    Mozilla has incredible features, the new 'Firefox Quantum' layout is easy to use and clean to look at. Very customisable, and good privacy control.

    Like Chrome it brings compromises in terms of platform specific user experience due to its cross platform nature. However I consider it the best alternative. Even though the developer tools did not scale well considering performance. They become unresponsive too fast with large documents and data loads.

    Paying the websites you visit is better than prostituting yourself to advertisement. Way better, in fact internet became very disrespectful before ad-blockers went viral.

    I mean, it's better than handing all your data to Microsoft with Edge, if only because Google's a bit less obtrusive about it

    Spiritual successor to the original Opera. Super-customizable, respects your privacy better than most Chromium-based web browsers, and the one I've settled on as my main browser on macOS for now. Can optionally open into a full suite of web/mail/calendar/feeds, or just stay as a web browser.

    If you want to avoid Apple's ecosystem and tracking on your Apple device, handing everything over to Microsoft - which is a lot pushier in my experience - instead seems like an odd choice.

    Very promising web browser, it's based on Safari AND it supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions.

    Orion is built on the same engine as Safari, but with more capabilities...and it can install most Chromium/Firefox extensions too. Closer to Arc or Zen in terms of how complex the interface is, a little more complex than Safari, but nowhere near Opera or Edge.
