Stop Using Google Chrome!

Google Chrome is the most popular browser available in the market right now and that is evident by its huge user base that only seems to be rising. So why not use it? Read on..



Google Chrome is the most stable of all the browsers and the large number of extensions available can truly give you a personalized experience. But all of this comes at a cost. Google Chrome is also one of the top resource user on your machine. It eats up a huge chunk of RAM while using, so for devices with limited RAMs the performance is not great. In fact it would be advisable to use an alternative. In most of the benchmark tests the performance of Google Chrome is not comparable to its alternatives.

Google has built Chrome to be extendable and you can easily sign in to your Google account to sync your bookmarks, history and saved passwords on any number of your devices. Though it adds a little touch of convenience, it also raises some issues with Google tracking all your browsing data.

So What's the Alternative?

There are many alternate browsers available in the market like Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge that match up to the potential of Google Chrome. 




But I would recommend using the Opera browser for some of its many add on features.

  • Opera has an in built Ad-Block so you don't need to install any extensions to avoid those annoying ads all over Facebook and YouTube.
  • It also contains a turbo mode for slow connections that essentially lowers the data usage in loading web pages and is recommended if you're using a mobile connection.
  • The new Opera browser also comes in with free VPN that can be used to access content restricted by your ISP.
  • The browser also comes in with a battery saver mode that promises to increase your battery life while browsing.
  • Opera has a clean UI without any clutter and also provides a huge number of extensions to personalize your experience.
