use samsung browser
u have a good phone, i used to have it,
just use ADBAppControl and remove all those parasites

Is ADBAppControl safe to use, my phone is pretty new i don't want to take any risks..also assuming i have uninstalled some apps, will this conflict with future updates from xiaomi?

You have 2 solutions :
1/ Just put in Battery settings / Application Chrome "Not allow background data" for close Chrome quickly when minimized and not keep Chrome in background.
2/ Simply use the Chrome fork "Kiwi Browser', it's a Chrome fork enhanced :
- You can install extensions like a Chrome PC version (yes "Block Origin" baby)
- You can choose to close automatically Tabs / Browser when minimized or use "Quit"
- You can choose just a single home page at starting (like Chrome PC Version)
- You can apply a Dark Theme

I have tested Chrome 99.0 version and Firefox 98.3 on my Pixel 4a running Android 10 and found that for speed Chome is better, its faster than Firefox. But for battery life Firefox is better, Chrome drains almost double the battery used by Firefox. I will be personally using Firefox from now on. Its not slow by any means, its super fast, but its just that Chrome is even faster. I prefer less battery drain.
As you can see from my screenshots below, Chrome used for 1hr 3mins drains 5% whereas Firefox used for 2hr 5mins drains only 3%. Its not scientific test by any means, but I used both in the same manner.

- Firefox is open source
- Firefox or another browser like Brave are not linked with GMS/Google services from your phone.
- Firefox grant extension, so you can reduce drain by installing *Block Origin" for clean / light browsing usage data.
- Finally Firefox is the latest braowser not depending Chomium, Firefox is based on Gecko.
Yes there a lot of advantages to using Firefox, also for this reasons.

[Battery Usage Screenshot] Post It Here

Hey guys,
So, I am using the LG P990 2x on Cyanogenmod nightly build number 149. I am trying to see what your battery usage is like for all of you and what you do/did to get a high power drain or low power drain. The screenshot was taken at 1% battery remaining and I have also included the list of apps I have installed (will include it shortly).
Can you post yours? Maybe some of us can diagnose why the battery drain is so high.

Right. I will post that. I'm at 9 hours usage on my phone, without it being fully charged and my battery is still at 72& with me using the phone I regularly would. v10e firmware. I will post the screens you want.
Ok, on v10E ROM with the same usage (wifi keep alive on all the time) I got 1 day and 3 hours out of it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to provide a screenshot as the v10E gave me a SOD and I had to take out the battery and restart. Maybe spart parts would show me the last battery time.
Useing it only as phone. Wifi for 15 min. and around 1 hour of calls. No games etc

[Q] Full screen IE on WP8 device

Can't find this information on forum. Is it possible to have IE open in fullscreen (hide bottom bar with address and button)?
I am trying to work with a specific website which works great, but need just few more pixels to fit perfectly.
Anyone? It seems really bad. Some websites are showing as if my screen is 300x200 pixels, I can't zoom out, I can't hide browser bar, it's simply unusable. Is that some DPI setting? Are there any setting in windows phone you can change?
Seriously there's no way to hide URL bar in mobile browser? There's fullscreen view in every browser on my 27" monitor but I have to always see this bar in 4" small mobile screen?
You can't hide the bottom bar.
Concerning the inability to zoom out - that is something that some pages define using CSS in their mobile views. It might be worth it to try loading the page with the browser set to use the Desktop view. In the end many web developers do a terrible job in supporting mobile IE (which most likely still is because they have been hating IE6 for a long time).

How is uc browser compared with say chrome on iOS or android?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I don't have any experience with Chrome on iOS and although I do use Chrome on ICS, I prefer Boat or Dolphin.
Still, It's better to compare it to a mixture of Opera Mini and Opera mobile. There's a lot more features in UC Browser than IE (full screen, bookmark management and sync, orientation lock) and there are some features to help data usage on slower connections (like Opera Mini). Without using benchmarks, browsing is smooth, the launcher page is nice and the password saving is available should you want it. I wish that they would figure out a way to add flash (because there are apps to view flash videos on WP 7 and WP8) since I know that IE 10 wont.
Chrome in my opinion is a little clunky if you're not running it on a Nexus class device. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that it doesn't run background music and it doesn't run under lock, two things IE DOES do.
Well I was trying out IE on an 8X on WiFi today and it seemed to load pages faster than my nexus 7. But then i was only loading a page at a time but still it seems smoother and faster.

IE actually has a really good rendering engine. It does not support some features that are in Webkit (most of those are in experimental status though - but that has never kept Web Devs from using them anyway) but it is quite fast.
What is somewhat limited in the view of many is the functionality surfaced through it's UI. There are alternative browsers in the Marketplace that use IEs engine and add some UI enhancements along the way. For me personally the regular UI is good enough.

Well said. I bounce between IE, UC and other apps that run flash for my needs but that may not be ideal for everyone.

