Given up on Firefox for phone!

To be fair it is a Beta version and it is supposed to protect you from lots of things, I just wist it wouldn't protect me from YouTube when I am looking at threads.
I have changed to a Mobile version of Chrome Beta and it so far appears to work better than Chrome usually does. It has a few interesting features, a bar at the bottom pops up asking what you want to do with passwords etc. There is no address bar until you pull down, so the screen is on full view most of the time, except when you have told it to do something.
Best of all I can now see the YouTube videos on the forum. However, I am not a fan of Chrome, so I will wait to see how it goes, it also insists you are logged into Google, even in Incognito Mode!
Well, if you are logged into Google in Incognito Mode it is not Incognito!

That aside it is working well so far, but if I have problems out it will go and you will be the first to know.

It is called Chrome Dev.

It is a cut down version of Chrome and so far appears a lot quicker than the full version of Chrome, which didn't last long on my phone, it was maybe the second to get kicked off after Facebook.

Farsebook as I call it!

Anyone like to suggest a good quick browser for phones/tablets/computers/iPads?

It does not matter if it only works on one platform.

Please let us know what you use.

It appears to work fine as well. We'll see how it goes.

I used to use Opra and Opra Mini, but I gave up on them.
Then I tried UC browser (this is Chinese, so many might avoid it) it worked very well, but I had to contact them a couple of times, they responded quickly and fixed the problem soon after.
GreeseMonkey was another, but it had some quirks.
Then I tried one other, but i can't remember what it was, I think it had a Blue Dolphin or Blue something, it worked fine, but it vanished!
They might have gave up on it, it was always updating, then one time it said to find an alternative browser!
So I used UC browser for a while, my phone at the time couldn't cope with a big browser, that has since been remedied.
Two phones further on and and I am using three browsers, all of which do some things better than others.
