There are numerous browsers available for Android offering different features in contrast to each other. And if you are still stuck using the default browser of your phone then you are no doubt missing a lot of things.

If one talks about the Top 3 Android browsers then obviously Opera Mini, UC Browser and Google Chrome are the first three browsers which come into the thought process. But the actual question now is that which browser is the best? Every browser has its positive points and its negative points. Here is a roundup of the browsers Opera Mini, UC Browser and Google Chrome.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is Google’s very own web browser. Most of us have already heard and seen enough of Google Chrome as we use it on our PCs.

Google Chrome is enriched with a lot of features, the browser sports material design and looks overall pretty when one talks about the UI. Some of the features of Google Chrome  which must be noted are bandwidth compression, voice search, HTML 5, incognito mode, do not track and the list goes on.

Chances are that you have it already on your phone but if you do not have then we recommend you to download it from Google Play Store.

Opera Mini

Opera Mini  is widely popular among Smartphone users, it’s also considered as one of the fastest mobile browser. Opera Mini is capable of synchronizing data, turning off images and browsing in network affected areas. Opera Mini uses data compression to let its users with slow connection browse the web faster. Along with these things, Opera Mini sports a numerous features like capacity to save web pages for viewing later, smart page, single column view etc.

Opera Mini can be downloaded and installed from Google Play Store.

UC Browser

UC Browser has a very decent interface and UI. Switching between windows looks really cool, customized themes are there for more personalized view. One of the main reasons why UC Browser is popular is that its known to download files faster than any other mobile browser. The download manager of UC Browser is faster and less laggy in contrast to other mobile browsers. Also, UC browser sports add-ons, speed booster and Ad Block. UC Browser is now being considered as the number 1 third party browser in the world for Smartphones, who knows you may soon get UC Browser on PC  for regular usage.

Wrapping It Up

So, here was a roundup and a short list of features of the above mentioned browsers. Now it’s all up to you that which browser suits your need. If you have a slow internet connection and main aim is surfing then go for Opera Mini. If you are into downloading and regularly download a lot of stuff with a huge need of add-ons then you should go for UC Browser. For all other standard needs, choose Google Chrome over others.
