Anyone working with a computer knows that web browsers or browsers are used to perform Internet surfing (access to sites). For Windows 10 64 bit, a lot of them have been released. This can include both proprietary tools built into the operating system and third-party developments. But what of all this diversity is the best application? Let's try to consider the most popular means of access to Internet resources, based on official ratings. It is immediately worth noting that such popularity lists are compiled on the basis of our own research by rating companies, so the distribution of places may not correspond to user preferences. It is not surprising, because the testers themselves also have their own preferences, and the criteria for evaluating the work of a particular program can also vary significantly. But first things first.
Most popular browsers for Windows 10 (64 bit)
Of course, it’s simply impossible to talk about what exactly is better for this version of the system - due to the fact that users themselves choose what it is easier and more convenient to use. Nevertheless, several basic programs can still be distinguished. Almost every user knows them, at least once faced with the problem of choosing the appropriate software.
The browser rating for Windows 10 64 bit, basically, is not much different from what was provided for use on systems of a lower rank. As usual, the top lines are occupied by such grandees as Opera, Chrome, Mozilla, etc. However, it was in this version of the system that rather interesting built-in tools appeared that are not inferior to third-party software products.
Edge and Internet Explorer
These browsers for Windows 10 64 bit 2017 release in the form of installed updates have shown themselves from a very unusual side. The fact is that in terms of speed and opening of web pages they surpass third-party analogues.
Many IE users who previously installed the tool for accessing Internet pages on Windows systems are frankly unhappy by default. But few people know that the browser version in Windows 10 has undergone dramatic changes. First of all, this concerns the fact that the application is not used in the default settings by default. Instead, there is Edge. Both browsers show fairly good performance in terms of speed and ergonomics. But Edge, as it is believed, is somewhat complicated to configure, and IE is simply not popular (apparently, the previously formed negative attitude is affecting).
Opera
Classic browsers for Windows 10 64 bit, of course, cannot be considered without mentioning the beloved Opera. The latest version looks fast enough, stable and easy to configure.
A huge plus is the built-in VPN function, the activation of which allows you to access sites blocked in a certain region (for example, some Russian media are banned in Ukraine). The browser itself also by default has an activated ad blocking system (AdBlock). The minus of the program can only be called the fact that when you turn on the VPN mode, some resources are inaccessible, although without it they work quite normally. This is nonsense.
Google chrome
The brainchild of Google has always enjoyed well-deserved popularity among users. The browser works quite quickly, however, if you do not clean your browsing history regularly and delete temporary files, a noticeable "slowdown" begins.
Along with all this, one interesting fact can be noted: a browser is required to be installed if the user is going to install and use the RDP remote access client of the same name. In all likelihood, this is a kind of marketing ploy associated with the popularization of this software product. In terms of pluses, one can note even the simplicity of the settings and many add-ons (extensions), of which today you can find the most for this browser.
Mozilla firefox
Considering browsers for Windows 10 64 bit, you can’t ignore the "fire fox", which, judging by the ratings, has recently quite strongly outstripped competitors.
This is due to the fact that the latest versions have become less demanding on system resources and have a fairly high speed of access to Internet pages. In addition, as for Chrome, the development of additional add-ons and panels has intensified.
Chromium Development
Separately, it is worth noting the Russian and Chinese software development based on the Chromium engine. Among Russian browsers, one of the first places is occupied by Yandex-browser. Windows 10 64 bit perceives it without problems. But, again, as in Chrome, without proper care, this browser also starts to have problems. Apparently, this is the fate of all software products using the above engine.
But here’s what’s really bad: Yandex browser for Windows 10 64 bit is so actively advertised even on the company's official resource that it makes many think about the feasibility of installing it.
The same applies to the equally obsessive proposal to install the Amigo browser from Mail.Ru Group. But it can be installed into the system not only by accidentally pressing the wrong button when trying to download files from the Internet, but it is also present as affiliate software when installing already downloaded programs. The fact that not only the browser itself is installed, but also a huge number of additional applications related to popular social networks, looks completely negative. At the same time, the icons appear on the “Desktop”, in the “Start” menu, and in the “Taskbar”. And the add-ons themselves are loaded with the system, getting rid of them is quite problematic (some files are not deleted at all).
But it looks very interesting new Chinese developments like 360 ​​Safety Browser. The program is very lightweight, works quickly and is configured as simple as possible. On the other hand, sometimes you may notice an unexpected reset. Again, apparently, these are engine problems. However, the program is pretty good. At least, at first, it simply amazes with the speed of its actions.
Best browser for Windows 10 64 bit
So what to choose from all these programs? It is rather difficult to advise something concrete. But, if you approach this issue purely from a practical point of view, it is best to install "Opera" or "Mozilla" - only on condition that their distributions were downloaded from official sites and do not have tags like Stable. Such versions, as a rule, are not available on official resources, but are uploaded to sites of dubious or advertising content.
But programs like Amigo are not recommended to be installed categorically. Then you can get a lot of problems trivially, and the application itself with all the related components will not be easy to remove unless you know the order of the actions to be performed. Registry intervention will be required (at least). However, this is a separate conversation.
