Chrome is an invasive corporate tracking device designed to spy on you and bombard you with ads.

Firefox, hands down, based supposedly on better privacy through a non profit tool.

I has spoke.

Add Ghostery to it and ads will be the least of your problems...
It's really good so far... I feel like its made more for Windows 10 but it looks great on Windows 7 and extremely customizable.

All the browsers are going with the "modern" look, which Windows 10 is definitely doing. Another browser based on bit torrent is available but it's still in beta.

Definitely runs faster than Firefox for me... but how does it do with privacy? Also, how do you get extensions on it? I looked at the tutorial but it showed it on Mac.

Click on the V icon in the upper left, select Tools from the menu, then Extensions. It will open a page saying you have no extensions and have link to the Chrome extension page.

Thanks so much! I'm loving this browser... might make it my new one. Do updates push automatically OR do you have to manually download the updates?

Automatic since Version 1.4, but you can put them off until you want to install them (Windows) or through software updates (Linux).

Vivaldi is nice and I'm really liking it. Built by the original authors of Opera and uses Chrome extensions. I think they might have a mobile version too...

FWIW, Opera was rated best recently. Used it for a while a long time back and it was going through so many changes I quit using it.
there is a "VC Browser" when I search Vivaldi in the Google Play store. Is that it?

Can you make it so that it stays on one-color even when you switch tabs? I mean I don't mind it but it can get annoying.

Mobile? Don't think so. Just checked their site and the mobile is still under development at this time.
Damn

there is a Ghostery mobile browser but it kept giving me troubles so I uninstalled it. I would love it if that one ran cleanly.
