The best web browsers for Android in 2021
There are a lot of browsers out there, but only a handful we actually recommend

The best web browsers for Android in 2021

This story was originally published and last updated . 

There is an incredible number of browsers available on Android, but there are only a few that are actually worth considering. That's because all browsers rely on one of only two rendering engines available on the mobile OS, Firefox' GeckoView and Chrome's Blink. That's why the only thing you're gaining from using another browser is a slightly different interface. But some developers have added genuinely useful features on top of what Mozilla and Google offer, and that's why we're here, helping you separate the wheat from the chaff.

In the post, we'll go over some of the best web browsers available for Android.

See it as a chance to get the perfect charger for your needs

These are the best chargers for your Samsung Galaxy S21 (since it doesn't come with one)

This story was originally published and last updated . 

When Samsung launched its Galaxy S21 series, it was among the first manufacturers to follow in Apple's footsteps — like the Cupertino company, Samsung removed chargers from the box. The manufacturer explained the move was made for environmental reasons, saying that most people already have compatible chargers at home and wouldn't necessarily have to get yet another one. But what if you do want or need a new charger to go with your new Galaxy S21? We've got you covered with a fine selection.

Because you deserve better than your stock app

Ten alternative gallery apps to better manage your photos

This story was originally published and last updated . 

For years, QuickPic was one of the first applications I would install on my phone, without even bothering to use the phone's default gallery app. It was small, fast, efficient, and free, but has sadly disappeared at the end of 2018. For a while, I've been trying to find a decent replacement, and some of the below apps are great candidates to become your next go-to gallery app.

We've updated this post with a few more apps, which we didn't cover in the initial post.

The 8 best 2FA apps on Android

This story was originally published and last updated . 

Your online accounts are much safer when you rely on more than only a password, and that's where two-factor authentication (2FA) apps come in. You can use them to create an extra layer of security for your accounts, requiring you to enter a one-time password (OTP) in addition to your regular credentials when you log in. That prevents hackers from accessing your account with a stolen password only.

The 20 best tablet-optimized apps for Android
Apps that actually are designed for large screens

The 20 best tablet-optimized apps for Android

This story was originally published and last updated . 

Google hasn't had much of an interest in Android tablets since the days of the Motorola XOOM and Android Honeycomb. As a result, most of the company's apps aren't designed with tablets in mind, and third-party applications have largely followed suit. Sure, Android tablets can technically run all Android apps, but many of them have stretched-out layouts that were intended for 6-inch screens. Some even force a portrait orientation (Google Tasks, I'm looking at you).

It can be hard to find applications with well-designed tablet interfaces, especially when the Play Store's only criteria for the "Designed for tablets" label is developers adding a large screenshot to the app listing.

6 Android productivity apps designed to help you work from home

This story was originally published and last updated . 

When it comes to working from home, as so many of are learning, distractions are everywhere. Be it your kids, partner, or simply the opportunity to walk out the front door at a moment's notice, it can be hard to maintain a sense of productivity without proper discipline. Some of us simply may not find the right balance of work time, break time, and off hours to keep ourselves sane, and at that point, work can start to feel like your entire life. When the office never actually closes, you never leave. We have a few apps we think can help you manage your time better, be more productive, and also help you set reasonable boundaries when working from home.
