Google Chrome

Google Chrome has long reigned supreme in the world of web browsers, but it has now slipped to second place on our list. Chrome has an extensive extension library to help you customize your browser experience, as well as a sleek, minimalist design that carries all the information and functionality you need without getting in the way or looking ugly.

It's also compatible with nearly every device on the market, and you can sync your preferred settings across devices using your Google account. That means your smartphone, for example, will remember the bookmarks you saved on your laptop.

However, it has become a little resource-hungry, devouring your system RAM if you have too many web pages open at the same time. It's also not great when it comes to privacy settings, and it employs a highly contentious method of sorting users known as FLOC, so if you're worried about big tech snooping on you, try Edge or Firefox instead.
