More than 50 million downloads were provided by Yandex. Browser worldwide popularity. He won his audience due to the free distribution scheme, built-in protection from the Kaspersky Lab, speed and many other features.

It is noteworthy that this browser is a hybrid of many others, for example, the engine is used from Chromium, acceleration from Opera. Not without its own online store, where you can download the latest extensions. The only annoying factor is that Yandex actively imposes its product, both on computers and on smartphones and tablets, which discourages downloading it.

The name Naked Browser, which translates as "naked browser" speaks for itself. With only 200 KB of memory, the application will be a practical solution for the cheapest smartphones and tablets with a lack of free space. The browser differs from most competitors in the complete absence of functions and pre-installed add-ons. Downloading and browsing the web, as well as saving bookmarks - that's probably the whole functionality of the application.

In addition to being lightweight and not collecting user data, this simplicity has other benefits. Firstly, fast page loading in a simplified form can significantly save Internet traffic. Secondly, the browser is undemanding to other technical characteristics, such as processor power. Therefore, this is a great option for weak devices. Indeed, on budget devices, it will load sites many times faster than more bulky applications.

As everyone knows, it is Android smartphones and tablets that most often run on the Qualcomm chipset. However, despite the widespread use of this type of processor, finding a suitable browser for such devices is very difficult. Therefore, Rbrowser, designed specifically for Qualcomm, will be the best choice for most low-cost Android devices.

The application is quite light and does not take up too much space, as it does not have an excessive abundance of features. The functionality is basic, but includes everything you need: a customizable start page, night and full-screen display modes, settings for accessing location and other user data, and ad blocking. The browser even has a power-saving mode that will turn off the most power-hungry features. In addition, thanks to minimalism and optimization on Qualcomm devices, the browser works faster than many analogues.

Not as widely known as the leaders of the rankings, this browser for Android still deserves the title of one of the best. While Mercury isn't among the fastest browsers, it's definitely above average.

It allows you to not only download files in the background, but also pause or resume downloads with a single tap. The file manager will allow you to manage downloaded images, videos and created folders, as well as open them for viewing directly in the browser.

The presence of a private mode for data security, ad blocking and even password protection of the browser guarantees safe browsing on the Internet. The user also has access to standard gesture control, synchronization with popular browsers such as Firefox and Chrome, a built-in screenshot editor, and many other functions.

By its concept, Dolphin can hardly be called unique. However, some of its benefits will surprise even the most demanding web surfers. The browser itself is very economical, which makes its basic version universal for both simple smartphones with little memory and flagships. However, supported additional extensions can only be appreciated by owners of sufficiently powerful devices with good RAM. However, even without add-ons, the browser offers a lot of features.

In addition to the incognito mode and personalization of the interface design, the application also supports gesture control. Everyone can create gestures for this or that action by drawing them in a special editor. Swipe left or right, ornate spiral, smiley - the options are not limited by anything other than imagination and sleight of hand. However, it is important to remember that strong browser personalization can reduce the speed of the browser.

Launched in 2015, the full successor to Internet Explorer is faster and more interesting than its predecessor. The interface is devoid of unnecessary icons and extensions. The company decided not to reinvent the wheel and use the Edge HTML engine, instead developing the application on Chrome Blink, as evidenced by the vaguely Chrome-like interface. This is done due to the fact that this platform is the most simple and promising for users to master.

Of the convenient chips, it is worth noting the constant synchronization of data on all devices. It is also noteworthy to use the built-in AdBlock, which is disabled by default in the settings. Separately configured interaction with the stylus for tablets and smartphones.

The legendary Fire Fox was replaced by a modified Focus. It is a total privacy browser with a permanent internet gateway running in incognito mode. Blocking ads, trackers, intrusive pop-ups and other banners that can force users to follow their links and steal data. There is also no storage of cookies, passwords and any other information, which not only saves memory space, but also makes it easier to load pages when surfing the Internet.

Interestingly, for Germany, Switzerland or Austria there is a version of Klar, which differs only in the language pack. Another point - the browser can work with Safari, you just need to make some manipulations with the settings. The protection setting consists of 6 separate settings, which gives access to fine and multi-level browser settings. It actively blocks some elements of the interface of web pages, speeding up their loading.

Online store Samsung has more than 500 million downloads per day and occupies 5% of the market. The browser from the company of the same name is built on the basis of the same Chromium, but with proprietary modifications. It is installed by default on all devices. Samsung, but can also be loaded with play market. To run it, you need a system Android version 5.0 minimum.

Now about the functionality. There is an excellent support system for web payments, pop-up video. Possesses all kinds of security certificates for the system. Additionally, we highlight the most powerful blocking of ads and unwanted content. Remedy Knox provides the basic needs of the system to repel network attacks or block viruses and worms. Samsung has equipped its brainchild with advanced authentication using biometric parameters. The icing on the cake was the power saving mode, which indirectly increases the autonomy of mobile devices and tablets.

Excellent synchronization with the desktop version and improved storage mode make Opera a great browser. I am glad that the developers made sure that users do not download important extensions from third-party resources and provide their offspring not only with an ad blocker, but also with a VPN. Let's pay tribute to versatility, which, coupled with fast page loading and the widest range of settings, makes Opera as user-friendly as possible.

Another interesting thing to note is the "Turbo" mode, which not only does not waste extra system resources, but also includes traffic savings. This will speed up page loading. Together with that one can note a drop in performance when loading “heavy” pages and rare crashes.Also, many users note a confusing interface, which makes it difficult to master it.

The leader in the number of downloads by default settings in the system. The main advantage of the browser is countless supported plugins and deep integration into Android. The intuitive interface is equally well suited for both advanced users and beginners. The main browser for this browser is the legendary Chromium, which served as a prototype for the creation of many other browsers.

There is one big problem - the integration, which we enlisted as a plus, is also a minus. The bottom line is that services Chrome request and collect almost all information from your device. The built-in password manager will allow you to save any data, which makes authorization on servers quick and convenient. Among the shortcomings, a drop in performance when loading “heavy” ones can be noted.
