Best Android browsers of 2013

Whether you're trying to win an internet contest or just surf the Web, these are the apps that connect you with all the information the Internet has to offer. Firefox (Free) What's incredible about the Android version of Firefox is that it feels as mature, if not more so, than its desktop counterpart. It's lickity-split fast, and its clean design is a joy on mobile. Mozilla makes a big point about how they don't collect your data, and I was pleased to see that the app comes with a full compliment of security settings — including an option to protect your information from advertisers. Opera browser for Android (Free) Not to be confused with its Mini cousin, Opera is a full-fledged browser for Android. With a slick design, it aims to be your gateway to web content with features like a built-in news portal and the Opera mobile apps store. It also includes an "off-road" mode to quickly load webpages while taking it easy on your data plan. Opera Mini browser for Android (Free) Don't let its old-style appearance fool you: Opera Mini is a clever little browser designed to thrive where network conditions are not their best. And it doesn't skimp on features, giving you access to special Opera web apps; a handy homepage complete with news and social media updates; and a surprising array of powerful security settings. Dolphin Browser (Free) A clean, tabbed browser, Dolphin delivers a very nice user experience on Android almost making you forget that you're on a mobile device. Dolphin also supports tight integration with services like Evernote and LastPass, as well as robust settings. My favorite feature is gestures, which might not always be efficient but are definitely cool to use.
