   Zen Browser vs Google Chrome Comments

   Positive comment by fabriziob · Sep 19, 2025

   The direction of the development, the current and planned features and the customization are amazing for such a young project and I am not missing anything (especially the Google tracking and the AI push) of Chrome.

   Positive comment by armchair · May 28, 2025

   Zen Browser is open source and privacy friendly. Not based on blink engine from Google but instead Gecko. What's not to like?

   Positive comment by Scepty · Sep 13, 2024

   Zen is a remarkably fast and customizable browser, and possibly the best I've ever used. Especially considering how new it is, the amount of features is astounding. Additonally, the themes can be anything from recolors to adding whole new features, and you can have multiple on at once. Pretty much the only thing it doesn't have is DRM content. Because of the $5000 price tag on DRM lisences, it's not (currently) financially advisable for Zen's developer to buy one. Hopefully someday!

   SeaMonkey vs Google Chrome Comments

   Positive comment by Oscar Sanderson · Jul 20, 2021

   Seamonkey is a internet suite which is like a swiss army knife giving you more control and it is open source and does not track you like Google do

   Positive comment by Guest · Dec 26, 2016

   More privacy, more user control of how the browser functions, More technical interface, includes a web authoring and editing tool, integrated with email, and doesn't report home to Google.

   Positive comment by Guest · Mar 2, 2018

   Open source that runs on all normal platforms. Features are what were in the original Netscape Navigator. Updated to today's HTML etc.

   QtWebEngine is chromium based. Finally a chromium-based open-source browser that seems trustworthy, comes without any google components and that is easy to install in Linux from official repos

    Iridium Browser vs Google Chrome Comments

    Positive comment by John Fastman · Dec 20, 2016

    Chrome fans will do well to realise that Chrome is proprietary and contains a lot of code designed to spy on what you do online, correlate this with the rest of your Google account data and use it to make money. Iridium, on the other hand, takes the Chromium codebase and specifically removes privacy-invading parts. Unlike Chrome, Iridium is open source, so you can check the code yourself, if you wish. Some functionality is reduced (e.g. Flash) but in that case try Vivaldi.

    Positive comment by Silbermann · Jul 2, 2019

    Coolest Chrome-based browser out there.
