The best Android web browsers allow you to tailor your browsing experience to whatever you want it to be. This is one type of customization you can expect from your Android phone.

Although iPhone users can now set a default browser other than Safari, thanks to the iOS 14 update, Android users have enjoyed this freedom for years.

With Android 11 available on new phones, now is the best time to check out the best web browsers that suit your tastes.

The best Android web browsers of 2021

The following best Android web browsers offer powerful features for both their mobile version and their desktop version, and they also allow you to sync your browsing experience across different devices and platforms.

1. Google Chrome

The most popular web browser on Android phones, Google Chrome, gives you the ability to access passwords that you have stored in your Chrome account, according to Tom’s Guide.

Google Chrome is a dominant browser in the market, and it is the most trusted option as every web developer takes this into account when building a website.

Google Chrome offers additional features like data saving mode, secure storage for payment methods, ad blocker, pop-up blocker, and machine translation in many languages.

2. Opera

Opera is another browser with a reliable mobile and desktop version. Opera has a data server mode that compresses standard videos and web pages, and that’s what makes it different from the other web browsers on the list.

Due to its single data server mode, pages load faster because data is reduced. If you don’t have an unlimited data plan yet, this feature won’t require you to burn off your monthly data allowance so quickly.

Opera also has a built-in free VPN-like feature that gives you an IP address, although you can’t use both the VPN feature and data-saving mode.

The VPN feature allows you to access restricted websites and also loads sites blocked in your country, according to Android Police.

3. Firefox

Much like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox is a popular browser choice for Android users. All of your history, passwords, and favorites will automatically sync if you create a Firefox account and sign in to your devices.

You can also customize Firefox if you want, as there are many themes and extensions you can choose from, according to TechRadar.

Firefox users who are aware of their online safety can take a look at the Firefox Focus update, a feature that clears your history, password, bookmarks, and cookies to prevent ads from tracking you.

4. DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser

DuckDuckGo might not be as popular as the other browsers on the list, but what makes it one of the best is that it keeps your activities private. A button to the right of the search bar will automatically delete all your online activities.

DuckDuckGo also removes any ad trackers that try to follow you every time you log in. It will also default to the highest encryption available on the website you are visiting.

5. Microsoft Edge

Although Microsoft Edge does not support extensions, it does offer a lot of extension-based extras in other apps, such as translation services, ad blockers, password manager, price checker. and NewsGuard.

NewsGuard is a feature that rates news websites on their credibility and transparency.

Microsoft Edge’s reading list feature is also great, as it provides the full page instead of the short or text version of an article.
