Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Narrow32 at none against Xplorer Web Browser's shown. Narrow32 also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Xplorer Web Browser's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
