The best browsers. Chosen by the community.
14 browsers, chosen by the community. Top of this view: Mozilla Firefox — #13 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
The browser is the program most things pass through — and one of the few where the choice genuinely matters, because it decides who gets to watch along. People searching here usually want to move away from whatever came pre-installed, or need an alternative on a particular device.

What counts: which engine is inside, and how quickly do security updates arrive? What is switched on out of the box — tracking protection, ad blocking, fingerprinting defences — and what do you have to go looking for? Can extensions be installed, and does that hold on a phone too? How are bookmarks, history and passwords synced across devices, encrypted or in the clear at the provider? Then the quiet question of how a free browser earns its money; for several of them the answer is the default search engine.
This list is compiled by hand; the stores have no browser category. The order comes from upvotes minus downvotes — on this young list, still only a few votes.
