Best new Browser App for Android!

Every now and then an App comes your way that completely makes you fall in love with the app itself and more importantly with Android. Just how powerful can an Operating System be, to allow your imagination run wild and create something that makes as much sense as it is spectacular. And then you are forced to think, why hasn't anyone thought of this before?


Well, friends, that's exactly what developer Chris Lacy has done and he has come up with an idea that's so smart and makes your browsing experience on Android a pleasure. It goes without saying that his app is something only Android OS can brace and allow us to enjoy.

As I said in my  article Top 5 browsers for Android in 2014, that a Browser is a very basic feature of an Android, a good browser means a good smartphone experience, well, that experience just got better folks!!!

Link Bubble is a brand new browser that in a way supplements the way you use the browser on your Smartphone. Think of it as an accessory to your browsing experience. Confused?? Don't be! Let me explain.
Suppose you are in an app, lets take Twitter, for example, and you are going through your feed as usual and you see a link of your interest which you want to open. Now, normally when you press the link it will take you to your default browser, then the web page will load. Butwith Link bubble, your link will open in the background and you will see a circular icon on your screen, showing you that your link is loading. When the web page is fully loaded, it will open an overlaying window, your webpage, fully loaded. You can then simply minimize it to read it later or share it to Pocket or any other app of your choice. You can also remove it completely by dragging it to the bottom of the screen.

Another cool feature of Link bubble is that, it open links in the apps to which they are redirected, for example, if you open a link to Play Store, Link bubble will open up the Play Store app on your smartphone. Your usual browser will show the option to continue in the browser or open up the related app, thus adding an extra step.



It benefits us in two ways:

 First, you can open a link in the background and go on using your current app without any hassle. Otherwise, your browser will open up and you have to wait for it to load and then go back to the original app which you were using before and that's really frustrating sometimes.

Secondly, it saves you time, you can open up several links in the background and get to them later. However the ability to open several inks is bound to the pro version of the app and you have to pay up 5 US Dollars to use additional features. I would say its completely worth it if you are in a habit of opening several links as you browse through Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or any other app.

Remember one thing, it doesn't replace the usual browser on your Android phone as it is not built for usual browsing experience. Use it as an accessory to the main browser when you want to open links without distraction or links which redirects to other apps.

I'd say, give it a go folks and share your experience in the comments section. Enjoy the power of Android, you have one of the most powerful operating system sitting in your palms!!
