I’m looking to make the switch from Chrome to a browser that offers better privacy and performance — especially when managing a large number of tabs (typically 20+ open at once).
I’ve been testing Opera GX on my school computer, and while it has some interesting features like the GPU limiter, I’m not convinced it’s the best fit. I value customization, but my main concerns are performance and effective tab management.
I know Opera GX offers some unique capabilities, but I’m wondering if there are better alternatives out there that deliver the same or better performance and privacy.
Would appreciate feedback and suggestions from anyone who’s tried different browsers. Also, feel free to drop any performance tips or features you’ve found helpful!
Well, I am not paid by them to say it 
but Firefox… man! It is the definition of performance and privacy, and the bread and butter for me.
It’s one of the go-to browsers for users who prioritize privacy and customization. It’s open-source and can be optimized for performance, especially for users who tend to have a lot of tabs open. Enabling multi-process mode and tweaking the performance settings can significantly improve Firefox’s efficiency.
Additionally, the privacy features, such as Enhanced Tracking Protection, make it ideal for those who want to avoid tracking without sacrificing performance. If you’re dealing with a lot of tabs, Firefox’s tab grouping and management features can help you stay organized.
For web developers or testers, Firefox also integrates well with tools like LambdaTest, allowing you to test web pages across different environments to ensure consistent performance, even under heavy tab usage.
Hope you like it. Thanks!
@shilpa.chandel, no doubt your suggestion is good, but talking about the browsing experience on PC and not mentioning Microsoft Edge is a sin. The fact that it is optimized with Windows, which is the workplace for a great many people, makes it a great choice and my favourite.
Microsoft Edge has made significant strides and is now considered a solid alternative to Chrome, especially for users who need a browser that can handle a lot of tabs without bogging down system resources. Since it’s built on Chromium, it has good compatibility with most extensions and websites.
Edge also offers strong memory optimization, making it more efficient than Chrome when handling many open tabs. The “Tab Groups” feature is a huge advantage for managing multiple sessions.
For developers or teams testing websites across browsers, LambdaTest can help simulate how Edge handles different web environments, ensuring your site performs optimally across versions and browsers. Plus, with its built-in privacy features like tracking prevention, Edge ensures that your browsing experience is more secure.
Use Brave!! @anusha_gg. It’s another excellent option if you’re looking for a browser that emphasizes both privacy and performance.
By blocking ads and trackers by default, Brave ensures faster page loads and reduces the strain on your system — especially when multiple tabs are open. With built-in tools like GPU acceleration management, it gives you more control over system resources, making it ideal for performance-heavy tasks.
If you’re a developer or need to ensure your site’s performance across different environments, LambdaTest can complement your workflow by offering cross-browser testing for Brave. It helps you analyze how well your site performs without the interruptions of ads or trackers.
Thanks
