Unlike Apple, which does not allow any browser other than (Safari) to be the default browser on their devices, we found that Google allows you to install any web browser from the Google Play Store and set it as the default browser, giving users of Android devices more options for browsing the Internet.
Here are 4 of the top alternative web browsers for Google Chrome on Android:
1- Mozilla Firefox:
Most of the web browsers available for the Android operating system depend on the open source Chromium engine, which means that they all load web pages in the same way, and most of them have the same performance, features and more.
But Firefox is a great exception to this rule, as it is one of the few browsers designed for Android devices and comes with a completely custom engine which is the GeckoView engine used in the desktop version.
Until recently, there was a big difference between the Firefox browser and the Chrome browser on Android phones in terms of performance and speed, but in the recent period many improvements have been made to the browser, especially in the field of speed that did something equivalent to the Chrome browser on Android.
But the main feature of using Firefox on Android is the large set of plugins that it supports, such as: uBlock Origin, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, in addition to other features such as: synchronization with Firefox accounts, Reader Mode and a site tracking blocker.
2- DuckDuckGo browser:
DuckDuckGo’s search engine is focused on privacy, and while it doesn’t come with many features, it does provide an excellent browsing experience, especially when it comes to protecting the user from online tracking.
The browser does not support syncing or installing extensions, but it blocks tracking tools by default, and provides a privacy rating for each website you visit with a complete list of all tracking tools used on the site and information on them in an easy to understand way, and includes the function of deleting all tabs and navigation data with a single click.
3- Kiwi browser:
The Kiwi browser first appeared in 2019 and is therefore considered relatively recent compared to other web browsers on this list, but it is unique in a feature that is not available in other browsers, which is its support for additions of desktop targeting Chrome.
In addition to all other known functions such as: Ad Blocking, Tracking Blocking Tool, (Dark Mode) and AMP Page Blocking Function.
4- Samsung Internet browser:
The Samsung internet browser appeared as a built-in web browser on Galaxy phones and tablets, but Samsung has provided it on all Android devices as of 2017, and this browser relies on the Chromium engine, but has a fully dedicated interface that accommodates the One UI user interface on Samsung phones.
It offers many advantages such as: tracker blocker, support for various navigation plugins, support for browsing on long-screen phones and full dark mode support that not only transforms the browser interface to a dark color but can also modify the appearance of websites to obscure them. further
