Guest • Dec 2016 • 40 agrees and 14 disagrees Disagree Agree Not open-source, which is the major reason for using Firefox. Guest • Jan 2018 • 16 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 • 10 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 • 10 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 • 11 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Use less RAM than firefox 57, better at javascript with V8 Guest • Jan 2018 • 9 agrees and 12 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 9 disagrees Disagree Agree It is fast, stable and more secure than Firefox. It manages the resources better than Firefox. sidboy • Nov 2016 • 16 agrees and 75 disagrees Disagree Agree
Chromium Chromium is the open-source browser project from which Google Chrome takes its source. Free Open Source Mac OS X Windows Linux Android BSD ... PC-BSD Xfce Optimized for fast boot Based on Blink engine Google Chrome extension Chrome-like ... Based on Chromium Portable Add a feature 896 Like 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 • 26 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree Agree Chromium is most likely the heart of Google Chrome, Opera and some browsers without fancy features. SiliconeValley • Sep 2016 • 10 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 • 16 agrees and 53 disagrees Disagree Agree

Chrome extensions work flawlessly. Excellent browser. Guest • Jan 2017 • 11 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Vivaldi is amazing, it just features everything I like in Firefox, with the speed of the webkit engine ! It accepts chrome extensions. The synchronization support should be added soon. It is better than Chrome for sure. If it was open-source, it would be better than Firefox as well. loxaxs • Apr 2017 • 5 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Does not adapt aromatically to the high contrast environment (windows - ease of access) thus is impossible for people with vision problems to work with the browser unless someone customize Vivaldi for them. Guest • Aug 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Fast, efficient, and has useful features for productivity. CBagley • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Fast. Great tab management. Very customizable. Faster than Firefox. Great history management. Users should give a try. Guest • 12 days ago Disagree Agree Dangerous web browser that allows governments to get all your private info and hands it over to them at all times for any reason, no matter how pointless the reason is. Guest • Apr 2018 • 4 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Vivaldi is clearly inferior to Firefox. Comes nowhere near the same quality Guest • Oct 2017 • 6 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree Agree Fast, customizable, lightweight and is not made by a company that sell ads and spy your online behavior like Google. Guest • Apr 2017 • 1 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Best open source browser that uses the Blink rendering engine possum • Feb 2018 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Vivaldi cares about users privacy and user experience while on the web.

Support for Firefox extensions Legacy addons support Optimized Firefox Optimized for Windows Portable Specific for 64-Bit Add a feature 182 Like 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 • 11 agrees and 3 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 • 10 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Great 64-bit alternative, it's lighting-fast & ditches the telemetry. Guest • Aug 2017 • 6 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.

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 • 12 agrees and 2 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 • 7 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Built-in ad-blocker, free and open-source.
