My son recommend this app for me because I have an older Android and sometimes it just takes forever to download something. I guess he was tired of me calling him to ask why my phone was so slow, was I doing something wrong. He was here this weekend, downloaded the app for me and I could not be happier. It is so much faster than it was, I couldn't be happier. More

I know there are a lot of lightweight apps and even bigtime browsers design lite versions of their apps like but UC Browser Mini is still the fastest android browser for me. the minimalist lighweight browser design saves me data and battery power, both of whcih are precious to me since I am poor!!!

UC Browser Mini is a quite bloated piece of software that doesn't include many essentials. Missing is an ad blocker, I would constantly get ads while using this. It's frustrating when the software is slow to begin with. More

by Zachary Stewart

Opera mini is a great alternative to chrome. Since both browsers are from Google, there really isn't much difference. The one thing I do not like about opera is how everything that is usually in a task bar, is hidden in chrome. But the running rate and everything that is does matches chrome and all the others browsers. Good choice. More
by Gregory Simpson
once i tried using opera mini because my crhome kept lagging, never really looked back at chrome or firefox or other browsers.
by Jesús Gallegos
I really liked using Opera Mini. It was really fast and lightweight - didn't take up a lot of storage at all but it still had all the features I needed. More
by Benjamin Baker

by Angela Spencer
My phone was getting really clogged up with apps and games and such. I decided to cull it down some, and also try out a lightweight browser instead of the default one since that gets bogged down sometimes. Puffin is not what I really needed, it crashes a lot and I don't know if it's optimized for all phones... More
by Joe Hamilton
I am torn between Puffin and Dolphin browser for android, but I give the slight edge to Puffin. I get less ads, and from the reviews that I read it is safer and has better bandwidth management. but that's just my two cents on this lightweight browser issue. More
by Robert Robinson
nice light browser.i don't know if it is a placebo effect but I think I've seen less ads since using puffin on my phone.
by Edward Cole
Great App! can save me money thanks to its proprietary compression algorithm and finally i can see any flash content on my browser and play my favorites flash games! and it has a fast page load and a great security features More
by Shreyas Jhadav
Now I'm not a huge seeker of alternative browsers kind of guy but I can actually see why you would want to on mobile. Mobile browsers can be clunky or slow and this one seems like it is a good option to try out to see how well it works on your device compared to chrome. More
by Jeremy Cox
I was looking for a quick browser for my android device, so I gave the Puffin browser a chance from the Google Play store. This app is super quick - the internet really flies on it. I like the clean interface and ease of use. I will definitely keep using this going forward. More

Dolphin browser is a dream come true for me. After started using Dolphin Browser I never had a second thought . Its really attracting especially the features it comes with are worth a try. I like its feature of opening and switching between web pages with multiple tabs at the top of the screen and using voice to search in Dolphin is a cool feature with the busy schedule i have. More
by April Duan
I agree with Jacob, my android phone rarly lags now because dolphin browser really is not that much of a space taker in terms of RAM.
by Nicholas Harrison
This is a great browser for Androids. I have used this browser many times and it runs just as well as Chrome of Firefox. It is easy to install and download as well. More
by Jacob Stewart
I have a cheap android phone and my problem are always the space and the RAM consumed by the apps. I found that the browser Dolphin it's not just light to run and low RAM consuming, but it also reduced the amount of occupied space on my device. I suggest its use to every android user! More
by Brian Bell

Android browser is too slow and bloated. Chrome dumps memory like crazy. Firefox just loads too slow for me. Then I found Opera Mini, which has been a great browser for my needs. I don't have a huge data plan, so every megabyte saved is important, and Opera Mini does just that. It may not be the fanciest browser, but I just needed something to get me around the worldwide web. Thanks Opera! More
by Johnny Ortiz
this one uses very low ram and all my android devices started running smoother once I used this instead of chrome, which eats up all my ram.
by Diane Carroll
Not a lot to see and the features are basic. It needs some work.
by Howard Nelson
An elegantly designed browser that's a joy to use and easy to understand. It's become my go to browser. Fast, fun and packed with useful features, I'm having more fun with this browser than any other I've used. Opera knocked it out of the park, with this one! More
by Bobby Hudson
The most annoying thing about using an Android phone is how slow the browser is. Friends that have iPhones never seem to have the problem of pages loading up quickly. I am glad that I found Opera Mini. It totally increased the speed at which web pages on my phone loaded up. You don't realize how seconds matter until you see a difference in speed. More

by Raymond Keller
Oh, yay, another web browser. Granted, I put it on my Android (one of the non-exploding Samsungs), so it's not like it's competing on my desktop, but still. Chrome works fine on here; Ghostery is just a quasi-clever hack of an app. I installed it buying into the privacy hype, but it kept crashing, and I have no way of knowing if it actually is sending less data about me.
Moreby Andrés Ochoa
A ver good app to protect your privacy. The reviews give it 4.1 stars, should really help you keep your personal information personal.
by Ethan Nichols
I got tired of having my browsers hijacked by spammers looking to use my data to make a quick buck. I installed Ghostery Privacy Browser and haven't looked back since. It keeps my data away from prying eyes and gives me full control about who I share my data with.
Moreby Randy Watson
Amazing browser, makes me feel much safer while browsing on line. Runs smooth and is so customisable!
by Jerry Huang
I don't know what Raymond's problem is bu Ethan is right, this is a necessity in today's internet. Many people would take advantage of my browsing habits

Guys believe me you'll save a lot in data and battery if you use the lite version of Firefox. My android phone and tablet, which are old-modeled and has small batts, now lasts longer and performs better since I switched to the Lite one. one of the best lightweight version of browsers for me. More

Moreby Brian Salazar
I thought the Maxathon web browser was super fast and efficient. It strips back lots of the unnecessary nonsense and provides a speedy platform for my android phone.
Moreby Jordan Fields
Seems to be a subpar browser with rebooting errors and an inability to use tabs. Not sure why anyone is trying to improve on Chrome or Firefox at this point.
Moreby Ronald Fernandez
this browser is pretty fast for when needing that extra power.It seems to be a really big benefit when using from day-to-day.
by Humberto Bravo
This browser is not user-friendly whatsoever. Half of the time the browser doesn't even work as a browser. Don't waste the space on your phone.
