5 Best Internet Servers for Smooth Browsing

Modern web browsers have excellent speed, are more trustworthy, and provide a plethora of customization possibilities. All of this, however, comes at the expense of system performance.

There are numerous wonderful bare-bones web browsers to consider if you can live without all the bells and whistles of new-age browsers.

Here are lists of the top five best Internet Servers for Smooth Browsing:

Google Chrome

Chrome is the most popular internet browser in the world (with an estimated worldwide market share of over 60%) and the quickest right now. It took the top position in all but one of our tests and was extremely close to Edge, which finished second.

Chrome performed effectively with a variety of JavaScript apps and intricate visual graphics even without any plugins loaded. While some of the browsers on this list fared better than others in particular tests, Chrome consistently gives reliable results.

Microsoft Edge

In practice, Edge is just as quick as Chrome. It was significantly slower before it was rebuilt with Chromium in 2020, but it can now easily handle JavaScript web apps and generate graphics.

Edge, like Chrome, is a straightforward browser that is ideal for general online browsing. It contains a plethora of useful UI features, such as device sync, a wide context menu, and a handy “collections” tool. Compatibility with Chrome add-ons is also a benefit.

Edge doesn’t have anything to offer that Chrome doesn’t already have, but it’s far quicker than the alternatives. For more details, see our entire Microsoft Edge review and our Microsoft Edge versus Chrome comparison.

Opera

If Chrome and Edge tie for the first position, Opera would be the runner-up. The difference between the top two browsers and Opera is wider than the one between Chrome and Edge, so it’s not in the same category in terms of performance — at least on paper. In actuality, nothing about Opera is visibly slower, since it operates admirably with little to no latency.

It finished third in Speedometer and fourth in JetStream 2, falling to Chromium. Although Chromium performed better in this test, it is a slower browser overall, thus we believe Opera should be ranked third. It lagged considerably behind when it came to producing visual graphics, but as it isn’t the most crucial requirement for excellent online surfing, we ignored it.

Brave

In Speedometer, Brave, our top Mac browser, trailed Opera by such a little margin that they were almost identical. For the next two tests, Brave and Opera switched roles, with Brave behind Opera in managing complicated and rare apps while outperforming Opera in rendering complex visual images.

Brave is a private and safe browser that we enjoy. It was created with privacy in mind from the start, with an ad-blocker built in, HTTPS Everywhere, and a revolutionary advertising approach that protects rather than compromises your privacy.

Vivaldi

In Speedometer, Vivaldi’s performance was approximately equivalent to that of Brave and Opera, but it fell notably short while rendering intricate images in MotionMark. When it comes to managing complex web applications with JetStream, it was still a close race.

Vivaldi was created by the co-founder of Opera with the notion of a fully complete browser in mind. Vivaldi goes above Opera in terms of functionality and customization possibilities, even including performance-enhancing features like hibernating tabs.
