Yes, exactly what the internet needs.....another Chromium-based web browser

    Aramissss, 04 Dec 2018Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Browser Market ShareThanks. Seems like Statcounter doesn't make difference between mobile and desktop browser use. Then it's understandable as most of people are too stupid/lazy to get alternative on mobile device. Never seen anyone using desktop Chrome in my life. :) But then again, my friends are usually pretty computer savvy.

        Anonymous, 05 Dec 2018Seriously? Are you living in a cave or something?Why would anyone use this unoptimized spying RAM-hog? Especially if there are plenty of alternatives available?

            Firefox is the best. Opera isn't good anymore. Can't say much about Chrome.

              Microsoft Open sourced Windows Forms, WinUI, WPF and the rest is pure garbage, Windows kernel have been dead for a decade it's only optimized for single threaded workloads, next move is to release ms dist and end Windows

                        Chrome is a memory hog.
                        Firefox is the better option but every time I go to open it it's installing an update, quite annoying.
                        Opera is great but it doesn't work well on my pc for video's for some reason.
                        Not familiar with Edge as it failed to many times for me to give it a chance.
                        IE is still my go-to browser for everyday tasks.

                          Microsoft should use Chrome browser preinstalled instead of edge & IE :)
                          Chrome is best browser , Also Firefox is good in 2nd place

I suppose you didn't read the disclaimer. A user can be tracked, even if on Tails, if they perform a trackable operation. Obviously For warns against such actions but people never read the disclaimer.
                                BTW the Opera you use has built in VPN which you can use to open prohibited sites.
