Many of these browsers are built on the idea of revolutionizing the Internet browsing experience, but some are specially tailored to better guard user privacy and security and those are the ones in which we are interested. Nearly any built-in feature that curbs tracking is turned off by default and must be actively sought out and implemented by privacy conscious users.įortunately, there is a wealth of alternative browsers available online, with new ones popping up so often that it borders on the overwhelming. Unfortunately though, nothing comes free, and the big four browsers are, by design, mechanisms used by Microsoft, Google, Apple, and the Mozilla Corporation respectively to track their users online and sell their browsing data to the big data brokerage firms. They each offer a robust set of interesting features, extensions, and plugins and each has a highly customizable settings page that should meet the needs of almost any user.

At this point, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox are all modern, functional, and perfectly serviceable Web browsers.
