4 Best Alternatives to Google Chrome Browser

In the previous article, we talked about reasons for you to dispense with the famous Google Chrome browser , and we promised that our next article will talk about the best alternatives available to Google Chrome, which may offer better performance than the famous Google browser.

The reasons we considered leaving Google Chrome revolved around performance and stability issues, or add-on security, not to mention the slow development of features, and finally issues with Google's tracking and privacy policy.

Here, we review with you alternatives to the Google Chrome browser that provide solutions to these problems.

Brave

Most Chrome-based browsers that focus on privacy are basically versions of Chrome with better settings, slower security updates, and sometimes some extensions that create more problems than they solve.

But if you want a browser that works like Chrome, includes compatibility with its extensions, and protects your privacy without having to change many settings, Brave is your best option. As an open source browser, you can be pretty sure that if it starts collecting your browsing data, someone will find out pretty quickly.

By default, Brave randomly arranges the information it sends to websites, making you appear as a different person on every website, every time you restart your browser. It hides your IP address from the websites you visit by directing your requests through multiple random nodes.

Brave has HTTPS Everywhere built in, which upgrades many older HTTP requests to the newer, secure protocol. By default, it also blocks all ads and trackers, which often improves page load times dramatically.

Opera GX

If your issue with Google Chrome isn't privacy related but the need to close it while playing, you might want to try Opera's gamer-oriented browser called Opera GX which is also based on Chromium.

With the GX, multitasking is what stands out the most, and the best example of this is the sidebar, where at the top you'll find the GX Control. Which includes Hot Tabs Killer, which lets you automatically see which tabs are consuming the most CPU and RAM resources and is much better than Chrome's task manager. GX Control also allows you to limit the use of the browser's network, CPU and RAM. There is also GX Cleaner that lets you easily see how much space your browser's temporary files are taking up, and remove some or all of them.

The sidebar also lets you create workspaces, which are essentially groups of different tabs within the same window, something that can only be achieved in Chrome with third-party extensions. It also has a music player that supports all popular streaming services, history settings buttons and plugins.

Some of the extensions in the Opera Store are specifically for the sidebar, including tab managers, calculators, and notes apps.

You'll find GX Corner, a great webpage with a game release calendar, free and low-cost game listings, a gaming news aggregator, and more.

GX makes the unnecessarily complex things in Chrome easy, which makes it one of the top five alternatives to Google Chrome browser.

Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge

Microsoft has replaced its old browser with the Chromium-based Edge browser, which is also a good option from a privacy perspective. If you haven't tried Edge yet because Internet Explorer is stuck in your mind, I'd urge you to think twice. The new Edge does not look like its predecessor, and provides a much faster browsing experience.

In fact, this browser comes with unique features that are not found in Chrome. You can even choose to draw, write, and mark parts of a web page without installing any plugins or plugins. It also lets you read PDFs and e-books and comes bundled with Cortana, the smart personal assistant.

For Windows 10 users, the system comes with the Edge browser. Edge has a clean, simple look and is easy to navigate. It is compatible with Windows Defender to help ensure that your computer is not infected, and web pages load quickly. Overall, it deserves to be one of the best alternatives to Google Chrome browser just for its simplicity and ease of use.

Vivaldi

If you are a heavy-duty user and find Chrome too restrictive, and privacy is not your priority, then Vivaldi might be the best browser for you. If you are going to love something about this browser, it will be your ability to customize it.

You can set the main menu to be a vertical dropdown menu or a horizontal bar. You can add actions, move items and categories from one place to another, and even remove them entirely. You can create or change keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures for any action, even action threads.

You can show your tabs at the top or bottom of the window, or on either side. You can stack tabs within tabs in one of three ways: by using dropdown menus, by using two tab bars, or by showing only all tabs.

Even browser themes are more customizable than others. When using a slow internet connection, you can disable images from appearing on entire websites. In the address field, you can block trackers or ads for each site. You can do this for all sites.

What makes Vivaldi a good browser for gamers, or for multitasking in general is the pause button in the status bar. With one click you can pause all media and site activities, saving system resources. Then with another click you can go back to where you left off.
