    Firefox is no better than Chrome now that Mozilla has abandoned net neutrality & privacy in favour of woke bux.

    Good alternative to Microsoft Edge when you need to sync across multiple OS. Otherwise, Edge is the same and avoids you to have a trojan more on your PC

    The speed dial is essential to me. And it respect my privacy. A true BROWSER, who care about your experience of browsing. Although the startup speed is a bit slow, still somethings to improve. Overall, Vivaldi is the best.

    Edge is much better than IE, and it's nice to see Microsoft getting with the times, however, it seems a bit late in the game.
