Brave

Top Pro

Very Fast and built in adblock.

The fastest browser out there. With the latest update Brave is my favorite browser on my PC and on my Phone. The built in adblock and the rewards system are amazing. See More

No extension support

Unlike Firefox & Kiwi, there's no way you can add extensions. See More

See All Specs

Top Pro

Safety and privacy well taken care of

Things like https everywhere and no tracking are standard with Brave. In most other browsers, things like these are optional at best. See More

Top Con

Same security-holes as Chrome

On the desktop: Brave uses the same browser engine as Chrome, meaning it has the same security-holes as Chrome. Chrome is a big target for hackers (being the most popular browser in the world), and a webpage that will hack Chrome may also hack Brave. However, Brave has security features that Chrome doesn't (such as a built-in adblocker). Those features will stop many hacking attempts. See More

Top Pro

Built-in adblock

Contains an optional "Allow Brave Acceptable Ads" so you can support the site you truly enjoy. See More

Top Con

New, and a bit buggy still

Developers are rapidly killing bugs, but it still sometimes suffers a glitch or two. Until the developers get caught up, it still feels like a brand new product. See More

Top Pro

Tor is available right in the browser

Top Pro

Planned optional feature for you to get reimbursed for viewing ads

Basic Attention Token; you will be able to opt into a new blockchain-based digital advertising system, giving publishers a better deal and users a share of the ad revenue for their attention. See More

Top Pro

Option to pay supported sites based on view time percentage

Set up automatic micro-donations. Brave will automatically divide a monthly donation among the top sites you visit. And/or, you can decide which sites get what percentage of your donation. It’s called pinning. See More

Top Pro

Option to disable additional privacy concerns

Like fingerprint tracking. See More

Top Pro

Free/libre software

Proprietary

While Opera is currently available gratis (without monetary charge), it is currently not libre (meaning that it does not allow users to view the source code used to create, to modify that code, or to redistribute modifications) and is therefor neither free nor open-source software. See More

Google Chrome

Top Pro

Simple user interface

For example, the address bar is also the search bar. Google calls it Omnibox. See More

Top Con

Online tracking by default

Chrome allows opting out of tracking by going to Settings > Advanced > Privacy and un-checking any unwanted services. Alternatively Chromium can be used to get a similar browser experience without Google's services on top of it. See More

TolerantSuurToll's Experience

I have tried a couple of browsers like Firefox, Edge, Opera, UC Browser and Yandex of all them I am satisfied with the Google Chrome. It seamlessly syncs with other Google services hence, I chose Chrome! For now, mobile extensions are not supported! See More

Top Pro

Syncs between devices

By logging into Chrome using a Google account it's possible to sync history, extensions, passwords, bookmarks and other settings between devices. This makes it great for anyone working with multiple devices as it allows experiencing consistent context when in the browser. See More

Top Con

No mobile extensions

Chrome on Android and iOS does not support extensions. See More

Top Pro

Good performance

According to TopTen Reviews, Chrome is currently one of the best performing browsers for initial (cold) startup, average startup, and navigation times. Works very well with the uBlock Origin adblocker. See More

Top Pro

Sandboxed Tabs

Every tab runs as their own process, so if one crashes or becomes unresponsive, the whole browser isn't affected. See More

Top Pro

Multiple account login

You can have multiple Chromes with different accounts logged at the same time. And it is really easy to manage different accounts. See More

Top Pro

Backed and supported by Google

Whilst Chrome is based on the open source browser Chromium, Google reviews this code and build on top of it. This means it takes (and contributes to) a number of the benefits of the open source model whilst having the resources, support and investment of a major company. See More
