Your browser is an application you may have been using, but you may not have thought about changing it like your browser or SMS application.
But you should. You can do many things in the browser. Therefore, the important thing is whether the one you swipe and click every day suits your needs.
Maybe you want a more convenient interface, or maybe your privacy is your biggest concern. Everyone has an Android browser, here are seven prominent options, and their main focus.
1. Cake: Killing the Search Engine Results Page
Most of the time, when you look up something online, there is a good chance that you will click on the first link at the end. A free browser called Cake Browser solves this problem by deleting search engine results pages.
Our idea is to skip this point and take you directly to the first link of the results. From there, you can swipe right or left to view the remaining pages, or you can pull down from the top to access the search index. Cake also pre-installs the link closest to the one you are currently reading, which further speeds up the experience.
2. Firefox Focus: Privacy Focus
We started with firefox focus, one of the products provided by Mozilla for Android. The sole purpose of Focus is to ensure that your numbers exist. You can’t find browsing history, tabs, lists of the most visited sites, or similar features on modern browsers.
On the contrary, firefox focus provides a series of tools that allow you to hide your whereabouts after leaving the site. Browsers do this by blocking trackers and cookies, otherwise they will monitor your browsing habits.
In addition, Firefox Focus will delete your entire browsing session and its details when you log out. There is also a persistent delete button and a notification when you want to execute it manually.
Since Firefox Focus blocks all background plug-ins, it loads web pages faster. You can even pick the elements you want to allow. For example, you can disable analytics tracking programs, but still keep cookies, because disabling them may cause problems for some websites.
3. Opera Touch: More Convenient Web Browsing
OperaTouch is a browser, suitable for users who are difficult to browse on the big screen**. Unlike the usual bottom line of options, this app provides a gesture-based floating button called a quick action button. You can swipe it in different directions to access actions, such as switch to another tab, reload, search, etc. This keeps everything important within the reach of your fingers.
This browser also provides some other beautiful tools. One is MyFlow, which allows you to seamlessly share Opera content on the desktop and **. In addition, there is a setting to block websites that mine cryptocurrency in the background.
Among the many Android browsers that provide gestures, operatouch undoubtedly has the most refined interface.
4. Ecosia Browser: Search for Tree Planting through the Internet
The Ecosia browser is an ordinary browser based on Chromium, with a significant difference: it was developed by a non-profit organization and locked on a customized search engine. How does this help?
Well, the advertising revenue from every web search you run on the Ecosia browser helps plant trees. Yes, all the proceeds from the browser are used to fund afforestation projects.
It takes about 45 searches for a tree, which is not much. Most people may reach this goal in less than a week. Ecosia says its browser accumulates enough profit for a new sapling every second. So far, it has successfully planted more than 36 million trees and has nearly 7 million active users.
Therefore, if you are one who can live on a slightly less powerful search engine, give Ecosia browser a chance to be part of this great cause. Its other functions are exactly the same as googlechrome.
5. DuckGo Browser: Website Privacy Test
In addition to a series of privacy-oriented features, DuckDuckGo’s Android browser also educates you on how safe a particular website is by rating it. These scores are derived from evaluations of several safety practices. These include whether HTTPS is available, the number of trackers, whether to mine cryptocurrency, pop-up ads, etc.
The browser displays this level next to the address bar, and even allows you to manually increase the level by blocking various elements. There is also a Fire button, which can clear all personal data from the application like Firefox Focus. Although here, it will not be executed automatically after each session.
Of course, the biggest highlight of duckgo is that it forces you to use duckgo’s own search engine instead of Google. This can be said to be a safer and less spying environment. Of course, this is not a private experience like completely abandoning Google on Android, but this is the beginning.
6. Lynket Browser: Powerful Custom Tabs
Lynket browser is designed for those who are tired of Android custom tabs.
The original purpose was to allow developers to easily render web pages without requiring users to leave their application. Customized tags became a mess due to lack of Google’s attention. Custom tags now have two serious drawbacks-they prevent you from working on multiple tasks at the same time, and when you return to the application, you will lose all tags.
Linkter solved this problem in a clever way. When configured as the default browser, Lynket will slide on any custom tab you open to a separate window on **, allowing you to easily perform multitasking between multiple tabs. More importantly, the browser also adds these links to the history, so that if you accidentally swipe them away, you won’t lose them forever.
It can even start custom labels as a floating bubble and load them in the background if you don’t want to follow them immediately. This is similar to the Facebook Messenger chat header. Reader mode and other browser gossips are also available.
However, the most interesting aspect of the Lynket browser is that the application is built on a custom tab protocol. This allows it to use the architecture of any other browser (such as Google Chrome or Samsung browser) and synchronize existing data.
7. Kiwi browser: an easy choice
The Chromium-based Kiwi browser is an application suitable for those looking for a simple and fast browsing experience. The browser comes with all the necessary functions and some supplementary functions.
This includes night mode (optimized for OLED screens), bottom address bar, encryption hijack protection, and more.

Unique android browsing experience
The browser installed on ** may better meet your needs. But these seven unique browsers overcome at least one of the major shortcomings of other mainstream applications, such as the hassle of privacy or custom tags, to make your experience even further.
