What is best browser
Top 5 Best Web Browsers (2020)
when surfing the internet the web
browser you use can make a huge
difference for some people faster
performance might be the top priority
while others may prefer a browser with
better privacy tools or numerous
customization options no matter which
camp you fall into those are browser for
you in this top five instead of putting
these in order based on popularity I
will count them down based on which
browsers we've enjoyed using the most
with ease-of-use features included and
overall performance being the most
important factors let's dive right in
starting off our countdown at number
five is opera it's been around since
1995 and has always been on the cutting
edge of innovation some of its features
include built-in messengers an ad
blocker and a so-called free VPN for
those of you that have watched previous
videos on this channel regarding opera
then you already know that I do not
recommend using their VPN well it may be
unlimited
it's more of a proxy service than a real
VPN only the upper browser traffic is
encrypted and in my experience the
network speed is very slow if you don't
want operas your default browser be
careful when installing prior to
selecting install click on options on
the next screen and take the box make
opera the default browser after you've
done that click on install I can imagine
people by passing these steps because
it's not immediately obvious which is
one of the reasons opera is lower on
this list than in previous years on this
start page is the speed dial to access
your favorite websites in the left
sidebar you can easily access Facebook
Messenger
whatsapp along with other sidebar
options now let's move to the upper
right and select the easy setup icon
here you can change the themes your
choices are light or dark you can select
a new wallpaper for the speed dial and
if you scroll down you can quickly
access other settings including the
option to block ads and trackers opera
also has its own extensions to find them
click on the upper icon in the upper
left to bring up the menu go down to
extensions and select get extensions
here you'll have access to extensions
from the opera add-ons store a cool
extension for opera i'd recommend
installing it's called install Chrome
extensions when you add into opera
you'll have the ability to install
extensions from the Chrome Web Store in
Opera in the number 4 spot is the
open-source brave web browser which is
based on chromium it's great for those
of you that value privacy and security
as a top priority they don't store your
browsing data on the servers they block
ads and track
here's from third parties and encrypt
communications with most websites by
offering HTTPS encryption when possible
when you launch brave it'll show you the
history of how many ads and trackers
have been blocked secure encryption
upgrades and the time saved by blocking
ads and trackers on any website you can
click the brave shield here at the top
it will show you how many items have
been blocked on that side if you're on a
website that's not loading properly you
can toggle the shield off and can also
choose which features you'd like to
enable as a side note before we move on
they've also introduced a rewards
program called brave rewards where users
can earn tokens for viewing private ads
in turn after earning tokens users can
pass along those tokens to the
publishers they care about to support
their websites it's in the early stages
right now time will tell how well it
works out coming in at number 3 is the
world's most popular browser Google
crowd let's get the cons out of the way
first it's known for being a resource
hog that doesn't play nicely on systems
with limited RAM and some people don't
appreciate how Google uses their
browsing data now for the positive
chrome offers a user-friendly layout
with excellent cross-platform support
and if you like add-ons chrome still
boasts the largest selection of
extensions of any web browser before we
get to the top two here are some
honorable mentions worth checking out
Safari is a competent no-frills browser
with iCloud support for Apple platforms
only newer releases are no longer
supported for Windows the tor browser is
a modified version of Firefox that
routes traffic through the Tor network
it's available for Windows Mac and Linux
opera DX is a new browser specifically
made for gamers from the folks over at
opera it's still in early access and
available for Windows with support for
Mac OS coming soon and the newly
revamped Microsoft edge based on
chromium is in early development if you
want to try it out it's available for
Windows and Mac
in the runner-up spot coming in at
number 2 is Firefox from Mozilla it
takes a slight lead over chrome because
it's open-source offers better privacy
while offering most of the same features
some of those features include
cross-platform support password free
logins and blocks crypto mining on the
sites you visit a feature I use most
often with Firefox is their excellent
screenshot tool to take a screenshot
here at the top select the horizontal 3
dot I con then click on take a
screenshot you have the option in the
upper right hand corner to save the
entire web page or the part that's
visible on your screen if you want to
select a region just left-click and drag
your mouse then let go you'll be given
the choice to copy that region or
download it to your computer coming in
at number 1 the absolute best web
browser for Windows Mac and Linux is
Vivaldi like I said in the intro this
list is not based on popularity it's
based on which browser we most enjoy
using it takes the top spot due to its
perfect balance of both mainstream and
unique features and numerous
customization options it has so many
features it would take too much time to
name them all it also respects your
privacy and security Vivaldi does not
track you and does not share or sell
your information to any third-party one
of the cofounders of opera which I
mentioned earlier in this video also
co-founded Vivaldi he left opera prior
to its sale to a group of Chinese
investors deep Ivaldi browser had its
initial release in April of 2016 when
you launch the baldie
you'll see the familiar speed dial you
can find your bookmarks and downloads in
the web panel on the left there's also a
tab for taking notes and you can quickly
access your favorite websites from here
to add a website click the plus sign
enter the name of the site and hit enter
on your keyboard or click the plus
let's close this out since above Aldi is
built on chromium extensions can be
added by going to the Vivaldi icon in
the upper left go down to tools and
select extensions click the menu icon in
the upper left and at the bottom of the
pane select open Chrome Web Store
there's also a decent screenshot tool
included while not being as good as the
one with Firefox it's doable click the
capture page icon at the bottom you can
choose to capture a full page or select
a region and you can choose to save as a
PNG jpg or copy it to your clipboard I
think you all can figure this one out
from here
so let's exit that a quick way to access
the settings is to go to the Settings
icon near the bottom of the left pane
going to themes there are several to
choose from I'll go with dark below that
you can schedule the times for the
themes and scrolling down you can enable
razer chroma and philips you theme
integration on the start page and change
the background color and background
image these are just a few of the
changes you can make in Vivaldi I'll
leave the rest for you to discover on
your own Vivaldi has finally released an
app on Google Play for Android and it's
now my default mobile browser even
though it's still in beta I haven't had
any issues an app for iOS is not
available yet but it's currently in
development thanks for watching
