[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 924485, member: 78686"] Currently, my take is, I need a browser which is, 1. Secure enough 2. Syncing my data to their cloud so that even if my lose my device (which has happened in August) I don't lose my browser data and an option to send links anytime from my Windows PC to Android and vice-versa. 3. An android browser where I can get rid of those annoying cookie notices. 4. Accurate image and video rendering on my system with hardware acceleration enabled.
