Chromium Chromium is the open-source browser project from which Google Chrome takes its source. 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 • 27 agrees and 9 disagrees Disagree Agree Chromium is most likely the heart of Google Chrome, Opera and some browsers without fancy features. SiliconeValley • Sep 2016 • 11 agrees and 3 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 • 17 agrees and 63 disagrees Disagree Agree Free Open Source Mac Windows Linux Android BSD ...

Guest • Dec 2016 • 48 agrees and 15 disagrees Disagree Agree Not open-source, which is the major reason for using Firefox. Guest • Jan 2018 • 22 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree The purpose of Mozilla is to offer a free, open source browser that protect privacy while Google chrome purpose is to exploit private data to promote Google Ads. Guest • Feb 2018 • 13 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Completely different way of addons, different way of process handling, independent from Goole, more intuitive to handle, perfect for power users, completely different way to secure addons (provides much less working surface for malware). Guest • Oct 2017 • 11 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Less customization with add-ons, closed-source code and Google privacy issues. Chrome is what Firefox is trying to be with FF 57 / WebExtensions, but it won't work, just like how corporate Democrats will never be able to win enough Republican voters over to replace their progressive base. Stop trying to be Chrome, Mozilla. Guest • Nov 2017 • 12 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Use less RAM than firefox 57, better at javascript with V8 Guest • Jan 2018 • 10 agrees and 15 disagrees Disagree Agree More reliable in the sense that there are more websites that work better in Chrome than those that work better in Firefox. 914ian914 • Feb 2018 • 4 agrees and 12 disagrees Disagree Agree It is fast, stable and more secure than Firefox.

Waterfox Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla platform. Made specifically for 64-bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed. 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 • 13 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It depends what you want from a Firefox alternative. Waterfox is essentially identical to Firefox, except that it's a 64-bit, not a 32-bit browser. It's still open source and fully compatible with all options, extensions and everything else. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 13 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Great 64-bit alternative, it's lighting-fast & ditches the telemetry. Guest • Aug 2017 • 7 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It is completely compatible with every feature present in Firefox, so you don't lose *anything* when migrating, and win privacy, speed and security. Guest • Oct 2017 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Uses almost all the original code of firefox but keeps the "undesired" NPAPI that firefox dropped, another words user retains ability to change the browser's UI & behaviour Guest • Nov 2017 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Waterfox is so far the closest to modern Firefox, but with better privacy, and a commitment to maintain XUL/XPCOM support indefinitely so that I can keep using a modern theme with square tabs, centred bookmarks and of course the add-on bar. bird • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree So far this is the BEST replacement I have found for FireFox 57 (which is just a Chrome clone at this point) Guest • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Open source fork of Firefox with a few privacy settings (not not all) changed by default.

Currently (March 2017), Brave is not a mature project. 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.
