Vivaldi was created in 2016 by the former CEO of Opera with the objective of giving full control to the user. It provides one of the highest amounts of customization in the browser industry giving you the possibility to arrange everything, from tab positions to gesture mapping – making sure you end up with a browser that feels like your own. In fact, after you go over all the settings and tweak every single detail, Vivaldi won't even seem like it's based on Chromium at all. Moreover, it comes with so many features that you won't need to lose time hunting for extensions as you'll already be getting a practical browser that's perfect for multitasking. All of this, while still providing a certain amount of privacy since Vivaldi does not store its users' browsing history and uses end-to-end encryption when sending browser data between devices through its syncing feature. When it was originally released, Vivaldi was only available for desktop but in 2019 it released a beta version for Android.

Who would have thought that a side project of a 16-year old would become one of the most popular Firefox forks in the world? With millions of downloads, Waterfox gained its popularity back in the day because it was the only Firefox fork that had an x64 build when Windows 7 came out. This meant that you would get the same features as Firefox while also having improved speeds and sending less personal information to the Firefox servers. However, those days are long gone, and Firefox has developed into a faster, more reliable, and more private browser in the past few years.

So, why should you still consider using Waterfox now? Well, Waterfox stopped its evolution after Firefox 56's release, so you can still get the more traditional interface as well as use both newer and older add-ons.

In 2019, the popular cleaning and optimization software, CCleaner, made the move of building its own browser service. Owned by Avast, CCleaner Browser offers a handful of neat security and privacy features, fast speeds, and does not use too much memory or CPU resources. Moreover, it also comes with an intuitive, built-in ad blocker, as well as a video downloader that lets you download any video on the internet, YouTube included. On top of that, CCleaner Browser is still developing some of its features, and we can expect it to come with built-in CCleaner shortly. If that is not enough, since it's based on Chromium, you can always install your favorite Chrome extensions. Unfortunately, it's only available for Windows from 7 onwards.

If there's something that never goes out of fashion it's email, but with the advance of technology, it's no longer enough to simply send and receive emails. We also need ways to filter our overflowing inbox, a calendar for our busy schedules, a handy task manager, and other productive tools to save us precious time. Moreover, privacy and security have become a considerable concern to internet users lately, which means that email clients need to step up their game and start offering encryption tools so that the only people reading your messages are you and the recipient. eM Client knows this and, since 2007, has been upgrading its services to answer its users' needs. Making eM Client an excellent product that not only will increase your productivity but secure your emails too. Best of all, it does it all free of charge.

‘Why would anyone want to steal my identity?' It's a common question when talking about identity theft, but it's more about what culprits can do with your identity than it is about them stealing what you have. For this reason, anyone is a potential victim, which explains why the identity theft protection industry is flourishing. Since 2009, California-based IdentityIQ services have been monitoring for many of the telltale signs of identity theft and then sending its users alerts whenever suspicious activity is detected. When it does, the user is notified and IdentityIQ experts can help guide the victim through the recovery process. There aren't any free trials available to test IdentityIQ services out for yourself, but prices start at just $7.49 with a variety of plans to choose from.

When you're looking for parental control software it's reassuring to know that the software is made by experts in the field with vast experience in online security, which is exactly what you'll get with Kaspersky's Safe Kids. Kaspersky was founded in Russia back in 1997 and has been in the internet security business ever since, famous for products such as its antivirus software and VPN service. The company gained notoriety in 2017 after allegations of ties to the Russian government, and since then has distanced itself from that and permitted independent reviews of its products – which is reassuring, because they produce some excellent software. Safe Kids is packed with tools to help moderate your child's internet usage. With each step of setting up your parental controls, you are given expert advice by a professional child psychologist. There's a free version of Kaspersky Safe Kids available, but it's limited in its features and scope so it's better to try the free seven-day trial of the full product to make the most of it.

Having been around for over two decades, Opera is not a new name in the browser industry. During these years, Opera has had time to evolve and become what it is today – a fast and reliable browser with a tremendous number of built-in features for you to explore as well as different versions of the software built for specific niches, such as the gaming browser, Opera GX. When it comes to privacy, Opera is also a step ahead of its competitors since it offers both an ad blocker and a built-in VPN. Unsurprisingly, Opera is available on all desktop operating systems as well as iOS and Android. It seems to be too good to be true, and it might be. Does this browser deserve a standing ovation or a 'booing' from its audience? Let's find out.
