Overview

Overall, after reviewing the three browsers I would say my recommendation would depend on what the user is looking for. Google Chrome would be a good choice for most users as long as they’re aware of the potential privacy concerns. Safari would be a good option for someone who has apple products. Lastly Mozilla would be great for someone whose main concern is to protect their privacy. If I had to decide one just one, I like google chrome personally but to another person I would say Firefox as its secure, competitive in speed, customizable, and although it may not have as many extensions as google chrome it still offers a wide selection.
