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.

Vivaldi is = Chrome with optimized performance and many many many customization features. It works flawlessly and me after trying and working with all browsers, I'm more than confident to say that Vivaldi is THE Browser we all need.

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.

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.

Safari Shouldn't Be Ignored Anymore, With Many Good Features Such As Malicious URL Blocking, Safari Is The Best Browser For Apple Devices, Oh, Also Safari Turns Out Can Be Installed On Windows, Just An Old Version Of It

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.
