I use Ad Block Browser LINK as I'm posting right now. Blocks everything :rockout:
 
I'm not a browser snob. I've always just used whatever's default on all my devices. Bone stock(no ad blockers etc.). Don't care how "fast" it is. As long as it works I'm fine with it.

So...Chrome...obviously.
 
Since it's Android and to the devices I've used in the past I've used Chrome too Firefox and now Ad Blocker Browser. Just like how Fast *Laughs the browser is :pimp: which most phones are. Heck back when I did reviews for China tablets I used the poor default android browser back on 4.2 Android. It had the dual core RK3066
 
Chrome, though i did move to Opera mini for a few days but found out that made my battery last less than a day.

With Chrome i suffer from a 'white band' that covers the entire of the notification bar like this...

When it really should be looking something like this...

Contacted google/chrome support about it and they were absolutely useless.

Im back to getting 2 and a half days batterylife out of my phone.
 
been using ff for a long time on my phone, as well as chrome
 
Opera for adblocking or Chrome when visiting TPU.
 
I forgot I also tried Edge... Not bad at all..
It's actually a lot like chrome but faster.
 
Really now? Gotta try Edge
 
I use Firefox. It has full extension support on Android, so I can still use uBlock Origin.
 
UC Browser. I'm very satisfied with it.
 
opera mini 10 for simple browsing and opera beta 41 for main browser

i don't interested too much on newer build since it doesn't meet my need
 
FF here. extensions galore.....
 
Chrome for stuff that needs my login and password since it's synced with desktop. But for regular surfing Via browser, pretty quick and light on memory.
 
I'm using Opera for Android. It's by far the best browser in existence. Also comes with integrated adblock and data saving features and just works so well. The only one supporting password managers like LastPass and also has excellent syncing feature. Which can't be said for other browsers which are stupid and clumsy. So, whatever I have on desktop, I also have on my mobile. Others brag about this, but don't deliver. Opera does. Don't like their Opera Touch though. It's dumb and you're forced to use Google. No thanks. Regular Opera does everything just fine.
 
dolphin, because the lastpass integration. having a full on separate app for passwords is unweidly and I wish more browsers had it. opera seems to not likey my phone so can't use it. it seems to hate captive portals or stopps working when I make my phone a hotspot. any other browser works fine. firefox mobile is bloated and sluggish even on my nexus 6. took up close to 2-3GB as well while dolphin takes 450mb. my N6 doesn't have SD card slot so I gotta use lean software so I can actually have my own music and videos on there
 
Latest Firefox (Quantum) is much less bloated than before and hello extensions, hello uBlock Origin
 
Using Chrome here mostly because it syncs up with my desktop and tablet and it seems to run the smoothest on my devices (between Firefox, Chrome and Opera).

And I'm using Adguard Premium to filter ads system-wide (including Chrome traffic of course). :cool:
 
I use firefox on my phone, ublock, https everywhere and privacy badger are all installed
 
uc browser has ad block integrated and cloud boost for low speed connections
