Alternative Web Browsers

Most people know that the three main browsers are Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. These have all become brand names because of the features and user experiences that they offer.

Google Chrome is known for its fast browsing speed and simple interface and Firefox for its flexible platform due to the sheer amount of plugins available.

There are a lot of alternative browsers out there already that offer more specialist features to try and help make browsing more accessible and enjoyable in many different ways.

In this article I have picked out 4 of the best alternative browsers that offer different user experiences.
