Which Android Browser You are Using ? Chrome? or Opera? or Firefox? Is It Really Safe ?

Now a days internet is a part of our life, Browsers are a way to use internet,

This usage may be visiting website or downloading files or watching live videos

I have seen that my many friends using UC Browser in their mobiles, I asked them why they are using (Still Now) this browser.
They told me that when they had used old java mobiles, there is only one browser support that platform, later opera mini was also supported. That means UC is the only browser that support java at that time

So they are continuously using UC browser from java mobile to Latest Android smart phone.

Permissions of Browsers

Browsers have to want some permissions to access our mobile freely. For example

When the browser downloads a file, where it will save in our mobile? 

Usually Internal storage or SD card storage, am I right?

Then, When we are try to download a file from internet with a browser, It needs permission to access our Storage. 

But, Once assume me as a hacker, I want some data (Information ) from your mobile's storage.

What will I do ? (Comment your opinions or questions below)

I will create a app which  may be a browser then I will upload playstore or

any other store and in that app I might write a program to upload your files to my server when your are using that app. That's it.... 

When you are use my app, That app will upload your files to me.

Then, How Can we avoid it ?

Download browsers from only trusted source (Store), Then check the permissions of browser which you installed, 

Do you think a browser wants permission to access your Contacts and Call details ?

Trusted Browsers: 

Is Chrome a trusted app or Uc browser ? Which company providse chrome browser ? and which company provides Uc browser ?
