# Best Browsers - Page 2 *By [Neeraja Prakash](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/neeraja-prakash)* A browser, also known as a web browser or internet browser, is an application program designed to give users access to information available on the world wide web (WWW). The browsers also support external plugins that people use to interact with active content, including images, audio, video, and Adobe Flash content. The [best browsers](https://learn.g2.com/best-browser) come with a search engine, address bar, privacy, and bookmark management functionality for a smooth [user experience](https://www.g2.com/glossary/user-experience). Individuals and business users rely on web browsers to find answers to queries, stream videos, and shop online. Web developers and software programmers turn to these tools for web application testing and debugging. Web browsers are also known as client programs because they use [hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)](https://www.g2.com/glossary/http-definition) to request and translate data from web servers into human-readable content on behalf of users. Browser systems can show content that was created using hypertext markup language (HTML), extensive markup language (XML), and other protocols and prefixes, such as file transfer protocol (FTP), email hanging (mailto:), [secure HTTP (HTTPS)](https://www.g2.com/glossary/https-definition), and files (file:). Browser applications follow a client/server model. Acting as a client, the browser asks the web server for information. Then, the web server processes the browser’s request before sharing the requested information. This structured approach of the client-server model ensures easy task distribution and resource management between a browser and a server. To qualify for inclusion in the Browser category, a product must: - Be downloadable - Translate HTML into readable content - Support external plugins to display active content ## Top Browsers at a Glance | # | Product | Rating | Best For | What Users Say | |---|---------|--------|----------|----------------| | 1 | [Chrome Enterprise](https://www.g2.com/products/chrome-enterprise/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (1,767 reviews) | Centralized browser policy enforcement across endpoints | "[Ask Gemini Integration Makes Content Search Fast and Effortless](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/chrome-enterprise-review-12997605)" | | 2 | [Microsoft Edge](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-edge/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (377 reviews) | Microsoft-365-native multi-tab productivity browsing | "[Seamless Microsoft Integration and a Simple, Easy-to-Navigate UI](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/microsoft-edge-review-13066655)" | | 3 | [Apple Safari](https://www.g2.com/products/apple-safari/reviews) | 4.1/5.0 (289 reviews) | Apple-ecosystem cross-device browsing with privacy | "[Clean, fast, and effortlessly web browsing.](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/apple-safari-review-12377703)" | | 4 | [Brave](https://www.g2.com/products/brave/reviews) | 4.6/5.0 (528 reviews) | Privacy-first browsing with built-in ad-blocking | "[Finally a browser that doesn't feel like it's spying on you.](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/brave-review-12970336)" | | 5 | [Multilogin](https://www.g2.com/products/multilogin/reviews) | 4.8/5.0 (101 reviews) | Multi-account browser isolation with anti-fingerprinting | "[Started with One Project, Stayed for the Results](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/multilogin-review-13091671)" | | 6 | [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.g2.com/products/mozilla-firefox/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (497 reviews) | Privacy-first browsing with cross-device sync | "[Secure, Community-Driven Browser with Expansive Add-Ons](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/mozilla-firefox-review-11043991)" | | 7 | [BitBrowser](https://www.g2.com/products/bitbrowser/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (117 reviews) | Multi-account anti-detect browsing with fingerprint isolation | "[Reliable Multi-Accounting with Powerful Automation and Proxy Tools](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/bitbrowser-review-12982763)" | | 8 | [Shift](https://www.g2.com/products/redbrick-shift/reviews) | 4.5/5.0 (263 reviews) | Multi-account browsing across unified workspaces | "[Seamless App Integration with Customization](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/shift-review-12433072)" | | 9 | [Octo Browser](https://www.g2.com/products/octo-browser/reviews) | 4.8/5.0 (65 reviews) | Multi-account browser fingerprint spoofing | "[User-Friendly Interface with Excellent Support](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/octo-browser-review-12039301)" | | 10 | [Opera](https://www.g2.com/products/opera/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (210 reviews) | All-in-one browsing with built-in VPN and sidebar | "[Feature-Rich Browser with Seamless AI and Privacy Tools (built-in VPN)](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/opera-review-12198755)" | ## G2 Grid® for Browsers ![G2 Grid® for Browsers plotting products by satisfaction and market presence](https://www.g2.com/categories/browsers/grids.png?focus%5B%5D=825&focus%5B%5D=87321&focus%5B%5D=828&focus%5B%5D=115912&focus%5B%5D=1197626&focus%5B%5D=827&focus%5B%5D=1447067&focus%5B%5D=49500) Highlighted products: Chrome Enterprise, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Brave, Multilogin, Mozilla Firefox, BitBrowser, and Shift.

