The right browser can make a massive difference to the way your internet works. It can protect you from advertisers’ tracking and from online irritations. It can sync all your stuff with your phone and/or tablet. It can bring you the content you need and filter out the stuff that you don’t.  Big news isn’t that common in the world of web browsers, but in late 2019 there was a bit of an earthquake: Microsoft’s Edge embraced Chromium, the same software that powers Google Chrome. That means four of the five top browsers are Chromium-powered. The main holdouts are Apple's Safari (not included here) which uses WebKit, and Firefox, which uses Gecko. That’s had an interesting effect on our top five, and demonstrates that browser tech can still surprise us.  No matter what kind of internet user you are, there’s a browser out there that’s perfect for you – and chances are it’s one of these top five.
