On your marks, get set... GO Launch Dev Team releases Android Next browser
The Android web browser market is a packed one, and users are almost spoiled for choice. If you're a fan of Firefox, Chrome or Opera on your main computer, there's an accompanying mobile version for you to work with, and there are plenty of others as well.
The GO Launcher Dev Team is best known -- it should go without saying -- for the Android launcher GO Launcher EX, but it has now branched out and is bringing its stylish looks to a web browser -- Next Browser.
Like many of the other apps from the same team, Next Browser has a clean, Holo look but it is the features that are going to make or break it. The app borrows ideas from many of its existing competitors, including tabbed browsing, a speed dial screen, a combined search and URL bar, and bookmark syncing.
Support for plugins means that the browser's feature set can be further extended and this is something that is sure to make Next Browser extremely popular, especially as more and more add-ons are released.
Voice searching is available, but this is not the only means of interacting with the browser. There is good use of gesture support in the app. Swipe down to close a tab, swipe left to access extensions, and swipe right to access Next View. This handy page provides a quick overview of headlines and stories from various websites.
Could this be the browser to rule them all? Maybe not, but it's a decent alternative to the big names and shows great signs of promise.
Next Browser is available free of charge from Google Play.
