Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skip Search at 5.0 against Grabba Browser's 3.0. Skip Search also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Grabba Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
