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.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196.
