- Mozilla aren't perfect, but Firefox is, overall, still the best browser out there. Just some of the reasons: it's open source (trustworthy), doesn't spy on you like Chrome, has encrypted bookmarks/tabs/settings sync, lots of extensions and a huge array of options under the about:config menu. JohnFastman • Apr 2018 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Because it's a heavy-weight browser just like Chromium. Guest • Jul 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees

- Brave is an open source, privacy-oriented browser made by taking Chromium and removing all the bullsh*t that phones home to Google. It also has a built-in ad blocker and some other privacy-protecting features. Excellent, but you should still tweak the settings a little before you're fully protected.

Ungoogled Chromium

A Google Chromium variant for removing Google integration and enhancing privacy, control, and transparency A number of features or background services communicate with Google servers despite the absence of an associated Google account or compiled-in Google API keys. Furthermore, the normal build process for Chromium involves running Google's own high-level commands that invoke many scripts and utilities, some of which download and use pre-built binaries provided by Google.
- An excellent choice. This is Chromium but with all the spyware bits removed that phone home to Google. Alternatives at this level include Iridium and Brave. Otherwise, I recommend Firefox as the best all-round browser. All three are open source and Firefox is particularly configurable. JohnFastman • Apr 2018 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees

Iridium Browser

Iridium Browser is based on the Chromium code base. All modifications enhance the privacy of the user and make sure that the latest and best secure technologies are used. There are many browsers out there. To our belief, Chrome is fast, stable, and user-friendly, but does not meet many organizations’ demands for security. Since the tight integration with its inventor (Google) makes many things easier, it does not comply to restrictive data environments.
- Iridium is a project that takes the Chromium code and removes from it all the bullsh*t that still phones home to Google. The result is a light, open-source, Chrome-compatible browser that doesn't attack your privacy. Nice. JohnFastman • Jan 2017 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees

SRWare Iron

SRWare Iron, or simply Iron, is a fork of the free and open-source web browser Chromium , of which Google Chrome is a fork of. Iron primarily aims to eliminate usage tracking and other privacy violating functionality that Chrome includes. SRware bundles a simplistic hosts-based BLOCKer. You can also install Chrome extensions and themes on Iron.
- SRWare Iron is closed source, offers nothing above tweaking Chrome settings and has [other question marks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRWare_Iron#Criticism) hanging over it. If you want a de-Googled Chrome, see Iridium or Brave; they are open source and therefore more trustworthy. JohnFastman • Apr 2018
