ET Recommendations: App and game
Flynx offers a solution — it's a 'floating' browser that co-exists with the other default browser on your device.

Flynx Browser
App for Android;
Get it for: Free
A large number of links are shared on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp but the problem is that clicking a link opens the browser in full screen, taking you away from what you were doing. Then you have to wait for the page to load before you can read (especially tedious on 2G). Flynx offers a solution — it's a 'floating' browser that co-exists with the other default browser on your device.
Any link that you open with Flynx simply appears as a floating bubble. It loads the page while you can continue to do other things, including opening other links. The bubbles are similar to Facebook Messenger, and you can have four open tabs allowing you to instantly switch between them.
The bonus is the reading mode which can instantly get rid of web page distractions, on-the-fly font size adjustments and night mode reading (grey/black screen). Flynx also lets you easily share links from within the browser to other apps.

Stick Hero
Game for Android and iOS;
Get it for: Free
Stick Hero puts you in control of a small character and the primary objective is to make it run from one block to another. To do this, you tap and hold the screen in the space between blocks to create a stick long enough to cover the gap. If you time it right, the character will be able to run across the stick and safely cross over.

Sometimes, fruits need to be collected from the building gaps (needed to unlock additional characters). Your character can move either on top or under the stick (upside down) with a quick tap on the screen — since the fruits are sometimes placed under the stick as well. The game is ad supported — you'll see a full screen ad when you launch and a strip ad at the bottom on the main screen at all times.
