Which browser do you have if you use a tablet?

I have a Samsung Tablet and I normally use Chrome and it usually works fine. However it seems really buggy on this site and I'm fed up. So I'm looking for recommendations from fellow tablet users.

I have used Firefox on a laptop before but no idea if Opera, etc is any good.

Thanks!

Last time I tried Opera it seemed very slow, but that was years ago. I have an iPad and have tried Chrome, Firefox (my favourite when I had a Windows PC) and Brave, but end up reverting to Safari because at least the ads here are blocked. Not much help to you, OP, sorry! Everything I try atm is appallingly slow, but I think that’s because of the rubbish signal I get here (Australia).

Brave. Built in ad blocker on everything.

Opera for me - on phone, tablet and laptop.

There was a time when Opera didn't work that well on mobile devices - and the debacle with Opera Mini - but straightforward Opera now seems to work very well again.

Each to their own, but I can't understand why anybody would choose to use Chrome and Google, when you get the same thing from Opera and Startpage, but without being tracked at every single stage.

Personally, I've found Firefox to be a reliable alternative, especially since I've used it on my laptop before. It's like having a familiar friend along for the browsing journey.

As for Opera, I haven't given it a whirl myself, but I've heard mixed reviews from friends. Some swear by it, while others say it's not their cup of tea. It might be worth a shot if you're feeling adventurous though!

Oh, and speaking of exploring new options, have you ever heard of OctoBrowser? It's a nifty little tool I stumbled upon when I was looking for ways to manage multiple accounts hassle-free.
