The most common is to use Google Chrome, but there are those who prefer to try alternative browser. For a few months, when starting an Android mobile, Google is obliged to show several alternatives apart from its own browser, so we are going to list them all so that we can choose the best alternative to Google Chrome.
Well, with our Android mobile or iPhone in hand, we are going to explore different alternatives to the Internet giant’s browser. We will be surprised by the large number of options we have in the respective app stores.
A mobile browser is downloaded the same as a game or social network, that is, through an application in the Google Play Store or in the Apple App Store.
We are going to highlight the 10 browsers that we recommend and that we have tested on several occasions, but without adding a specific order or preferences:
Ecosia, search and plant trees
It is the ecological and friendly search engine with the environment . For every search we do with Ecosia, the company is committed to planting trees in the most devastated areas of the planet. So much so that 80% of Ecosia’s income is used for reforestation.
A private Chromium-based search engine does not save search data, does not sell our information to other companies to make ads, does not track our visits, etc.
Ecosia is available to download for free on Android and can also be downloaded for iPhone and iPad.
Opera Mini, fast and easy alternative to chrome
This browser is common on Apple devices, but it can be downloaded for any Android mobile. The good thing about Opera Mini is that it is lighter than the normal version, so it takes up less space.
Opera Mini has a built-in ad blocker, so we save ourselves from installing an extension or program with the risk that this poses to our security. We save up to 90% of data than with a normal browser, it allows you to share files without connection, we browse privately, etc.
As we say, it is the browser that we find in iPhone but in Mini version. Now it can also be downloaded on our Android mobile.
Kiwi Browser, a browser with protection against cryptocurrency mining
