So you've managed to do something nobody else has been able to do, get Safari installed on Android?
Can't call it a mi7chy post unless there's some sort of dig at Apple.
Does the device need to be rooted to se it though? I saw one once but you had to side load it and then sign up to the service, I just want a simple one like Ad Blocker Plus.
Firefox and Opera offer this too.
Or are you constrained by wanting Chrome to be your desktop browser?
I use it across all my devices and at work as well. Then it syncs browsing history and preferences. Then some interests show up on Google searches too and Google Now cards. All of the Google services all sync and share data so it provides a good user experience for me.
I think on desktop is where I prefer using Chrome and Firefox. I tried using their mobile browsers and just don't use them like their desktop counterparts. With Safari, I use it on mobile but don't like on a desktop PC. With Internet Explorer, I just avoid it in both desktop and mobile which is why I use UC Browser on my Lumia.
I think Opera Mini is my longest used mobile browser. This goes back to early 2008 in my Nokia N82 and it moves fast when on 2G signal or the signal is weak. I don't prefer browsers that refresh the picture everytime I go back. Kills battery. I don't have to worry about going over my data limit with Opera Mini and good at downloading from adult sites for me. But it has its quirks like when I copy and paste from a website, the paragraphs are messed up on my Notes. So that is why I use CM Browser and UC Browser when I lose my patience with the speed and difficulty to post on forums. Also, Opera Mini kinda sucks on WP. So I use UC more on it.
I tried many other browsers including Atlus and Dolphin. Went back to Opera Mini for data and battery efficiency. Went back to CM for RAM efficency and speed. Blue moon occasion use UC on Android but mostly use it on WP.

It doesn't get any better than samsungs stock browser on their latest devices that have marshmallow.......
My Nexus 5X and 6P are optimized for Chrome. In fact thanks to the full compliment of superb Google Apps, both of them are fast, fun and very effective.
Unlike Safari on my iPhone 6S Plus which is often unstable or unresponsive, Chrome is fantastic.
Due to the wide array of plug-ins, extensions and the like, I've made Chrome my primary browser on my Macs as well.
