Firefox Alternatives for Mac

It's great with a browser that is trying to solve the issue with ads on the web AND the issue that publishers needs money to build cool sites.

The best of the best : no ads, very fast, very safe and very free and work with chrome extension

Their privacy claims go as far as Facebook saying "we don't sell your data". You are tracked by cryptocurrency companies (Uphold & Brave rewards), they can ask for ID card as well. In the end this is just Chromium with a build-in ponzi scheme; slower and less private too.

It's not a Mozilla fork and there's ads... Oh the ads.

We don't sell your data... Easily.

it's faster, more secure, sync what you want through different platforms, safe.

fast, bulit-in support for tor peer to peer sync, etc.

Vivaldi is simply the next stop for Firefox users, while it is freeware, it is technically closed and open-source. Some of the browser's components are closed while some are open and the source codes are available on Vivaldi's website.

To me, Vivaldi is what Firefox used to be.

It's not a Mozilla fork and bloated with other stuff.

It Is Based ON the Browser Engine of Chrome. (Blink)

Vivaldi is a good browser (always in development) with a unique community. For what concern revenues there's a page for it: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-business-model/

Not a real alternative firefox is an opensource standalone browser. vivaldi is based on chromium and only provides a proprietary UI for the chromium core. You cant also disable telemetry in vivaldi due to their business model.

Vivaldi is very fast and has unusual features. Unfortunately, it's not open-source, so I can't recommend it over Firefox.

It's like the Chromium, but for Firefox.

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

Dated when compared to actual Firefox, some extensions doesn't work properly due to it being based on a old version of Firefox.

Up until late 2020 I was using Pale Moon as my Firefox alternative of choice, but the fact that none of the Firefox addons are compatible with PaleMoon any longer (even the LEGACY addons that USED to be compatible no longer are) I've since switched to Waterfox and haven't looked back at Pale Moon since. What's the point of being a FireFox fork if none of the extensions (including legacy) that used to be compatible no longer are?

clean striped open-source alternative if you seek a browser without any telemetry features

Please keep it updated quicker vs Firefox. That is my only complaint.

The 64 bit version of this browser is very lightweight. In fact, it can compare with 32 bit version of another browser.

Speed and low power usage

they are really different, FF is much better

Used to be a decent Browser until the Chinese took it over. Has a very suspect built in "VPN" Might as well just use Chrome.

If we wanted closed source, who knows where's your data now...

Firefox is focused on privacy and it is open-source. Opera is closed-source and it is owned by a chinese company.. Not so private...

The snappiest browser I've ever used. Amazing load and boot times compared to Firefox. it is also faster than Chrome and Vivaldi. I tried almost all the alternatives on this page. and Opera was the fastest.

Opera has so many new features in the new update 42 comes with the new sidebar,new animations and more features and it has a very nice design

Chromium is ahead of others at the moment.

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.

By default, it doesn't support DRM because the missing Widevine plugin/codec

Different from Firefox, it doesn't autoupdate on Windows. You need to basically download a new browser per wiki and install... On Linux, it's more easy to manage updates depending on the distros, on Arch Linux/Debian it's so easy, but hard on Ubuntu/Mint.

Chromium doesn't have DRM features and some codecs implemented like Google Chrome, it's open-source but all your data goes to Google when you use Chrome Store to download apps since there is no Chromium store. Also, this browser is hard to install on Windows, you have to compile or download versions that are created by the users daily, so it means you do not have a proper installer like on Linux/BSD.

Chromium is most likely the heart of Google Chrome, Opera and some browsers without fancy features.

Full Webbrowser, Source of Chrome, has html5 / css3 / js / addons / bookmarks / sync, etc. So, why not? It seems there was a Troll on this page...

It's just more widespread

It doesn't have the same level of privacy and personalization

Not one positive thing to say about know it all.

Chrome is just a big crap. Google's spyware. Avoid using it at all costs. Bloated, sending your data to Google, spying on you, slow, this is what you get when using Chrome.

It has a very bad performance compared to Firefox on Linux.

Google Chrome just wins performance

chrome is cool but is not best alternative for firefox

If you have issues with Firefox not being fast enough but don't wanna go Chrome try this! Also faster than Chrome.

offical edition of firefox

Based on Chromium and privacy friendly too, Firefox has no any advantages than Edge.

Less resource-intensive than Firefox. Generally fast and stable.

I likee SeaMonkey because is lightweight, have add-on support, support old versions of Windows, and as a old-school design that combines with the system i use. Perfect alternative, i recommend giving a try!

It's the Father of Firefox and has an EXCELLENT team to keep it up to date and with current Firefox code. I just love this browser. ;)

Lighweight and is without soros Support.

Lighter on resources, had UI we were used to in old Firefox(version 3.x), some features like webRTC might be missing.

Within Linux works much more fast and compatible with Firefox extensions

Despite Chromium being "open source", it still downloads Google-related crap and phones home to Google. If you value your online privacy, you'll appreciate the Ungoogled Chromium browser, which removes all that. However, Firefox remains more customizable in terms of privacy options.

Google services do not work properly on this browser, no DRM support of proprietary codecs available. Also, on Windows there is no .exe to click and install you need to compile and build it, it's not that simple and pretty limited in customization, even more than proper Google Chrome.

1. It doesn't update like Chromium 2. It's hard to install on Windows and Linux 3. There is no DRM support, so forget about watching Netflix on it 4. It's hard to install extensions, no access to Google Web Store. 5. No Widevine codec available and to install it is hard and need manual intervention that doesn't work always.
