    This app does not have the look and feel of a modern web browser. Certainly not a serious replacement for Google Chrome. It is lacking in far too many features (shortcuts and more) to be a viable alternative. Useless toy? Or a bad practical joke? Try the Iridium browser and see if you understand what I mean!

    It's for mobile only, which means it's only a good replacement on mobile devices. Dolphin also tracks your data without telling you, but then so does Chrome, so :shrug:.

    The average person wouldn't be able to navigate this easily enough to gain the same functions as Chrome. It is for those acquainted with Vim.

    Chromium browser that can use plugins from the Google webstore but unlike Google Chrome it will also accept plugins not obtained through Google's webstore. Supports the cloud syncing of bookmarks. It also ships with a number of useful plugins such as a web video downloader.
