hey everybody its joel from pocketnow.com and sure the browser that comes on your android is really neat but have you ever wanted to run Chrome on it or how about Firefox not fennec Firefox or Safari maybe even Internet Explorer today I've got a little something that'll actually do that or will it ok so what we've got here to the casual observer is an Android specifically a Nexus One running the Android 2.1 operating system but there's something unusual about it we've got the Chrome browser we've got the Mozilla Firefox browser Safari and even Internet Explorer but you and I both know I really don't have all those browsers installed on my Android phone instead what I have it is a neat little set of apps free apps you can get from the market called fake Firefox fake Safari and fake Internet Explorer and another one that's not by the same developer but basically the same thing a fake Chrome browser icon now what do these do you tap them and it opens up your default browser plain simple not a problem but it doesn't load the real app so you might be asking why would you download these apps they don't do anything well that's true they can fake out your friends or impress your friends you can really trick somebody into thinking that you have safe Safari on your Android phone but the thing that I like about it is it's just a little bit more like a desktop operating system it's what I'm familiar with or what I'm used to so like I mentioned before it'll open up your default web browser in this case it's the stock Android browser that you just saw or you can download an app called the fake browser settings which lets you select from your pre-installed browser so if you had dolphin or one of the other really nice alternate browsers on your phone they would also be in that list so whether or not you use it you can see I do right there on my home screen or not I'd like to know is this something that you'd put on your phone they're very small apps but I still take up space and if you would why are you trying to impress a friend are you trying to fool a friend or are you like me and you just want to be more familiar on your phone go ahead and comment down below and of course if you've got a video camera and want to post a video reply I love those so go ahead and do that let us know in the comments and if you thought this video was worthwhile go ahead and give it a thumbs up so showing off fake browser icons I'm Joe Levi for pocketnow.com