[GUIDE][REFERENCE][420PLACEBO4LYFE]Nexus 7 which browser is fastest - synthetic SPEED

Good evening, ladies and gents. Today I present to you a set of data, along with some of my interpretations of what it might mean. By all means, these results do not dictate what browser you should use, but with these results, I hope to provide some information that may or may not influence your choice of browser.
Now, let's get on to the raw numbers.
I conducted a total of five different tests with each browser. The results are as follow:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, about how these tests were performed. My device was, of course, a Nexus 7. Here are the system settings:
CPU @ 51 MHz up to 1.300 GHz with touchdemand governor, 4 cores enabled
GPU @ 416 MHz
BFQ IO Scheuler with 2048k Read Ahead Buffer Size
WiFi High Performance is Off, Smart Dimmer is off, FSYNC is On, ZRAM is off.
ROM is latest ParanoidAndroid Nightly (March 7, I believe)
Kernel is M-Kernel A-38, stock voltages
As for the tests themselves, they were performed through these steps to ensure accuracy and precision:
1. Close all open background apps (multi-tasking menu)
2. Open browser.
3. Search for the benchmark on google
4. If there is a preloader, click that
5. Run the benchmark
Note:
1. The theverge.com test is much more prone to errors as there are many more variables involved, such as download speeds, human error, and the like. I'm not a gamer so my reaction speeds are not the fastest.
Now, a look at the numbers.
I speculate that all of the browsers that received a 304 score on HTML5test use the same version/modification/flavor of webkit. Chrome Beta and Firefox Nightly received different numbers of points and bonus points so those two are obviously not the same, even without knowledge of ionmonkey and the different cores of the two browsers. After a little bit of digging, I found that Opera beta and Chrome seem to use the same webkit (although possibly opera implemented better HTML5 support). whatismybrowser.com reports both browsers as Chrome 25, and the scrolling lag in Chrome is also present in Opera. Chrome beta is recognized as chrome 26, and most of the other browsers register as just "Android Browser on Nexus 7".
Now, as for benchmark bias, there certainly is some. Kraken was made by Mozilla (same people who made firefox), Octane was made by google (obviously, chrome), and Sunspider was made by webkit (every browser listed uses a variant of webkit, except firefox nightly (?)). You can decide for yourself whether this has any impact on the scores.
Another point to bring up, is that scores do not equate to smoothness in any way. There is exactly zero relationship between benchmark score and smoothness of a browser, on the android platform. Chrome, while appearing to get decent scores, is, in mine and many others' experiences, horribly laggy, whereas sleipnir, one of the lower scoring browsers, scrolls much more smoothly.
I might update this with a browser that you want, if this gets popular enough, or if you ask nicely.
Graphs were made with excel 2013.
This is AWESOME! Thanks so much! I'm working on a Drive Spreadsheet to work out which one ranks the highest.
EDIT: Here's the spreadsheet LINK
Just going by the way they feel to use and not benchmark numbers, I say the AOSP browser is best.

[Q] What is the best browser for Moto X?

ps. I searched in forum and google before this and it didn't help either.
As in speed wise? I tested it all and I wanted to know peoples opinion. I have adaway and don't need no adblocker extension for browser. I tried doing the tests for each browser but it didn't actually help. And this is in speed and without lag. I noticed ever since I switched to Android I sense browser lag on sites like yahoo gizmodo engadget (loading comments) etc etc. Opinions?
Well my browser is ; Cm brower and i love it! Really fast and can custamiz a lot! Give it a try

Dolphin Browser for me.
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Chrome seems perfect for me. Allows me to send pages to and from my Desktop PC and syncs my bookmarks.
Chrome is good, is there a way to use it in full screen mode?
Puffins
Chrome Beta
Dolphin. You can set a home page, flash video works, touching a link automatically opens it in a new tab, pinch/zoom reflows the text to fit the screen (no scrolling from side-to-side, but not active on all sites).
Opera browser is the best for me with UC browser being a close second.
I won't use a mobile browser without good text reflow.
I found Firefox to have the best fluidity with vertical scrolling.
I use Naked Browser Pro. It's fast, has great features, and no bloat.
Boat Browser HD. Great at padding out useless spaces in pages. Also allows full xda editing/uploading.

+1 for Boat, free and simple good browser. id give dolphin a good rating if theyed stop changing where things are.. just to change... no need for that.. as bad as the gmail app.. some dipchit feels the need to change things just to change them... stupid.

i'm surprised people are using FF. the ONLY reason i installed FF was for Flash compatibility and even then it crashed more times than ran.
Chrome Beta for me. It's the closest to a desktop experience, plus the "tracking" between all of my devices is what's important to me. being able to pick up a site from a different device, open closed tabs from a different device, etc.
Maxthon HD is my favorite but on 444 it is too buggy. Boat HD comes closest.

It has extensive but well designed gesture customizations -in the paid version only- that not even Dolphin has (NCI).
Is dolphin the only browser with flash working properly in KitKat still?
I was a Naked Pro user too, but now it does not support Flash any more So switched to Opera, it isn't bad.
But the scrolling performance of Firefox is unmatched, the only thing keeping me from using it is a weird problem actually, whenever I comment something on GSMArena blog page, when I hit enter on my Swype keyboard it doesn't add a line, but just keeps adding a space instead of adding a line! Weird! It could be the Swype keyboard rather than Firefox itself, still. Maybe other keyboards work fine, but there's no point in trying as I'll never use another keyboard other than Swype. Wish it worked, really like the browser.
