The stock of pre-installation applications in Android considerably makes life easier as you have the software necessary for the main tasks, but There is life beyond Google and in some cases it is better.
Although I was moderately satisfied with Google Chrome and I tried other most interesting alternative browsers, at the end, I always ended up returning to the default. Until I install this Android this Fast and clean browser and I don't want to go back to Google Chrome.
Why Soul Browser convinced me
His name is Soul Browser, has a 4.5 out of 5 score on Google Play Store and is available for free on Google Play Store. Once you have installed the application on the mobile and open it, you can start manipulating it without too much mystery because it is apparently, it is A minimalist and intuitive browser.
Thus, he has the classic search box in the upper area, the favorite star, refresh, move back and go back, go home, open the windows … lightest icons so that you always keep 'Spirit what you are going to do before even press them. But this feeling of lightness is not only present in its appearance, but also in the navigation, because it commonly moves websites. It's going for a blow.
I mentioned the main icons, leaving one then because it is its great asset: The long list of available functions. If you touch the three horizontal lines of the upper right corner, the surprise is available in a huge drawer of public services.
In fact, the first thing you are going to find when you open this drop -down menu is a red shield with a number: they are The announcements you blocked. It is activated by default, but you can deactivate it if you consider it practical and customize it with several advertisements, authorize or not the images, configure the white list and the exceptions.
The truth is that with the bases it already shows. Nevertheless, If you are a person jealous of your privacyHe has advanced security functions so as not to follow or incognito mode.
Other things that you can do good at first is Translate the web just by touching a button And without resorting to external applications, switching from text to audio to listen to the website in the Podcast style, share to play with Chromect, save the page or pass it to PDF, see only the images and download them, pass On the full screen, go to fashion management in one hand, exchanging mobile or desktop mode.
The previous ones are interesting, but my favorites are the functions that allow, the video player with the support of the subtitles (ideal for the tablet), download directly videos and that of Edit images directly from the browser. And this without entering the parameter options, where there is a cleaning mode or different conceptions to choose from you. In fact, that it is so complete and customizable implies a handicap: to obtain the whole game, it is necessary to give it a good criticism.
It is surprising everything that offers without any limitation or bonus block because it mentioned above is free, but it has a face B: from time to time You can find the occasional adSo if you want to get rid of it, you will have to pay a single payment of 1.59 dollars. I haven't done it and for the moment the experience is more than good.
