Not so well known Android browsers

Today, in this last day of Android Zoom’s Browsers week, we’re going to talk about alternative Android browsers; in case you want to change yours or simply look for a specific feature. The three browsers we’re going to discuss today are probably less known that the others, but equally worth it.

First of all, Miren Browser, the one created by MIUI developers. Fast and fluent, includes as a main characteristic a really practical home screen with:

- The best sites: a list featuring the 60 best Internet websites for a quick access.
- Favorites: organized by folders, most-seen and browsing history.
- eBooks: Integrated eBook searcher. Great, but only available in Chinese at the moment. Anyway, the idea is really good.
- RSS: RSS reader integrated, although it still requires some work.
- Downloads: Download manager.

There are also Firefox-like tabs and many more technical options, User Agent choice, security parameters, cache eraser and what we find most appealing: data traffic saving.
In short, good browser with a really clean interface. It may need a little more customization, though.

We can also talk about Maxthon Mobile, an interesting browser with many options: – Integrated RSS reader – Cookies, Browsing History and Cache management. – Gestures – User Agent changing facilities – Themes (Even 3D) – Firefox-like tabs. – Folders and Favorites sync It’s also really quick (probably quicker than Miren) but it also has its disadvantages: it can’t be saved to SD and the cursor trail (as if you were doing gestures all the time) can get pretty annoying.
 

Lastly, we find XScope Browser, a Goggle Chrome-like browser (with the exact same tabs). It’s also fast, maybe a little less than the others. What we don’t like is the fact that the Notification bar isn’t shown. Nevertheless, it includes a wide range of features:

- Appearance and Themes (show/hide tabs and bar).
- Plenty of website visualization options and User Agent facility.
- Android buttons customization, broswer buttons.
- Application options.
- Favorite manager.
- UI simplicity.

What do you think? Try them out and let us know your opinions.
