top five web browsers for your computer this year there are quite a few changes in
instead of being based on popularity we’ll count these Down based on numerous factors including performance the number of useful features privacy and security and cross-platform support all are free and available on Windows Mac OS and Linux let’s get started..
first of google chrome browser
five is Google Chrome, Even though it’s the world’s most used secure browser, but it’s been slow to innovate, getting passed by its competitors who offer more useful features built into other browsers, Chrome has had the reputation of being a resource hog to Google’s credit over the past year,
they have made improvements to performance, but I still would not recommend using it on Lower End Hardware it has excellent cross-platform support, allowing you to sync bookmarks passwords, and other stuff across multiple devices, including their mobile apps, for both IOS and Android in another attempt to say something else nice about Chrome,
it is visually appealing with routed corners and because it does lack many useful features found on other browsers there is less clutter to enhance your browsing experience Chrome does have a large number of extensions that can also be used on other chromium-based browsers I’ll be showing you later on this past year Google,
stirred up some controversy when they announced their plan to limit ad blocking extensions upsetting many of its users as of right now that plan has been delayed with no launch date to initiate the plan just like other Google services Chrome is not great for privacy but how they collect your data using it more so than most browsers you are not the customer you are the product..
second of browser vivaldi
The Vivaldi is one of my personal favorites at number 4 for those of you focused on productivity, with unique features that you’ll notice dropped from last year low on our list,
I’ll tell you why later, but first let’s look at the positives: Vivaldi can be customized the way you want and it’s built on Chromium,
Chrome extensions support a tracker and ad blocker built in, tools to organize your tabs, and a lot outside of the beta when you launched Vivaldi with their own built-in email client calendar and news feed reader.
On the left side of the window sidebar is a speed dial with your favorite websites,
Split the window while you work on other things in addition to the taskbar in the main window
At the bottom right is a screenshot tool,
It allows you to capture your screen or an entire web page
Unlike the others in our top five, which are available for all major operating systems, Vivaldi isn’t available yet.
for iOS and that’s one reason why we had to drop it lower on our list another
reason is users with low system specs report that Vivaldi runs slow on their computers other than that it’s an excellent browser developed by fantastic people..
three of best brave web browse
coming at number three is the brave web browser it’s open source and built using chromium giving you the ability to add extensions from the Chrome web store it’s great for those of you concerned,
about privacy and security with a high emphasis on performance by default, it blocks third-party trackers and ads on all websites allowing web pages to load faster it blocks those creepy cross-site cookies that follow you from site to site and it also protects you,
from phishing attacks, and fingerprinting which is a type of online tracking that’s more invasive than cookie-based tracking when you open Brave you’ll notice it has a nice looking interface in the upper, left of the dashboard it’ll show you the,
number of trackers and ads blocked along with the bandwidth and time saved below that you can add your favorite sites for easy access when you’re on a web page to see how many trackers and ads are being blocked on that page click on the shield icon,
to the right of the address bar this site is not too bad it shows there are only two that need to be blocked if you’re on a website you support and would like ads to appear toggle the slider off to enable ads
Brave has excellent cross-platform support it’s available for Windows Mac OS and Linux and also has apps available..

more than 7 000 relays it’s available for Windows Mac OS Linux and Android the countdown in the runner-up spot coming in at number two is Microsoft Edge after several years of failing with their base source code Microsoft gave up and Edge is now chromium based shockingly.
they’ve managed to build a browser that’s a lot better than Google’s Chrome it’s feature packed if you’re in the cloud gaming it’s been optimized to save on memory with support for popular, the extensions from their own store along with those on the Chrome web store.
other features include a startup boost that makes Edge load faster when it starts up for those of you that keep multiple tabs open sleeping tabs puts those tabs you’re not using to sleep,

Linux is in the top spot coming in as the number one in firefox from the folks at the non-profit Mozilla Foundation this open-source browser was first released in 2002 long before any of the others in our top five even existed it has the distinction.
