Common questions
- Which browser is best for privacy?
- Depends how far you want to go. Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are built for anonymity but break some sites; LibreWolf and Brave harden a lot while staying usable every day. The quiz weighs how much breakage you'll tolerate before ranking them.
- What are the serious alternatives to Chrome?
- Keeping the engine and your extensions: Brave, Vivaldi, Thorium or Ungoogled Chromium. Leaving Google's engine entirely: Firefox, LibreWolf or Zen Browser.
- What's the lightest browser?
- On old desktop hardware, NetSurf, Dillo and Falkon stay comfortable where Chrome gives up. In a terminal, Lynx and w3m run on anything with a prompt.
- Why do all iPhone browsers feel the same?
- Apple requires iOS browsers to use its WebKit engine (outside the EU, where the rule has loosened but hardly anyone has switched), so on an iPhone they differ in features and sync — not in speed or site compatibility.
- How does the ranking work?
- Your answers set weights across 22 criteria; every browser carries a 0–3 score on each. Multiply, sum, sort. The only hard filters are your devices and, if you ask for it, open source only — and nobody pays for placement. The whole method is public.
