Though I still prefer my trusty old laptop for my net
browsing, it is very true that most people now have to access the internet on
the go. Busy lives require innovations and now most websites are even designed
primarily with the smartphone size and format in mind.
Still, most android users, for example, still stick to their
stock browser and standard options. While the more proficient users opt for the
free or paid custom apps available to get things done smoother and faster.
I am here to give you guys, two apps you really need if you’re
working with a medium – low speed internet connection and a moderately powerful
android device. Trust me, these two apps might just make your lives a bit
easier.
The first app you definitely need to install is,
OPERA MAX
This is NOT a browser from Opera. No, it is a VPN and data saving
app. It is free to download and works with very little power consumption on
your phone. It basically saves you a lot of data while browsing, and you even have
the option of deciding which apps of yours can access the net and which apps
need to be streamlined when it comes to net usage. It automatically creates a
VPN for you to do all of this.
I have been using this for some time now, and I can genuinely
see a change for the better in my android net surfing.
Download Opera Max
After you install this, you need to take care of your
browser situation. The stock browser your android gives you is good, but it is
just that – good. There are plenty of better alternatives available online for
free.
While you will find a lot of browsers which advertise themselves
as and sometimes are lighter and faster for surfing, it can be a bit confusing
to choose one and not doubt your choice.
Fear no more, for I bring you a little known but better
option.
Firstly, you need to install the Google Chrome Beta as your
browser, BUT this is not the one you will be surfing the net with.
No, for that you will be using an app called,
CHROMER
Chromer is a privately developed app that basically gives
you the option to use just tabs to browse the net.
Confused? Simply put, it draws the features from the
installed Chrome browser on your phone, but without opening up the whole
browser, it provides you with a light, less data and power consuming interface
to browse pages. IF you need the full browser features to interact with the
page you have chosen, then it also gives you the option of opening the page in
the fully fledged Chrome Browser.
Again, this is an app I have been using for some time and it
makes the whole process of surfing a lot faster and it consumes less battery.
And that is the main advantage here. It increases your device’s battery life.

So there you go. Two small apps that will make your net
experience a whole lot easier, as promised.
Don’t wait guys. Try them out now!
