847 Like Chromium Good alternative? YES NO Chromium is the open-source browser project from which Google Chrome takes its source. Free Open Source Mac Windows Linux Android BSD PC-BSD Xfce Optimize for fast boot Based on Blink engine Based on Chromium Add a feature Chromium is the core of the Chrome browser. It functions well enough as a browser but lacks some of Chrome's features (e.g. built in language translator). Even though Chromium is open source, it still "phones home" to Google, which has privacy implications. There are more private Chromium-based browsers, such as Brave and Iridium. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 12 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Chromium is most likely the heart of Google Chrome, Opera and some browsers without fancy features. SiliconeValley • Sep 2016 • 8 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Chromium is not a ready-for-the-consumer software. It is a open source project that needs to be implemented to make it work. jacksarrocco • Jul 2016 • 10 agrees and 29 disagrees Disagree Agree

It also works great with a lot of tabs(400 or more). Guest • Mar 2017 • 6 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree So far, Pale Moon gives me features I want that Firefox has disabled and will soon be gone completely in Firefox 57. Firefox 57 will be a Chrome-like boat anchor. Pale Moon is very stable, lightweight and is fast Guest • Apr 2017 • 6 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Much more stable than the actual firefox. 1 crash per day vs. 1 crash per two weeks on MacOSX Guest • Mar 2016 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Firefox is no longer just a good browser. Firefox is going to be a Google Chrome clone. It is dropping support for legacy add-ons. Firefox is dropping support for XP and Vista. Pale Moon has committed to retaining support for add-ons, menu's, security and still remains lightweight. Guest • Apr 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Pale Moon is very lightweight (low RAM usage), and maintains the look and feel of earlier versions of Firefox. Essentially, this is the Firefox Mozilla should have made. Guest • May 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree

It's an open-source privacy-oriented browser and very fast. But you rely on the developers to provide most of the privacy settings, and you can't install extensions. Firefox remains much more customizable via it's about:config menu options. JohnFastman • Mar 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It's really really nice and fast, but is still in very early development and lacking a lot of features Guest • Apr 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Censorship-plain and simple. Our household has used Mozilla since 2006 as the one and only go to browser, sadly today marks that end due to their involvement with internet censorship. Brave was started by one of Mozilla's original co-founders I went with them naturally. Guest • Sep 2017 Disagree Agree Read my review. Brave is Firefox baby with more privacy and clear interface Akino • Jun 2017 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree

It's still open source and fully compatible with all options, extensions and everything else. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Waterfox is made for x64 (amd64) CPUs, and it also delivers you a fine service concerning privacy, firstly devs removed telemetry and tracking implented recently in Firefox. Secondly it supports old extensions and pocket was removed Akino • Jun 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Great 64-bit alternative, it's lighting-fast & ditches the telemetry.

Guest • Dec 2016 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Excellent user support, less memory-intensive than either the official Firefox 64-bit or Waterfox (based on my system), and it works with Firefox Sync. Guest • Mar 2017 Disagree Agree Is "bigger" in capabilities than Firefox (which I've used near exclusively for 15 years or so) -- Have been using Cyberfox with mad love for near three years now, and just had my heart broken to hear they were shutting it down as of first half of 2018. :( Guest • Sep 2017 Disagree Agree
