Best Android Browser for Faster File Download

Here are the Best Browsers to Download Large Files at Greater Speeds to Ensure Quick Download on Android.

Opera Browser for Android

One of the oldest Android browsers, Opera is very much capable of downloading files at great speed. On top of that, you get one of the smoothest UI experiences that any browser has to offer. Likewise, it is also able to download videos from many different sites, without even the need of any proxy.

Opera has many versions: one is its lite-weight Opera Mini, then there are two beta builds for testing experimental features. But if you are looking for downloading large chunks of files, the original Opera Browser stands out among all its other builds.

Google Chrome for Android

Although the app lacks a native downloader manager like UC Browser, still the basic functionality like pause and play downloads are handled quite effectively.

Furthermore, it sorts all the downloads according to the file type. This definitely comes in handy when you have a lot of downloaded files on your device and wish to search it out according to the file type. All in all, definitely a good choice if you don’t wish to download any external browser onto your device and wish to carry on with the default one.

Microsoft Edge for Android

Well, if we were to compile this guide a year back, then probably Edge wouldn’t have made it to this list. But once it incorporated the Chromium source code, it has seen a much-needed change. Not only in terms of performance and UI, but its downloading capabilities have also been vastly improved.

Apart from that, it also allows for easy integration with Microsoft services and is based on Chromium source-code, you could import all the Chrome bookmarks, favorites, and settings over to this browser.

Mozilla Firefox for Android

Mozilla is always known to step up its game when it comes to a secure and private browsing experience. It blocks many of the trackers that look out for your browsing activity, cookies, and the sites you visit. Apart from that, it also handles your downloads pretty well too.

The usual services like background downloading of files, automatic pause, and resume of downloads in case of any network issues and changing the default location of the downloaded are also there. So if you are looking for a private, safe browsing experience that is very much capable of handling your downloads, Firefox is the browser to go for.

UC Browser for Android

When it comes to the fastest Android browsers for downloading files, none of them could compete with UC Browser. No matter whether you’re using Mobile Data or WIFI, it always manages to provide among the fastest downloading speed. And that’s not all. If there is a blip in the network connectivity, the download, rather than getting canceled, only gets paused, and will then automatically resume from that point itself.

The app also supports background downloading, so you could easily minimize the browser and continue with other tasks, while the file gets downloaded in the background. And even if you unintentionally close it, the download only gets paused and could then just easily be resumed with just a single tap.

On the flip side, the app tends to ask for way too much permission. Furthermore, your home screen will be flooded by suggested articles (which could be removed later on). Still, let us not deviate from its USP and that is providing the fastest download speeds among all its competitors, irrespective of file size or type.

Samsung Internet Browser for Android

The only browser from an OEM that has managed to make up to this list, Samsung Internet Browser has definitely managed to carve out a name for itself in this segment. If you are using a Samsung device, then you very well be aware of its downloading potential. For others, well the browser comes with a full-blown download manager to handle all the files quite efficiently.

Other features like pause and resume downloads, downloading directly to SD card, and the support for background downloads, you could find all these in this browser. As we said for Chrome, if you’re having a Samsung device then you could very well go ahead with this default browser if you generally download files of MBs and occasionally jump ships over to the GB domain.

The browser is more commonly famous for efficiently handling flash contents, similar to what many desktop browsers are capable of. But that’s not why it has managed to attain such a high rank our list.

Thanks to its advanced javascript rendering engine, the Puffin browser manages to download bulky files with minimum efforts. Apart from that, it also gives you the option to save these files to your device or over to your cloud accounts of Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Giving a tough competition to Firefox, DuckDuck go has managed to achieve quite a lot in such a short span of time. To begin with, the browser blocks most of the third-party website trackers, both the visible and the hidden ones as well.

Coming to the downloads section, I tried downloading two-three files of around 1GB, and to be honest, the browser did pretty decently in managing, sorting, and handling these downloads. Although it still has some way to go in terms of downloading capabilities as compared with UC Browser, it is still way ahead than the latter, in terms of respecting user privacy.
