Firefox
A full browser from a nonprofit foundation, on its own engine.
Instead of Chrome, Edge

Firefox is open source and made by Mozilla, a nonprofit foundation, on an engine of its own, which keeps the web from running on a single browser engine. It syncs, it has strong privacy settings, and it works with nearly every site, so Delivery is a 5.
Most of Mozilla's income has come from search deals, mainly with Google, and we left a 3 on Power for that tension. Check the current privacy settings after you install it, since defaults change. Scores are our reading of public sources.
- Open source, made by a nonprofit foundation
- Runs on its own engine, so the web does not depend on one browser
- Funded largely by a search deal with Google
