Thorium
Thorium
Thorium uses many modifications to the compiler configuration file, which highly optimizes the browser, at the cost of size. Thorium uses the official builds of Chrome and Chromium also uses Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), this optimization technique uses a profile data file, which is generated by a profiler to optimize the entire binary. The profiler does a test run of the binary, and records which parts of code are accessed most frequently, their memory access patterns, and what data they frequently fetch. There are many Chromium-based browsers out there with subsets of these optimizations, but only Thorium uses all of them together to bring the most performant browsing experience on Linux, Windows, MacOS, and Raspberry Pi.Starting Price: Free -

Privacy Browser is now much better at guessing the file name. It also displays an alert dialog that allows the user to change the name before the download begins. There is now an option to display up to three additional action buttons in the app bar, space allowing. These buttons control first-party cookies, DOM storage, and form data.

Sleipnir
Fenrir
If you browse the web on a regular basis, there is no day when you don't see the text on any page. The web browser that displays them turns out to be a "tool for reading letters".

To beautify the text on every page is to beautify the entire world of the web that you will see. Is it natural that the characters you see on your PC are jagged? With the evolution of display performance, the days when PC characters had to be coarse dots are long gone. Despite this, the characters in a typical browser still look like a retro game console. With the advent of Sleipnir, you can finally browse the web with beautiful modern characters on your PC. To maximize the natural beauty and readability of characters, Sleipnir uses uniquely tailored font rendering. The display, which makes a difference at a glance, is as good as a graphic tool used by professionals.Starting Price: Free -
