Google Chrome Alternatives for Linux

Highly customizable, open and libre, care about privacy. Made on non-profit.

Firefox is definitely more secure. Tons of options and customization too. Definitely my #1 browser.

Open Source and privacy focused . . . nuff said.

For me, Firefox is miles ahead of Chrome, especially when comes to your privacy and security. I personally prefer the Firefox add-ons store over the Chrome Web Store, it has way more quality themes compared to Chrome Web Store as well. It is a fast and privacy-focused browser that offers a good balance between simplicity and functionality with good privacy and security out of the box. If I have to rate it, I will give it a 9.5/10

I like it. I just don't like doing "workarounds" like about:config and using User Agents just to make a site work (and most corporate sites I have encountered hate Firefox/not built for Firefox).

It's more privacy and secure and U can strengthen with customization the settings. Lots of very useful extensions and the feature is awesome.

I've been using it for over 5 years and never got disappointed: super customizable, actually cares about your privacy, and most importantly for me, this screenshot feature is marvelous!

It's faster and better in every possible way!

It's kinda like Chrome but WAY more private.

While it shares 99% of chrome code base, it as advertisements enabled by default

I use it every day and it is way better

It's more secure than Firefox, but I prefer to choose Firefox because Brave can't cloud sync with account

Way too advertised, basically another Chromium-like browser.

based on chromium and blink, so if you go from chrome to brave, you don't really give google less control over the we, but the build in tor feature is nice functionality, which I think Firefox should have too.

Chromium based, compatible with chrome extensions, huge customization possibilities, fast and visually appealing

Has many unique features that are truly useful for navigating the web quickly, protects your privacy, and is extremely fast!

A power-user ultra-customizable internet suite including web, mail and news, built on the same engine as Chrome. Like Opera used to be, but with modern tech and capabilities.

Feels slightly slower but i can't deny the great customization ability and efficiency. Chrome is nothing compared to this beast.

More private and customisable

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.

It's so much more intimate!

Great light browser which has great features VPN, adblocking, RSS Personal News..

It's light weight and can run smoothly on low end devices unlike chrome and mozilla.

Shady. Not more shady than Chrome, but likely as bad.

Tons of features and great UI, but was bought out by a Chinese company, so it might not respect your privacy as much as it seems.

Looks great, can easily handle hundreds of tabs open, has an ability to group tabs into manageable sessions, powerful sidebar where you can have your music and chat apps located. It's a really powerful and battle-tested browser.

GUI is different but have tons of feature, like Build-in VPN, Ad Blocker, PiP(Picture in picture) mode etc...

It's only partially open-sourced

It blocks prying eyes and is much more secure. IT is the most private browser currently...

It's Firefox + being completely anonymous! I think that says it all.

Way less secure than normal browsers when used regularly like when logging into accounts

You could use Tor-Browser every day. It is extremely hardened and you should think about running a relay, as you would otherwise suck a lot of resources of good People. It is hardened Firefox, you can add Addons (warning: they can deanonymize you!), Search engines, collect bookmarks, set the homepage, and a lot more.

Inherently slower than chrome, but by far the most private browsing experiance one can have. Used by lots of anti-censorship organisations and journalists, among others.

It's Give You True Anonymity On The Internet, Great Security, Built-In VPN, Clear Search History When You Exit TOR, You Should Give It A Try.

I like Tor Browser as an alternative to Google Chrome because it helps you protect your privacy and is open source and is backed by a non-profit

It's more lighter then chrome and have all functions of it

Without the google branding, it is the same efficient code.

Same engine, same experience, mostly the same features as Chrome, but without being tied directly into Google services.

Can't play video and login into a few services but otherwise fine

Chromium Is The Closest Alternative To Google, With Some Security Features Like No Search, It's Kinda Messed Up, But You Should Give It Try, Chromium Is Also Ranked To Be The Best Browser For Linux!

Origin of Google Chrome. It's open-source and completely safe.

number "ONE" reason, it is opensource.

Not resource hungry, great privacy features, etc...

it's pretty underrated for sure

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.

was good but they added so many features make it bloated. They should make a "lite" version and I would consider using it.

Forced by Microsoft, promoted with a ton of Ads.

Good software doesn´t need ads, and Edge is horrible for Privacy.

Far from the best in terms of privacy but still much better than chrome

It has almost every feature of Chrome and adds on it much more! It is designed for multiple types of user audiences. I can clearly say it best browser for who uses their browsers for Work/school, shopping, watch video streaming services, check the news and more!

64 bit for Windows 10 Pro. Fast, lots of extensions, tabs, themes, stable...

64-bit, open source, lightning fast & private.

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.

better than chrome, best firefox fork out there

not chromium based, so by using this instead of chrome you give google less control over the web.

Waterfox is a all in one thing.It can hadle chrome, microsoft edge as well as firefox extensions

Sorry For Waterfox Fans, I Will Not Say That Waterfox Is A Good Alternative, Waterfox Disables Many Firefox Secuirty Features, And This Could Be Dangerous.

It's the old Firefox!!! Loved it!

not privacyfriendly either

Nice neat and clean plus it integrates well with Gmail and other email services.

Insecure wi-fi protection.

Of all the browsers I use, Yandex is the most stable, fast and fluid, I have it as my default browser and I highly recommend it.
