[QUOTE="kev216, post: 611294, member: 26237"] The best browser for you depends on what you need in a browser. Tons of features or a simple as possible, it depends on the user. I would say it like this: Best mainstream browser: Chrome. [LIST] [*]Pro: Largest userbase. It's fast, gets regular security updates and if you use google services, it's easy to use them when you log in into the browser. [*]Contra: Needs quite some ram and battery if you use a laptop + Google and privacy are two oppisites. [/LIST] Best out-of-the-box browser: Opera. [LIST] [*]Pro: The best of Chromium, yet simplistic and has some basic built-in addition like VPN, battery saving and Adblocker. Als good sync integration with their mobile browser. [*]Contra: Recently sold to Chinese consortium, so it's uncertain what the future will bring for Opera. [/LIST] Best browser for Open source freaks: Firefox [LIST] [*]Pro: Open Source, big changes with their electrolysis (multi-process), customisation [*]Contra: Recent decisions made by Mozilla are not so great. Features get removed and some addons will stop working in the next versions. [/LIST] Best Overall Chrome replacement: Slimjet [LIST] [*]Pro: No Google tracking. Adblocking and great downloading features, Social network integration [*]Contra: Less known, Slower updates [/LIST] Best Open source browser that is like in the good old Mozilla days: Palemoon, Waterfox and other gecko clones. [LIST] [*]Pro: Open Source and not affected by stupid Mozilla decisions [*]Contra: Mostly developed by a very small team, so changes and updates may require waiting a bit longer. [/LIST] Best Standard browser: Edge [LIST] [*]Pro: Integration with MS services, relatively new and still in active development. Doesn't need much resources. Good integration for tablets. [*]Contra: In my opinion months after the launch still hanging behind other browsers, especially in terms of extensions. [/LIST] Best Feature rich browser: Vivaldi [LIST] [*]Pro: They want to get as much as possible features without extensions right into the browser. New and fresh look. Frequent updates. Privacy friendly. Mail client and sync is coming soon. [*]Contra: Still a bit slow although being worked on. [/LIST] Best Privacy browser: Brave [LIST] [*]Pro: Made by previous Mozilla developers. Has a system to avoid ads but still give the sites revenue. Has much privacy options [*]Contra: Still in early development. Quite simplistic in terms of other features [/LIST] And there are still so much other Chromium and gecko clones that are maybe what you are looking for. For example: Yandex browser, Torch, Cyberfox.... [/QUOTE]
