oogle Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are arguably the two most popular web browsers currently in use. However, that doesn’t mean there are no alternatives available to choose from.
Here’s a list of five web browsers with useful features to try, as compiled by PCMag.
1. Epic Privacy Browser
Epic Privacy Browser promises privacy that even the incognito mode of browsers like Google Chrome and Internet Explorer won’t offer. With ads and trackers blocked, you won't have to worry about your data being leaked.
2. Opera Neon
A fresh take on visual tabs, Opera Neon’s wallpaper look like a PC desktop. Visually pleasing and aesthetic, the browser has a refreshing design with promising features. However, the product has not been fully released yet and is still in its preview stages.

3. Comodo IceDragon

4. Torch
Torch comes with a Torrent manager that can easily stream music and videos. A great media-saturated browser, Torch is perfect for those who want to easily save videos from YouTube.
5. WebbIE
