There are many people who swear allegiance to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as the default program but these two are not the only browsers that can be used to browse websites. Let's say that the competition raises the quality of this type of program and, fortunately, there is a wide choice of alternatives and browsers similar to each other but with different characteristics that can be more or less useful depending on the needs.
Chrome and Firefox are excellent programs, updated continuously, but which may have fed up those who would like something different.
Considering the many ways in which you can surf the internet and considering needs that Chrome and Firefox do not satisfy (for example because on old or cheap PCs weigh a lot), you can then try the following 10 new browsers for PCs alternative to Chrome and Firefox .

1) Vivaldi browser, by the developers of the old Opera, a modern and formidable browser released in 2015.
2) Opera Neon, the most innovative browser of all, released in 2017.
3) Slimjet, fast and light.
4) Maxthon, in addition to being fast, also has very interesting features such as mouse gestures, bookmarks synchronized with Maxthon accounts, speed dialing, popup blocking, online notepad, RSS reader, instant translator, screen capture tools, sniffers that detects the sources of streaming videos to download them and other things.
Maxthon is also a browser for Android and iPhone.
5) MXNitro, a lightened version of Maxthon, very fast.
6) SRWare Iron
This browser is based on Chromium but it is a version optimized for speed and in fact it is Chrome at double speed.
Even SRWare Iron Browser has been emptied of the presence of Google and does not send anonymous information and statistics externally.
Iron works in much the same way as Chrome and all normal extensions and scripts can be installed.
The SRWare Iron Download can be done with the portable version or the one to be installed.
SRWare Iron is the browser that I recommended to use to visit light (mobile) sites from the computer.
7) K-Meleon (Windows) is a very complete, very fast and customizable Firefox-based browser, to try absolutely.
8) Sleipnir: the best of all web browsers in one, a must try.
9) Convenient Dragon Internet Browser
Comodo is a company that produces security software for the computer.
Comodo Dragon is a browser (based on Chromium) to surf the internet safely, with full control of privacy and with identification of SSL certificates.
With incognito mode it stops all cookies and does not download trackers that can identify a user.
It is not a browser to surf completely anonymously but guarantees safe browsing from the dangers of the internet and does not allow sites to execute virus or phishing codes (pages of deception for bank or credit card scams).
10) Palemoon
If SRWare Iron is the fast Chrome-based browser, PaleMoon is the fastest version of Firefox.
Of this alternative browser I wrote a specific article indicating Pale Moon as the lightest, fastest and most optimized Firefox.
11) Wyzo (no longer exists)
Mozilla Wyzo is a Firefox 3 version which is optimized for downloading from the internet, searching and downloading Torrent files .
It is therefore a Firefox 3 version, compatible with the old extensions that do not work on Firefox 4, Firefox 5 and later.
When installing Wyzo, care must be taken not to download and install sponsor programs.
Wyzo, whose Italian language can be set, is equipped with some specific add-ons to facilitate downloads such as: FireDownload, a download accelerator, FireTorrent, extension that transforms the browser into a torrent client, Skipscreen, the extension that allows to skip expectations from popular file-sharing sites like MegaUpload and the like.
12) Lunascape is the browser that integrates Chrome Firefox and Internet Explorer together of which I have already spoken a short time ago.
13) Opera
Opera is the real alternative to Firefox and Chrome because it is the fastest browser with many functions including the VPN I mentioned several times on Navigaweb.
14) Tor Browser, the only one that allows you to surf in complete anonymity.
15) Chromium
This is the open source web browser from which Google Chrome is born and in fact it is absolutely identical, only the Google brand is missing.
The only thing they are different about is that on Chromium you can disable the crash reporting and usage statistics that Chrome sends to Google.
Chromium does not have the built-in flash plugin or the PDF reader.
The extensions of the Chrome Web Store are however all installable on Chromium, normally and with full compatibility.
Chromium can be run simultaneously with Chrome because they are two programs and two different installations.
There is also a portable version of Chrome that can be copied to a USB stick without installation.
