Android Authority ranks nine browsers built on the same base as Chrome, so you can leave Google's browser and keep how websites work.
Android Authority has published a ranking of the nine best browsers that run on the same core technology as Google Chrome but are not made by Google. The pitch is simple: Chrome is the default for many people, but there are plenty of alternatives, and there is no need to settle for the first option.
Chromium is a shared, open-source foundation. Open-source means the code is public and anyone can build on it. Chrome uses it, and so do many rival browsers. Each one adds its own look, features and rules on top of that common base.
Because these browsers share a base with Chrome, most Chrome add-ons and most websites should work in them. That lowers the cost of switching. You are not starting over with a browser that handles sites differently.
The upside, according to the material, is that you may gain more privacy or useful features that Chrome does not offer.
The full article was not available for this report, so the names of the nine browsers and the reasons behind the ranking are not covered here. How each one handles privacy, speed or battery use is also unknown from the material provided.
Anyone curious about a switch can read the original Android Authority list and try one browser alongside Chrome first. Check that your add-ons and the sites you use most still work before you commit.
If you want a change from Chrome, a browser built on the same base should still run most of your sites and add-ons, so trying one carries little risk.
