Top 50 Web Browser Alternatives

Welcome to the definitive source for comparing web browser alternatives. This research includes more than 1900 data points. The results include 49 web browsers with 25 features across all those web browsers. To be in this study, these web browsers must include a user interface that allows a person to browse general web pages on the internet.

We will not be including any command-line only programs, or any tools that are used to browse just a specific portion of the internet. We are also not including any browsers that can only browse Tor networks (free and open-source software that enables anonymous communication). If the tool does browse Tor (or similar encrypted networks) that is fine, but it must also have the ability to fetch and display HTML / CSS content from the public web.

Many people understand that a web browser is a tool used to access the internet but they don’t often put much thought into which one is best. For business and enterprises, it’s important to know how the browser will sync with other networks and interfaces, what security will be provided, and whether or not it will meet or exceed functionality needed to achieve company goals. Our aim in creating this list, chart, and comparative analysis is to equip you with the knowledge needed to make an informed, educated choice beyond the Chrome / Safari / Edge most users default to.

Our comprehensive publication includes: Google, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Internet Explorer, Edge, to name just a few. Every major and minor browser was included. If you see anything missing, feel free to contact us or leave a comment far, far below.
