Cool ranking, here’s mine (best to worst) based off of my years of trying different browsers. I’ve tried all of these browsers at least once on my current machine which runs Windows 11:

1. Firefox - The only browser that is to my knowledge entirely open source (while Chromium is open source, Google Chrome isn’t) and owned by a non-profit. It’s very versatile and has a lot of customisation without being overly complicated. Has been my default for years now. There are also great alternatives that use Firefox as a base like the Tor Browser and LibreWolf

2. Brave - I’ll be honest and say I still am not the biggest fan of Brave overall, the crypto features are annoying and I wish there were off by default tbh. However it performs well and isn’t that much of a hassle. Good choice if you need a Chromium browser without as much spying.

3. Vivaldi - If you want to tweak everything about your browser this is for you. Has some good privacy features. However performance is slightly worse than other Chrome clones and its a takes a bit to get your head around.

4. Opera & Opera GX - Used to use the normal browser back in the day, but moved away with all the annoying gimmicky features. GX’s UI is too much for me. Plus trust is hard when they call a proxy a “free VPN”.

5. Google Chrome - RAM hog, simple and gets the job done but at the expense of your data and privacy. Google having a monopoly on browsing when its a advertising giant is kinda scary.

6. Microsoft Edge - bloated and annoying.
