UC BROWSER Internet Browsing ] Office Mobile Apps ] Extensions Ensure you have a good browser, browsers are a big part of internet and content access.. Browser apps overcome the default app limitations with features like gestures, prebuilt home pages based on location, favorites and 1-click browing, add-ons like password management and many more features. Create your own gestures.. In dolphin. Chrome The big thing about chrome is syncing the state and the bookmarks of browsing between devices.. It lacks other browsers on speed, lag, memory management.. Most other features like gestures are provided by other browsers. Alternatives Opera mini Opera mini which I prefer has a very small footprint on storage and memory , shrinks data on transit.. A low light is that on select text while browsing it does not allow share, only copy / cut! Next This browser from go- launcher is very light and fast. Provides 1click pages
