Depending on my mood, phase of the moon, or similar technical factors, I choose on a per case basis for Dolphin Zero, Dolphin, Ghostery, Firefox or Opera. For each of them I've turned off all permissions except Storage. -p

It's a pig with RAM but on the upside it has tab sync and also offers to "make page mobile friendly" which I find very useful. I also use Link Bubble which loads web pages in the background and when done one can just pop open the loaded web pages with no waiting. Convenient when opening a bunch of links from a news aggregate.

Also to keep the same browser on phone, tablet and laptops. If I happen to follow a link from e.g. the "genie" news and weather app, to a newspaper website, it's amazing how much more annoying the popups and banners are on a small screen.
