We pitted Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge against one another to pick the best browsers for 2024. Want something different? We have alternatives too.

Google Chrome has overtaken other browsers in terms of market share. But which browser is ahead when it comes to practical use and protection against hackers and privacy?

If you want to close all opened browser tabs at once in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, use the built-in options or add-ons & extensions.

Making these work with all the browsers keeps everyone honest, and encourages further development. That message isn't always getting through.

It's frustrating to deal with the constant threat of browser-based malware, pop-ups, and extensions gone wild. I wonder where all the good browsers have gone? It would be nice to have one that works.
