I have version 2.3.3 of the stock android browser on my phone. I know there are newer versions out that support features that I want which are not available in 2.3.3. However, I do not see any upgrades available, and in fact the stock browser does not even show up in the Google Play store.

I figure I probably need to manually install from somewhere, but where do I find the necessary files and how do I perform the upgrade? Note: I am not interested in upgrading to a newer version of Android.

  • Firefox mobile supports Android 2.2 and above is you're stuck with an older version of Android and needs features that aren't available in older browsers. Commented Aug 27, 2014 at 13:04

Check this XDA post. It has an APK for a 4.2 AOSP browser.

NOTE: Install at your own risk.

  • Thanks! There aren't really any install instructions... in searching my system I see data/data/com.android.browser and /system/app/Browser.apk. I currently need the browser to replace what WebView is using, will it replace that too? Commented Sep 17, 2017 at 0:46