[Collaboration & Productivity Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/collaboration-productivity) --- ## How Do You Choose the Right Browsers? ### What You Should Know About Browser Software ### What is a browser? A browser is a software application that lets users access, explore, and retrieve information from the internet on their desktops and mobile devices. Users must have internet access to use browsers.  A browser client program sends a user’s information queries to a [server](https://www.g2.com/glossary/server-definition). It then receives HTML, JavaScript, or CSS responses from the web address with the desired information. Next, the web browser uses a rendering engine to translate and render server responses in formats humans can understand, including text and images. Browsers use HTTP and HTTPS protocols to facilitate this communication between users and websites. ### Browser features Web browsers offer several features for meeting web standards, making the web accessible, and allowing users to enjoy the internet. - **The home page** is the first page that loads after a user opens a browser. Most browser programs feature default home page settings, which users can change according to their preferences.  - **The home button** is an icon that typically appears at the top of a web page. When users click it, it takes them to the starting point of a website. Many browsers let users set the home page, which they can visit by clicking the home button.  - **The address bar** or uniform resource locator (URL) is where users navigate where they want to visit on the web. They can also type [domain names](https://www.g2.com/glossary/domain-name-definition) and hit enter to see specific websites.  - **Navigation buttons** return users to pages they previously opened and move forward to pages based on their browser history. Users can find navigation buttons in the upper left corner of the browser window. - **Browsing history** is where the browser saves all the websites a user has visited. This section also retains metadata like page title and time of visit to help users revisit pages.  - **Bookmarks** are essential to web browsing as they let users store website URL addresses for future reference. People often use bookmarks to visit their most frequented sites, instead of typing out the URL. - **Autofill** helps users fill out forms based on the information they previously provided.  - **The refresh button** resembles a circular arrow icon and sits on the left or right side of the browser address bar, depending on which browser you’re using. It reloads and accesses updated content when users can’t do so themselves.  - **Tabbed browsing** offers users the option to open multiple web pages in one window. This feature is meant to help users organize and switch between pages. - **The stop button** stops a web page from loading by forcing the browser to cancel communication with the server.  - **Extensions** or plugins are software applications that users install to enhance the functionality of web browsers. ### Types of browsers Browsers are of two types: open-source and closed-source.  - **Open-source browsers** publicly share source code that developers can use or modify to improve browser performance. Mozilla Firefox is a free, open-source browser software available under the Mozilla Public License.  - **Closed-source or proprietary browsers** keep their codebase private, meaning developers can’t modify or redistribute them. Microsoft Edge is an example of a proprietary web browser. ### Benefits of using a browser Modern browsers provide users with various advantages. - **Cross-platform compatibility:** People can easily use web browsers on various [operating systems](https://www.g2.com/categories/operating-system), including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.   - **Easy installation and updates:** Installation, maintenance, and updating browser systems are easy via the web server.  - **Faster web page rendering:** Browsers feature advanced technology with memory and storage capability to execute JavaScript and render web pages faster.  - **Highly deployable:** Their manageability and cross-platform support make deploying web browsers simple. That’s why they’re ideal for giving users access to remote data even when bandwidth is limited.  - **Improved security:** Web browsers offer parental controls, anti-phishing protection, and malware prevention features to help lusers protect data and access the internet safely. - **Web standards compliance:** Today, most browsers come with improved performance and faster [page speed](https://learn.g2.com/page-speed) because they comply with the web standards the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) set.  - **Free availability:** Many web-based browsers cost nothing to download and install. ### Browsers vs. search engines Browsers make it possible for users to retrieve information from the World Wide Web. When someone enters a domain name into the address bar, a browser uses the domain name server (DNS) to match it against the corresponding IP address. The user’s device or the client requests HTTP and transmission control protocol (TCP) to the server with the web page a user wants to visit. The server then analyzes the requests and shares the web page in HTML format with the client device. A web browser’s job is to retrieve and display the data to the user.  Search engine applications use proprietary search algorithms to find [database](https://www.g2.com/articles/what-is-a-database) items salient to the user query. Modern search engines work by first crawling and indexing web pages, videos, and images available online. Next, they rank these results based on their freshness, relevance, and authority before showing search results to users. The key difference is that a browser retrieves and displays web page data, whereas a search engine helps users discover the most relevant results for their queries. ### Who uses web browsers? Internet users, business professionals, developers, researchers, and business entities commonly use web browsers.  - **Internet users** rely on browsers for various purposes, including reading news, viewing websites, shopping online, connecting to [social media platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/social-networks), and streaming videos.  - **Business professionals** use web browser systems to research, communicate via email and video conferencing, manage customer relationships, and collaborate with peers. - **Developers and IT professionals** turn to web browsers to test websites, cross-browser compatibility, and access documentation.  - **Researchers** review academic articles and access information from online databases using browsers.  - **Businesses** depend on browsers for distributing information and engaging with stakeholders. ### Browser pricing Most mainstream web browsers are free to download and use. They generate revenue with [paid search](https://learn.g2.com/paid-search), advertising, and data analytics. Some browsers may also offer freemium options, i.e., charging a fee for premium add-ons like [virtual private network (VPN)](https://www.g2.com/articles/what-is-a-vpn) and ad-blocking. Enterprise browser systems like Chrome Enterprise or Microsoft Edge for Business provide advanced security features and charge businesses based on the number of users or devices.  ### How to choose the best web browsers Users must consider factors like load time, compatibility, security, interface design, and support options to compare and choose the best web browsers.  - **Load time:** This criterion refers to the time a web browser takes to retrieve information from the world wide web and share it with the user. A slower load time creates a frustrating experience. Browsers with speedy load times that can block intrusive ads and unnecessary images significantly improve [user experience](https://www.g2.com/glossary/user-experience). - **Compatibility:** Some browsers end up offering sluggish experience on different operating systems despite their supposed cross-platform compatibility. That’s why checking what’s suitable for each user’s existing system is necessary.  - **Security:** Frequent security updates help users prevent [data security breaches](https://www.g2.com/articles/data-breach), avoid identity theft, and mitigate vulnerabilities. The updates keep browsers secure by testing, addressing, and fixing bugs and security issues. - **Functionality:** A functional browser features an easy-to-use interface and doesn’t complicate simple things. Users should choose browsers that function best for their needs to guarantee a superior browsing experience. - **Sync:** Most web browsers feature [cloud storage](https://learn.g2.com/what-is-cloud-storage) memory to store web search history, passwords, and bookmarks so users can access them across devices. Picking a browser with sync capabilities eliminates the need for signing in and out on different devices. - **Availability of extensions:** Browsers with plugins are suitable for users who need browser extensions to manage internet content. ### Web browsers with the best compatibility The [HTML5test](https://html5test.com/) website scores browsers based on their ability to support the HTML5 standard and other specifications created by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG). Chrome leads the pack, closely followed by Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. Reviewed and Edited by [Aisha West](https://www.linkedin.com/in/westeawest/)
