Firefox
Firefox for Android is a web browser for the Android platform
which is built on the same technology platform
as Firefox for desktop computers, just optimized for browsing on a
mobile device.
Firefox has a wealth of features including Firefox Sync to
bring your desktop history, bookmarks, open tabs, passwords and form
data across computers and mobile devices. Add-ons let you customize the
look and functionality of Firefox, and the Awesome Screen helps you get
where you want to go faster.
Features:
- Screen pops up just by tapping on the location bar.
It instantly brings up a smart list of your favorite history items and
bookmarks and lets you easily select a search engine for your desired
search
- Sync - Access your browser history, bookmarks, passwords
and open tabs from any device
- Master Password: Added support for one master password to
help users encrypt saved usernames and passwords for increased security
- Tabbed browsing
- Bookmarking
- Add Bookmarks to Your Home Screen: Users can now bookmark
any website and add it to their Android Home Screen. From the Home
Screen, the user can launch the bookmarked website with one click
- Use apps like Google, Twitter and Facebook to keep your
friends in the loop
- Location-aware browsing saves you time by allowing
websites to ask you where you are
- Pinch to zoom in and out, or double-tap
- Customizable security settings to manage passwords,
cookies, loading images and installing add-ons
- Over 160 add-ons available
- Internationalization support: More than 10 different
languages are supported
Verdict:
Firefox for Android brings you many of the
features that are
available on the desktop version of Firefox. We particularly like
Firefox Sync and the range and breadth of add-ons is unparalleled. It has the fastest
SunSpider benchmark of any Android web browser and the latest version
feels remarkably responsive at loading pages on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
