。
例如,“离线”模式开发了与其小兄弟——迷你欧朋(见下文)一样的压缩技术,当你的网络连接不顺畅或者使用低端装置的时候可以加速图片的加载。当然,这样也许会影响到一些现代的网站的正常浏览,但是遇到这种情况总要学会二者选其一不是么。
然后欧朋浏览器还有一个快速拨号的功能值得一提。
简单地说,所谓的快速拨号就像一个可视化的书签系统,你可以把相关的项目拖到一起创建一个书签群,用一个更好的次来命名就是“文件夹”。这就好比你在IOS系统的主屏幕上创建一个文件夹应用。就在它旁边的“发现”功能提供了一些列你喜欢的新闻报道——你可以选择你喜欢的国家和话题(例如:艺术、运动、商业)它就像一本社交杂志,只是镶嵌在了你的浏览器上。
欧朋浏览器密切注意着网络通信的未来发展,最近欧朋已经能够支持网络实时通讯。你肯定很乐意听到,由于有了欧朋链接,欧朋浏览器像谷歌浏览器和火狐浏览器一样,能够同步你浏览器里所有的数据、书签、快速拨号、密码和其他的东西到电脑、平板电脑和手机。
欧朋是一个真正强大的浏览器,绝对没有丝毫的夸张。我们应该注意到的是,虽然安卓系统上的谷歌浏览器也很强大,但是欧朋浏览器不仅仅适用安卓4.0以上的机型。
迷你欧朋浏览器
迷你欧朋浏览器有点像它的大哥欧朋浏览器,在很多的地方都是由同一家挪威公司开发的。但对于用户来说,欧朋浏览器和迷你欧朋浏览器并不是那样的相似。
没错,你可以通过欧朋链接连接你其他装置上的设置、书签和其他的一系列的东西。它没有“发现”功能,快速拨号功能也没有那么好用。
这也就是说,迷你欧朋浏览器更多的是为那些网络不好的设备或者较低端的设置提供更快捷的服务,让你可以自主地选择是否加载图片和加载的图片的分辨率,让你可以选择单列视图或者多列视图。它更多关注的是通过它的数据压缩技术从而达到简便和省钱。
另外,对于一个简单的浏览器来说它还包括了很多其他的功能,包括从你的社交网络上智能更新页面新闻,同时还可以保存网页供离线浏览。
海豚浏览器
跟欧朋浏览器一样,事实上,海豚浏览器是安卓系统第三方最老和最受欢迎的浏览器,它声称超过八千万次下载,这是绝对不可小觑的。海豚浏览器是外观最漂亮的浏览器,尤其是在去年夏天进行大规模的外观整理后。
海豚浏览器像欧朋浏览器一样,提供了可视化书签,可快速进入你想浏览的网页。同时还能在选项卡间快速转换。在这一点上,海豚成为了安卓系统上最早做到选项卡式浏览的浏览器之一。你可以自己去体会体会。
然而真正让海豚浏览器与众不同的是它其中小弹出菜单提供了很多的选项这些选项都是基于手势的概念。例如你简简单单的在屏幕上画一个F的形状,然后根据那个手势会出现特定的网址或者浏览命令,通过使用那个手势你能够开始浏览命令。
除了手势,“声呐”模式让你可以通过声音浏览网页,一些其他的附件可以增强你的浏览器功能。这包括了一些扩展功能,例如海豚浏览器,这个浏览器可以像火狐浏览器一样去除掉垃圾,提供便利的阅读。
对于我来说,一个很大的缺点就是,可能还有其他的缺点,电脑上没有相对应的浏览器,这就意味着你不可以那么便利地跨平台同步你的浏览行为。据说,从去年更新后,海豚浏览器复制了谷歌浏览器、火狐浏览器和苹果浏览器的拓展功能——手机和电脑传输功能,让你在不同的平台之间可以传输选项卡、图片、电话号码甚至方向信息。但是从我个人的使用经验来看,海豚数据连接做不到像火狐浏览器一样天衣无缝。
最后一点值得注意的是,当你退出海豚浏览器的时候,你可以在退出时的对话框里很方便地清除你的浏览缓存和历史记录,当然你也可以自己设置,这样就不会每次都弹出提示的对话框。
总而言之,海豚浏览器是一个很强大的浏览器。
海豚浏览器私密版
海豚浏览器私密版是海豚浏览器的一个简装版,这个浏览器只有一个重要的核心。只要你一使用它,你就会发现它存在的只要核心意义——就像它的标示语一样绝不留下任何痕迹,你浏览完你要浏览的东西后,根据你的命令它就会自动删除记录。
当你简单地关闭浏览器使用你的装置上其他的应用时,虽然你登入的密码会保留,但是如果你点击“退出”按钮,一个碎纸机一样的图标就会弹窗跳出,告诉你你之前浏览的记录都已经被删除了。此外,这个浏览器运用DuckDuckGo作为其搜索门户的搜索引擎。
你会发现海豚浏览器私密版只是一个普普通通的浏览器,它所有的目的就是像它的名字所形容的一样。
提示:对于一些非常偏执的人来说,你可能会有兴趣去尝试Orweb(使用这个得同时还需要装Orbot),它也许不是地球上最快和最智能的浏览器,但是绝对可以让你做到在网上无痕浏览。
Next浏览器
知道Next浏览器的人可能不是特别多,但是它绝对是一块宝。
