Looking for New Browser


Recommended Posts

Edit....

 

You didn't say in your post this was for Android.

 

I currently use Samsung Browser, you don't need a Samsung phone for it, the addons i use for it are the add blocker and last pass.

No matter what, I keep going back to Chrome. 

 

Can anyone suggest a browser that has a translate option (so couldn't go with Opera mini) and that works with LastPass? 

 

Thanks

You can use Yandex Browser. It has translate option and support for native Chrome extensions. I've been using it for a while now.

I've been using Brave browser for a while now and really like it.

 

It's still chromium based so it has the built in translation but doesn't have googles tracking/bloat. Plus it includes a built in ad blocker and a few other nice features :)

edit: just realized your question was in the android section :doh: but my points still stand; just took out the extensions comment above; the desktop version does support extensions from the chrome webstore though :)

There shouldn’t be much performance difference. Both are based on Chromium. 

Try it out for yourself if you haven't.

I'm sure the ad blocking is a large factor of it feeling like it performs better :)

It's faster even without ad-blocking. I've tried this on my 6P, and my S8+. Chrome is definitely not as responsive.

I have. Didn’t notice much difference myself 🙂

So far, tried a few of the popular ones like Nox, Mint, Kiwi but something about them has made me move on. I should start a list here.

I have a feeling though that Chrome just works with everything I want.

 

Brave didn't offer to translate a page (rare that I need this though). 

It also doesn't suggest a username with LastPass, only offers to fill in a password after I typed in a username.

 

Trying out Yanex but when logging in here, it didn't come up with the LastPass prompt.

Some browsers don't automatically popup the fill helper, you can try pulling the lastPass autofill down from the top of your device(3 dots) when on the login page this may or may not give you and fill in the login details, but it does often work for Opera Internet Browser(not mini) and Samsung Internet Browser it also works with Edge and probably some others if your phone is setup correctly although i couldnt get it to fill on the Yandex browser for Neowin.

Just tried Opera.

 

It didn't pop up with a LastPass suggestion when logging in here.

 

Is there a setting I need to change to enable this? It's already enabled in LastPass (to show a pop up). In Chrome it shows automatically with no input from me.

 

 

Tried the Samsung browser too and the same thing happens, no pop up.

 

Tried the Brave browser again and it seemed not to work with LastPass popup as before but after giving it another try, it seems to now suggest usernames AND passwords. However LastPass warned me:

Interesting that it shows Brave (neowin.net) in bold, almost as if Brave is somehow changing the way LastPass sees a URL. 

Hmm.

It won't popup automatically on all browsers, what you have to do is make sure the lastpass app is running, you should see 3 dots for it at the top left of your phone.

 

When on the login page pull the top down and click them and they may auto fill for you, sometime it asks you to make sure the correct part of the screen is visible.

 

Edge will work like Chrome btw.

    • Apart from a few very specific hiccups, Windows 11 has been good for me. Rock solid and stable. Unpopular opinion, I know, but it's mine.
    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
