6 browsers to change the way you surf the Web
These alternatives to Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari transform your Web surfing experience.
Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari are the
most popular gateways to the Internet, but if you find these mainstream
browsers lacking, we have six feature-rich alternatives worth checking
out.
Chrome alternative
Opera (Windows, Mac)
Opera is best known for innovating browser features that become
essential, such as tabs and Speed Dial (a visual grid displaying
bookmarks and favorite sites). Since Opera adopted WebKit and began
taking code from the Chromium Project, it has become a great Google
Chrome alternative. Opera runs Chrome extensions alongside its own
add-ons, but what stands out most is Opera's touch-friendly interface --
now you can enjoy this familiar Chrome experience on touch-enabled PCs.
Firefox alternative
Pale Moon (Windows)
Created for Mozilla enthusiasts, Pale Moon boasts the classic Mozilla
browser interface -- pre-Australis update. But that doesn't mean that
this Firefox spin-off is behind the times. On the contrary, Pale Moon
drops support of older hardware in favor of reliability, adds support
for 64-bit systems, and enables more browsing customization. Pale Moon
also comes with default search engine DuckDuckGo and fully supports
Firefox add-ons.
Secure browsing
Comodo Dragon (Windows)
Designed for power surfers, Comodo Dragon is a Chromium-based browser
that provides an extra layer of defense as you traverse the murkier
digital frontiers. Dragon disables many of Chrome's standard features --
such as Google user tracking, bug tracking, and default Google search
settings -- in the name of security. Comodo also offers to route your
browsing through its own DNS servers upon installation, where it can
make additional checks of SSL certificates. For a Firefox version, check
out Ice Dragon.
Media-friendly browsing
Torch (Windows, Mac)
If you need a browser optimized for downloading, sharing, and playing
media, then look no further than Torch, a Chromium-based browser
designed to let you easily access your entertainment. Torch's media
grabber lets you save embedded music and video streams, while the
download manager -- which prioritizes speed -- delivers content faster.
Torch also features a built-in Torrent downloader that enables file
streaming during downloads. Rather than competing with Chrome, Torch
aims to deliver the best online entertainment experience, even if you
only use it for YouTube cat videos.
Privacy-minded browsing
Tor Browser (Windows, Mac)
To avoid browser trackers, try Tor. This little bundle allows you to
access The Onion Network for anonymous Web browsing without requiring
you to set up and configure the Tor client separately. Tor Browser is a
customized Firefox build that automatically encrypts your data via the
Tor client and wipes your cookies and history clean at the end of each
session. Tor Browser also comes with additional Firefox extensions like
NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere, which ensure safer, tracking-free Web
browsing. Best of all, you can install it on a thumb drive for private
browsing on the go.
