The best web browsers for 2020

Which web browser is most popular?

All newly acquired laptops and desktops come with an already installed web browser.

In the case of Windows computers, it's been Internet Explorer so far, even though the older browser was recently replaced by Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 devices.

The same thing happens with iPhone or Android phones, with Safari, Google Google or other like pre-established web browsers.

However, any user has the opportunity to download their favorite browser, either through an online offer or through application downloading platforms such as the App Store or Google Play.

Changing the default browser on your PC is not complicated and is a way that gets popular every day.

That's why it's exciting to analyze the results provided in the latest W3Counter report, where you can see the preferences of Internet users when using the web last December.

Thirteen, Google Chrome attains first position and is also a popular browser for over half users.

Safari is next in second place, with Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge taking third place, beating Firefox for another month.

Norwegian Opera reaches the most used line, with 3.7 percent of the total Internet traffic.

What you really want to know is to share the data provided by the list of the ten most used types, since half of them are from Google Chrome, even now no longer compatible with Windows XP and Vista and Mac devices.

On the other hand, Microsoft Edge or Opera can't position itself

Which web browser is best?

These statistics are not enough to determine which web browser is better, among other reasons, because some companies specializing in data analysis have a different conclusion.

StCCounter, for example, places the UC browser as the world's most used web browser.

The speed of navigation and the functions provided by each of them can also be other factors to consider, although the results of these comparisons would have stopped working immediately.

We must remember that the technology companies responsible for creating these blocks are constantly updating, developing and modifying their products.

Although many consumers agree that Google is the best tool, the fact is that all browsers are free and their use can be integrated with that of others.

In fact, at PCWorld Spain we use both Chrome and Firefox and Opera on Windows devices, while we exchange Safari, Chrome and Firefox on Mac computers.

The reason is simple. Although extensions can be installed in all, some are only available in certain browsers. In addition, it is common for a page that can be viewed from one browser to do so from another.

On the other hand, almost all of them provide opportunities to automatically remember passwords and, with the exception of Internet Explorer, sync all browsing data, a list of saved bookmarks and open tabs between multiple devices.

In this way, one can proceed from the cell phone the article was reading on the computer.

In this sense, it should be concluded that the best browser will be the one the user can use on all of their professional devices and share useful information such as bookmarks and access codes.

This functionality can be found in Chrome and Safari, but only in this case if Apple products are available.

Below, you can find three tables comparing advanced web browsers in terms of their functionality and compatibility in applications running Apple, Windows and Linux, among other features.

3 best browsers

Although it may seem like this, there are plenty of other browsers, most of which you may not yet know. We suggest that you give one of these three options a chance.

Yandex: Created by an anonymous multinational company – Russia's largest tech company – is similar to Russia and Google Chrome, because it was also born as a search engine and uses the same code (Chromium).

The default search engine is Bing, but can be changed to your own and Google's, among others. Compatible with Windows and Apple products and a long list of extensions.

Comodo IceDragon: According to Firefox code, it is considered faster and safer than a Mozilla browser, as it keeps you away from suspicious web pages and viruses, and protects your access codes.

Currently it only works with Windows and allows you to install the same extensions as Firefox.

Maxthon: Most compatible of the three, it can work on Windows, Apple and Linux devices. Users can choose between WebKit and Trident as your favorite search engine.

They also have useful features like Maxnot's bookmarking system, Passenger password manager and UUMail's email service.
