Google Chrome still operates the same way, using a multi-process approach and received a facelift with new Material Theme elements some time back. It places a ton of focus on security and highlights non-secure websites, includes a native ad-blocker for giving you respite from annoying or intrusive ads – not all of them, and has site isolation in place as well to load each website as a separate process for better security. It will see that a website is not able to steal data from another website. The highlight here, however, has to be the Google ecosystem – all of the apps that keep you tied down and offer a smoother experience. This is coupled with a wide collection of apps and extensions that further elevate its functionality. This is topped off by Chrome’s pretty solid set of developer tools and inspection console that gives you a detailed look at any page. Microsoft recently turned its Edge browser to the open-source Chromium engine to win back some market share from the likes of Chrome and Firefox and well, this new browser from Microsoft has been fairly successful. The new Microsoft Edge browser brings plenty of interesting features and combines them with great performance. Talking about the features first, there are a lot of them but the ones that stand out have to be the “Read Aloud” feature, which reads articles for you, the “Reading Mode”, “Collections” to save any webpages that you want, and the “Apps” feature to turn any webpage into a web app you can run separately. Also, since it’s Chromium based, you get Chromecast support and support for Chrome extensions.Īll of these features are great but I like the fact that Microsoft Edge is very privacy focused. You get the ability to block intrusive ads, set tracking prevention to “basic”, “balanced” and “strict”. Plus, in my usage, Microsoft Edge has offered great performance. The browser isn’t a resource or power hog like Chrome but even on a MacBook Pro, it performs almost flawlessly, which is a huge boost. Well, here’s yet another familiar name from the world of browsers, Mozilla Firefox.
