This dominance sometimes results in certain benefits and conveniences for the end user – in recent years we've started to see "works best in Chrome" messages appearing around the web, even on large sites, and sometimes you'll encounter things that require Chrome to work. Google Chrome (opens in new tab) is the world's most widely used browser with up to two thirds of the market share according to most estimates Safari is around 10-15 per cent and the rest are all in the single figures. Google ChromeĬhrome is the most popular browser, but is it the best? (Image credit: google) With this background information in mind, let's take a look at each browser in more detail. Vivaldi is made by a company founded by the co-founder and former CEO of Opera Software. Opera was bought out by a Chinese consortium in 2016, and became a public company in 2018.
Brave is made by a very "values-driven" company co-founded by one of the co-founders of Mozilla. This may be a consideration when choosing a browser.
Typically, Chrome extensions (opens in new tab) work across all Chromium-based browsers, meaning they can all benefit from that massive ecosystem.Īnother difference between Firefox and the rest is that it is made by a non-profit organisation, Mozilla. They allow users to extend and create a browser that fits specific needs. When considering which web browser to use its extension library can be a key player in the decision-making process.
Firefox is different: it has its own browser engine (and also a huge extension ecosystem). Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge – and of course Chrome – are all based on Chromium. The majority of modern web browsers are based on Chromium, which is an open source project by Google – most of the source code of Google Chrome is from Chromium – and anyone can make their own version of a Chromium browser.
