The Best Android Browser


I like everyone used to use chrome on my phone. Well because it is preloaded on to my phone and I also used chrome on my PC. So there was no reason to think otherwise, right? Well, I used to do that before I got into tech. When I was an uninformed user. But you do not need to remain uninformed, as I am here to help you decide which browser is the best for you!

Now, if you are heavily invested in the Google ecosystem. then go on keep on using Chrome. By no means is it a bad browser. It is just a tad bit resource intensive.
However, if you are open to the possibility of change, then here is the best browser for Android according to me.

Brave: 

Brave is founded by the co-founder of Firefox. The browser, however, is based on chromium and the blink engine. What this means is that this browser is wicked fast. It looks and feels exactly like Chrome. So Chrome users should feel right at home. But, it lacks the nags of Chrome. For example, it consumes a lot less battery, when compared to Chrome and also blocks intrusive ads. In my experience, it does not block all ads, only the ones which are annoying. 
The only drawback with using Brave is that it lacks any cloud syncing, so all your data is only on your device. It is to improve privacy according to them. And I think it is the reason for its low resource consumption.
In all Brave is a compelling browser and is my daily driver. It provides only the features which you need and is privacy-focused!

Firefox: 
But, Geekman what if I am a power user? you might ask. Then my friend the browser of choice for you should be Firefox. Firefox is a seriously underrated browser in the Android ecosystem. It is an open-source browser from a reliable name with plenty of features. The browser is just like its desktop counterpart and provides the end user with total control! Everything on the browser can be controlled by you. From the UI to what syncs and what doesn't. If that was not enough the browser has add-ons support. The add-ons ecosystem is also rich and should provide you with all your add-ons need! From blocking ads to playing YouTube videos in the background. You ask Firefox shall do! 
Reading Mode in Firefox
However, all these additional features might make the browser feel bloated, hence I will only recommend Firefox to the geeks out there. Who knows what they are doing. 
Firefox Focus:
This is another browser by Mozilla for the privacy-focused users. It does not save any user data and is very lightweight. Using is like using a browser with incognito mode turned on all the time! Useful when you need to visit those sites which should not be named😉. I like to call it the ultimate privacy browser.

So I watched Baby Driver

I live in this country where it is nearly impossible for a moviegoer like me to get to watch all the latest blockbuster with the world! Either the movie does not get released or even worse it gets released and you have to go and waste your hard earned money on a trip to this small filthy room known as the movie theatre here to “enjoy” a movie. Well, I refuse to go through this ordeal, hence I have to wait for the movie to be available on the windows store (my preferred destination for movies and series) and enjoy the blockbusters the way they were meant to be enjoyed. So baby driver a return to the big screen for director Edgar Wright after his infamous exit from Ant-Man is one hell of a ride. Right from its first scene of our lead Baby listening to music while escaping from police. Shows what the movie is about. It is a heist drama wrapped in a musical. The concept is delightfully fresh and coupled with the excellent music track to the scenes, which are classic Edgar in style, m...

Someone is back in town!

The third season of Supergirl premiered this week. A series which I first started to watch because of the “hot chick” portraying SuperGirl, has now become of my favourites in Arrowverse. Last season ended with Kara losing the love of her life Mon-El. And this season begins with her questioning her decision! This is the most human that Supergirl is ever going to be. We see her shut off from the rest of the world. Kill Kara one might say and focus on chasing bank robbers and putting them behind bars. She even quits her job! The season premiere tries to be character heavy, something which I was not expecting it to be. The episode, however, introduces plot points for the rest of the season to build on. At first, we see the introduction of a new villain, whose name I have forgotten, a builder who plans to improve his business by levelling the place where the Supergirl statue is built. Next up we see an unknown ship into the ocean right at the end. And if that was not enough, anothe...

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...
