Google Chrome, Dolphin Browser, Firefox, Opera and UC Browser are the most downloaded VOiP apps for Android smartphhones and tablets, and as such were reviewed in this comparitive analysis.

Results of real world testing is presented in this app. The data consumption and speed of web page download for the browsers listed are summarised, including testing data compression features and previously cached websites. Web or internet browsers can use a significant amount of data to access the web. When using a wi-fi connection, the costs may be insignificant, but when using 3G, HSDPA or LTE, these costs can be meaningful. Web browsers use differing technologies to access web pages, and as such use different amounts of data to access the same pages. In addition, this and other factors affect the download or redering speed of content in a web browser - which is an important part of the user experience. Some browsers also have data compression features,in order to minimise data consumption and increase download speed. Browsers also cache data of previously visited pages, so as to use less data and increase browsing speed when revisiting the same pages.
