Compact, quick Android web browser

Boat Browser is a quick, comfortable browser for Android phones that gives even the market leaders a run for their money.

Everything about Boat Browser is easy. The interface is large and crisp. Swipe gestures work well, the icons are large enough even for bigger-handed people to manage easily and the zoom feature is second to none. It handles video well, and has a set of both normal and advanced options that should keep both all levels of user pretty happy.

As you would expect, Boat Browser supports tabs. These are easy to manage, with a nice tab browsing feature available by clicking the bottom-right icon on the screen. The options in this bottom bar are useful. The star allows you to manage your favorites, which the + allows you to perform various options on your current page, such as setting as a homepage, adding to favorites or sharing.

Boat Browser also has a few features that you don't see in all browsers that definitely make the experience a bit smoother. For instance, there's a night mode, screenshot function and the ability to exit the app completely, in our opinion an undervalued option in many apps. You can also move Boat Browser to the SD card, lightening the load even more.

Boat Browser is an excellent browser option for those who want an all-round high performer.

Boat is my new browser. I love it!. I can't say enough good things about this browser. I used to use Opera and Dolphin browsers but was never happy with the speed with which pages loaded on my phone or tablet. Boat is very similar to Google Chrome in its simplicity and speed. I like the way it offers possible websites as you type in the address bar. Just get it! Pros: It beats Opera and Dolphin browsers for simplicity and speed. Supports multi-tabs. Is equal to Google Chrome on android tablets and it is the best browser that I have come across for android phones. Cons: None so far.

Best Browser for Complex Pages. I've tried Dolpin, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Opera Mini, Skyfire, and Miren as well, but none work as well as Boat Browser does when viewing complex pages that mix javascript, Flash video, and who knows what else. While I recognize part of the problem could be in how a site is designed, I have no control over that but can choose my browser. Boat is the best, hands down!
