Here I am going to provide list and review of top 5 browsers for android cell phones, these are best browser for your android phone and tablets. With the expanse of Android devices in the market, the browser additions have also seen the rise in demand and variation. From feature loaded browsers to simple browsing tools, Android browsers are building the competition with each better than the other.

This article gives top five Android browsers used on many Android devices as well as tablets.

Top 5 Browsers For Android

Chrome (Android Beta)

Chrome has proved itself as one of the best browsers for computers. Expanding chrome browsing, Google has now introduced its Android version. Supporting Android beta for only ICS devices, it has not compromised on the speedy browsing just as on computers.

Chrome, however, does not support FLASH based websites leaving you to open websites that do not have FLASH content. It seems all browsers are leaving FLASH for HTML5.

Opera Mobile Browser

Opera has been there for quite some time now. Besides being a heavy browser, it has still retained its popularity by giving out two versions varying according to the device type: Opera Mobile browser for smartphones and the like and Opera Mini is available for devices with comparatively lower specifications.

Opera team has shown ingenuity once again by incorporating a feature to Android browser that paces up the browsing more than usual. This feature, Opera Turbo, uses external servers to direct data to your device in a compressed state. Consequently, your device takes less data resulting in faster loading. Users that have data packs can take full advantage. However, there are instances when browsing slows down altogether even with Opera Turbo.

Firefox

Firefox for Android devices could not match the speed of its counterpart on desktops. However, what more than made up for this drop is the added feature, Firefox sync. It made sharing data like browsing history, tabs, bookmarks etc. possible across all devices.

Firefox stands out for having another integrated feature of keeping browsing tabs hidden to the left. They don’t come in your way and you can access them anytime by dragging them back from the side. Plus, while browsing through tablets or mobiles, you will experience websites offering their mobile compatible versions if you need.

Dolphin Browser

In the history of all Android browser releases so far, I would bet on Dolphin Browser to be the best of them all. Be it smoothness or the loading speed, Dolphin leaves them all behind.

In essence, it is identical to chrome in Tab styles. It comes with plugins or addons that get incorporated with the browser once installed. These include fullscreen modes, screen cut mode, web transformation to pdf etc.

Boat Browser

Sadly, it compromises on speed but it makes up for that by fully utilizing the device screen. It will automatically present you with a toolbar at the bottom of the page you are browsing through. What made it be added to this list of Android browsers is a feature I haven’t seen in any other browser. It allows you to control your device’s appearance to websites.

You can switch your device’s identity between Desktop, IE, iPhone, Firefox, iPad and Safari. According to the setting you choose, your website view will change. Additionally, add the websites you visit the most to home screen.

Adding a conclusion to this article, you should go for Chrome if speed is your ultimate browser requirement but for a complete browser package, I would suggest Dolphin.
