The UI is more rectilinear (which I prefer) and is quite simple. Microsoft Edge has a very similar vibe with a little different layout. Extensions like this are one of the reasons Chrome is so popular. For instance: with the Wolfram|Alpha extension, just type = before your search and it will do a Wolfram|Alpha search. What you type in the search bar, or omnibox will do a search on your set default search engine or other sites based on what you type before it. Chrome was given an update to follow their design standard, Material Design (at least the icons). To the left of the search bar, you've got your standard back and forward buttons as well as refresh with an optional home button. Extensions are put to the side of the address bar and can be collapsed under the "more" menu in the top right of the browser. You've got at the top your tabs, address bar, and optional bookmarks. Your toolbar is minimal, to give you more room to view the website, which is the whole point of a web browser. All four browsers have plugins/addons/extensions and the popular ones are probably supported on all platforms.Īll modern browsers will have an address bar, search bar (some combined), tabs (and a new tab screen), bookmarks, and unique elements for that browser. While they share many aspects of each other, they have small distinctions that could possibly (though I suggest to not let it) make or break your browser decision.Įxtensions are a necessity for browsers, which is why it might be harder to get behind some of the lesser-known browsers (they might not have the extension you want). Before we get into the nitty-gritty tech specs, let's consider the layout and design of each browser.
