How can I tell if my android phone is using google chrome?

Your android phone comes with a default browser that isn't Chrome.  You can download Chrome from Google Play.  It's ok, but I prefer Dolphin browser on my Android phone.  Download both and see which one you get on best with.  I think both are an improvement on the stock browser.


Chrome:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en
Dolphin:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser&hl=en

If you log in, you can then install apps from the Play Store via your laptop browser.


I hate google chrome simply because other applications surreptitiously download it to my laptop unless I physically 'opt out'.

If they force me to have it, I don't want it.


The default browser seems fine to me. How do I find out what it is?

My android phone had both installed to start with - it's a tricky balance. They both have their advantages and disadvantages I've been using my phone for quite a while  now and I'm still swapping between the two.

It's just called 'Browser' and it's the stock browser for Android - doesn't have a name as such.

Worth trying Dolphin though imo.

If you go on, http://www.viewmyuseragent.com/  it gives you your browser info.

It's basically the programme websites use to see what device you are using.

Talking of browsers (this time for PCs):

Not conclusive, but interesting.

Jack just showed me that link too.  I'm not worried enough to leave Chrome just yet.  This time Firefox wins, next time Chrome will be back in front...and round and round we go.

Something made me laugh today. I was going to post it in Tikay's diary but the lack of confidence and self-doubt in that thread makes me feel uneasy. I think this is slowly becoming the superior diary actually.

I was talking to my mother-in-law on the phone today who is a very serious woman. She sounded annoyed and perplexed at what had just happened. But tbf she sounds annoyed and perplexed about most things.

She's currently staying in a hotel in Great Yarmouth and being a smoker thought she'd nip out the front for a quick ciggie. She's standing in front of the hotel and notices a coach which says "Sunshine Tours...For People In The Winter Of Their Lives" and on-board are loads of very old white-haired folk dressed top to toe in beige. Anyway, she's about to light up when the driver shouts out the window "Sorry love you ain't got time for that". Few minutes later the rep jumps off to hurry her onto the coach complaining everyone's waiting for her. ROFL she was devastated, made my day tho.

I stopped reading after the daft bit.

Washers, cooker knobs, end caps, it's all here.
