Chrome on Android can be a bit much. It's undeniably a heavy browser, with not that many features to justify how many resources it takes up. There's no built-in reading mode, no ad-blocker, no tab management, no VPN, nothing. Chrome on mobile isn't even that customizable.

If you want more from your Android browser, you're not wrong. If you're willing to switch to a third-party browser, you can get a browser that's faster than Chrome, uses less resources, provides all those features I just talked about, and more.

There are many options to choose from, but here are my top 5 picks for Chrome alternatives, depending on what kind of user you are.
