    It's nice with a system that can pay websites AND block ads.

    Paying the websites you visit is better than prostituting yourself to advertisement. Way better, in fact internet became very disrespectful before ad-blockers went viral.

    Spiritual successor to the original Opera. Super-customizable, respects your privacy better than most Chromium-based web browsers, and the one I've settled on as my main browser on macOS for now. Can optionally open into a full suite of web/mail/calendar/feeds, or just stay as a web browser.

    As easy to use as any of the other browsers plus useful sidebar and extensions and plug-ins but without an overwhelming number to choose from
