Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNETI make no bones about not being a fan of the Chrome browser. I do not use it on my desktops, laptops, or phones — because Chrome is not all that concerned about user privacy.To make matters worse, Chrome is one of the most targeted browsers on the market. Although Chrome is one of the fastest browsers on the market, I feel better placing my security and privacy in the hands of more capable browsers.Also: I’ve tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)But what are the Android browsers I prefer over Chrome? There are five, and I am going to show the ones I prefer (and why). 1. Opera Besides a level of privacy Chrome cannot match, there are two reasons why Opera on Android tends to be my go-to.

Opera can be installed on Android for free from the Google Play Store. More
