Share your favorite, go-to, most loved Android Browser here and why you prefer it over the rest!
I use Samsung Internet Browser. I like being able to have my tab bar, and address bar at the bottom of the screen. It has dark mode for all web pages, it also gives me the option to use my system font for the web pages. Has ad blockers that you can install, so I never see any ads.
Iceraven.
Brave.
Mull.
Because fuck their digital nosiness
I use Samsung Internet Browser since that Firefox removed the tab bar.
Opera/Opera GX, just for My Flow - a feature allowing easy file and text transfer between PC and mobile, functioning somewhat like a WhatsApp DM.
Does only Opera GX do the text / file transfer? Seems like that’d be handy in the main app
The regular Opera browser also has that feature. My Flow can also be linked between Opera and Opera GX. Sadly, I don’t see a similar feature in other browsers.
Firefox
Firefox and Vivaldi. Both have ad blockers and bottom address bar. With Firefox I use some additional add-ons, like Consent-o-Matic, but the Vivaldi interface is nicer and very customizable. I also use the DDG browser for occasional searches.

Until a year ago, I was using Firefox. I made the switch to Brave, because I wanted the Chromium functionality ( I still think Chromium is designed perfectly to use on mobile. ) but I didn’t want any ads ruining it.
But, that might change, I heard about Kiwi here, I’ll definitely take a look, extension support with Chromium functionality, that sounds too good to be true. Definitely will try.
Edit: Definitely try it, you will love it. It’s not just Chrome with extensions. It also has some features you are missing on mobile, like DevTools. It has Chrome’s own ‘ad blocker’, may not be effective but I downloaded Ublock, which gets the job done. Super, super cool.
Vivaldi, for sync between desktop and mobile, blocking ads and trackers, notes feature, and interface customization.
I love Firefox, but I can’t live without Chrome’s tab grouping. I just don’t understand why Mozilla don’t add this to Firefox.
Firefox because it has uBlock Origin built in.
Firefox, mostly because I use mobile browsers so infrequently that the choice makes almost no difference to me (So I use what I use on desktop). Having μBlock Origin is nice too. There are a few things that annoy me about it, like not remembering which sites I set to view in Desktop mode, but overall it works fine for what I need.
I was using Samsung Internet but stopped because it simply does not work with Bitwarden’s auto fill. Moved to Firefox but it is comically slow, takes at least 10 seconds to load any page. I’m now trying Vivaldi and so far I have no immediate complaints.
