2018 Best free Android browsers for Smart phones– In any Android Smartphone, however, many other browsers can also be installed to browse the internet, in order to change the default one and to have some alternative in case there is need of some particular function.

In addition, unlike the iPhone, browsers for Android phones are independent applications, which in some cases may even be faster than the pre-installed browser (while on the iPhone and iPad the alternative browsers are all based on Safari).

In this article, we look at the best free, fastest and most powerful Android browsers that can be installed on mobile phones and tablets to surf the Internet.

1) Chrome is often pre-installed on Android and can be downloaded to devices, mobile phones or tablets, which have Android 4.0 and above.

Like Firefox for Android, Chrome is very similar to the PC version, with the great advantage, for those who use it on a PC, to get data synchronized from the computer.

Google Chrome for Android is the fastest browser, which has the best benchmarking scores ever.

For those who use Chrome on the PC, Chrome on Android is the mandatory choice as the default browser.

Certainly, however, it is not the best for times when you would like complete privacy in browsing, to be able to open websites without leaving traces and without Google storing our habits.

NOTE: Personally I use Chrome on my smartphone with the addition of the Chrome app , which allows you to open links from other apps in an ultra-fast way using Chrome, but without loading the entire browser.

2) Firefox for Android is the browser that will choose all the people who are accustomed to Firefox on the computer but is also to be installed to take advantage of some special features

In Firefox for Android, there are in fact many different options from Chrome, especially for the privacy of the browsing, and there is no lack of support for Firefox extensions on Android.

In addition, with the Firefox Sync function, therefore, any navigation data saved on the PC is synchronized on the mobile phone: bookmarks, history and open tabs.

3) Opera Mobile and Opera Mini are versions of Opera for Android that work beautifully on mobile phones.

Opera Mobile is a complete alternative browser to Chrome, while Opera Mini is a particular browser, which compresses web pages and allows you to download less data, saving bandwidth to the maximum.

Personally, I think that Opera Mini is always to be installed on every smartphone to be able to use it when there is little traffic availability or when abroad you pay for every Kbyte downloaded.

4) Dolphin Browser is one of the most popular browsers in the Google Play store, although in recent years it has lost some credibility due to allegations regarding the possible espionage of data.

Now that these privacy issues should be solved, we can consider Dolphin as the most customizable and most user-friendly web browser for Android, such as support for Flash sites and support for extensions.

5) Puffin browser to open sites in Flash on Android is also one of the lightest browsers, ideal for old or cheap smartphones and includes the function to save internet traffic.

10) UC Browser is a great browser that is essential to surf the Internet in an optimized way even on mobile phones with a small screen.

A bit like Opera Mini does, UCBrowser compresses websites by saving bandwidth in the data connection.

This, however, also makes something more in fact, all those sites that do not have a mobile version and are difficult to navigate on the small screen of the phone, are optimized and each web page is modified so that it can be read and displayed with all the elements arranged , neatly, vertically.

11) Lighting Browser is a recent browser for Android optimized especially for tablets that is proposed as the lightest of all, able to pre-load websites before you click on and always providing the mobile and lighter version of the sites .

It also offers features found in Chrome and other major browsers including tabbed browsing, bookmark management, webpage sharing, password saving, pinch-to-zoom, gestures and much more.

If you install the Flash plugin, it also supports watching streaming videos.
