Android apps that will change the way you browse the internet.

Do you spend more time surfing the internet or do you download stuff more often? If it's a yes to any of these questions, follow along, and even if it's a no, stick with me. It gets better than this.

Surfing the net could be a pain especially while connected to a slow internet. Not only the privileged can enjoy the fruits of the internet but we also we who always connect to slow internet.

Following is the list of Android apps that will change the way you browse the internet even when connected to a slow internet.

1.  UCBrowser

One of those apps is UC browser. It is a web browser like many others. But what makes it better than others is: Downloading almost anything is swift, pages load fast, and it connects to a 2G network also. It has its cons too, one of the noticeable ones is that occasionally pages refresh while reading or navigating through lengthy pages, perhaps that's where Google Chrome comes into the picture. The lack for saving pages for offline access is another reason one might not want to rely on this browser alone. The User Interface (UI) looks clean and neat, there is no trouble finding your way around. If saving pages for offline reading is not a primary need, and you don’t mind pages refreshing, then you won't go wrong with this one. 

2. Google Chrome

This one is good on every basic aspect, in either reading articles or consuming media. For those who do YouTube a lot, there is no better app than this, even the YouTube app itself seems like a joke (when connected to a slow internet). The customization level is not that much but the experience is smooth, and there is no need for extras unless you really enjoy playing around with stuff. Downloading large files is probably the only reason one would need another app to fill the gap, remember UC Browser is good at this! If downloading video is what you frequently do, make sure to check the next app.

3. VidMate

Saying its good with downloading videos, sounds like a downgrade, this app works like magic. It supports reasonably many sites; YouTube, Sound Cloud, and Facebook are on the list. And downloading videos is fairly simple. Download the app and open it up, head over to any desired site, use the search bar to search any file and the download option will pop-up and follow along from there... It does support downloads for other file types but you shouldn't expect to do much.

4. APKPure

Apk files are Android apps. APKPure is an android app which is designed mainly for browsing and downloading Android apps. It does what its intended to and it outdoes it. Saving data and time are the cores of this app, it even put the Google PlayStore to shame, but only in faster downloads not with the large category of apps. Be sure you are familiar with side-loading apps; just head over to Settings and then Security, and turn-on the radio button on "Unkown sources".

5. Facebook lite

Well, we all use Facebook. Or at least most of us do. There are many issues with the main Facebook app, it eats up more space, drain more battery and also consume more data like hell. So Facebook lite makes a lot of sense, and its existence is a blessing. Not only does it play nice on the battery, but it also connects to a 2G network and not only that, it's lightweight and it looks good too. There are compromises you'll have to make though, one being the lack of features that are present on the main app but all the basics are covered and you'll enjoy nonetheless.

6. Opera Mini

Remember I said UC Browser lacks that ability to save pages for offline access! Opera Mini is good at that and it does it perfectly well. Its other outstanding features are the night mode and also data saving mode. I use this app mainly for saving pages so I will read them later offline.

7. DirectChat

Remember those bubbles on Facebook Messenger, well this app does just that. It replicates those bubbles for other social media too. It supports WhatsApp, Instagram and more. Once the app booted up, set it up for any app of your choice, and you’re done. Once you receive the notification, tap on that bubble, reply and swipe down to close the app. This lets you respond to people quickly without the need to leave whatever you’re doing.
