Firefox for Android.

Is the best browser available for the platform.

Chrome is Internet Explorer 6 now. No tabs anymore. Slow. Crashes. Eats up batter. No Adblock/Extensions.

Another problem with Webkit based browsers is - auto-download of APKs on some websites, automatic opening of Play Store on some websites and other BS. The website people are to be blamed, but there is a reason why they are targetting Webkit users. Or Blink whatever they call the engine now.

If you want to use a Webkit browser, use Opera instead.

Otherwise Firefox is the best. No flaws at all.

Boat browser works good as well.

Firefox for downloading and visiting those pesky site s that spam with multiple popups
Chrome for normal browsing
Also you do know you can switch back to tab switcher inside the browser
Also as for adblock that is there and as for battery use greenify or servicly

How do you block a website from prompting to open Play Store through an ad in Firefox?
There some news sites which inevitably do that and irritate the hell out of me.

And is it possible to block modal dialogues in Firefox for Android?

Install the adblock addon

Hokey

FireFox will be my next browser after i reformat my phone soon (have used it briefly). Maxthon has been good too, and even the stock browser for me.

Firefox with Sync enabled will solve your problem of data portability.

UCBrower
Opera
Dolphin

Been using Firefox for Android for a long time now, mostly because of the high number of extensions available and that I rely on sync a lot.

That is actually a lot but I am talking about free RAM. Is that amount of free RAM?

Than it shouldn't be a problem. Update your app and clear all the data.

Stock crapwiz rom? Flash cm11/cm12 and you'll get ~60-70% free RAM.

Nope. I disabled Chrome altogether from the phone.

My friend was the one complaining about tabs not being there anymore. But he also disabled Chrome and is using Firefox now.

Still Chrome is bloat and too heavy. I suggest everyone to use Opera instead.

Move over to Firefox/Opera.

I want to uninstall Chrome too. How do you do it without rooting the phone?

You can't uninstall it. You can "disable" it.

But that won't remove its binaries. It would still exist on the phone taking up space.

Disabled it, it uninstalled all updates and restored it to the factory default version.

But it has gone from the quick launch section.

That's as close as you can get to an Uninstall.

It's gone actually. You can't use it anymore.

It is only present in the ROM but that space is anyway reserved and does not count towards user memory.

Factory ver. means less space dont and take up ram.If you want a clear uninstall root is the only option(i think)

I think its as good as it gets. As long as its not in memory.

Now here is what Google does to lock the competition out.

Try using Google Image Search on Firefox and on Opera/Chrome. The interface sucks on Firefox. Google detects you're using Firefox and gives you a shitty interface.

But their nonsense is not going to stop me from using Firefox and suggesting it to others.

Using CM browser, feels very light. Don't need sync on mobile.

Google is EVIL. :evil:

Now that I think of it, even the preview image quality is low for Image Search on Firefox.

Haven't tried on Chrome, so if anyone can check it out and let me know if it is the same or better...

yes, it is.

I actually liked Chrome on my Moto X. I have enabled the tabs. And it works fast. But yea sometimes sites leads to automatically opening of Play store. But I like the way I can switch to another tab. Just slide by pressing the address bar, and it shows all the previews of tabs from where you can switch to another one. Just slide the tab preview and it will close. You can even undo closing the tab, if you accidentally closed a tab.

But if Google is on purpose trying to sabotage Firefox by returning low quality image then I guess I would need to try Firefox on my Android.

How is this different from normal Firefox with Adblock Plus? I have been using Adblock Plus on Firefox and it works just as well.
