Web browsers for Android
Your browser is the app you probably open more than any other, so it's worth picking one on purpose. The Android browsers listed here differ mostly in three things: how much tracking they block by default, which engine they run on (most use Chromium, Firefox uses Gecko), and what they add on top, such as built-in search, AI assistants, sync or a VPN. Every page links to the official build on Google Play or the developer's own site, shows the latest version number and release notes, and explains which permissions the app asks for and why. If you're switching browsers, check the import options first: most can bring over your bookmarks and saved passwords from Chrome, which makes moving a lot less painful.
