    Vivaldi is a lot more customisable than Chrome, Vivaldi has a lot more features than Chrome, Vivaldi is more privacy focused and it's based on the Blink engine (also known as Chromium) so switching to Vivaldi is very easy + it supports Chrome extensions.

    Comments about Waterfox as an Alternative to Google Chrome
    Comment summary: Waterfox is praised for being a strong Firefox fork with powerful features like 64-bit support and compatibility with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions. Users appreciate its open-source nature and lack of telemetry data collection, offering more privacy than Chrome. However, some note it disables some Firefox security features and looks dated with compatibility issues with some extensions. Waterfox is seen as a lightweight, customizable, and private browser, though it doesn't compete with Chrome's speed.

    If you haven't left Google Chrome because you think other browsers can't compete with its speed (which, in my experience, hasn't been completely true), try Waterfox out. It comes with the added bonus of being far more privacy-oriented than either Chrome or Firefox.

    Compared to Firefox (from where it was forked on), Waterfox looks pretty dated and some extensions refuses to be installed due to this -- depending on what extension you want, you may have troubles.

    Comments about Microsoft Edge as an Alternative to Google Chrome
    Comment summary: Microsoft Edge receives praise for its lower resource usage compared to Google Chrome, with many users finding it faster and valuing its privacy focus. It supports Chrome extensions due to its Chromium base, appealing to users switching from Chrome. Enhanced features and native Windows integration attract positive feedback, though some criticize Edge's bloat and privacy issues. Others prefer open-source options due to its proprietary nature.

    I've switched over from Chrome completely. I find that the Chromium based edge is much better than Chrome. Less resource usage on my machine.

    If you want to use a browser's Incognito mode (called Private Browsing in Firefox and Safari), you don't want where you go to be recorded in files stored on your computer. Microsoft Edge DOES store info about where you've been, even if you've been there using its InPrivate mode. (http://betanews.com/2016/01/30/stop-using-microsoft-edges-inprivate-mode-if-you-value-your-privacy/). Switch to an open source browser. There are plenty of good ones.

    The mouse gestures are now included and very convenient.

    However, news that I had hidden on the top page are displayed without my knowledge. If the ads displayed there were not the worst, I would use Edge.

    Great design, minimalistic looks. If you are in the Apple ecosystem is great. The downside is that it has no extension for example LastPass for password manager and DF Tube for YouTube, if you can live without extensions... its a great browser.

    It's like Firefox, but even less Googley. The vertical tabs... kind of growing on me. I love the anchored vs temporary tabs.