这个浏览器是安卓Go桌面的开发团队开发出来的,尽管这个浏览器借用了其他更成熟的手机浏览器的思想,但也不能完全把它否定了。
像欧朋浏览器和海豚浏览器一样,你可以自己设置自己喜欢的屏幕,并且“Top Sites "功能和“最近浏览“功能可以让你快速进入你最近浏览的页面。
Next也有通常常见的功能,包括隐身模式,它的扩展功能可以增强你的浏览功能。它也向欧朋浏览器一样,支持离线阅读,也提供了为用户量身定做的摘录的新闻和文章。
Nextl浏览器是内存很小的浏览器。遗憾的是,它只适用于手机,这样你就不能进行手机和电脑间同步数据。但是,不要担心,谷歌浏览器拓展应用为你解决了这些问题,让你可以同步你的书签。
Next浏览器是一个强大的浏览器,拥有闪电一样的运行速度。尽管有很多独特的功能,但是它还是不能和WOW相媲美,总体上还是很好用的。
Link Bubble 浏览器
Lingk Bubble 浏览器给手机浏览器桌面带来了一些新鲜的东西,当你点击链接你手机上任何的软件时,它在后台等着“拦截”。
值得一提的是,这个浏览器还有一个免费的专业版本,如果你要使用里面所有的功能的话,你可以再支付五美元升级软件。虽然要花钱让人很烦恼,但是它确实跟其他的浏览器很不同,为这点原因,花点钱也就没什么了。现在我们就来谈谈专业版的Link Bubble 浏览器。
假设你在手机微博客户端浏览微博时,你看到了一张图片分享的链接。当你点击这个链接时,这个浏览器会自动在后台加载图片,意味着你不用坐等着你的手机转换页面,如果你安装了这个浏览器,它可以直接跳转到分享的图片。这样同样适用于脸谱网、爱本卜、全能便签、网路随身碟等等一些基本的网站或者软件。
你可以看到在你手机屏幕边上一个泡泡状问号图标,你只要轻轻地点击它,它就可以通过这个浏览器呈现你要链接的文本。它就像在软件和网站上方的皮肤(见下面右方的图片)。
你加载的链接越多,漂浮在屏幕上的跑跑就越多——这时就有点像传统手机浏览器的选项卡。
此外,长按泡泡可以让你施行其他的命令——例如你可以直接分享拖动到你的书包里以供后来阅读或者可以起到更广泛的分享器的作用,可以分享到第三方软件,例如微博、脸谱网、和谷歌邮箱。你可以自行设置这些东西,这样“书包”就可以充当缓冲器、网路随身碟、社交杂志、全能便签和很多其他的东西。
Link Buble上个星期刚刚发布,是浏览器世界新进入的一员。但是我们真的很希望在接下的日月里,会有越来越人喜欢使用它。对了,还有最后一点,它只适用于安卓4.1以上的系统。
UC浏览器
UC浏览器已经存在很长一段时间了,现在已经有成百上千次的下载量,现在在安卓系统上独孤求败,它是最受欢迎的浏览器。
就在今天,浏览器开发商UCWeb刚刚公布UC浏览器的总下载量已经达到50亿次(在所有的平台),在中国和印度位居第一。UC浏览器很占内存,虽然它没有往手机桌面上添加很多东西,出了本身自带的东西外,但是这也是出于功能完全考虑。我断断续续用过几个星期,从我个人的喜好来说,它加载速度有点慢。
UC浏览器的主屏幕显得有点乱,在免费版里不是很容易编辑它的主屏幕。但是至少,主菜单可以从底部弹窗跳出,这样你就可以很好地和其他分隔开来,让你可以可以在“常用”、“设置”和“工具”间水平滚动。
UC浏览器真正的魅力所在是它的文件和下载管理——它让你在后台同时下载多个文件,并且当你的网络连接中断了还可以继续下载。文件管理器可以让你快速地管理你的文件,还可以看到那些文件总共消耗了你多少手机内存。
通过附件,可以进行多重个性化设置,并且UC浏览器有有一个非常有用的急速模式,它可以根据你的装置和网络,自动给你下载网络上最好的版本,这就是为什么它那么受欢迎的原因。它的设计和布局合理,它有很多的地方和腾讯的浏览器相似,虽然我们相信这绝对是巧合。
注意
以上提到的浏览器并不是所有的安卓浏览器。下面有几个浏览器也值得一试。
Puttin浏览器:这是一个非常受欢迎的浏览器,有几个非常简洁的功能。包括在你手机上显示的虚拟触碰板,再加上很好地支持Flash播放,迄今为止,它是唯一一个可以免费使用这个功能的浏览器。然而,因其是美国的服务器,有一些网站支持这个功能的运用,例如英国的BBC网站。
点点浏览器:点点浏览器兼容安卓1.5以下的版本,它的安装包内存仅仅200KB多一点点,它是谷歌电子市场是内存最小的浏览器。它的界面设计也许并不是非常好,但是它确有几个很好的功能,比如可以很方便快捷地分享屏幕截图和网址。但是免费版的常常插有广告。
云舟浏览器:极速引擎云舟浏览器已经在市面上火了一段时间了,很明显就能知道为什么它很受欢迎。和海豚一样,你可以把手势和浏览结合在一起(例如一些具体的网址),它有很多好浏览器具备的功能。
