A Few Cents More (on Web Browsers)

Currently, my most used (desktop) web browsers are (in order):

Vivaldi

The browser that puts you in control | Vivaldi

Vivaldi is built on the same engine as Google Chrome, but with a design that provides a unique experience, along with a variety of tools for customization. I like to think of it as Chrome with most of the right extensions already built in.

Using Vivaldi, along with the Toby extension, has finally allowed me to get my tab-opening habit under control (for now at least).

Mozilla Firefox

The new, fast browser for Mac, PC and Linux | Firefox

The new Firefox is continually improving, and in some ways is clearly the most powerful browsers I’ve used. For me, the best feature is Multi-account Containers, which allow you to create multiple side-by-side sessions for different tasks, each with their own cookies, etc. For example, I have separate containers for work, for Facebook, and for banking (among others).

Microsoft Edge

I will admit that while I do actually like using Edge, the primary reason I use it is to earn Microsoft Rewards points, which I redeem for gift cards, XBox games, etc.

Google Chrome

For me — and for most of the technical people I know — Google Chrome has been my go-to browser for (what seems like) forever. It has become the standard against which all other browsers are now judged.

One thought on “A Few Cents More (on Web Browsers)

  1. You can add Brave (https://brave.com) to the list. Although I still do most of my browsing in Vivaldi, I now have Brave — based (like Vivaldi) on Chromium — as my system default. That way I don’t load up the entire Vivaldi ecosystem when I happen to click a link that launches the default browser.
    I also like Brave’s focus on privacy and security.
