Google Chrome
The browser the web is still built around.
Chrome is the everyday default for a reason: sites, extensions, and web apps land here first. It is fast, familiar, and free — the safe choice when you just want things to work.
Privacy tools are weaker out of the box than Brave or Firefox. If compatibility matters most, Chrome is still #1. Pair it with good habits, or switch when ads and trackers are the bigger pain.
Why it's here
- Best site and extension compatibility on Windows
- Fast, familiar, and free
- PWAs and Google account sync when you want them
- Weaker privacy defaults — Brave/Firefox win that fight
